[COLOR=#4f81bd]Are the ghosts of 2008-2009 looking to haunt the markets again?[/COLOR]

There were many amongst us in 2008-2009 who believed that insoluble medium term sovereign debt crises would be the ultimate result of rescuing the insolvent banking system by way of quantitative easing and continual bailouts (both secretive and published). As the dangerous portents of the crises return that prediction looks correct…
According to a Bloomberg index European banking and ‘financial’ stocks in Europe fell 5.6 percent yesterday to sink to their lowest level since March 2009, the measure of banks’ reluctance to lend to each other also spiked to the highest since April of that same year. The Bloomberg Europe Banks and Financial Services Index of 46 stocks has dropped almost 10 percent in the past two sessions, to the lowest level since March 31, 2009.
In the UK the bank RBS, much maligned at the time of the crisis in 2008-2009, has seen it’s share price once again flirt with the record lows experienced during the crisis. At 51p the UK govt. breaks even on it’s rescue, Lloyds has to recover to 74p. At 21p and 31p respectively, the market for banking sector shares would have to make a massive recovery, similar to the secular bear market rally since 2010, for the govt. and tax payers to break even….

[color=#4682B4]The four corners of trader development[/color]

After practicing an overlapping drill last Friday with my football youth team I reminded one of the seventeen year olds, who I’ve known and coached since the age of five, that the first time we did this drill he was seven. In fact his memory of the drill proved better than mine and he performed it superbly; in terms of timing, weight on the pass, acceleration to be in the right zone, compensating for others’ weak passes, the drill was superbly executed.
Later on I considered the development of certain players I’ve known since they were no more than infants and how their development paths have all taken different routes and time. Within football coaching echelons we’re often given the advice (from the F.A.) that during childhood the development span of a child could be up to five years, for example, a ten year old could be playing at the overall level of a fifteen year old, similarly other youngsters could still be at the playing level of five year olds.
The F.A. created some intel on this subject, it was termed “the four corners of development”. Pondering on its merits I decided it would be an incredibly useful exercise to use the stages of development as a reference to reveal how we unconsciously develop as traders.
We narrow the four corners of development into two areas, consciousness and competence;

* Unconsciously incompetent
* Consciously incompetent
* Consciously competent
* Unconsciously competent

These four key development stages are broken down like this: … read the full article

The Swish of the Swiss

The new or rather renewed phrase on every bodies lips after yesterday’s stunning bombshell, (delivered with precise laser guidance by the Swiss central bank), is “currency wars”. Previously this phrase had been reserved for the supposed currency disagreements between the USA administration and Chinese officials. The accusation, that the Chinese were manipulating their currency to the detriment of world trade and in particular the dollar’s purchasing power, was an accusation (arguably misplaced) that was re-produced throughout most mainstream media channels for the majority of 2010-2011. Extending the war analogy further ‘friendly fire’ is now incoming from the least likely source..

There is no “currency warfare”, the attraction of the Swiss franc and their banking system for the wealthy has existed for decades. Once central governments and banks adopted zirp policy, combined with injections of huge liquidity into the global financial system, it was inevitable that the Swiss would ‘suffer’ currency flight and wealth flight… read the full article

[color=#006400]The market giveth and the market take away[/color]

Since the Swiss national bank ‘took out’ a series of trading pairs with their determination to in effect ‘peg’ the franc, the CHF pairs have been virtually untradeable. Even from a potential position trade perspective many currency investors and speculators have been left scratching their heads as to where we go next…

You’d struggle to find bigger currency news this year than the shift in policy that the SNB announced on Tuesday, however, they may have been trumped with the news that China is considering a shift in policy. Chinese officials have informed European Union business executives that the yuan will achieve “full convertibility” by 2015 the EU Chamber of Commerce in China President Davide Cucino said.

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden might need to remind himself of the phrase “be careful what you wish for”, China has amassed record foreign-exchange reserves of $3.2 trillion by selling yuan to curb its appreciation and €1.5 trillion is USA treasury debt. Biden apparently asked (told) his counterpart Xi Jinping during his state visit on August 18th that China must address its undervalued exchange rate whilst removing import barriers to spur trade and investment. However, a fully ‘floated’ convertible currency would arguably test the dollar’s ultimate reserve status far more than the Euro has. The yuan advanced 0.12 percent to 6.3863 per dollar in Shanghai, according to China Foreign Exchange Trade System. The currency has gained 6.4 percent in the past year and touched a 17 year high of 6.3705 on Aug. 30. Its 0.9 percent advance in August was the biggest in 2011… Read the full article

You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you’ll never fool the markets all of the time


Can someone “do the math” as President Obama urged Congress? How do you re create the ten million jobs lost in the USA since 2007 with $447 billion of dollars? How do you pull these rabbits out of hats whilst keeping the debt ceiling under the radar, (which may be breached on Monday), the deficit reduced without taxing the ultra wealthy (many of whom sat in Congress last night air clapping) until the pips squeak? How do you justify the fact that the USA has already been through two rounds of punishing asset purchase schemes (quantitative easing) and huge bailouts that have so far left the USA economy completely hollowed out and at the point where no new jobs have been created in August, this in an economy that needs to create 250,000 a month to stand still? Finally, was a slight of hand conducted last night; will this jobs act be the next QE, or will it be QE 3.5 after the next round of asset purchase creates zilch, other than breathing space for the banking and political elite?

Moving aside the choreography and poise of the neuro linguistic programming, the Obama jobs act speech was everything many had expected, high on tub thumping rhetoric low on detail. The noble statement that armed service personnel should not have to “fight for jobs” once they return with post traumatic stress disorder from “fighting for their country” won applause. However, those who’ve spent two years in the unemployment queues in the USA may see things differently; ” hey man, at least you’ve been getting paid for the past two years on our illegal crusades, get to the back of the queue, we’re all out of sympathy in Hooverville..”… Read the full story
