The Fed’s been carrying on with its wayward monetary policy. And it's carried on with the carry trade by keeping short-term rates low.
In deciding to make hardly any changes to its interest rate policy or even the language from its last statement, the Fed is encouraging traders to resume the ...

First, let’s check out the chart below from ...

Good news everyone! The end of the world has been postponed indefinitely. You may now carry on as if another credit bubble is blowing (which it is, in China).
It was a truly bullish way to wrap up the week. China reported a 7.9% rise second in quarter GDP, driven mostly ...

Some Fridays are better than others. This last one was not pretty. Like a character that refuses to die in a bad horror movie, the U.S. job market posted some shocking June numbers. It has revived the dormant nightmare that this may be a long "L" shaped recession. Or even ...

Hey here's a question to start your Wednesday off with. If Bernie Madoff gets 150 years in prison for running a Ponzi scheme, what do you think the people who designed Social Security and the Superannuation scheme ought to get?
And speaking of colossally stupid government programs, you may have seen ...
