Will Pensions Follow Harvard's Mea Culpa?

Good morning, worker drones: This Week in Mayhem

On Blogging Brawls and Bragging Rights

A couple of days ago Yves Smith of Naked Capitalism posted a comment, Who Is Tyler Durden? The post generated over 187 comments (and still counting), most of which were infantile swipes from morons claiming that one blog is better than the other one. I got carried away too and used language that I shouldn't have, but after sleeping on it, I want to offer you some of my thoughts on these blogging brawls and bragging rights.

Are We There Yet? Is the Range-Bound Market Over?

For the next dozen years or so, the U.S. stock market will be a wild roller-coaster ride—setting all-time highs and multi-year lows in the process. While the twists and turns of this ride are still to be written by history, the long-term, sideways “range-bound” trajectory has already been set by the eighteen-year bull market that ended in 2000.

Goldman Sachs & Baidu - The Untold Story

Baidu goldman sachs Goldman Sachs Much has been said about Goldman Sachs by articles like the one Mr. Matt Taibbi wrote and published by Rolling Stone on July 2, 2009 - “Inside the Great American Bubble Machine”. But most have not heard about Goldman Sachs involvement in the initial public offering (IPO) of Baidu (BIDU) and the subsequent BIDU share price movements back in 2005 and 2006.

Far-fetched scenario: a stronger, post-apocalypse Russia?

Inflation or deflation, the Chinese will lose most of the value of their USD-denominated holdings, and the USD will lose the confidence of the rest of the world. What then? A scenario, probably far-fetched, that points to a stronger Russia over the next half century.
