Financial Times - Portugal's Bonds Soar 7.9% - MORE Euro Troubles
Just add another country to the list of European nations that are seeking "national salvation" as 10 year bonds rose to 7.9% this past Friday, settling back to 7.27% - up 53 basis points. Again the neo-classical economists have no solutions and no plan, other than to print money and provide bail-outs. Nor do they even remotely understand that the underlying issues stem from physical economic constraints - too many people and too few resources. So the economic cancer that came to the forefront in Greece, is masticating around the continent, remember Cyprus just a few short months ago .
Here's the real problem - as Europe falls apart and bond yields move to 10% and higher in these "thinly traded markets," the fears will begin to take hold and grip the global markets as well. At the same time, the European economies are also starting to slip into one of the profoundest depressions ever to be experienced, as asset prices deflate and consumer disposal spending is over-burdened with huge increases in debt service costs. A One - Two body blow.
This could be the snowball that plunges the bond markets into a long bear-cycle. Expect the turmoil in Europe, to test the nerves of jittery bond traders in Asia and North America this week. And this could also trigger long over due downside actions in the equity markets around the world next week.
Seems like there is no where to run; no where to hide.For now.

Who will pull the trigger?
What is it about these guys? One day, Dr.Kinesa, says oil could go to $500 a barrel because the finite physical constraints are going to cause economic problems, resulting in social disruptions, political turmoil and then geo-political upheaval . What can we say? We read the same articles or fools seldom differ...

Great Minds Think Alike
A few years back a Canadian economist - Jeff Rubin boldly predicted that oil could reach $200 a barrel sending shock waves through-out the financial world. This tells us a number of things: markets have short horizons, human cognition is flawed, and most folks simply do not understand that exponential mathematics and physics impose hard non-negotiable constraints. We do!

We agree for the most part, except JIM you forgot one important aspect of mining, that is many mines are polymetallic, so they extract many other minerals including gold in their process. Should gold gravitate to zero, these mines will treat it as a by-product, and thus only assign the incremental costs associated with the ore or even possibly leave it unprocessed for a period of time. If gold is a by-product then the full weight of production costs will not be attributed.So even at $50 an ounce, some miners may still be able to produce it on a break-even cash basis because the cost assignments are arbitrary.
Anyway we are happy you enoyed our article - "Gold is a Psychotic Placebo - NOT AN INVESTMENT." And by the way, we confirm that old story about gold mines - 99% of all stock mining ventures end up being worthless. And yes, it will be very hard for these sociopaths to attract capital in the future. That's one good thing for the greater cause - our future generations!

Faber and Rogers are still building physical gold positions regardless of what is happening - the US dollar is still a powerful medium that can be exchanged for real objects. Moreover, there are strong resource-based currencies offering a greater lon-term mineral diversification. It is still just too easy to get blind-sided by an object that depends upon the bouncing emotional neurons of the collective masses who do not even know how they will think one day to the next. Too buggy for us, when there are just so many better other places to garner safety,income and growth in global purchasing power terms.

Somewhere Under A Rainbow
The Guardian - SuperFreakonomics is SuperFreakingWrong
This article brings out a number of salient points regarding the information propaganda game being played with climate change by the nefarious business press. Never, however, do Canadians forget that "the medium is the massage" - because media has the subtle profound power to define realities that don't actually exist. The list of outright lies built on misinformation with its brutal consequences are endless. Therefore, investors should, as a rule, have little faith in the objectivity of the mainstream business press that is sadly run by so many hidden agendas.
Climate change as pointed out in this article is being panned or suppressed with the passion of an addict who denies their affliction. The usual media suspects are mentioned, along with other crazies, who are promoting hair-brained schemes* to remedy irreversible damages already facing the bio-sphere. More false PROFITS!
*(Remember Get Smart? Let's Bring Down the Cone of Silence)
To invest effectively, the planet's hard physical constraints must be considered in any decisions we make. Denial or ignorance could be very costly. Is climate change that serious? The best way to answer the question is with the question: Why is, Mayor Bloomberg, spending $30 Billion on a seawall for New York City?
That's a serious - REAL Business Agenda...

Climate Change - could be bad for Business?
Reading between the lines, modern journalism has turned into a propaganda machine. The questions foremost in our minds: is for whom and why? And so, our democracies evaporate and freedoms disappear without a single vote being cast, nor a voice raised in anger nor a pitchfork held in defiance. So invisible.
In the end - IKE was Right!
