This sad season was opened by the biggest New York's <a href=";, biggest financial institution in the world, <a href=" USB</a>, <a href=" of America</a> , German <a href=" Bank</a>, American <a href=";, Italian <a href="; and so on. Whit looses from same root they got company on credit markets from giants of Wall Street: <a href=" Lynch</a>, the biggest global trader with securities, <a href=" Stearns</a> and <a href=" Stanley</a>. What matters with that list is only one of the problems in great looses that almost sinked<br />mostly all contemporary states, because only Citigroup and Merrill Lynch<br />together lost more than 18 milliards of $. Actually we should say that for now they lost , because by opinion of analytics completely clear, that the looses because of different exotic securities will climb on also in future. Those securities papers no one wants to buy,and in same time everyone wants to sell them. The same size of problem is also that also the names as UBS, the biggest Swiss bank, which looses are around 3.5 milliard of dollar. It is a bank that was till now known as on of best valuer of risk on credit markets. And if because of bad value of risk also of bank with such reputation are drowning in loses it is hard to predict, what all will economy have to face and in continuing of crisis on credit markets securities of rich countries.<br />Problem is that three months after beginning of crises it is not possible to be exact on where all will be the crisis and who all will become victims "financial weapon for mass destruction" as those papers were called by second richest man in states. The fact is that big banks produced those papers, and namely so that they would lover the risk, that is escorting that kind of crediting. Whit sells of securities, they base on paying off of home loans and other loans, we tought that the risk will remove from back of banks, that will spread over market and will become buyer duty. Limited loses clearly shows that risk around fall of in matter of American family homes loans fall anyway on banks, from where in most of times they also come from. All hard work , to find out where are also hiding such and different risks, are now similar to shape of cube, that street minglers are offering you to find out under which is hiding the rock, marble or something else.<br />Big question, that is staying without answer for now is what consequences will have continue of this crisis for real economy.<br />State finance functionaries, mostly those that have in mind control over financial markets, are saying that they evacuated the crisis and that there is no danger to threat the real economy, but fact is that we have to understand those statements with loots of mental ratio. Evan if those statements are coming from mouth of most respectable places or respectable individuals. There must be something wrong, and we also check that, because also one of most reputable and legend Allan Greenspan, ex executive of Central Bank in similar predictions was right one of six times. And they are showing his successor Ben Bernanke as flower maker , because he is showing the critical situation in American homes market <span style="font-weight: bold;"></span> or on credit markets in pink colors, meanwhile the truth is completely different. All this and other functionaries are not being payed to awake additional fear, but to in any situation lower the panics. That is why we need to look for reliable values somewhere else.<br />And the data about parts if finance sectors in economy are predicting, that strikes , that those institutions are suffering from, wont be able to live none consequences on real economy. Banks and other financial institutions have almost one third in total profit, that is created by American corporations. And that is much more than in 1950 (8% only) and in 1990(20%). All consequences off course isn't possible to predict , but fact is that the economy newer in history was not so incurred debts (so depend on loans) and that in whole home sector newer been so occupied with incurred debts as now. Ruin of gain in finance sector can not just pass by, like nothing newer happened.<br />Optimists are warning on state statistics which showed, that appearing crisis , that started in August did not affect economy in whole. Statistics says that in American economy in third three month period in 2007 had fastened the moving and it got growth, that comes (calculated for whole year) 3.9%. It is rarely that this kind of information got such amount of anger and distrust, as it happened at this time.<br />For rel it would be extremely unusual if all critics would be wrong. Now it is no more doubt that all kind of basics are more expensive. Oil price is just little under historical record, that it got in times of Iranian revolution in year of 1979, that reached a price for barrel $45 transfered to now days value of dollar $101 for barrel. That is fact for almost all kind of goods as raw materials, food and metals. It seems like ex front man of <a href=" Billiton</a> was right that moving of those prices are result of now days factors, which could easily compared to industrial revolution or economical renewal after second world war. Today factor are China, that has in this point of view and in this moment part like in those times had been played by two mentioned events. Also on this field exists something that shows as rule: ex head leader of that company had analyzed moving since 1812 till now days and found out- as in his times Russian economist Nicolay Kondratiev- that the prices of basic products will start to grow and continue growing for next 25 years.<br />From all this we can conclude with what kind of problems are now days leaders of important money printing offices confronting, especially Americans. Big crises on credit market is threating economy; which became so dependent from loans as are junkies addicted to heroine.<br />That is why we would like to make it easier for patient with additional softening of monetary politics. Going higher with oil prices and other important goods is threating that in case of softening financial politics will make mad the inflation.<br />Problems become additionaly complicated with fall of price of special metal. This new appearance dissident is in this case copper. Dissident is very dangerous , and there are reasons for that, for that it must be reason that this metal on stock market is called Economy Doctor. Copper got this title because of its ability to predict future of economy. And if copper is predicting overturn of economy down, oil and other good predict higher inflation, that makes double trouble that in last seventies got glamorous name stagflation.2007/11/printing-office-in-trouble.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (arnetee perpetuum)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755571510817016422.post-9003149903100416847Thu, 15 Nov 2007 10:56:00 +00002007-11-15T04:23:20.972-08:00oilThey are killing dollar, aren't they?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133041631821124466" border="0" /></a><br />Also milliards are frequently falling of famous list of 400 most rich Americans, which is every year prepared by leading economy magazine <a href=";. If you wanted to be on that list in year 2007 you have to be heavy at least 1.3 milliard dollars, which is 300 millions dollars more than last year 2006.<br />Some people see on this list, and they are almost right, one of the marks, that in our era exists , as it was possible to claim for last decades in 19 century, very comfortable ground to grow numbers of extremely rich individuals. As it is mark in meaning that is opposite with production in economy, the meaning of dealing with finance is much more important now, we have 45 newcomers which are now on list, and they all come from tops of finance founds.<br />the valuers have off course the total right to look and overcome to that kind and similar conclusions, but what is interesting, that till now nobody asked, what is going on with dollar in which all that wealth is presented.<br />Evan if that question is not of such importance for that subject, as list of Forbes magazine , it is even more interesting that many of those important questions are discussed , as the dollar would be money, which has constantly equal value. In September of 2007, for example, the economy magazine Barrons published prediction of one of most prestigious strategist in business with oil, who claims that the price of "black gold" will from $80 for barrel fall to half the price, to around $45. Mike Rothman, former oil strategist of Merrill Lynch bank, who is now owner of investigation company, he is famous on Wall Street not only because of such opposite views , but also on facts that most of the times he was right, when his predictions were in opposite of public opinion. Now he claims that the position with oil pretty much the same as back in seventies. From 1999 the price of oil grow on same steps , which were walked through in mentioned decade, so the price from record $45 in first years of eighties dropped, so in middle of eighties the price was less than half of the mentioned record price.<br />The prediction is for most of us pretty common and welcome, but in prediction is missing the second important part of the story: What was in those times going on with money that is product of oil? After, beginning of seventies, the last connection between gold and dollar failed<br />the dollar in full power went to sail, which most of us considered more like sinking or diving. Obviously oil masters didn't became greedy in moment, as sometimes their behavior was explained and subscribed. What happened, it simply wasn't productive to give oil in same amount of money of which value was sliding down. So what happened, there was an offensive of plantar resources against collapse of money.<br />That is how suddenly became clear, how the trend of falling dollar and nominal more expensive oil ended. It was the big move in American monetary politics <span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><span id="stavek0"><span id="alt_stavka0_0" class="navadenStavek"></span></span><a href="javascript:window.parent.izberi_besedo2(0, 0)" onmouseover="window.status='Marks a word in the source text and offers alternative translations of the word and sentence';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" name="beseda0" id="beseda0"><span id="alt_besede0_0" class="navadnaBeseda"></span></a> in passage from seventies to eighties, it was blackmailed with what seemed as final brake down of American money, when the price of gold in year 1979 raised on price of $850 per ounce. Which was also the mark of end of that moving. But not immediately, because the gain on dollar investments were kicking heads of in their positive turn (the state of us was paying 16% of interest to creditors<br />), so the global capital started to turn in dollar financial possession and was moving from material and other kind of owning. Dollar in those times became much stronger in relation to other kind of money (in spring of 1985 it was possible with one dollar to buy 3.5 german mark), consequence was that price of goods in dollar was falling and also price of oil. Not very rich countries, which were also so called socialist countries, payed enormous price for that turnabout. As Dutch economist Angus Maddison claims, was that price much bigger than rich countries were paying in big depression of thirties.<br />To discus about close history it makes sense only if there are any chances for such optimistic predictions, as it is point of earlier mentioned of oil fortuneteller, meaning that the price of that fuel will son fall on half.<br />It is hard to imagine bigger differences, as were in times of turnabout in dollar politics started sos action of american money, which was also the combat with rising price of oil, and now our time, present we took care with turnaround of monetary politics to grow of Stock exchange and killing of dollar.Probably nobody doubts that dollar had to pay for newest conclusion of american central bank, that they will lower rates for another half pro cent, so that will make investments in american dollar even more unattractive.

In both worlds, real risk means real money is made or lost in a heart beat, and neither camp is always rational with the risk it takes. As a result, business and financial professionals who want to use poker insights to improve their job performance will find this entertaining book a "must read." So will poker players searching for an edge in applying the insights of risk-takers on Wall Street.<br />After the fact, I realized another common denominator to most of those books. The author had spent a long career in finance, in other cases, a lifetime in poker. Many financial books are written by people with no professional experience in the field, others by people who worked at entry-level jobs for a few years. You don't have to love finance to be qualified to write about it, but it's important that some finance lovers communicate their ideas, for balance if not for expertise. Similarly, many poker books are written by people with only casual interest in the game (the ones above are notable exceptions). Some of these authors are card players or gamblers, some are mathematicians, some are good writers, some have no qualifications at all. Most of the serious players who do write books are full-time professional tournament players, and for the most part I think they do a poor job of communicating the nature of the game. They may teach you how to play, but seldom why.<br />Another book you have to read:<br />Take an interactive journey that will introduce you to some of the world's most talented and successful investors.

As he expanded into duds for men, women and kids and moved into perfume, luxury housewares and other items in 60 lines spanning thousands of products, the Bronx-bred designer answered to no one.His genius was to sell image, not products, and the image was redolent of English landed gentry. That gave him and his Polo brand a certain consistency in an American market that was usually a slave to trendiness and the flavor of the moment. </p> <p>Then Lauren took on a not-so-silent partner:Wall Street.

At the center of the United States economy is Wall Street. Almost every larg e company in the US and around the world is traded on a Stock Exchange; from McDonalds to Lockheed Martin. </p><p> To learn more about how the stock market can earn money, and even keep the economy healthy, we have to look at how it works.

The fact is, even if you have no money in the stock market, or ar e in school, the stock market does affect you. It affects everything you do, from going to the mall, to buying that new outfit you have always wanted.

It is recommended that you read the topics sequentially, but it is not required. If you already know about a topic you may want to skip over it. After all, learning s hould be fun. So jump right in and select a topic.<br />Right now, the New York Stock Exchange has billions of dollars changing hands every day, with thousands of companies being traded, and millions of people being affected. If we trace the roots of the New York Stock Exchange to its beginning, we would find that it started out as dirt path in front of Trinity Church in East Manhattan 200 years ago. At that time, there was no paper money changing hands, or even the idea of stocks. Rather, they traded silver for papers saying they owned shares in cargo, that was coming in on ships every day. The trade flourished.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053929157269209650" border="0" /></a><br /><br />During the American Revolution, the Colonial Government needed money to fund its wartime operations. One way they did this was by selling bonds. Bonds are pieces of paper a person buys for a set price, knowing that after a certain period of time, they can exchange their bonds for a profit. Along with bonds, the first of the nation's banks started to sell parts or shares of their own companies to people in order to raise money. In essence they sold off part of the company to whomever wanted to buy it, which is the essence of the modern day stock market.<br /><br />NYSEWall Street was becoming a major center of these transactions, and in 1792 twenty-four men signed an agreement that started the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). They agreed to sell shares or parts of companies between themselves and charge people commissions, or fees, to buy and sell for them. They found a home at 40 Wall Street in New York City. As they grew they later moved into what is currently the New York Stock Exchange Building.<br /><br />ASEThe 1900s brought the Industrial Revolution, and along with it, a boom in Wall Street. Everybody wanted a piece of the action, and Wall Street grew. The New York Stock Exchange was not the only way to buy stocks at that time. Many stocks that were deemed not good enough for the NYSE, were traded outside on the curbs. This so called "curb trading," has now become the American Stock Exchange (AMEX).<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053929367722607170" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Today, the New York and the American Stock Exchanges, have been joined by the NASDAQ, and hundreds of local and international Stock Exchanges, that all play a part in the national and global economy.<br />ned by the NASDAQ, and hundreds of local and international Stock Exchanges, that all play a part in the national and global economy.2007/04/brief-overlook-of-what-is-wall-street.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (arnetee perpetuum)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755571510817016422.post-7325376510621973660Mon, 09 A
