What we are reading and watching...

Will Karzai step down to take up head of mining... Rupert Murdoch seems to think so.

Dealer inventories in the bond markets are shrinking, pushing up prices. Is this a result of monetary policy.


The Euro short trade may be getting crowded....

..... Ditto for the QE3 trade

The effects of high food prices may creep into inflation at a faster rate.... look to Brazil

Despite the growing anxiety towards global growth, the Aussie dollar has been rising

In addition, labor conditions in China remain fairly tight

Miles driven by U.S. drivers increased in May, but trend still is down

The downside of Chinese debt deleveraging

Interesting concept, having stage fright is selfish.

I have over ten years of experience in the investment industry and characterize my investment style as having a leaning towards value.
