2008 GFC : Taxpayers were robbed. 2011 Europe crisis : Pensioners are robbed.

Govt using private sector money to fund public works

. Recession management used to mean creating public sector works
. To offset slowdown in the private sector.
. As far as the broad indicator of economic activity is concern, GDP
. If there is Budget surplus to draw from, fine, if not
. Government issues Govt IOUs to fund the public projects
. However now that the govt neither has Budget surplus nor can borrow some more
. Without consequences,
. It has to resort to using their "power" to "bully" Private Pension funds
. To fund the projects.
. Thus the term P.P.P
. Private public partnerships.
. Govt using private sector money to fund public works.
. So it's not the death of liquidity but re-channeling traditional and conventional
Fund flow.
. Question, Can Private Sector Funds be persuaded to fund public sector work ?
. The banks were the primary victim during 2008 GFC
. But now the Govts are in peril, the same govt that bail out the banks.
. So now the recapitalized banks come to the Govt rescue ?
. Sort of, with Other People's Money (Pension funds)
. While they earn fat fees
. Yes Please continue to Occupy Wall Street !!

ECB : To print or not to print $, Dear Angela of Germany

UK business secretary, Vince cable probably put a voice to what most people are thinking. Germany must allow ECB to print more money . Now, nobody has any money. Everybody owes everybody and cannot pay. So what to do, money is not like gold fortunately, money can be made in an instant. Solution print more money, more borrowings on top of borrowing which got them in this place in the first place. What kind of a bloody plan is that. It's called easy way out, maybe the only way. Keep peddaling or else it's financial dark ages for the European and the ashes will spew all over the world. But either way it's bad, bad bad ! 2012, end of the world may not be that far fetched after all. Hobson's Choice !! Public sector spending has already been cut, but how much more can you cut. From 1st class to business class, but damn the one that suggest coach class !!

4 Country ETFs to Escape Financial Mayhem : Singapore, Norway, Australia, Canada

. 4 Country ETFs to Escape Financial Mayhem : Singapore, Norway, Australia, Canada
. My Pick will be Canada
. Australia although relatively unscathed till now is vulnerable to another slowdown in China
And too dependent on Mining industry .
If commodities prices and demand drop amidst rising cost and 2 new taxes,
Carbon tax and MRRT, Mining is going to be hit hard.
. Singapore is a drop in the world map, relatively ignoring size UT has done well.
But it is like a dinghy in the swelling waves of the ocean.
. Norway, maybe good but it's in a region of Economic Quicksand.
. Leaving Canada, neighbor to the largest economy in the world but financially strong and stable.

. So my pick is Canada !

Should US weakened the US$ ? Instead of punishing others that do.

. Nobody wants an expensive currency in today's globalized world
. It means your foreign Buyers of your hime products & services becomes more undesirable
. And costly
. So rather have more supply of money risking inflation than have expensive money.
. These all comes at a costs.
. It means selling your own currency. Print more and sell more
. Or buy more of somebody else.
. Both spells trouble.
. Safe haven currency like Swiss and Yen are basically targeted vs US$
. Swiss and Japanese govt have intervened.
. So should US intervened as well.
. They could if they can....but it probably makes matter worst.
