Top Hedge Fund Manager on Global Equity Trends and Blown-Up Markets

"Dr. Conrad certainly participated successfully in his era, and his hedge fund uses the latest diversified strategies and instruments around the world to achieve further success today. He's even purchasing farmland and is expanding his commodity positions generally because he believes US equity markets are going to underperform considerably in the next decade. In today's hyper-regulated environment, the kinds of non-regulated, private, diversified strategies that Dr. Conrad employs stand as testimony to diversifying broadly over assets and instruments. Rockier times are surely coming, though not before a 'Wall Street Party' that may elevate equity positions considerably." Continue reading →

Tell President Obama to Support Warrants for Email Spying

"The IRS, FBI, DEA, and even local law enforcement can access your stored emails, private social media messages, and cloud documents, without a warrant. Bills to reform ECPA have gained huge support in recent months from both parties in Congress. But... A power grab by the Securities and Exchange Commission is now blocking this legislation. They want a special carve-out so regulatory agencies can continue to access your documents without a warrant. This would neuter ECPA reform. The SEC did NOTHING to stop Bernie Madoff, even when they had legally acquired evidence. Shouldn't they first demonstrate more ability to use legal evidence before asking for illegal sources?"

World powers react to the Bitcoin boom

"World powers have scrambled in recent weeks to react to the rise of Bitcoin, a decentralised digital currency created in 2009. China banned its banks from providing related services and products on Thursday. Meanwhile, on Thursday the French central bank warned against using Bitcoin, because of its volatility and lack of regulation. However, Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in its first research report on the currency that it had the potential to become a major means of payment for ecommerce and a serious competitor to traditional payment methods."

Your Trip on My Time Machine

"How fast and how far could interest rates rise? How soon would they impact other sectors of the economy? How can you profit from this powerful megatrend? On a quest for the answers, I invite you to a voyage through time: We will visit five critical — and incredible — periods of the past. We will return for a reality check of the even more incredible present-day reality. And then, we will take a quick trip into the future to see, first hand, a scenario that we believe is absolutely unavoidable. Our first stop is over a half century ago." Continue reading →

Why 2014 Will Be Even Worse Than 2013 for Bond Investors

"I’ve given many big-picture reasons: debt and deficits, foreign dumping of bonds, and domestic selling of bond funds and ETFs. Another key reason that’s increasingly coming into focus is this: The economy is on the mend. This does not mean our longer-term economic problems have all gone away. But as I have stressed, it does mean crisis-era interest rates and QE policy have absolutely, positively no justification whatsoever. So if there is any surprise that could rock the bond market in 2014, it’s that the economy is even better than Wall Street expects. That would validate my forecast that the tapering of QE will happen earlier than expected, and so will short-term interest-rate hikes." Continue reading →

Taxes: Another Weapon of Globalist Destruction?

"In France, there has been a great deal of pushback to additional – punitive – taxation. But that was merely the opening shot in a war against the upper classes that will soon take aim at the real target: Western middle classes. But in the era of central banking, taxes are increasingly unnecessary. Their aggressive expansion is thus something of a dominant social theme. There is almost nothing taxes provide that cannot be done better at less cost by the private sector. And as we pointed out above, as there is no way to control government spending, governments can and will spend all the revenue they receive, up to and including the entire gross national product."

‘I can’t look at myself in the mirror’: Hendry reveals he has turned bullish

"Eclectica hedge fund manager Hugh Hendry has said he has been forced to leave his bearish outlook behind as he faces up to a market 'which only makes sense through the prism of trends'. Hendry said he is no longer fighting the 'two-way feedback loop' which is continuing to boost risk assets. That centres on the currency war being played out between the US and China, in which US QE prompts dollar-denominated investment to head to China, and China fights the resulting upwards pressure on its currency by manufacturing an investment boom - leading to falling US inflation expectations, which in turn prompts the Federal Reserve to loosen policy once again."

Bankers Balking at Bitcoin in U.S. as Real-World Obstacles Mount

"'Banks are scared to deal with Bitcoin companies, even if they really want to,' said Stephen Pair, co-founder and chief technical officer of BitPay Inc., an Atlanta-based company that processes payments for merchants in Bitcoin. Pair said BitPay has relationships with banks in the U.S., Canada and Europe; he declined to name them at the banks’ request. Because of regulatory pressure in the U.S., much of the exchange business has moved to Britain, Japan and China, Jered Kenna, founder of Tradehill, the Bitcoin exchange that lost its bank, said in an interview. LightSpeed Venture Partners announced on Nov. 18 that it would invest $5 million in BTC China." Continue reading →

Bitcoin: China’s New Special Economic Zone

"With the People’s Bank of China’s announcement, the establishment of Bitcoin as yet another one of these areas – the first ever that only exists in cyberspace, has essentially become official. The announcement specifically forbade the existing Chinese banking system from interacting with the Bitcoin economy, but otherwise created an environment for the Bitcoin economy that some have described as even more free than that of Europe. Although exchanges are required to follow know-your-customer guidelines and register with telecommunications authorities, aside from this they do not need any kind of financial license in order to operate. The Bitcoin economy will be allowed to grow." Continue reading →
