Demand Fears in a Consumer-Based Economy
Yesterday, Europe was back in the news. Whenever Europe is in the headlines, the headlines are bad. And the ideas behind the headlines are absurd. In fact, it is amazing how many crackpot ideas the press can throw at you in a single day.
The immediate problems in Europe were two:
First, it looked like Portugal was going the way of Greece. It would soon need another bailout, said the papers.
Second, the Greeks themselves, were still having trouble settling up with their creditors — despite ...

Personal income figures for November indicated that personal income rose a meager 0.1 percent. Personal spending rose slightly for the month supported in part by consumers choosing to save less.
Housing starts came in better than expected in November as unusually warm weather and possible seasonal adjustment factors helped to boost the headline number.
The final estimate of third ...

Euro steady vs dollar ahead of ECB, EU summit
The euro held steady against the U.S. dollar on Wednesday as investors held out hopes European leaders will make progress on solving the debt crisis at a key summit this week, but any further gains should be limited.

What’s Bill doing in Cyprus…?
We’ll get to that. First, what happened in the markets? On Friday, the Dow rose 267 points. Gold went up too — $23.
A big move to the upside. And why? No apparent reason. Gaddafi bit the dust, almost literally. And the Europeans seemed to be stumbling to yet another solution…in which they borrow more money to help fund the troubles created by borrowing money in the past.
