Financial LINKS – Tra dubbi e incertezze

Ho dimenticato gli occhiali per leggere, scusate gli errori…:
Chi detiene i media:

http://economicsfreenews.blogspot.com/2010/10/who-owns-media-6-monolithic.html

Back in 1983, approximately 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the United States. Today, ownership of the news media has been concentrated in the hands of just six incredibly powerful media corporations. These corporate behemoths control most of what we watch, hear and read every single day. They own television networks, cable channels, movie studios, newspapers, magazines, publishing houses, music labels and even many of our favorite websites. Sadly, most Americans don’t even stop to think about who is feeding them the endless hours of news and entertainment that they constantly ingest. Most Americans don’t really seem to care about who owns the media. But they should. The truth is that each of us is deeply influenced by the messages that are constantly being pounded into our heads by the mainstream media. The average American watches 153 hours of television a month. In fact, most Americans begin to feel physically uncomfortable if they go too long without watching or listening to something. Sadly, most Americans have become absolutely addicted to news and entertainment and the ownership of all that news and entertainment that we crave is being concentrated in fewer and fewer hands each year

Here are some questions you might ask if you want to thoroughly understand what has been repeated on TV and in the print media during the last couple of days that is absolutely false and purposely designed to make you feel bullish.

Why is anyone claiming September gained more than any other September since 1939, especially since that claim is not only technically false and very misleading, but constitutes disinformation when they learn the actual facts?

Problemi in Finlandia?

http://economicsfreenews.blogspot.com/2010/10/bubble-trouble-in-finland.html

According to an intriguing article I read in Bloomberg recently an alert signal has been sounded due to the fact that house prices in the Scandinavian countries have been rising very rapidly of late. Judging by what they explain what is now going on in the housing markets of Norway, Sweden and Finland would seem to have all the hallmarks of a “mini-bubble”, one which is all the more perplexing given the lowish level of economic activity which characterises the current environment. But then I asked myself, and those whopping German export numbers we saw in the second quarter, weren’t they also some kind of “mini bubble” which was quite out of keeping with what we should expect to be seeing

Quanto spazio ancora per l’oro?

http://financenewsoftheworldbis.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-much-further-for-gold.html

You’ve read the news, Gold at $1320 this week and the analysts are beating each other over their heads as to where the next gold target might be. We heard everything from $1,500 to $5,000 within a few years. All that accompanied with the ongoing debate as to whether we will see continued deflation, inflation or possibly hyper-inflation. So what’s it going to be then?

The short answer is: “It depends”. Let’s forget about semantics for a minute however, and look at the general cost of living and the cost of running a business. There are a myriad of factors influencing the overall cost of running your life or your business. The best assessment of a sort of felt-inflation is a comparison of the overall cost of living with your income. In that sense, on a macro level, the majority of consumers have experienced a significant rise in the cost of living, felt-inflation if you will…

Bell’analisi sulla convergenza dei vari tipi di investimento… non molto incoraggiante:

Inquiring minds are reviewing a chart of Total Loans and Leases and also a chart of Quarterly Real Final Sales of Domestic Product for clues about the strength of the alleged recovery.
After a review of the charts, my friend “BC” shares some of his thoughts regarding the converging Long-Wave, Fixed Investment, Inventory, and Demographic Cycles. The possibilities are not pretty.

Nell’oro noi ci affidiamo… la Fed non puo’ stamparlo… bella parafrasi…:
Non ci vedo piu’…. a dopo

Gold is particularly attractive since the Fed has cut interest rates essentially to zero. Gold is more attractive than money in the bank. You don’t earn interest on either gold or cash, so by holding gold today you’re not giving up interest. Read More…

io me la son letta quasi tutti l’analisi della sec in merito al flash cresh. lo colpa è stata attribuita ad una semi sconosciuta società texana… per avr venduto 75000 e mini in protezione del suo portafoglio. la vendita è stata gestita attraverso un algoritmo che avrebbe dovuto vendere al massimo un numero di contratti proporzionale al 9% dei volumi registrati nel minuto precedente, dai quali l’algo sottrae quelli da esso stesso generati. questo per evitare sbilanciamenti e manipolazione. l’operazione quindi dura dai pochi minuti alle ore, in maniera direttamente correlabile ai volumi avuti durante gli scambi. questo secondo la SEC sarebbe l’orgine del crollo. poi non importa che la vendita sia iniziata alle 14:32, mentre il crollo sia avvenuto 10 minuti dopo, non importa che nessuno sapesse il numero di contratti che questa società stava per vendere ( quindi perchè vendere di conseguenza, se nessuno lo sapeva ) non importa se il prezzo di 256 ( mi pare ) azioni dello s&P è stato scavalvato rispetto all’nbbo dal nasdaq e dal bats ( che nel frattempo avevano invocato una regola che permetteva loro di farlo, visto che il nyse era latente di 21 secondi e il dj non riuscivano neanche più a caolcolarlo ) senza tuttavia bloccare i flussi di vendita che sul nyse i loro amici delle dark pool stavano scaricando proprio perchè esso era in latenza e non riusciva ad aggiornare i prezzi via via decrescenti delle azioni, non importa che durante la fase peggiore del crollo meno del 5% dei volumi fossero imputabili a questa società che ha quasi distrutto il mondo, non importa che la maggior parte delle vendite di questa società sia poi avvenuta durante la fase di risalita, non importa che il CME abbia dichiarato tramite press release che tutto quello che la sec ha scritto è sbagliato, l’importante è che il colpevole sia quello sbagliato, e che tutti possano tornare a fare le loro solite sporche cose!
