Dow Fails At 20,000 & Payrolls Data: More Of The Same
The Dow trying to hit 20,000 is like Shaquille O’Neal attempting free throws. Shaq was a great basketball player, but he wasn’t a great free throw shooter. The market is strong either way, but this milestone keeps failing to be reached.
Bitcoin Falls Over 20%
The bright side of bitcoin being tied to the Chinese yuan is it is expected to further depreciate.
Inflation Rises To 1.7% In Germany
German inflation rose to 1.7% and European inflation increased to 1.1% in December.
Bitcoin Approaches New Record High
The parabolic momentum has cascaded the Bitcoin price to near its record high. The current price is $1,103 and the all-time high was $1,242 set on November 29th, 2013. At one point today it was up about 18% year to date.
Hope Springs Eternal (Optimism In The Markets)
There are many ways to show the market is overly optimistic.
New Monte Dei Paschi Information Trickles In
I had stated more information would come out about the Monte Dei Paschi bail-out solution over the next 2-3 months, but, to my surprise, information has slowly trickled out about the details of the plans for the bank.
Italian Bank / Russian Diplomacy
Monte Dei Paschi failed to raise 5 billion euros in the private market to prevent the need for a bail-out by the Italian government.
Real Estate Bubble?
Another way to look at the real estate bubble is that high prices have made housing less affordable, so rising interest rates can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Interest rates have risen one percentage point since bottoming in July.
Facebook Becoming Censorbook?
Is Facebook going to have to fact-check the entire internet?
India's Cash Ban
A 2% transaction tax would drive Indians outside the banking system which would counteract the goal to get them in the banking system with the cash ban.
Monte Dei Paschi Needs More Money
Monte Dei Paschi is going to need more money than expected which only complicates the matter because Italy is having a tough time convincing the ECB to allow it to bail the bank out.
Monte Dei Paschi Is The Key To Europe
If you thought the Monte Dei Paschi story was over, you underestimated the situation. It is only getting started. The results of how this plays out will have wide ranging ramifications for other troubled banks in the future.
Poor Data: Weak Economy?
The Dow has fallen two days in a row for the first time since the election as negative data was able to temporarily stop the Dow from reaching the much heralded 20,000 level.
Monte Dei Paschi The Zombie
The day the zombie bank Monte Dei Paschi is rescued is finally upon us. The bank tried to raise 5 billion Euros through the private market but failed. The bondholders’ debt for equity swap only netted the bank 2.45 billion Euros.
Should You Sell Stocks Now?
The level of bullishness in the market doesn’t represent reality. It has made sense to be bearish this year, but logic doesn’t matter when your contrarian portfolio has had a bad year.
Italian Bank Update
Italy is coming closer to the inevitable government bailout of the world’s oldest bank Monte Dei Paschi. The situation was always bound to happen at some point, but the actual nationalization process could start in the next few days.
