Jim Rogers:New Greece Deal Can't Save Europe

Investing legend Jim Rogers said that although the latest Eurozone deal for Greece is more generous than he expected, it's not enough to solve Europe's problems.

"Politicians have delayed addressing the problem yet again," Rogers told Investment Week. "It will come back in a few weeks or a few months and the world will still have the same problem, but this time only worse because the European Central Bank and other countries will be deeper in debt."

The deal European leaders hammered out on Thursday includes boosting the region's rescue fund to $1.4 trillion (1 trillion euros) and asking bondholders to take a voluntary 50% haircut on Greek debt.

Rogers said while the deal isn't enough to fix the issues, the haircut was more than he expected. The writedown on Greek holdings means $3.7 billion in debt-insurance contracts won't be triggered.

"Never in a million years did I expect them to impose a haircut of 50 percent; this shows at least somebody is starting to accept reality," said Rogers.

Rogers said haircuts are a necessary step in fixing Europe's plaguing debt crisis, and more should be implemented.

"Greece is bankrupt, but others are too, and these haircuts will have to come back and be wider," said Rogers.

But until more stringent and widespread action is taken to alleviate not just Europe's debt but that in the United States, the crisis will continue.

"Most European countries are increasing their debt rather than decreasing their debt," Rogers said. "Until that changes, the problems are going to continue, just as they will in the U.S."

Inside Story - Buying tTme in the Eurozone

Will the deal reached by European leaders ease the continent's woes or is it just an attempt to buy more time? Inside Story discusses with guests: Raoul Ruparel, Thomas Klau and Yohen Moebaert.

Eurozone Strikes Debt Deal

European leaders have reached an agreement on the debt crisis sweeping across many countries of the continent in an emergency summit held in Brussels.

But there are many questions on how the debt deal will be implemented, which calls for capitalisation of banks, write-off by private bond-holders of Greek debt and leverage of European rescue fund to $1.4 trillion.

There are lots of details which Europe's leaders have not yet addressed like how the banks will raise all the extra money, and will the rescue fund really work?

No Cash? We Swap! Greeks' Creative Crisis Solution

After a night of tough negotiations European leaders clinched a deal on Thursday, agreeing to have banks take bigger losses on Greece's debts. The plan includes a significant reduction of Greece's debts and a reinforcement of a bailout fund so it can serve as a 1 trillion euros ($1.39 trillion).

The move is aimed to prevent larger economies like Italy and Spain from being dragged into the crisis. And whether the EU anti-crisis plan is effective or not, for the austerity-hit Greek people any help appears to be a long way off. Many are finding new ways to survive in hard times

Max Keiser: Debt Slash - A Debt Hike, Collapse Guaranteed!

How US Economy Got Messed Up

Linda is the proprietor of a bar in Cork. In order to increase sales, she decides to allow her loyal customers - most of whom are unemployed alcoholics - to drink now but pay later. 

She keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger [thereby granting the customers loans]. Word gets around and as a result increasing numbers of customers flood into Linda's bar. 

Taking advantage of her customers' freedom from immediate payment constraints, Linda increases her prices for wine and beer, the most-consumed beverages. Her sales volume increases massively. A young and dynamic customer service consultant at the local bank recognizes these customer debts as valuable future assets and increases Linda's borrowing limit.

He sees no reason for undue concern since he has the debts of the alcoholics as collateral. 

At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert bankers transform these customer assets into DRINKBONDS, ALKBONDS and PUKEBONDS. These securities are then traded on markets worldwide. No one really understands what these abbreviations mean and how the securities are guaranteed. Nevertheless, as their prices continuously climb, the securities become top-selling items. 

One day, although the prices are still climbing, a risk manager (subsequently of course fired due to his negativity) of the bank decides that slowly the time has come to demand payment of the debts incurred by the drinkers at Linda's bar. However they cannot pay back the debts. 

Linda cannot fulfill her loan obligations and claims bankruptcy.

DRINKBOND and ALKBOND drop in price by 95 %. PUKEBOND performs better, stabilizing in price after dropping by 80%. 

The suppliers of Linda's bar, having granted her generous payment due dates and having invested in the securities are faced with a new situation. Her wine supplier claims bankruptcy, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor.

The bank is saved by the Government following dramatic round-the-clock consultations by leaders from the governing political parties (and vested interests). 

The funds required for this purpose are obtained by a tax levied on the non-drinkers.

Russia's Central Bank to Continue Buying Gold

he Russian central bank's First Deputy Chairman Alexei Ulyukayev said Thursday the bank will continue raising the share of gold in its gold and foreign exchange reserves for the foreseeable future.

October 20, 2011 MOSCOW (REUTERS)

Russia's central bank sees no need to change monetary policy or the currency regime for now, and wants to continue increasing the share of gold in its reserves, the bank's First Deputy Chairman Alexei Ulyukayev said on Thursday.

"The situation is not brilliant but there is a steady balance between inflationary risks and economic growth. That is why we do not see a need to change rates either way," Ulyukayev told the Duma, Russia' lower house of the parliament. Earlier on Thursday, Ulyukayev said the central bank would hold an interest rate meeting on Oct. 28.

Ulyukayev also said that the existing currency regulation scheme suited the central bank, which had no plans to amend it in the "foreseeable future".

"The main parameter of the exchange rate mechanism for the foreseeable future is the (rouble's) floating corridor with moving boundaries, depending on buying or selling of foreign currencies," Ulyukayev told the Duma.

The central bank keeps the rouble within a floating band versus the euro-dollar basket, in which it sells foreign currencies close to the upper boundary and buys dollars and euros, when the rouble firms towards the lower boundary. So far this month, the central bank has sold around $4 billion from its reserves to prevent the rouble from excessive weakening, after interventions of around in $10 billion in September. 

The rouble has weakened by 5.6 percent to 36.63 versus the basket since early September, touching its weakest levels since 2009 at 37.65 on Oct. 5 . "For the central bank this devaluation has resulted in minor costs of only $14 billion," Ulyukayev said. 

He also said the central bank would keep on boosting gold as a share of its reserves, the world's third-largest foreign exchange reserves totaling $517.7 billion as of Oct. 14. "We have been implementing a program of raising the share of gold in the reserves for several years ... we are acquiring huge volumes ... We are not planning to step away from this path," Ulykayev said. The central bank had 27.4 million of troy ounces of gold, or 852.2 tonnes in its reserves as of Oct. 1, up nearly 8 percent from at the start of 2011. 

Calculated on the central bank's official price for gold of $1,643.42 per ounce set on Oct. 20, the bank has $45.03 billion in gold, or 8.7 percent of its forex reserves as of Oct 14.

Too Big to Fail?

In a speech on the Floor of the House of Representatives in 1999, Congressman Dingell warns against repealing the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933.

Nonetheless, Congress repealed the law and the nation suffered the tragic consequences of the 2008 financial crisis about a decade later

BEIJING, Oct 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Economic growth cooled in the third quarter to its slowest pace in more than two years amid tightening measures, debt fears in the euro zone and a sluggish US economy.

Year-on-year GDP growth slipped to 9.1 percent in the July-to-September period from 9.5 percent in the second quarter and 9.7 percent in the first, indicating a moderate expansion, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said on Tuesday.

While G20 finance ministers will gather in Paris of France to discuss ways to get the global economy through its current instability, visiting Lord Lamont said he believed that the Europeans will come up with a package "that is the minimum that they can get away with."

"It will manage to muddle through, and in the end I believe the euro will be saved, and the sooner the better it happens, because this has been so damaging to world confidence," Lord Lamont said.

Struggling Small Enterprises in China

Official bank rescue for Wenzhou firms in works.

BEIJING, Oct. 12 (Xinhuanet) -- Authorities in east China's Zhejiang Province have sent 11 work groups to oversee a bank bailout of private firms suffering from a liquidity crunch in a coordinated move to tackle the Wenzhou debt crisis.

The move came a week after Premier Wen Jiabao visited Wenzhou and asked local authorities to stabilize the situation within a month. Hundreds of company owners in Wenzhou have fled in the first nine months of the year due to inability to pay their shark loans. 

A spokesman with the provincial government said yesterday that 25 banks in Wenzhou have pledged to increase lending to bolster private firms to weather the debt crisis, Xinhua news agency reported. By the end of September, at least 228 local company bosses had fled this year, a rise of almost 42 percent from the same period of last year, according to a research paper by the Zhejiang government.

Those runaway bosses left 75.93 million yuan in unpaid salary to 14,644 employees, the paper said.

Marc Faber To America: "Listen You Lazy Bugger..

..... Now You Have To Tighten Your Belts, You Have To Save More, Work More For Lower Salaries And Only Through That Will We Get Out of The Current Dilemma That Essentially Prevents The Economy From Growing."

Marc Faber let fly with that pointed blunt policy advice for America. Mark can't imagine how the US or Europe can continue to try and solve a Debt problem by piling on more Debt. "

The problem I have with the investment universe is that I find it difficult to envision how the US and western Europe can return to healthy sustainable growth without a complete purge of the financial system and some type of catalyst. It could be hyperinflation, a complete credit market collapse, widespread sovereign defaults, civil strife, major military confrontation.”

In other words solving our current dilemma in the USA and Europe is going to be PAINFUL. The highly regarded Boston Consulting Group points out the absurdity with facts of trying to solving a debt problem by piling on more debt:

"The fact that between household, corporate and government debt, the developed world has $20 trillion in debt over and above the sustainable threshold by the definition of "stable" debt to GDP of 180%. The facts according to which all attempts to eliminate the excess debt have failed, and for now even the Fed's relentless pursuit of inflating our way out this insurmountable debt load have been for nothing. The facts which state that the only way to resolve the massive debt load is through a global coordinated debt restructuring (which would, among other things, push all global banks into bankruptcy) which, when all is said and done, will have to be funded by the world's financial asset holders: the middle-and upper-class, which, if BCS is right, have a ~30% one-time tax on all their assets to look forward to as the great mean reversion finally arrives and the world is set back on a viable path."
