THE YOUNG, DEBT, AND GDP

($100 billion down $40 trillion left to go! Hey, dont hold us to those gures. But yesterday European sages cut another deal to stave off the truth. Instead of defaulting openly and honestly as Greece has done over and over again ever since 1827 the Greeks will be rescued. Sayeth Lucas Papademos, the technocrat leading Greece through its vale of deceit: Its no exaggeration to say that today is a historic day for the Greek economy. Hes right. Its no exaggeration. Its an outright lie!. Read more here

Dalam keadaan dunia mengalami krisis ekonomi, semua orang sedang melihat apakah yang sedang dilakukan oleh pemimpin-pemimpin dunia untuk membaiki keadaan. Dengan masalah yang menimpa-nimpa berlaku di Eropah, dan Amerika yang juga sedang bergelut dengan masalah mereka sendiri, apakah alternatif jalan keluar yang paling bagus? China ada jawapannya. Setelah 3 dekad (semenjak tahun 1978 - Reformasi China) China mengalami tumbesaran ekonomi yang drastik dan tidak hairanlah sekiranya jumlah eksport melebihi jumlah importnya.

Greatest Trade Ever!

When famed hedge-fund manager John Paulson speaks, people listen. And it's no wonder. Paulson made his way into the nancial history books thanks to what many now call the "greatest trade ever". Paulson & Co. shorted the subprime mortgage market before the collapse banking a $15 billion gain. So when Paulson went big again by buying gold in 2009 and 2010, investors took notice. At the time he said, "As an investor, I became very concerned about having my assets denominated in U.S. dollars," Paulson told his audience.

In fact, Paulson's holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD) make his rm the biggest stakeholder in this ETF, with a position currently valued at $2.9 billion. So that begs the question.... Is Paulson still a gold bull? In a recent letter to investors he wrote, "By the time ination becomes evident, gold will probably have moved, which implies that now is the time to build a position in gold." And he's not alone. Recent lings showed that another legendary hedge-fund investor, George Soros, has nearly doubled his stake in GLD to 85,450 shares. But "Bond King" Bill Gross's latest words and actions may well be the most signicant of all. Read more here

The move would help the country regain some of the lost business to Hong Kong which does not impose duties on the bullioin.
