Why Europe must end in tears  (6)
Italy, like Greece and other Southern European countries suffer from an inability to collect taxes from Stockbrokers, Bankers and Economists. Hardly the fault of the EU.

 John Rubino - Dollar Collapse
NIRP Is Absolutely Crushing Big Parts Of The Finance World  (1)
OK so lets do some simple sums .... interest rate return from the Bank ... 0.5%, meanwhile inflation at -1.5% (see price of oil by example) with a net gain of 2%. On the other hand interest rate return from the bank at 5% while inflation lies at (say) 7% net gain of -2% ....

... I know which scenario I would prefer

This is Why I Don’t Short Anything Anymore
When a share goes pop ie is worth zero .... you have the money because you have borrowed and sold .. while the lender has the shares worth zero ..... so .... buy back your shares for zero .. and sell them onto the lender for zero ....

This is Why I Don’t Short Anything Anymore
... and the bank are often lending shares from an unsuspecting owner .... short sellers do not provide a 'floor' ... that is rubbish .. a short seller wants the price of a share to go to zero .. so if by 'floor' you mean zero .. then I would agree .. but otherwise you are as I said talking rubbish.

That said, I do not have a problem with one person betting the price of a commodity/share going up, whil...

The Real Refugee Problem - And How To Solve It  (12)
Can't say I disagree with this .. but the US has remained remarkably quiet on a problem it helped to create ... nothing to do with the hope that oil prices will rise from the conflict to save the US fracking industry?

 Warren Bevan - Precious Metals Stock Review
Charts Say Metals Still Have Further To Fall
"If I want to be right about something, the stock market is not the place to play that game." - then one might assume that this article was intended to be not right or wrong - can see that a follow through of an argument's consequence eludes this author since with the quotes perspective .. there was little point in writing the article.
