Gold King as Currencies Debased

February 10, 2012 By Young Research

Yesterday the Bank of England announced another round of quantitative easing, this time spending $79.1 billion on government bonds.

Who’s Custodian for Your Money?

February 7, 2012 By E.J. Smith

You can see the hubris. As the bankruptcy of MF Global unfolds, customers are still looking for their money. That money should have been segregated and not part of the bets the firm was making with its own money. So far, $1.2 billion in client funds is missing. Where did it go? From Vanity Fair’s “Jon Corzine’s Riskiest Business”: That’s what U.S. congressmen mainly wanted to know when Corzine testified before the House Agriculture Committee on December 8.

Employment Picture Brightens: Is it Bullish for Stocks?

February 3, 2012 By Jeremy Jones, CFA

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the monthly jobs report this morning. The headline numbers blew away expectations. Non-farm payroll employment increased by 243,000 in January compared to estimates of 140,000. The unemployment rate came in at 8.3%, 0.2% better than expectations.
