5 Large-Caps Flirting With 52-Week Highs
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - The S&P 500 is down more than 6% for the year but certain stocks are continuing to rally to fresh highs despite the selling pressure. Once a stock peaks to new 52-week highs, it comes under increased attention. This can be either positive or negative for the stock depending on the situation. The following stocks recently hit 52-week highs, showing strength in an overall weak market.
The majority of the stocks discussed here belong to the food and beverage sector, a classic defensive bet that does better in an economic downturn. In addition, three from this sector, Starbucks (SBUX - Get Report), McDonald's (MCD - Get Report) and Yum! Brands (YUM - Get Report) are expanding operations and gaining traction in the emerging markets.
The last stock to consider here is from the energy sector, Plains All American Pipeline (PAA - Get Report). With oil prices reaching close to $100 per barrel, PAA is worth a second look.
Based on average estimates of analysts polled by Bloomberg, these five stocks have potential upsides ranging from 5% to 12%. Of analysts covering the stock, an average of 69% recommend a buy. The stocks are listed in ascending order of upside potential.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Secrets From the Past
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentI found this book very disappointing. There was really no point to the whole thing. I kept waiting for something and after almost 200 pages, a wee bit of a plot, but really not much of one. I will not waste my time reading this author again.
almost done.............if u think this is okay or good try bella fortune its rlly good
I have been a fan of BTB, however this is a very disappointing book from this author. Its pretty boring and drags on for nothing. Her last few books have been a let down. Will think twice before picking up one of her books again
I have always been in awe of Barbara Taylor Bradford and her writing. However the last two books were disappointing.
In both books, ''Letter from a Stranger'' and ''Secrets from the Past'', I found that I was nearly finished the book before any secrets were revealed. Both were very uneventful reads. Not really intriging. Sorry.

There are numerous who are hoping to share the cake and consequently there has been a frequent improvement in the quantity of modern applications.
Ever given that Apple released iPhone applications have been continuously becoming designed and produced as manifeste-helpful as possible. The curiosity has achieved a crescendo and enhanced manifold with the start of much more and much more apps in unique domains and interests.
iPhone 4S is mentioned to be a moderate upgrade more than iPhone four since it does not boast of a revamp. The iPhone 4S has a predictably quick dual-core A5 processor with 1 GB RAM, supporting gaming and a enormous raise in graphics www.bestiphoneappsugus.com speed. Also it features of all around eight hours of chat time around 3G which is excellent in alone. The 8 MP camera is the significant distinction to the iPhone 4 since it has a lot of features and functions like a regular position-and-shoot camera.
Most of the applications are amusement applications currently and the next location is taken by utilities. But as analysts say, company apps which are now the very first option of most professionals and company guys are sure to edge out the enjoyment apps. In addition, the trick is to selling price the organization applications properly and also create marketing approaches like promotional premiums to produce interest and at the same time, profits.
There are a lot of corporations who do not like market so they are packaged with cost-free apps so that they supply a teaser to the real app. But below developers will need to be mindful of the present preferences as nicely as the demands of the current market. The most effective apps are the most basic types but particularly addictive and nicely-marketed. The applications can be offered additional than after and the ball sets rolling following the very first sale!
Most firms favor mobile apps tailor produced to their wants and these which can be marketed nicely. There are applications which promote corporations and make wonderful earnings through immediate revenue. Currently there have been a lot of requests for tunes applications. One intriguing reality is that the most prosperous applications in the iOS platform are promptly picked up by the Android platform although there are some applications and characteristics which are inspired by Android. The most recent Siri and the apps bordering voice control have also registered a wonderful offer of curiosity in iPhone lovers.

Objective: In some countries, such as Germany, there has been a move towards the treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease in specialised inpatient units. However, data on patient outcome and the daily costs of antiparkinsonian drugs in these settings are rare. This study was conducted to determine the effect of an inpatient setting (a specialised Parkinson's disease clinic) on drug therapy costs and patient symptoms.
Patients and Methods: This study involved 63 consecutively referred inpatients of a Parkinson's disease clinic. On entry to the clinic, the patients' antiparkinsonian drug regimen was titrated in order to improve their motor function. The daily costs of drug therapy per patient (in 2002 values) were calculated, and the severity of Parkinson's disease symptoms scored via scores on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and standardised instrumental procedures (peg insertion and tapping), both initially and at the end of the patients' stay in the clinic. The variables between the two evaluation timepoints were compared.
Results: The titration of antiparkinsonian drugs was associated with a significant decrease in the symptoms of Parkinson's disease at discharge from the clinic compared with admission (as measured by UPDRS total and subscale scores [all p < 0.001], and, to a lesser extent, by peg insertion and tapping [both p < 0.05]). A significant increase in daily drug costs (an increase of €14.11 per patient for all drugs and €12.36 per patient for antiparkinsonian drugs [both p <0.001]) was also observed.
Conclusion: The results demonstrate that the symptoms experienced by patients with Parkinson's disease improve after performance of antiparkinsonian drug titration within the setting of a specialised Parkinson's disease clinic. The effect on symptoms was seen most clearly with the UPDRS, although both peg insertion and tapping reflected this improvement to a certain extent. Drug titration resulted in, on average, a doubling of daily drug costs. Future trials are needed to investigate the long-term effects of such a hospital stay on indirect costs associated with treating Parkinson's disease, and on caregiver burden, and also to compare the efficacy of a Parkinson's disease clinic with an outpatient setting.

The couple met on the set of movie thriller Case 39 in 2006 but have largely kept the details of their relationship quiet.
But when Cooper filmed an appearance on Inside The Actors Studio, he couldn't resist name-checking his partner.
Host James Lipton mentioned that an "enchanting and gifted actress" was in the crowd, prompting The Hangover star to point at the blonde and say "Renee Zellweger".
The actress, who was sat next to Cooper's mother Gloria, stood up and waved as the audience applauded.

Hey everyone. I just moved down to Norwalk about 2 years ago. I
monitor clinical drug trials, which more or less means I sit in an
office patiently between trips to various places to check up on how
drug studies are coming along. I enjoy playing various recess based
games (i.e. kickball, ultimate frisbee, wiffle ball), hanging out
at the beach, or wandering around a museum, zoo, or aquarium. The
main reason I moved to Norwalk was to cut down on my commute. I

Oil Spikes on Israel, Gaza: Market Bits
TheStreet) -- Crude oil prices continued to receive support from unrest in the Middle East and North Africa regions.
West Texas Intermediate crude oil for May delivery rose 1.9% to $105.02 a barrel.
Oil price support was provided as allied military action against pro-Gaddafi forces in Libya continued -- though the fighting is expected to subside over the coming days -- and amid the exchange of fire between Israel and Gaza. The support came as the Japanese government approved the release of an additional 22 days worth of oil reserves to aid areas of the country damaged by the tsunami and earthquake.
Oil and gas stocks were trading in mixed territory, with Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A - Get Report) up 1.1%, Petrobras Argentina (PZE - Get Report) down 0.8% and Marathon Oil (MRO - Get Report) down 1.4%. Total S.A. (TOT - Get Report) was rising 0.1%.
Hess (HES - Get Report) was falling 0.2%, while Murphy Oil (MUR - Get Report) was flat at $71.21. Exxon (XOM - Get Report) fell 0.3%.Grain prices ended the session lower amid technical profit-taking on a lack of fresh fundamental data. MaxYield Cooperative Karl Setzer, CTA Grain Solutions Team Leader said the action began last night and carried over into Tuesday's trading session. Corn for May delivery fell 0.3% to $6.84 1/2 a bushel as China denied purchasing U.S. corn. "Maps were released this morning that call for an abnormally cool spring across much of the Western Corn Belt," Setzer noted. "In all reality, this may actually be a benefit. The slower we see temperatures rise this spring, the lower the possibility of flooding ... soybeans being pressured today by thoughts we may see an increase to acres of that oilseed if we have delays to corn planting. " Soybeans for May delivery fell 0.07% to $13.62 a bushel.
Cotton prices rebounded Tuesday on forecasts of heavy rain in Australia, settling up 7 cents -- the exchange-imposed limit on daily trading.

Can a cats eat bananas safely?
I don't like bananas much, but if I get one out to eat, Bud and Gray will probably want to try it. Just wondering if it'll harm them?
My current thinking is its fine for them, but I'm not sure.

All three of my cats are absolutely disgusted by bananas. It's so funny ... when I eat a banana I hold it near a cat's nose for him to smell and he jerks his head away and scrunches up his eyes ... like he's saying, "Eeeeeyoooooo!!!! Stinky, stinky, STINKY!!!!!"
So, honestly, I have no idea if it's safe for them to eat |

I used to have a cat that would eat Watermelon, grapes and cantaloupe. I was a kid back then but the kitty would try to climb my mom whenever she prepared a fruit salad. It was funny to see my mom walking around the kitchen with a cat stuck on her dress. In any case the kitty never had any trouble from consuming fruits she had a long life but she also ate her balanced cat food, required proteins and water, my mom only used fruits as treats. It is strange but that cat would eat a whole cantaloupe if given the chance. Pretty strange.
Why is it that some cats like fruit so much? I know they can't taste sweets |

Splashing the face of a pretty and seductive woman with your week-old reservoir of semen is one of life's little pleasures. It's celebrated in style at Eurobabe Facials, the newest site from Puffy Network's growing legion of Euro-hardcore delights. Although a small site and online for less than a year, Eurobabe Facials already sports some truly exciting blowjob, fucking, and face-pasting adventures - mostly shot from "your" POV - that'll have you aching for a sweet smile to cover with your own seed.
He might not be hung like Lex Steele (or even James Deen), nor is his name as celebrated as Manuel Ferrara or Jonni Darkko, but Kevin Moore has been shooting some of the most original, entertaining, and intensely erotic ass-focused porn in recent memory. His Panty Pops DVD series is collected here on the site of the same name and celebrates the curves and crevices of the rear ends of porn's most astoundingly sexy women. Sure, they're wearing underwear for the duration of the scene, but it's put to great use and even acts as a receptacle for Moore's spooge come blowin' time. For an ass lover's celebration of booties clad only in the skimpiest of panties, thongs, and g-strings, it's gotta be Panty Pops!
If you love a women wearing pantyhose about as much as you love a woman sucking you off, there's a good chance Pantyhose Pops will convince you that life is worth living, at least for another month. With POV-shot scenes that see a sexy slut all dolled up in the finest hosiery money can buy. She'll then attempt to seduce you with the promise of fellatio. Sometimes, though, she'll lean back and let "you" pound her for a while before accepting a hefty (sometimes inhumanly so) load of semen all over her stockings. Sign up, hose-lovers, have fun, stay safe, and, for Pete's sake, don't agree to wash any soiled stockings!
You found yourself a girl who looks like she could suck Grand Central Terminal through a donut hole and you've got both her will and yours; so what's next? Well, if only you'd managed a career as a casting director (albeit a rather lecherous one) you could be shooting your very own private porn stash similar to Back Room Facials but with a touch more pizazz and personality. Hell, throw that smut online and you could very well pose a genuine threat to Back Room Facials, which is a fun site, yes, but one with little originality, promise or (dare I say it) gravitas.
What's black and white and naked? The women of Ebony Cum Dumps. Roped into shooting a blowjob scene that they gag, spit, choke, and sometimes even puke their way through, the African American beauties taking the starring roles at this Ghetto Doorway site might look nice and clean when the scene starts, but they'll soon have red, watery eyes, saliva all over, and loads of man-juice oozing from their mouths. This is interracial fellatio porn at its finest, ladies and germs. Get it while it's hot.
What's even more taboo than getting a sloppy handjob from a fully-clothed woman who calls herself your step-mom? Beating your meat to just such a porno scenario while fantasizing about any number of women you're really not supposed to be thinking about. Taboo Tug Jobs is a site that clearly believes in familial support of a rarely discussed type and presents its members with sizzling roleplay scenarios that see step-mothers, step-daughters, and step-sisters (and their friends) indulge in some handiwork that the rest of the family need not know anything about. Part of the acclaimed Fetish Network, Taboo Tub Jobs is arguably the filthiest handjob site known to man!
What turns people to a career in the pornographic arts? The money? The attention? The Fleshlight endorsement possibilities? When it comes to the amateur harlot Alanna Thomas and her friends, it's nymphomania that has spurred their homemade hardcore creations and led to the opening of the new-ish ten-site Nymphos Network. Simply put, the women featured here might look like everyday housewives, aunts, office workers, and schoolmarms, but they're hiding some deep, dark, utterly depraved secrets: anal pounding, double-penetrations, bukkake parties, black cock obsession, cunt-lapping lesbianism, and even some masked anonymous gangbanging, too! Nymphos Network does have a few problems, sure, but it's also a fascinating look into the everyday sexual underworld of the good ol' USA.
It seems that some women, usually those who embrace their inner whorishness, adore and crave the attention of many, many men. Well, I suppose it's not always the men themselves, rather their cocks and what comes out of them. We're talking jizz whores here and Jizz Whore Party is an online home to many, many women fitting this description. See them suck! See them fuck! See them lose track of who they're sucking and fucking! See them get covered with enough creamy ejaculate to sink a kayak!

Sangeeta Mall in her debut novel Flight of The Flamingo brings to the fore the stories of modern Indian women
Sangeeta Mall changed lanes from being an entrepreneur to being a writer. The stories she tells are inspired from the lives of modern Indian women, who are making a mark in their professional and personal lives.
Her debut novel Flight of The Flamingo , (Westland, Rs. 295) is the first story of the Beyond Pink series that "celebrates stories of modern Indian women," of which Sangeeta is the curator.
Flight of The Flamingo, which was launched recently at Landmark, tells the story of Preeta Dhingra, an editor at Pradhan Publishers, whose job includes editing superficial romantic fiction. It is when Preeta wishes she gets a more challenging project that a submission lands on her desk; a project that will change her life forever. She fights against all odds to publish the stories of famous women, who break their silence on domestic abuse and infidelity.
"The novel is a reflection of the lives of modern Indian women. The stories being told in entertainment are all about how a woman's only job is to snatch a man. Television features repressed women from patriarchal families. There are so many stories waiting to be written about real, empowered women in urban India. Women want to go beyond the usual narratives. I want to bring to fore the stories of confident, empowered women, who get to decide and choose," says Sangeeta, who has done her Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Pittsburgh.
The idea of what it means to be a "successful woman" in urban India forms the sub-text of the book. Sonia Vaswani, one of the characters in the book, on whom most of the narrative hinges, Sangeeta says, is dealing with the notion of success.
"She doesn't want to hide behind her public persona. She says she is a real woman. If you look around, you will see women about whom you don't know much. Women always feel they need to be more than professional, almost clinical in their image. Even if a whiff of their real image is seen, it will compromise their success."
Sangeeta's life is an inspiration too. She always wanted to be a writer despite running a successful business of her own. "I decided to do a creative writing course. In a woman's life there is no such thing as a sabbatical. Women take time out to raise children, but they don't get time to pursue a hobby. Most women are stuck in that sort of image. But in my case, I express gratitude to my husband; he supported me in my decision to pursue this course. I didn't want to look back with regret that I could have been a writer," says the Mumbai-based author.
Sangeeta speaks of other Indian women achievers. "I have done chat shows with women who are regular professionals, but have done something that makes them stand out. Anita Dongre comes from a family where women don't work. She lived true to her conviction of wanting to be a designer and she's been so successful. I also spoke with Gauri Shinde, a successful filmmaker."

Marqise Lee = Dez Bryant
without the issues but just 2 inches shorter at 6'0.
Lost in the shuffle of USC's loss to Arizona this weekend was perhaps the greatest receiving performance in CFB history. 16 receptions 345 yards 2 TDs. PROS: -Run after catch ability is off the charts. Might not be a 4.3 guy, but his football speed and acceleration in the first two steps are what make him special. -Jumpball and leaping ability is well above average. Made NCAAs in track and field in the long jump. CONS: -Can have suspect hands at times. Drops easy passes in between making great catches. -Height isn't ideal at 6'0 but has a long limbs that can still add more weight to an already compact frame. In summary, while Robert Woods has received high praise, there's a reason why Lane Kiffin thinks Lee could be the best USC receiver of all time. |
If you do a comparison between Dez and anybody you have to mention off the field trouble. Lee is clean.
Also, Lee reminds me more of a shorter T.O. than Dez Bryant in terms of ability. Lee is so strong after the catch, and he throws corners regularly. "-Jumpball and leaping ability is well above average." -This is an understatement. Lee's best ability is jumping on the run and adjusting to the ball like a basketball player and keep running. |
Also, comparing Lee to T.O. essentially amounts to the same thing as comparing him to Dez Bryant, as Bryant was compared to T.O. coming out. All three have similar playing styles. And yes, I agree that I shouldn't have been as conservative about the jumpball comment. But I actually think his best attribute is really RAC. He's the closest thing that USC has had to Reggie Bush lately when the ball is in his hands. Elusive, yet fluid acceleration is the only way I can describe his running style. |
I wonder if the Sammy Watkins/Marqise Lee combo in 2014 will end up being better than the AJ Green/Julio Jones combo of 2011.
In regards to the OP, it's hard to get a good comparison on Lee. Not many top WR prospects are only 6'0" tall and I don't think we've seen one that short go top 5 in like forever - but he certainly should be the next (same with Watkins, who is only 6'1"). |
Marqise Lee = Marqise Lee
Comparisons between players suck cause there are always differences. |
Marquise is a helluva player, extremely physical and when he gets the ball in his hands there are few players who are as dynamic. You wanna get out of your seat everytime he gets his hand on it. He is only 6'0" which isnt typical of big time receiving prospects but teams will be drooling over him come draft time next year.
Will be interesting to see how he does next season with a new QB under center. |
Marqise Lee = Jeremy Maclin? Part of me really wants to throw out a Michael Crabtree comparison.
I get tickled when people call receivers around 6', 6'1 "average" height. Let's not forget the 6'3, 6'4 230 pound receivers are exceptions to the rule, true anomalies. |
Lee seems to be pretty awesome, but I don't know about the Dez Bryant comparison. Maybe a rich man's Chris Chambers? |
It tickles me more when people take "average" with a negative connotation, or to mean BAD. |
I like the Maclin comp more than Bryant.
What's the story with Farmer? He barely plays and he was supposedly the best pro prospect of those 3 WR's coming out of Serra HS.
How can you compare Marqise Lee to Dez Bryant????????? Marqise Lee is almost 30 pounds lighter than him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you wanna compare him to anyone in the NFL right now thats playing at a high level I think you would have to say Victor Cruz or maybe Antonio Bryant. Dez Bryant is a completely different type of player. C'mon MANNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My bad Antonio Brown. But Antonio Bryant was a beast too. LOL
Lee plays big for his size. You also need to consider the fact that he has the frame to pack on more muscle. And he will. |
Not a fan of the Cruz comparison. Antonio brown is a good comparison though, smaller WR who runs good routes. He is way too small to be considered to be like Dez.

The MQM Knowledgebase
Dr. Imran Farooq
We refer to the article titled "Pakistan: Imran Farooq murder linked to rows within MQM party" published on your website since 26 September and a shorter version of the article published in your newspaper on 27 September titled "Politician's murder linked to party rows". We write to register our profound dismay that the Guardian chose to publish such baseless allegations against our party, the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM).
The allegation that the murder of Dr Imran Farooq was somehow linked to "rows within the MQM" is entirely false. It is of note that it is attributed only to "sources" without giving any indication of who those sources might be or whether they have any political axe to grind. There were no internal divisions in the MQM which might have led to his murder. Dr Imran Farooq was the founder member of the MQM and remained the party convener of its central co-ordination committee until his last breath. He was a highly respected member of the party and remained on good terms with senior officials of the MQM. At a time when we are still grieving about his tragic murder and when a police investigation is under way, these allegations have caused significant hurt and distress to millions of MQM workers and supporters.

This item may be Check for Availability Bug: Deaf Identity and Internal Revolution
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"What you have in your hands is a bomb. But it is the kind you need to hold on to for dear life, not run away from." —From the Foreword, John Lee Clark Christopher Jon Heuer lost his hearing early, but not before "being able to hear a lot as a kid." He also received a good education, both in a speech-oriented setting and a signing environment. These varied experiences provided him with the perfect background to write about biases he faced, not only those of a mostly oblivious hearing society, but also those of ideologically restrictive members of the Deaf community. BUG: Deaf Identity and Internal Revolution combines new work of Heuer's with his best columns from The Tactile Mind Weekly and the National Association of the Deaf's Mind Over Matter. He addresses all topics – exit interviews, baldness, faith healing, marriage, cats, Christmas trips, backyard campfires in boxer shorts – with a withering wit that spares no aspect of life and deafness. Being "bugged" for Heuer began early: "When I was growing up, my mother's response to every problem I had was: 'Well, he just needs to adjust to his deafness.' Bloody nose? 'Chris, you need to adjust to your deafness.' Homework not done? 'I know it's hard adjusting to your deafness, honey, but ....' Acne scarring? 'Lots of teenagers get zits, Chris. I know it's hard for you, dealing with this while trying to adjust to your ....'" He rebelled then, and continues through his even-handed irreverence in BUG, a bomb that should go off in everyone's consciousness about being deaf and Deaf. Review:"A lot of things bug Heuer, not least the insensitivity of the hearing and the narrow-mindedness of many in the deaf-or is it Deaf-community. The small 'd'/capital 'D' question is not a small matter; Heuer uses them to differentiate between those who have a hearing impairment and people who define themselves as part of a deaf culture with its own language (American Sign) and traditions. Heuer was born with impaired hearing but suffered continuing hearing loss throughout his childhood, becoming almost entirely deaf early on. An English teacher at Gaullaudet, a Washington, D.C. university for the deaf, Heuer proves an intriguing, dynamic guide: though he learned to speak as a young child, he now chooses to sign; though he identifies strongly with the Deaf Pride movement, he deplores its insularity. Collecting 116 opinion pieces-most from The Tactile Mind Weekly, some from the National Association of the Blind website, a few new-Heuer proves angry, lively and convincing whether discussing the complacency of the Deaf toward illiteracy in their ranks, or the failure of hearing parents to learn Sign when their hearing impaired children are young. Despite his serious intent, Heuer is always entertaining, and his insights into discrimination and 'the soft prejudice' have a powerful reach." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Book News Annotation:Heuer (applied literacy, Gallaudet U.) takes on the shifting boundaries caused by small slides as well as earthquakes between hearing, deaf and Deaf culture, including the reasons for bias, disdain and assumed superiority. In vignettes that come from ground-level real life rather than from on high his commentary is hilarious as well as wise. His material on passing from one culture to another constantly is based primarily on his personal experiences and observations but he relates to all readers, whether or not they consider themselves ordinary. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Synopsis:A contributor to "The Tactile Mind Weekly" and the National Association of the Deafs "Mind Over Matter" writes about the biases he has faced in both the hearing and deaf communities, and addresses such topics as Christmas trips and marriage with a withering wit.

Pop-punk singer Pink was originally director Penelope Spheeris' first choice to play the late rocker, but pulled out, blaming the movie's producers for turning the casting process into "some circus pop contest--who's the 'it' girl who wants to play Janis."
However, Almost Famous beauty Deschanel, 26, has signed to play Joplin in The Gospel According to Janis, which starts filming in Philadelphia in November.
"Piece of My Heart" hitmaker Joplin died of a heroin and alcohol overdose in a Hollywood hotel room in October 1970 at the age of 27.

S&P Upgrades US Outlook From Negative To Stable On "Receding Fiscal Risks"
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/10/2013 08:05 -0500In a confirmation that the S&P is starting to get worried about the drones surrounding the McGraw Hill building resulting from the ongoing litigation with Eric Holder's Department of Injustice, not to mention a reminder that US downgrades always happen after hours, while upgrades must hit before the market opens, Standard & Poors just upgraded the Standard & Poors 500 the US outlook from Negative to Stable. On what "receding fiscal risks" did the S&P raise its assessment of the US - the fact that the US is now at its debt limit, that there is no imminent resolution to the credit issue, or the 105% and rising debt/GDP - read on to find out. And of course, the countdown until the S&P wristslap settlement with the DOJ is announced begins now, as does the upgrade watch by Buffett's controlled Moody's of the US to AAAA++++.

It's amazing what people can trick themselves into believing and even shout about when you tell them exactly what they want to hear. It was disappointing to see Brad DeLong's latest defense of Fed policy, which was published this past weekend and trumpeted far and wide by like-minded bloggers. If you take DeLong's word for it, you would think that the only policy risk that concerns hedge fund managers is a return to full employment. He suggests that these managers criticize existing policy only because they've made bad bets that are losing money, while they naively expect the Fed's "political masters" to bail them out. Well, every one of these claims is blatantly false. DeLong's story is irresponsible and arrogant, really. And since he flouts the truth in his worst articles and ignores half the picture in much of the rest, we'll take a stab here at a more balanced summary of the pros and cons of the Fed's current policies. We'll try to capture the discussion that's occurring within the investment community that DeLong ridicules. Firstly, the benefits of existing policies are well understood. Monetary stimulus has certainly contributed to the meager growth of recent years. And jobs that are preserved in the near-term have helped to mitigate the rise in long-term unemployment, which can weigh on the economy for years to come. These are the primary benefits of monetary stimulus, and we don't recall any hedge fund managers disputing them. But the ultimate success or failure of today's policies won't be determined by these benefits alone – there are many delayed effects and unintended consequences. Here are seven long-term risks that aren't mentioned in DeLong's article...

The Price Of Copper And 11 Other Recession Indicators That Are Flashing Red
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/08/2013 15:47 -0500There are a dozen significant economic indicators that are warning that the U.S. economy is heading into a recession. The Dow may have soared past the 15,000 mark, but the economic fundamentals are telling an entirely different story. If historical patterns hold up, the economy is heading for a very rocky stretch. But most average Americans are not that concerned with the performance of the stock market. They just want to be able to go to work, pay the bills and provide for their families. During the last recession, millions of Americans lost their jobs and millions of Americans lost their homes. If we have another major recession, that will happen again. Sadly, it appears that another major recession is quickly approaching. The following are 12 recession indicators that are flashing red...

Guest Post: Debunking The Keynesian Policy Framework: The Myth Of The Magic Pendulum
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/07/2013 18:13 -0500The policy approach that no one dares to question - "In the long-term, we need to fix our public finances. We're on an unsustainable path that needs to be corrected to protect younger and future generations. But in the short-term, we need to focus on growth. The economy stinks and people are suffering. Any attempt to lower debt in these conditions would be folly. On the contrary, the government needs to provide more stimulus to promote growth" has no support to its key premise in business cycle history, the idea that the economy will return to full employment and stick there, allowing ample time for debt reduction. Once stimulus is removed, expansions often struggle to continue for much longer. And if the stimulus is replaced with restraint, it seems logical that the expansion's expected life shortens further. In other words, there is no Magic Pendulum. What's the typical life of an unassisted expansion? Based on the data presented here, I'll call it two years.

Guest Post: The Myth Of U.S. Energy Independence
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/02/2013 20:52 -0500
There is no hope whatsoever of so-called U.S. "energy indepedence" unless three things happen. First, environmental rules have to be wound back to 1970 standards -- in other words, disband the EPA and make civil plaintiffs show actual harm, not just hypothetical harm because someone goofed on a sheaf of mandated paperwork. Second, stop wasting taxpayer money on nonsense like $25 per gallon biofuel. Third and most urgently, stop subsidizing Wall Street. Let the market decide what interest rates make sense, rewarding companies who can find and produce oil, instead of gorging themselves sick on artificially cheap junk bonds that money-losing shale swindlers will never pay off.

Ten Fast Facts On The Economics Of Immigration
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/02/2013 07:52 -0500While immigration was pretty far down on the priority list at this time last year, recently the topic has taken a front seat in lawmakers' chambers down in Washington. ConvergEs's Nick Colas notes that policymakers on both sides of ideological spectrum are establishing positions and recommendations for reform, and are familiarizing themselves with some of the lesser-known facts about immigration. In a nutshell, he explains: immigration is not all about border crossings from Mexico and undocumented workers. There are many more figures – and costs – associated with immigration, most of which have palpable and measurable impacts on the US economy. From GDP growth to the health of the housing market, immigration's influences may not be widely known, but should be in order for policymakers and investors to make informed decisions.

I'm beginning to believe that either the deflationists are right, or the Fed's interventions are working." While a low CPI may be puzzling in the midst of massive, global currency abuse, there are three realities about inflation that convince us it's not only coming, but will catch an unsuspecting citizenry off guard. Let's take a look at why we're convinced inflation will be one of the next big catalysts for the gold price...
