Credit Crisis Abroad: Iceland heading for bankruptcy

It may be a nice place to live, as long as you don’t mind the cold… or the dark, but Iceland could be the first country to declare bankrupcy in the credit crisis. Will the country previously said to have the “highest standard of living in the world” collapse under the weight of its own [...]

Foreign Investment: Iceland’s krona hits the skids

“Banks all over the world have spent much of the few years bingeing on cheap money, but Iceland’s taken the whole thing to quite an extreme.

U.S. Economy: Don’t trust the GDP

“Apparently, the US economy grew by 0.6% year-on-year in the first three months of 2008. It’s not great, but it’s not a recession. Meanwhile, jobs data on Friday showed that there were just 20,000 job losses in April, against expectations for a 65,000 fall. So has everything been blown out of proportion? Was the credit [...]

Fed Rate Cut: Feed the world or save the housing market

Foreign Investment: Follow the money to Russia

“Russia is a developing economy building airports, rail lines and other vital infrastructure. In contrast, the United States relies heavily on cash-strapped consumers to squeeze growth from its service-dominated economy. Without real assets and increased production from those assets, U.S. growth potential can’t compare to Russia’s.” — [...]

U.S. Market Outlook: An election year loss

"U.S. election years have, historically, seen healthy gains in the U.S. equity market. To some extent this can be put down to the market’s view that either the incumbent president or, where the president has served two terms, the ruling Party has an incentive to “buy” votes by loosening fiscal [...]
