The encroachment of self-help kiosks and grocery store scanners has led doomsayers to suggest automation threatens the workforce of the future. A new report argues it will create new business sectors and new jobs as well.

By studying large companies in various industries, from Delta Airlines Inc. to Whole Foods Market Inc., as well as many startups, analysts have forecast that automation

Sharmini Peries: The Dow Jones trading took a deep drive this week, dropping over 1,000 points in the first 20 minutes of trading. It is now slowly reversing itself, but it was the greatest loss in trading since the 2010 crash. Here to discuss all of this, we’re joined by Michael Hudson.

Wall Street’s mantra is that markets move randomly and reflect the collective wisdom of investors. The truth is quite opposite. The government’s visible hand and insiders control markets and manipulate them up or down for profit – all of them, including stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies.

The “Chinese dragon” of the last two decades may be faltering but it is still hailed by many as an economic miracle.

Far from a great advance for Chinese workers, however, it is the direct result of a consolidation of power in the hands of a small clique of powerful families, families that have actively collaborated with Western financial oligarchs.

Wall Street on Parade

Markets received a seismic jolt from China on Tuesday as it devalued its currency, the Yuan, by the most in two decades, cutting its daily reference rate by 1.9 percent. The move sparked instant selloffs in stocks, commodities, and emerging market currencies as well as a drop in the yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note, which is

"Speculation in the 17th century was a crime. Speculators were hanged."

(Originally published in Common Dreams, December 30, 2013)

Money, as Karl Marx lamented, plays the largest part in determining the course of history. Once speculators are able to concentrate wealth into their hands they have, throughout history, emasculated government, turned the press into lap dogs and courtiers, corrupted the courts and hollowed out public

Perception of risk in investment decisions is an emerging topic in behavioral finance discussions. Inspired by recent Chinese financial market turbulence, I will briefly present here main points of the risk perception issue, mainly picked up from much more descriptive Victor Ricciardi's article (Ricciardi, 2010) [1], which I found suitable for a blog form.

Perception is how we become conscious about the world and ourselves in the world. Perception is also fundamental to unde

During a Department of Defense News briefing in 2002, Donald Rumsfeld encouraged his team to consider their blind spots when making decisions.

To simplify Rumsfeld’s categorizations of knowledge, if a person is able to ask themselves a question, and then answer it, that’s a “known known.” Alternatively, if they can ask the question, but don’t have the answer, they’ve identified a “known unknown.”

The problems risk managers face is the third possibility posed by Rumsfeld. How do you structure your

The trader’s dilemma: Even when you see a strong reversal pattern on a chart, how do you know it’s the real thing? The answer is that any indicator needs to be independently confirmed. This is where East (candlesticks) meets West (traditional technical analysis).

One of the favorite reversal signals used by day traders and swing traders is the volume spike. This applies especially on sessions with an unusually small trading range, the so-called narrow range day (NRD). So an NRD with heavy volume

Some five to ten years ago, a Project Controls colleague asked an interesting question. It is about the analysis/reports that our PC Group completes periodically. Some of the reports are “as required” but most times on a fixed cycle; e.g. bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually.

He asked us, “What are the attributes of a good variance analysis?”

Reflecting on the questions, all which matter most, came pouring forth. While writing the bulleted central piece of what a good analysis/report is like

In fact, you won’t even be able to get onto the Facebook site (or YouTube, for that matter), depending on what country that you are visiting. This is because some countries limit website access for their citizens.

You can get around this with a VPN (virtual private network) or proxy server. However, they are not one and the same. Let’s look at the features of each.

Last week, a "mistake" by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) caused "millions of gallons of pollutants" to overpower the Animas River in Colorado. The EPA, responsible for maintaining and protecting the environment, in fact did just the opposite.

The 3 million gallons of wastewater has the potential to cause health risks for humans and animals alike, as well as lead to the closing of wells. Spreading more than 100 miles thus far, one has to wonder, how did this oversight unfold? The EPA be
