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.

This is the GRT

Monday trading showed Dow stocks plunging 1,089 points in minutes at the opening before rebounding sharply, then closing down 588 points – the single largest intraday point move in one of the most volatile trading days in stock market history, the most volatile ever for Nasdaq stocks.

The Dow fluctuated in a 7% trading range – an unprecedented 9% for Nasdaq stocks. Volatility was so extre

The Economic Collapse

21 August 2015

We witnessed something truly historic happen on Friday.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 530 points, and that followed a 358 point crash on Thursday.  When you add those two days together, the total two day stock market crash that we just witnessed comes to a grand total of 888 points, which is larger than any one

Economic Collapse News · 12 August 2015

Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro Pacific Capital and bestselling author of “Crash Proof,” believes the impending collapse of the United States dollar should be getting the attention of investors and news outlets and not the devaluation of the Chinese yuan.

Speaking in an interview with Newsmax TV on Tuesday, Schiff expla

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

The recent Public Banking conference held in Philadelphia offered a message that is at once so simple - but also so bold - it is hard for most Americans to pause long enough to understand how profoundly their thinking had been corralled by the masters of finance - in ways far, far, far more insidious and powerful than even the latest financial crisis sugges

Overthrow the Speculators

"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.

1. Perception of Risk

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

If you don’t want your smartphone to know more about you than you do, here are top choices, as detailed on gizmodo.com:

If you are overseas somewhere and want to access your Facebook page…don’t be surprised if you can’t do this. 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

Zeus is no longer a god of malware; he’s been taken down by law enforcement agencies spanning six European nations. Five people were recently arrested—believed to have infected tens of thousands of computers across the globe. There have been 60 total arrests pertaining to this cybergang.

They also used malware called SpyEye, and that, along with Zeus, stole money from major banks. This was a clever operation that included ever-changing Trojans, and mule networks.

A one-day session with a variety of interpretations is the spinning top.

This is a session with a relatively small real body of either color, showing up about mid-range in the session, and with both upper and lower shadows longer than the real body.

The signal can occur at the top or bottom of a trend, or even in the middle. It can also mean reversal or continuation. This depends on what other signals are found at the same approximate point in the chart. Reversal is most likely when it shows up at

When it comes to chart analysis, unusually large and small ranges have a lot of meaning. Measuring the distance between opening and closing price tells you a lot when trends develop or begin to lose momentum. Some specific patterns are excellent gauges of when reversal in the trend is likely to occur.

            First a few terms: The “real body” is the range between opening and closing price, shown as a rectangle in the candlestick, which is either white (prices moved up) or black (prices move

Our society runs on technology. We all rely on smart phones, laptops, and iPads and other tablets, all of which are linked to one another via the internet and a multiplicity of software programs. Technology is embedded in our credit cards, cars, and alarm systems. Our vendors are co-located in our work environments virtually and physically.

Increased technological capability brings increased technological vulnerability. Making technology secure is a continuous battle; some cyber threats are steal

In Japanese, "marubozu" means "with little hair." This is a reference to the expected small or non-existent upper or lower shadows on this candlestick.

The black marubozu is one variety of a long black candlestick and may have small upper and lower shadows. However, these will be quite small compared to the non-marubozu long black candlestick, which may have much longer upper or lower shadows. The appearance of the black marubozu is bearish because, like all black sessions, it opens at the top[ a
