If only the mosquito would leave, the asset managers could concentrate on the U.S. where the economy is said to be showing so much improvement and stocks are incorrectly perceived...

I've definitely developed an acute case of wishing Europe would go away already, and after this week I'm cautiously optimistic that may actually occur in an acute sense for a least a few months. The combo of the ECB announcements on Thursday with what appears to be coming out of the EU summit provides...

This week we saw a coordinated effort by central banks to use their bazookas to head off another 2008-style credit disaster. The market reacted as if the crisis is now over and we can get on to the next bull run. Yet, we will see that it wasn't enough. Something more along the lines...

Central Bank Action Not A Solution

An emergency ejection of liquidity to prevent immediate Armageddon is not even a first step toward solving Europe's deep-seated problems. It's more or less the equivalent of the proverbial doctor telling a patient to "take two aspirin and see me in the morning". It treats the symptoms, but not the disease. ...

What in the wide, wild world of monetary policy is the Fed doing, giving essentially unlimited funds to European banks? What are they seeing that we do not? And is this a precursor to even more monetary easing at this next week’s extraordinary FOMC meeting, expanded to a two-day session by Bernanke? Can we...

Tom Hoenig

A long running theme here at Risk and Return has been the inappropriate levels of risk our financial institutions run and our frustration with the bailing out of institutions because they are “too big to fail.” Whether in truth those institutions were too big to fail or not, the very fact that they are...
