Total Returns by Country Since March 2003 [view article]
Indonesia (Jakarta Composite Index) up 443% for that period, better than Brazil. ReplyTotal Returns by Country Since March 2003 [view article]
Why omit Norway? The index has gone from appx. 98 to 420. In my book that is not too bad. ReplyTotal Returns by Country Since March 2003 [view article]

I'd like to see the exchange rate adjusted returns as well. And to note also that Brazil was pretty much starting in the sub-basement to generate such returns. ReplyTotal Returns by Country Since March 2003 [view article]
Bespoke needs to go over to Gannett and hire an out-of-work copy editor to edit its copy. This is poorly written.What's being compared to what here? If the "MSCI World Index Local Currency" index is up 68%, how come the 22 listed components are up far more than 68% on a "total return" basis? Isn't this perhaps a story on currency inflation?
Fill in the gap in the logic here, I am not a mind reader. Reply

Interesting. Good stuff. How much of this is due to the currency exchange rates/weak dollar? ReplyTotal Returns by Country Since March 2003 [view article]
Interesting article, I think that it is also important to look at the break down between different sectors and sub-sectors.bullishbankers.com Reply

Thanks for posting. I was also surprised by China performance. No one would say that it is as much as US. ReplyGlobal P&E Ratios and Dividend Yields [view article]
AOD with 17% interest is full of fine quality European stocks. It is a relatively new ETF and untested, but they have managed to pay excellent rates without resorting to Auction Rate Securities. ReplyGlobal Market Snapshot [view article]

There are a lot of 'memes' - or perception derived beliefs that haven't been objectively tested - in the original posting. We all have these...like "work hard and you'll get a head" (actuallly, you perspire and get tired) or "health care" which is really 'sickness intervention' and 'diagnosis reimbursement', which also carries a larger parasitic load from administration and information errors than mutual fund fees, or even hedge fund rake-offs. When big pharma sells new "me-too" drugs via television ads, if there's no CyP analysis for the population, there will be a huge incidence of side-effects.A stimulus, that might have somewhat more lasting value, IMO, would have been "The feds won't tax the first 5K$ of divs & interest this year, regardless of AGI" or whatever would be the equivalent tax loss from the give away...it would have slowed the consumption, but increased savings, and provided capital flows. It also would have slowed the "gimme" from the great unwashed.
Another possibility, enact a "FairTax" on consumption (see FairTax.org) and give up the consumer-driven economy.
Perhaps we should tax the insurance companies who make people pay rent on their anxieties.
Perhaps we might provide accurate feedback to all the test-takers :
"You missed a lot of 'recall' questions, and need to learn how to outline and precis..or actually do the required reading";
"compared to your enates, you missed a lot of the 'discrimination' questions, so we need some practice with these, across the topics";
instead of giving schools and principals/teachers, a score for how well they've utilized their instructional resources.
We need to have a more transparent legislative process, so the public can actually understand what a bill may mean when it becomes law.
We need to have a bigger focus on aging infrastructure, rather than the color of a neighbor's house; and we need to remember that life is temporary, but good deeds and doing well for others has a longer existence...but no thanks or monetary rewards are necessary, particularly in a resource constrained environment.
We definitely need to have a focus on needs vs. wants, so that holidays become a celebration and not an expensive shopping trip.

What If...? Market Contingency Plans [view article]
Although the author's question "Why are socialist Spain and the capitalist United States facing the same economic problems?" is a nice turn of phrase, it does not represent reality. By any reasonable account, Spain is just as capitalistic as any other developed market. While the party currently in power is called the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE in Spanish), that does not mean the country in and of itself is socialist. In fact, the PSOE is much like all other modern European social democratic parties. Remember that the previous government in Spain (with the Popular Party [PP] in control) was--along with Great Britain--one of the very few that supported the U.S. wholeheartedly in the war in Iraq, much to the chagrin of true socialists.
