Hoy me quede boca abierta mirando a dos de los que reportan acerca del mercado en CNBC finanzas, estos seniores son mas Obamista que Obama y sin embargo hoy por primera vez los escuche decir: Y pensar que nuestras inversiones estan a expensas de un puniado de paises socialistas en Europa que no saben lo que hacen.
Y el otro dijo, bueno US esta viendo lo que esta pasando a Europa, definitivamente no debemos seguir el mismo rumbo.
Gracias Dios mio la luz esta llegando a muchos que estaban en la oscuridad.

O'Neill de Goldman dice que el euro estaba sobrevalorado y que la crisis financiera ha hecho que la moneda se sincere a su verdadero valor, Europa tendra que tomar pasos coordinados para darle soporte a la moneda.
El euro se habia encarecido en los ultimos dos anios.
El euro ha bajado 15% frente al dolar este anio.
Dijo que lo que ha pasado en Grecia es una alerta para todo el mundo.
Goldman’s O’Neill Says Crisis Helped Curb Euro ‘Overvaluation’
By Simone Meier and Ken Prewitt
May 19 (Bloomberg) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Chief Global Economist Jim O’Neill said that while Europe’s debt crisis has eased the euro’s “overvaluation,” policy makers may have to take coordinated steps to shore up the currency.
“People need to remember that for the past couple of years the euro’s been very expensive,” O’Neill told Bloomberg Radio from London today. Still, the euro’s recent slide indicates expectations that monetary union could unravel, “so, there needs to be something done by European policy makers to stabilize the euro in the near future,” he said.
The euro has shed 15 percent against the dollar this year on concern a Greek fiscal crisis will spread across the 16- member currency region. While European leaders last week pledged a rescue package worth almost $1 trillion and the European Central Bank started purchasing government bonds, investors remain concerned about nations’ ability to push down deficits.
The euro remained near a four-year low against the dollar today, trading at $1.2292 at 1:45 p.m. in London. It dropped as low as $1.2144 today, the lowest level since April 17, 2006.
Greece on May 18 received the first installment of a European Union aid package allowing it pay back 8.5 billion euros of bond maturing today and avoid default. The government pledged 30 billion euros of budget cuts to secure the aid and pledged to reduce the budget gap to 8.1 percent of gross domestic product this year from 13.6 percent in 2009.
Greece cut the deficit 42 percent in the year’s first four months, Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou said yesterday.
Spain and Portugal earlier this month announced additional spending cuts to trim their budget shortfalls.
O’Neill said the European debt crisis is the “first serious test” for the currency region and that it’s “very early days to start worrying about” a breakup of the union.
“Of course what’s happening in Greece is a warning to everybody,” he said. But the EU rescue measures “were actually impressive in terms of a coordinated European response.”

Personalmente, lo que mas preocupa a mi es que ya todos se olvidaron de Grecia, ahora el focus es en el euro y las medidas desesperadas de Alemania, ironicamente Alemania la economias mas fuerte de la zona y la columna vertebral de la zona euro esta desesperada, asustada y toma medidas unilaterales sin consultar con los demas paises de la union.
Que tan mal esta la situacion para que Alemania se vea obligada a hacer algo asi, contra el deseo de todos los demas, eso es muy extranio. Alemania sabe algo que nosotros no sabemos, obviamente, brutos no son.
Esto parece una calca de los dias del inicio de la crisis financiera en US, habian dias malos y mas malos y menos malos y un poco malos, estamos asi por dos semanas.
El euro y Europa tienen el poder de amenazar la economia mundial, representan un riesgo systemic o total. Los bancos todos estan interconectados y todos estan bien calladitos, no son como los americanos que todo sale inmediatamente en el WSJ, en los blogs, etc. etc. Aca la informacion es transparente y se sabe antes de que ocurra.
En Europa no es asi.
Otra espina que me atormenta es China, tambien bien calladita pero ellos venden mucho a Europa tambien y tienen euros y etc, etc. tambien mudos aunque su bolsa esta hablando, estan en plena correccion.
El oro no es refugio, por que no es moneda, no es commodity, al final no es nada, cuando tienen que vender para pagar sus apalancamientos todos venden todo, oro, plata, oil, cobre y no se distingue nada y si el mercado sigue bajando se van a generar mas llamadas para cubrir mas y mas posiciones, eso ya lo vimos en la crisis en US.
Estamos dia a dia mirando con los brazos cruzados como se desarrollan los acontencimientos y lamentablemente nada bueno sale del mundo ultimamente. Solo US se esta poniendo las pilas, sacando del gobierno a la lacra de los democratas uno a uno van desfilando.
Los republicanos estan bloqueando las leyes daniinas a la economia, ya hoy vimos lo de la regulacion de los derivativas por la presion de los republicanos y asi se sigue avanzando. Algo positivo en tanta porqueria.
El trading mas y mas dificil estos dias por que no hay una direccion clara.
Estamos al vaiven de las noticias, noticias y mas noticias. Esperando las minutas del Fed.

El caso de A. Specter en Pennsylvania es realmente triste, este senior ha servido por 30 anios como republicano en el Senado, por estar coqueteando con Obama apoyando las medidas socialistas del mencionado camarada, Spector se tuvo que cambiar al partido democrata para poder ser nominado para las elecciones.
De todas maneras ha perdido, otro democrata le ha ganado y es una manera muy vergonzosa de retirarse del Senado despues de 30 anios.
Moraleja: los principios no se doblan, no se cambian, no se renuncian.
En fin a los 80 anios ya era hora que descansara.

Francia furiosa con Alemania por no haber recibido una notificacion al respecto, los paises afectados deberian ser consultados dijo la ministra de Finanzas. Dijo tambien que Francia no va a proibir el naked short selling de deuda soberana ya que es un mercado muy pequenio para ellos.
EU Call for Unity on Short-Selling Ban Angers France
By MATTHEW DALTON and TERENCE ROTH
BRUSSELS—Germany's unilateral ban on so-called naked short sales of securities caught other European Union governments unawares, drawing an angry response from France even as financial markets fretted that other countries might follow suit after EU finance ministers meet Friday.
French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde said France had received no word of the German plans. "Governments affected should be consulted," Ms. Lagarde said at a press conference. "France is not considering banning naked [credit default swaps] on sovereign debt. It's a very narrow market and that sort of trading is not very active in Paris."
Michel Barnier, the European Union's internal market commissioner, gestured during a news conference following the meeting of European Union finance ministers in Brussels on Tuesday.
.Germany overnight suddenly outlawed naked short selling—a practice that involves selling financial instruments without first borrowing them or ensuring they can be borrowed. Types of securities affected are bank shares, government bonds and credit default swaps, a kind of insurance against default risk.
The German news hit European financial markets with another bout of nerves. Some market watchers said the move highlighted Europe's struggle to find a cohesive response to the threat that the Greek debt crisis could spread.
"The short-selling ban is intended to stop what German politicians feel is a speculative attack against the euro," said Hans Redeker, chief currencies strategist at BNP Paribas in London. "This interpretation is foolish to say the least. The decline of the euro and inner EMU [bond yield] spread widening has very little to do with speculation, but is the result of excessive debt and deficits, fiscal and monetary authorities undermining the legal framework in which a stable currency was supposed to work. Consequently, foreign investors are withdrawing from EMU debt instruments."
The European Commission, the European Union's executive arm, suggested that Germany acted peremptorily on an issue that would be discussed by all EU finance ministers on Friday. "These measures will be even more efficient if they are coordinated at European level," said Michel Barnier, the European commissioner for financial regulation. "It is important that member states act together and that we design a European regime to avoid regulatory arbitrage and fragmentation both within the EU and globally," Mr. Barnier said.
The commission is examining the issue closely and plans to outline its proposals for regulation within a few weeks, including requirements to disclose short positions and restrictions on naked short-selling, Mr. Barnier said. European governments have blamed "speculators" for driving up borrowing costs through their massive selling of government bonds and credit-default swaps.
The euro came under new pressure amid a market perception that an EU-wide crackdown on short-selling could make the common currency the main way for investors to express bearish views on the region's debt crisis. The currency plunged to a fresh four-year low of $1.2143 in Asian trading hours. The currency bounced back later in Europe, partly on rumors that the European Central Bank could soon intervene with euro purchases.
The cost of insuring European sovereign debt against default using credit-default swaps dropped sharply early Wednesday as investors reacted to the German news by abandoning bets that those costs would rise.
Journal Community
..Other European governments said Wednesday they are considering following Germany's ban and that discussions are taking place.
Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking in German parliament Wednesday, said the regulation will stay in force until it is replaced by an EU-wide statute. "This will all remain in place until other rules are established on a European level," Merkel said.
Ms. Merkel said German finance ministry officials would present Germany's ideas to representatives of other EU countries in Brussels Friday. That date marks the first meeting of a task force set up by Herman Van Rompuy, president of the European Council of governments, to study better ways to resolve economic crises and improve budget discipline across the EU. The task force includes representatives from each of the 27 EU states, with most countries expected to send their finance ministers.
The German finance ministry said the German ban could be expanded to include naked short-selling of all German shares, stock derivatives, derivatives related to euro-zone government bonds and any euro-currency derivatives that "don't have a role in hedging against currency risks."
Germany's crackdown is at least in part politically inspired. The country's parliament has been demanding tighter financial regulation at a time when Ms. Merkel is seeking parliamentary support for approving Germany's share of the massive EU bailout facility for highly indebted governments of the 16-nation euro zone.
Ms. Merkel's center-right coalition has a majority in the Bundestag and could clear Germany's bailout contribution without help from the Social Democrats. But the measure must also go before the upper house, which is seated by Germany's 16 federal states, and Merkel's coalition parties lost their majority there after losing a key regional election earlier this month.
"This was driven by the electorate, to gain political support," said Carsten Brzeski, an economist at ING Bank in Brussels. Mr. Brzeski said Ms. Merkel cracked down on short selling "to show that politics is still ahead of markets and that they are running the show."
It wasn't clear whether such an EU-wide ban would find agreement in the U.K., which because of its dominant banking sector would be needed before such a ban could be effective. The U.K.'s Financial Services Authority declined to comment Wednesday on whether a similar ban was possible there. The agency said in a statement that the ban doesn't cover the branches of German companies in the U.K.
Belgium's financial market regulator CBFA is discussing whether to follow Germany's ban on the naked short-selling of euro-zone government debt and credit default swaps, a spokeswoman said Wednesday. She said talks are currently being held with other national regulators, through the Committee of European Securities Regulators.

Aguila, muy buen resumen de los riesgos. Para mí, la gran pregunta es qué noticia podría darle un cambio de dirección a esta incertidumbre, los datos de US, de la economía y de las empresas, siguen mejorando, pero el miedo predomina y hace opacar los fundamentos. Por eso me parece que hay más riesgos de que los mercados sigan bajando o se mantenga laterales oscilando, que empiecen a recuperarse sostenidamente. En este contexto, prefiero estar cash pero muy atento a los papeles con mayores caídas.

Los presidentes ejecutivos: ¿la gente linda de las empresas?
Por Michael Corkery
Ahh, el rigor de la Torre de Marfil: los conjuntos de datos, la matemática regresiva… ¿el análisis facial?
Investigadores de la Universidad de Duke, junto con la Oficina Nacional de Investigación Económica de Estados Unidos, han determinado que la gente considera que los presidentes ejecutivos de las compañías tienen rostros más competentes que los que no ocupan este cargo. Los analistas también concluyeron que la gente responde mejor a las caras de los presidentes ejecutivos de las grandes compañías que a los rostros de los responsables de pequeños negocios.
Otro dato interesante extraído del informe de 20 páginas: los presidentes ejecutivos "con cara de niño" recibieron peores puntaciones de "competencia" que los que tenían aspecto más maduro, y por lo general recibían un salario inferior. No obstante, en el lado positivo, los "cara de niño" recibieron mejores puntuaciones en cuanto a simpatía.
Aún así, "no encontramos ninguna evidencia de que las firmas presididas por presidentes ejecutivos que parecen competentes obtuvieran mejores resultados", concluye el estudio. En resumen, el ´aire´ de competencia dice muy poco sobre la capacidad real".
De hecho, un estudio publicado en 1995 en la publicación Personality & Social Psychology Bulletin mostraba que la gente "con cara de niño", considerada menos competente, solía ser más inteligente.
El estudio de Duke, publicado en marzo, solicitaba a estudiantes de Duke y de la Universidad de Carolina del Norte que examinaran fotografías de unos 1.500 presidentes ejecutivos.
Pero, ¿importa algo de todo esto? Pues sí. El estudio tiene validez.
La apariencia física ha sido un tema de muchos estudios académicos, como el informe divulgado en 1994 en el American Economic Review que analizó la "prima de belleza", que determinó que los trabajadores de atractivo "superior al promedio" ganan más que los de atractivo "inferior al promedio".
Otros estudios pidieron a los participantes que miraran durante una fracción de segundo a los rostros de candidatos políticos de los que desconocían sus políticas. La deducción que hace la gente sobre si una persona parece segura de sí misma a menudo corresponde a si ese candidato resulta elegido.
Las apariencias pueden ser engañosas, pero todavía importan.

Cuando en duda cash es la mejor alternativa.
Ahora yo veo debilidad en el oro y como ya se que hay muchos inversionistas que consideran que creen en el oro como en su religion, se que va a subir, asi que por alli hay una alternativa.
El petroleo teoricamente no deberia romper su rango de $70 y $80 pero si la crisis llega a mayores tipo Lehman puede seguir bajando. El cobre igual se habia resistido muy bien arriba de $3 pero todo depende de la magnitud de la crisis.
No ayuda que la Fed diga que la crisis Europea puede "impair the financial markets en US" eso ratifica que Europa tiene el potencial de ser una fuerza negativa devastadora.
Y China, China es otro problema pero todavia para dentro de unos meses mas.
