05/27/2010

Points to consider are the market conditions when entering retirement, the lower income on bonds, inflation, unforeseen or hidden expenses, and life expectancy. A lower P/E 10 ratio for the market is considered better than a higher P/E ratio- the current P/E 10 ratio reflecting past 10 years of earnings is about 23 according to Shiller.

A German view of bailouts by the president of the Ifo Institute in Munich
05/26/2010
Hans-Werner Sinn of the Ifo Institute says Germany has already done its part, and socialization of losses in Europe- through eurobonds or other measures- is dangerous. Something he says, even the U.S. avoided doing in the 1830's and 1840's when it let 8 states go bankrupt.

Allan Meltzer's soluton for the financial crisis facing euro currency countries Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland and Greece
05/26/2010
Meltzer says a new currency union should be setup for the northern countries France, Germany, and others who commit to financial discipline and fiscally binding arrangements. The euro currency countries such as Italy and Greece should devalue their currency to fix gaps between wages and productivity in their countries. At a later stage these countries could be readmitted to the new currency union under strict fiscally binding arrangements with enforceable sanctions.

A warning light for Greece to exit the eurozone and return to the drachma to restore competitiveness and growth 2011-2012
05/26/2010
Greece needs to lower prices by 31% just to get to the level of Turkey, says the head of the Ifo research institute in Germany, Wener Sinn. Experts fear a breakdown in civil order inside Greece if deflation at this level occurs with Greece still using the euro. Hollande, the Socialist party candidate in France, also expressed similiar concerns, as reported in the New York Times, calling it a breakup in European governance that followed the breakdown in Greek governance. Sinn says the bondholders are overly exaggerating the risks of a breakup in the eurozone if Greece exits the euro.

The inflation adjusted Dow Jones Industrial Averages (DJIA) average as the real number that retirees and investors ought to be looking at
05/27/2010
Looked at this way one gets a real check on how much the money is worth today. The DJIA is still below the level in 2000 according to the figures cited by Browning, even with the nomnal DJIA at about 14250 in early March 2013. This may be part of the reason why sentiment is subdued, in addition to dependence on the U.S. Federal Reserve policies.

The future for Americans facing retirement in 2013 and beyond
05/27/2010
A U.S. Senate report shows a huge $6.6 trillion deficit in retirement savings in 2013, which comes to about $57,000 per American household. Only a small part of the population benefits from the gains on the stock market- most have suffered from the losses suffered following the 2008 financial crisis, depletion in savings from periods of unemployment, lower paying jobs, little or no interest on savings accounts, and additional stress from rising student debt and medical costs.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
