The US Dollar Carry Trade has now broken through to mainstream consciousness. This blog, and many others of course, have been talking about this for years. Formerly disparate markets have slowly been converging for the past 10 years. The reason behind this is, quite naturally, unbacked credit expansion. When there is no or dubious collateral behind a loan, it is only natural that the borrower will seek to speculate recklessly. The consequence of default is not the loss of anything tangible to them, only a poor credit record for a few years. And the rewards are huge if the speculation pans out. As this mentality among ...

Well, it’s not as complicated as one could think. Basically, the concept revolves around a play on currency yields. It consists in borrowing a low-yielding currency and investing the amount in a currency that is offering a higher yield; the yield difference representing your gain (minus tax and commissions). An example of this could be to borrow 1,000 Yen and convert them into USD and then use them to by a USD denominated bond. Assuming that the bond pay 5% and that the Japanese interest rate is at 0,35%; you would stand to make a profit of 4,65% (as long as the exchange rate stays the same).

For the logically inclined, the action in the stock markets these days must be a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma That's how backwards things must appear as the unemployment rate goes higher and the markets jump right along with it. It makes no logical sense. In fact if you compared the rise in the unemployment rate with the rise in the DOW. . . you would be hard-pressed to either explain it or believe it. Yet as Rick Santelli pointed out last week, the correlation between the two is nearly 1:1. Amazingly, even as the unemployment rate hit 10.2% earlier this month, the Dow closed above 10,200.

In a ridiculously hyped-up press conference prominently featured on a one hour ESPN special, James opted to leave the only city and franchise he has known in his seven year career. Needless to say, the city of Cleveland was none too pleased. Clips of rejoicing fans in downtown Miami were simultaneously met with images of LeBron James jerseys being burned in the streets of Ohio. The city of Cleveland has every right to be upset, especially considering a history of heartbreak that has plagued the city for over half a century.

Examples that even suggest this? You've provided none and being African and Muslim myself, I know for a fact that this has nothing to do with the conflicts in Africa. Islam is not an "Arab religion". Islam is one of the three Abhramic religions - the teachings and stories of Adam, Moses, Noah, Jesus, and Abraham are all taught in the religion. None of these men were Arab. It is submission to God and has nothing to do with submitting to any human race. No one covers up the Arab slave trade. Perhaps you tried to justify the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade by bringing up the Arab slave trade and people explained how the two are ...

I have been unable to find that information and I?m not sure such
information exists in that format. The body responsible for licensing
goods vehicle operators (3.5 tonnes and above) produces statistics on
the number of licenses issued, but this relates to users (sole trader,
or a company). Each user will have one or more vehicles.
Would these statistics answer your question?
