10 RAZONES ALCISTAS PARA LA BOLSA,

Alex Green, estratega jefe de Investment U ha publicado un breve informe señalando razones para defender un rally de mercado desde los precios actuales: Conservatives are disappointed about the outcome of the national elections. Investors are troubled about the recent volatility in the market. And just about everyone is skeptical about the outlook for the economy – and the Middle East. But that doesn’t mean you should avoid owning shares of great companies – or move your money into low-yielding cash and bonds. There are plenty of good reasons this bull market can continue well into 2013 and beyond. Here are just 10 of them: You shouldn’t fight the Fed. We can argue about the proper role of the Federal Reserve or whether we ought to even have one. But history shows it doesn’t make sense to invest counter to the Central Bank when it is in an accommodative mode. And with the Fed buying up mortgage securities and long-term bonds to keep interest rates down, this is as accommodative as it gets. Short-term interest rates are zero. Hyper-low rates make it cheaper for businesses to borrow and easier for consumers to spend. They also make stocks attractive relative to

GENERAL MOTORS, ¿DESTINADA A QUEBRAR DE NUEVO?

El gigante GM  fabricante de coches de Detroit tuvo que ser rescatado por el gobierno de Estados Unidos, junto con Chrysler,  vía TARP y facilidades fiscales para evitar su desaparición.  Se estima que en la última década el gobierno USA ha empleado cerca de $80 billones en el rescate de GM, además de otros $30 billones en beneficios fiscales y la empresa entró en concurso de acreedores para eliminado deudas,  estimadas en un valor cercano a los $92 billones. Desde el año 2007, GM ha perdido cuota en el mercado global de coches, desde el 23% de entonces hasta el 18% actual y bajando. Los nuevos modelos lanzados por GM tienen cada vez menor aceptación y la competencia está ocupando su lugar… interesante noticia

QUIEN PIERDE CUANDO LA FED MANTIENE BAJOS LOS TIPOS?

I am amazed that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has emphasized the beneficiaries of low interest rates and has never bothered to mention the losers. Nor, to my knowledge, have key administration officials or members of Congress. Yet interest rates close to zero are causing considerable distortions and, for many, outright harm. About Gary Shilling A. Gary Shilling, a Bloomberg View columnist, is president of A. Gary Shilling & Co., a consultancy in Springfield, New Jersey. He is the author of “The Age of Deleveraging: Investment Strategies for a Decade of Slow Growth and Deflation.” More about Gary Shilling Think about savers who are receiving trivial returns on their bank and money-market accounts. Those returns would be negative if fund managers weren’t waiving fees. Furthermore, free checking accounts are disappearing. Banks and thrifts, facing low interest earnings, have increased the size of the required balance on checking accounts that pay no interest to $723, on average, up 23 percent in the last year. The average fee on non-interest checking accounts jumped 25 percent to $5.48 per month, also a record. The percentage of non-interest checking accounts that are free of charges dropped to 39 percent from 76 percent in 2009.
