New Norm Economy is still in play!
As we had mentioned here over and over again regarding how Germany's PIMCO and their voices from US - Mr El Erian and Mr Gross are managing and manipulating global policy makers both plitica & monetary alike - have demontrated they are still strong and know their power.
Greece and Euro is the recent example and will not be the last!
Call it co-ordinated move or opportunistic play - in a capitalistic free market there is no qualms about playing by the book and within operating and legal guidelines!
In a Darwinistic fast moving and internet enabled global capitalism the best way to participate is to observe the BIG DOGS and realign the priorities!
And it is important to identify the difference between who is right and who has the ability make them right by managing power and reach!

On the eve of Winter Olympics..the World looks to Greece!
Is Greece too big to FAIL or the gobal economy has just gotten too weak under its underpinnings?
If EURO the seond largest Economic Block and Greece contributing less than 2% of that i shaken and i on the verge of losing its decades worth of consolidation....
If the Global Economy is looking squarely at the Brink AGAIN within a year BECAUSE of GREECE.....which is less than .5% of the gobal economy...
And Finally the whole World knows where Greece is & is certainly very touching just before the Winter Olympics!

While Toyota is being spanked....silently the little one that can...!
Whats happening to Honda Motor Company?
There is not a day gone in 2010 without talking and bashing Toyota! It looks like it could have its own segment in new hour if it continues any longer!
While this is going on in main stage...it appears Honda ha been on its own script! Silently recalling thousands and thousands of cars for one thing or the other!
Is this a coincidence or a Japanese syndrome? And do we have more to come from the Rising Sun when its economy and politics is struggling to keep awake!

Is Goldman Sachs on its mending path with the Administration?
The Pay czar proudly crows that Goldman Sachs and Mr Blankfein listened to HIM before announcing the BONUS and salary structure for GS!
First the number stunner then the endorsement from the WhiteHouse Wage Police!
May be, Just Maybe Goldman will be back and it might be a good opportunity to start loading up the common!

Mr Toyoda, Bows to America ...More Importantly to its Consumers!
Slow to react & respond!
But Mr Toyoda showed why he is still serious to maintain Toyota's loyal customer!
Beefing up its lobbyists and Washington presence!
Speaks to the NHTSA chief & plans a visit to Washington! Breaking the Japanese Tradition - keeps addressing the press core in English!
As everyone know bad news never travels alone - they dig up more and more dirt - from relationship with a couple of high ranked DC individuals to isolating union shops to pull their shutters down!
Solutions are still evasive yet the customers are very patient!
Will this be contained within Toyota or become a Japan backlash?
More soothing ad campaign and sending non-unionised labor force to Washington to have a less damaging outcome from the hearings...these are all meat for the press and the are hungry!
May be , Just May be Mr Toyoda will use this as a kitchen sink opportunity and open up the cover and start fresh with the American Consumer and preserve Japan Inc.

J D Powers & Consumer Reports - sleeping on wheels?
The world is watching Toyota mishandle one of the largest recalls by an Auto company in recent memories-
while the Toyota management and their dealer network has been deaf years to the consumer complaints for over a decade - where was the King makers of J D Powers and Consumer Reports?
Is it time for them to be relevant for a change?
Not to adjust their ratings after the disaster an try to be a bit more to the ground hearing what the real complaints are from the consumers?
May be , Just May be this experience will make the necessary changes to bring J D Powers and Consumer Reports more realistic and accurate assessment of the products.

Can Toyota rattle JAPAN Inc?
Is it 1980s all over again?
Is the beginning nightmare back again for Japan Inc?
Thank you to Wal-Mart Japan was a household name offering low quality and low cost products which enabled Japan to seed the foundation to become a Industrial superpower which has become synonymous for Quality and reliability.
Until Now!
We have mentioned for over a couple of years in this blog about how American cars and products are much superior to Japanese products - dollar for dollar.
Now Toyota facing with once in a lifetime crisis is reluctant to respond fast - like a deer in the cross hair of a headlight!
Not moving decisively and quickly will not just affect the fortunes of Mr Toyoda but will have a disruptive effect on Japan Inc!

Germany's PIMCO at it AGAIN!!
While everyne is bashing Goldman Sachs and WallStreet for the recent turmoil and promoting a conspiracy theory to funnel money to GS- the real force bahind the blackmail and a larger beneficiary of Government failure PIMCO is at it AGAIN.
A couple of months back when Mr Summers and his buddies from Washington started downplaying and also discrediting Germany's PIMCO and their opportunisitic Trio of Mr Gross , Mr El Erian and Mr McCully - they were quick to put a campaign- this time the same tactic but different approach.
They started with dumping US assets and moved enmass to German assets and obfourse like last time around are blanketting the media folks with FUD about weaker economies outside US - in effect supporting their German assets ....well well it certainly is working - both in gaining value to German assets which is reflected in the pread between German rates and other weaklings - some of them as high as 300 basis points.
PIIGS and now they have started pushing the haystack that belongs to the Mighty Queen as well.
The war against Wall Street and Goldman is misguided as the real force which is getting away with maintaining volatility and making it more easy for them to make money - the fixed income players - are getting what they wanted - A little fear and respect!

9 Million is no laughing matter...BUT
The cat is finally out!
Possibly the most hated man in the whole Financia Whatever we just experienced!
The most profitable entity and the man responsible for the most efficient business has been hiding for the last couple of months after decaring one of the most profitable years in its history!
Call it conspiracy or ability to manage/influence decision- thats what Management does and thats what they get paid. If you can get things done without having to pay for it- thats even better.
Pfizer jsut spent over $25 Million dollars in lobbying - I am sure it had nothing to do with Healthcare reform which is in the processes of getting watered down....that too in a regime which got elected on zero tolerance on lobbying platform!!
And now back to the most hated CEO - Mr Blankfein of Goldman Sachs - taking home 9 Million in stocks as bonus after tremendous srutiny from the press and politicians alike. Here is a company which was forced to take TARP and bas blamed for taking insurance money for what they were legally owed...still getting shafted because he worked for the most hated and envied form in the country!
Even Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan too much more than that whose numbers were much lower than GS...may be GS waited to see how much JPM gave Mr Dimon and made sure that Mr B got less than that.
Will this remove the cloud over GS - I guess if there was no reason to hate them in the first place and the press and government hated them anyway - I guess one doesn't need anything more to keep hating them!
Still GS did the right thing by playing it low key and trying to accomodate the anger of the people!

John Chambers and Cisco: A market Jynx??
Excellent quarter and blowout numbers anywhich way you dice it!
Mr Chambers in several interview was very optimistic and projected not just for the next couple of quarters - but for the next several years CISCO growing mid to high teens! Thats something Mr Chambers hasn't uttered in a while!
To be precise - the last time Mr Chambers was this "Optimistically optimistic" as opposed to his famous caustiouslly optimistic was over a decade ago during the Tech Bubbl when Cisco was growing 30-50%. It took a decade for Mr Chambers to regain the confidence...!
Give the headwind the economy is facing - globally with so much of political uncertainity both in US and Europe one can only hope that Mr Chambers hasn't jynxed the market!

US to Americans: Stop Driving Toyota!
Toyota's problem just became a bit more complicated!
US Transportation Secretary issued a strong unprecedented cry to Americans and Toyota- Stop Driving Toyota cars untill fixed! That's over 8 million of them!
This comes at a time when Americn Tax payers own a majority in GM and have a vested interest in American Automobile industry!
This is the strongest the Obama Administration has taken to show how serious it is in defending its interest- be it foreign trade or its consumers & voters.
With China in the cross-wires of Obama as well this might be a very delicate perio for global economy & relationships.
Is this the beginning of a new era in Global economy or just an abberation?
Eitherway it bodes well for American Consumer and Detroit!

Hewlett Packard - the silent Technology Leader!
The silent Technology leader Hewlett Packard has been at the top of the Technology heap under Mr Mark Hurd without making a splash or noise.
IBM in the last three years has done a wonderful job of moving over 90,000 jobs to India and expanding huge in China - translating that into a phenomenal earnings growth story - all keeping it under the es an scrutiny f their customers and media. During that phase of earnings surge due to low cost labor - the top line has been slow to come.
On the other hand HPQ has been growing its top line both organically and through carefully executed acquisitions. The recent acquisition of EDS bodes well for HPQ's top and bottom line growth. So far both EDS and HPQ has not indulged like IBM to capitalise the ow cost labor markets of India and China.
Now HPQ ha other plans- in addition to traditional off-shore activities - HPQ is trying something new- Moving its Global Logistics and Supply Chain activities to India. In the next 2-3 years the center in Chennai is slated to grow from under 50 people to over 6000!
It is a huge risk thatHPQ is taking by moving the supply chain and logistics group away from corporate America - however this could show a huge boost to the bottom line.
As HPQ starts to capitalise its EDS customers with its ow cost initiatives from India like IBM - that will also add a neat little number to its bottom line.
If we have to just learn from how Wall Street responded to IBM when its off-shore initiative translated into earnings - I am sure HPQ is headed for a substantial increase in its value - given where it is compared to IBM's valuation.
HPQ's 3Com move with Mercury Interactive and EDS bodes well for increased customer penetration and should start showing in its top line starting soon.

Toyota misunderstands Pedal to the Metal!
Over several years of fatal accidents and complaints, Toyota finally admits the problem and tries to address what is mushrooming to be a much larger problem that is systemic and intentional in its nature to ignore the safety of the consumers.
Recent revelations from Transportation safety department reveals that Toyota reluctantly agreed to the recent recall after representatives were sent to Japan to explain the legal obligations of Toyota.
Even the current fix looks like a hogwash that might still leave the real problem unaddressed as reports from National Safety Board and documents that is surfacing from various litigations against Toyota.
Mr Toyoda , the chief Executive is reluctant and evasive in addressing the problem.
Is this the beginning of a new era where American consumers will finally understand the value of GM and Ford and the value they stand for? January's sales number from Ford and GM sure do indicate a renewed enthusiasm towards the American built quality cars!

From Beijing to Bangalore....!
While Healthcare is hiding or hybernating the Administration is on its way to promoting the other agenda- Export , Education & Renewable Energy!
It is evident from the speeches and interviews that are coming from the WhiteHouse and Mr Obama's close circle!
back on his usual Town Hall meetings it is more focused and bold!
In several meetings in the past several week - Mr Obama talks about competing with China , Germany , India & the likes when talking about the agenda!
While putting domestic agenda on a war path to most traditional beliefs and practices - the Administration is not minsing words when it comes to going head to head against China and Europe and low cost economies like India and the likes.
Seems to be working so far - with opposition taking a hesitant approach and letting almost every initiative pass through! With or without Nbr 60!

V@#k-er Rule....headed in the right direction or misguided?
Is this a Texan style shootout from an Old era posterboy for pre-internet economy or a honest attempt to address a future financial event?
It appears like a misguided attempt at trying to solve a problem too complex to comprehend even for the intellectuals like the Bens & Volcker's of the world!
It might turn out to be another V#@k-ing effort by the Administration showing their anger at the wrong people - as the Investment Bankers would say!
If the V@#k-er rule is aimed at solving the problem of market meltdowns - we certainly are looking at the wrong side of the problem and refusing to see the complexity of global market and the internet enabled distributed micro powers of the world which can distrupt the fragile capital market with very little effort.
With so much money at stake it might have a tough time to pass in Washinton - even if does it will fail to address even the basics of basics in trying to address the capital market's underlying problems.

NASA: No Moon For you - 10 Years!
National Pride & Go where no man has gone before- well not quite!
Focusing National research in areas that will have immediate impact for American business and people will make absolute sense in these economic times where the deficit has expanded almost perennially & the national competitiveness is waning from the corporate world. With Internet and the likes making it easier for global companies to shrink the time time lag to catch up with innovation an reach of global market - it is absolutely essential to divert every resource to areas of innovation that is of utmost importance to increase competitiveness and marketability globally!

Angry Administration vs Angry People!
Looking back into history we have a lot of documented episodes of angry people and how Revolutions are born and the results. Some successful and some not.
Very rarely have we come across incidences of Angry Administration! Yes we have seen Angry Rulers who several decades and even centuries back it is documented that such Rulers take their anger mainly on foreign invasions and very limited domestic disruptions.
America showed its displeasure and mind you not 'ANGER' by Mr Obama sweeping to office giving his Administration a super majority enabling his agenda to fast track till Number 60 was lost to a naked Senator from the opposition!
Unemployment is pretty high in recent memories!
People around the country are losing their homes and savings at an alarming rate!
More and more people are seeing their retirement age being pushed away for a while!
Yet the only Angry people around are those surrounding the Obama Administration!
It is difficult to recall from recent history where a White House Administration has surrounded itself with VERY ANGRY individuals who have a very demeaning attitude and outlook when they approach the media or release a statement.
Showing a dramatic shift in Policies is one thing - but Showing ANGER??
It is not sure what an Angry Administration is capable of doing - certainly it will be ugly if an Angry Administration is forced to face an Angry People!
From Axlerod to Summers - everyone is so angry and unfriendly when they are confronted by press. It is not just on FOX- even on MSNBC which has become a pro administration channel - atleast a channel which throws stone at the surging FOX team's popularity!
Mr Obama - It might be good to have a "POLITICAL FACE" and not an angry FACE to the people. After all it does not take a majority of population to tip over only a few percentage! Don't need to send the team to Dale Carnegie atleast take the edge off before meetings and stick to policy agenda - emotionless!

Kudos to Mr Kudlow!
Watching Mr Kudlow respectfully drill Mr Paulson was unbeleivble!
On Economy's near Collapse...
On faltering to respond....
On change of course within months of denial?
On Dollar for Dollar backing for Goldman Sachs from AIG...!
Amazing interview and teh closest one can get a "Direct" answer..squirmng/dancing on the Goldman Issue....
Great Work Mr Kudlow- Keep up the good work!

British Screwed US!
Mr Paulson's rederick is quite unusual given how controlled and patient he was during the crisis!
Darling & the Queen's Army of soldiers - like in 1812 tried to burn down the Americans! Only this time they burried Lehman when Wall Street and American Capitalistic Economy was gettng uprooted!
During the last two years the British Media - Financial Times and The Economist have been outright critical of Americn capitalism and Washinton's excess - contributing their share to an already shaky markets. And ofcour WSJ joining the ranks of Fox only made it easier for the British Media to gain more popularity in the global market!
Now The Time of London joins their brethren- Shaking Goldman Sachs with its own boat load of rumours.
May Be , Just May Be - there is more to what the English words meant when Mr Paulson said that British Screwed US!

Apple and its Dominance~
Call him Sadist - May be!
When Steve Jobs released the best positioned and marketed iPhone on live Internet he pulled the quote for Research In Motion and showed the world how their share price was crashing!
Now with iPad in an interview with Wall Street Journal's Mr Mosberg Mr Jobs predicted forcefully that Amazon's price advantage will disappear! And it Did And unlike RIM Amazon tried to bully the publisher and bowed with its tail tucked behind quickly - And saw its Share on a tailpin at one point dropping more than $14! If Amazon were to learn from Research In Motion - Mr Bezo's should take a different tatic than the one he just took and reversed!Both in trying to flex its muscle and also trying a closed and proprietary technology with little to show for inway of innovation! Yes Apple is no sait - but Mr Jobs seem to know where the consumer's heart is - atleast the elitist type!
RIM is still trying to recover since the release of iPhone and has a very bleak future given iPhone's continued popularity and Apple's bulldozing CEO!
Recent rumours about Mr Job's anger on Google is certainly interesting given where the technologies of both the companies are headed!
