Panic at Davos!
The popular savings-glut meme holds that the global economic imbalances exist not because Americans (and their government) spend too much, but because the rest of the world—in particular people in Asia—spends too little and saves too much. But maybe the real problem isn't the frugal Chinese. Maybe it's frugal CEOs. It now appears that there is another savings glut right here in the U.S.A. In the past several years, instead of spending cash on hiring, new machinery, R&D, or dividends, CEOs have just been sitting on it. Huge, useless mountains of dollars, yen, euros, and pounds sterling. Sure, emerging economies like China have been net savers, as savings-glut enthusiasts have noted. But when the economists at JP Morgan & Co. studied changes in net savings among the household, government, and corporate sectors in large economies they found that corporations in the G-6—the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Japan, Germany, and France—saved five times as much as all sectors in emerging markets combined.

Jonathan Evans Files $463,700 Arbitration Claim Against Morgan Keegan ...
STUDIO CITY, Calif., Jan. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Jonathan Evans filed a $463,700 arbitration claim against Morgan Keegan and its registered representative, Andrew Harris, today for making recommendations which placed his retired clients in the middle of the sub-prime meltdown. The claim alleges that Harris advised his clients to purchase a large number of shares in four Morgan Keegan funds all of which were focused in sub-prime markets. As a result of his recommendations, the claim alleges these retirees lost a large portion of their retirement money. Evans' clients are a husband and wife, both retired school teachers who reside in La Quinta, California. "They scrimped and saved their entire lives and successfully built a nest-egg for their retirement. They had settled into a wonderful retirement and were enjoying the fruits of their long-term savings," described Evans.
TRUSTING YOUR PSYCHIC FRIENDS NETWORK
What about Q?" I said. "Then we've got a whole subway line." "You must listen," she said. "This is important." "Right," I said, remembering the last time I got my tarot cards read by a friend of mine. It was a week before my marriage ended, and every card I kept drawing was getting progressively worse until I finally landed on a picture of a sad little man jumping out of a tower completely engulfed in flames. My friend, bless her heart, would only say, "I think change is a good thing!" "Don't worry," I told the Park Slope psychic. "N and R people are my enemies. I believe you." Suddenly, she looked alarmed. "Wait," she said. "What is this?" "More success?" I asked with a weak laugh. "You have been hurt," she said. "Oh," I said. "Where does it say -" She looked progressively uncomfortable, and I wanted to cheer her up with all the names of my possible N-emies: Nancy Drew, Nurse Ratched, the movie "Norbit." "Your heart," she said gravely.
