The Radar Report for January 26 Is Posted.

Dear New World Investor:

Last October, George Soros wrote an interesting article titled
“Does the Euro Have a Future?” Soros wrote: “The political will to create a common European treasury was absent in the first place, and since the time the euro was created the political cohesion of the European Union has greatly deteriorated…The euro crisis could endanger the political cohesion of the European Union.”

That is exactly right. Soros then goes on to advocate the usual centrist, bigger-government solution of an even tighter political and economic union that would have a central taxing authority and issue Eurobonds. That’s really wrong, as the only point would be to impose draconian sanctions on the Mediterranean countries to make them more like Germany. But the Spanish and Italians are not Germans, and they don’t want to be Germans. With 50% youth unemployment, there would be riots.

In Davos, Switzerland, yesterday, Soros sounded almost petulant. He said that Europe is mired in a “spiral of decline” and that “Weaker members of the euro zone are being left as Third World countries that borrowed in foreign currencies.” He dismissed structural austerity as a path that only reduces a country’s ability to service its debts. Which is true. Then he added: “I’m not sure if authorities [in the EU] are deliberately prolonging the crisis, or if this is being driven by divergent views.”

Sounds like a guy who took a big position in cheap PIIGS bonds and is now afraid he’s not going to be able to cash out at a big profit. Which also is true.

Of course, his solution was to issue Eurobonds at 1%. If Soros was a bartender, his remedy for any customer that was drunk would be another drink.

I think Europe should give up on the euro, but not on the Eurozone. Maintain a European Free Trade Agreement (EFTA) that allows the current free trade and travel, with no passports or work permits required, and no customs duties. But let each country have its own currency, so profligate countries would be squeezed as their currency declined and imports became more expensive, and then work their way out of it as exports and tourism increased……

HULBERT NAMES NEW WORLD INVESTOR #2 FOR 2009 PERFORMANCE, +148.5%.

AND THIS EARLIER MARKETWATCH STORY:

“…over the year to date through June, New World Investor is up 50.7% by Hulbert Financial Digest count, against 4.5% for the dividend-reinvested Wilshire 5000 Total Stock Market Index.
Even more strikingly, over the past 12 months New World Investor is up 5.4% compared to negative 26.4% for the total return Wilshire 5000.
What this means is that Murphy was one of the few letter editors — heck, make that one of the very few analysts anywhere — to effectively anticipate the Crash of 2008.”

Not Familiar With New World Investor?

Investing in fast-growing companies that are part of powerful trends has been my business for almost 40 years. Experience counts in this business, to separate the hype from the reality, the real companies from the research projects, and the good managements from the bad. I wrote the book on high-tech stock investing – Every Investor’s Guide to High-Tech Stocks and Mutual Funds went through three editions and was a business best seller.

Subscribe to New World Investor and learn about my strategy for investing in MegaShift stocks.
