STOCK MARKET REPORT – LAST WEEK OF JANUARY. ‘A WILD WEEK’.

CHANGES TO THE MASS of PROFITS AND ITS EFFECT ON THE RATE OF PROFIT

This is a quick explanation of the difference in the relative and absolute rate of profit which I said I would provide in the comments section on Michael Robert’s website regarding his recent posting of new and improved global rates of profit.

THE FRAUDULENT FED AND THE WEEK AHEAD.

IBM underscores the point made by this article that forward guidance is more important than Q4 profitability. When IBM announced profits which exceeded expectations its shares popped 6% only to collapse when it was realised that IBM had offered not forward guidance.

‘THE ECONOMICS OF MODERN IMPERIALISM’. A pioneering but flawed paper.

I would have preferred to provide the reader with a more detailed analysis but the world stock markets continue to beckon.

A FINANCIAL BUBBLE ‘TOO BIG TO FAIL’ IS BEING TESTED. THE US ECONOMY STUMBLES AT THE END OF 2021.

THE ESTABLISHMENT PAYS A HEAVY PRICE FOR SHAFTING CORBYN; The wrecking of the Tory Party. Couldn’t happen to nicer politicians.

Unlike Trump and his base, it is likely the UK establishment will reclaim the Tory Party from the populists before the next election. It is also likely that Johnson is measuring his residency at No 10 on a daily basis. This is a foreshortened article on the state of the Tory Party. Developments in the world economy, for example the release today of Retail and Industrial Data in the USA, beckon requiring urgent analysis and commentary.

BACK TO THE PAST: 2016. This time the world economy may not avoid recession.

THE CHINESE ECONOMY as it exits 2021 and enters 2022.

On the 5th January, after I published this article, the Financial Times reported on Chinese Bank lending in an important article titled: “Chinese Banks Reveal Fears Over Economy”. The article showed that Chinese banks bought loss making instruments such as bankers’ acceptances to meet their annual lending quota rather than lending to the private sector because of fears of a slowing economy and and the risks that poses. Seems these bankers are no different to those found in the West concerned about preserving their capital rather than following the edicts of the CCP.
