US Consumer Confidence: UP

Aug. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Following is the text of U.S. consumer confidence from the Conference Board.

The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index ®, which had retreated in July, rebounded in August. The Index now stands at 54.1 (1985=100), up from 47.4 in July. The Present Situation Index increased slightly to 24.9 from 23.3 last month. The Expectations Index improved to 73.5 from 63.4 in July.

The Consumer Confidence Survey ® is based on a representative sample of 5,000 U.S. households. The monthly survey is conducted for The Conference Board by TNS. TNS is the world’s largest custom research company. The cutoff date for August’s preliminary results was August 18th.

The labor market outlook was also more upbeat. The percentage of consumers expecting more jobs in the months ahead increased to 18.4 percent from 15.5 percent, while those expecting fewer jobs decreased to 23.3 percent from 26.1 percent. The proportion of consumers expecting an increase in their incomes increased slightly to 10.6 percent from 10.1 percent.

FNARENA: The Long And Short Term Of Commodities

Concordo com este cara. ele trabalha na australia e me da uma visão do outro lado do planeta há anos....

não é sempre que enchergamos a mma coisa mas é otimo qd vc tem uma ideia e confia no call de alguem e o cara é um dos poucos que vc pondera e ele tem a mma cabeça que voce sometimes.

While a correction is never a pleasant experience for commodity and resource sector investors, corrections are also considered healthy in an overly exuberant market. For the investor with a longer term horizon (or the investor still sitting nervously in cash), a correction should not be something to fear. Because just as most analysts expect short term weakness, they also expect longer term strength.

Warren Buffett and the butterfly effect

IN nature, every action has consequences, a phenomenon called the butterfly effect. These consequences, moreover, are not necessarily proportional. For example, doubling the carbon dioxide we belch into the atmosphere may far more than double the subsequent problems for society. Realizing this, the world properly worries about greenhouse emissions.

The butterfly effect reaches into the financial world as well. Here, the United States is spewing a potentially damaging substance into our economy — greenback emissions.
