New Linkedin Groups - Mining Stocks and Oil &
Gas Stocks
I have just established a Linkedin Account in my own name, Ian R. Campbell,
and have set up two 'Linkedin Groups' - (1) Mining Stocks and (2) Oil & Gas
Stocks. The Group Descriptor for each is:
The purpose of the 'Mining Stocks' ('Oil & Gas
Stocks') Group is to bring together Mining (Oil & Gas) Company Executives, Investment
Professionals, Retail Investors, and others interested in Resources and Commodities
to discuss current and prospective issues affecting mining companies and their share
prices. Suggested discussion topics include commodity prices, mining (oil
& gas) company operations at a conceptual and company specific level, relevant
valuation principles and concepts, share prices, and investment principles, concepts,
and perceived opportunities.
If you are part of the Linkedin community I invite you to join either one or both
of these Groups, and to then contribute actively to them. If you elect to
join, please state when you do that you are a StockResearchPortal.com Subscriber.
All Subscribers will be accepted.
Krugman on the U.S. Deficits
In a February 4 New York Times article titled 'Fiscal Scare Tactics', Nobel Prize
winner Paul Krugman says that 'stern warnings' about the U.S. Federal Deficit are
reported as 'facts, plain and simple', but that they are not facts, but rather are
opinions that many economists view calmly - and investors do not seem unduly concerned
about. He then goes on to say that while it is true there is a longer-term
U.S. budget problem:
· running big U.S. deficits in the worst economy since the 1930's
"is the right thing to do";
· "once the economic crisis is past the U.S. Governement will
have to increase its revenues and control its costs";
· "in the long run there is no way to make the math work unless
something is done about U.S. health costs";
· "there's no reason to panic about U.S. budget prospects for
the next few years, or even for the next decade"; and,
· "all the hysteria" (over the U.S. budget deficits) is related
to politics in circumstances "where it's apparently hard for many people to tell
the difference between cynical posturing and serious economic argument. And that
is having tragic consequences".
To all of this I say 'Please' Dr. Krugman, but then who am I to question a Nobel
Prize winner. Read Dr. Krugman's article in full and in context - then
reach your own opinion on his views.
