Saving On Your SmartPhone Bill

By Kenneth Moore | Sep 26, 2011


While owning an Android cell phone or iPhone is all the rage these days, most American carriers have put up a price barrier around their smartphone plans that is simply too high for many people. Depending on your mobile service provider, just the data plan portion of your monthly payment (not including talk and text) can cost around $30 on average. This works out to $360 a year for something that, let’s face it, is ultimately a luxury.

Fortunately there are a few ways to own a smartphone while avoiding those costs.

Dont sign up for a data plan

If youre on T-Mobile or AT&T, the easiest way to do this is to simply buy your phone unsubsidized and out-of-pocket to avoid subscribing to a data plan altogether. This comes with one major caveat: you wont have access to mobile data anywhere you gobut how much of a problem is that really?

Some Current Issues in Financial Reform

By Allison Jones | Sep 23, 2011

Thank you for the invitation to speak today. In the hope of addressing some of your concerns, I waded through the more than 1,000 pages of reports and notes that the Institute of International Finance (IIF) has produced over the past year. Your messages have been consistent, if not always concise, so I would like to focus on three particular concerns about the financial reform agenda you have recently expressed:

  1. the consistency in implementation across jurisdictions;
  2. the possibility of substantial regulatory arbitrage in the shadow banking system; and
  3. the macroeconomic impact of the reforms.

Before I do, allow me a general observation.

The G-20 is undertaking a radical and comprehensive program to strengthen the regulation, supervision and infrastructure of the global financial system. Its ambition can hardly be a surprise.

What Do You Do?

By Thomas Lee | Sep 23, 2011

A few hundred years ago it was easy to know what someone did for a living. Mr. Shoemaker made shoes. Goldsmith hammered precious metals. Tailor sewed. Farmer farmed. Baker baked. Today, it’s not quite that simple. When was the last time you met someone named Dr. Radiologist? Mr. Hedge Fund Manager? Ms. Account Executive?

Does Jackson’s father fix flats? Does Ms. Webman work on the Internet? Of course not. Today we are free to pick the profession we think we’re qualified for regardless of what name we were born with.

So why is it we still use century’s old nomenclature when we describe ourselves to others? Picture this: You’re at a party. You meet a new person – you tell them your name and they tell you theirs. The next thing out of your mouth is, “what do you do?”

If we still used the old system, being named for what we do, that question would be superfluous – our names would tell our new friend exactly what we do for a living.

But the bigger question is why is what we do so important that it’s the second thing we ask? Wouldn’t it be more

Gold’s Ascent Is Fuelled by Dollars Decline, but How High Can Gold Go?

By Kenneth Moore | Sep 23, 2011

16 September 2011

In January of this year the gold bull market had its 10th birthday. Investors who’ve had the patience and fortitude to hold gold since 18 January 2001 when it made its low of $257 have been richly rewarded since today the yellow metal trades at $1,784 an ounce.

A 7 fold move in a little over a decade certainly isn’t bad but given that this bull market shows no sign of stopping, the question is: How High Will Gold Go?

In order to answer this question, it’s first necessary to understand what’s driving gold.

What’s Driving Gold?

Gold has two primary drivers, currency debasement (which shows up as inflation), and interest rates.

Currency Debasement

As a response to its unsustainable levels of state and federal debt, and in an attempt to stimulate economic activity, the United States has adopted a deliberate policy of currency debasement.

As with any market currency prices are set by supply and demand and as the Federal Reserve creates more dollars their value falls, and since gold is denominated in dollars, as the dollar falls, so the price of gold rises. Gold then
