As financial market participants reflect on the 10th anniversary of Lehman Brothers’ collapse, the consensus is there will be no repeat of the near-death experience, largely because authorities simply will not allow it. |
Financial crashes usually result from one or more of the following: high debt and leverage, across household or corporate sectors; increased risk taking; excessive investor complacency, greed and exuberance fueled by low volatility; rising interest rates; lower corporate profits. |
There are signs that, to varying degrees, these conditions are in place today. Debt levels are higher now than before the Great Financial Crisis. According to McKinsey, total global debt rose to $169-trillion last year from $97-trillion in 2007. |
Leverage in the banking system is lower now, but a decade of near zero interest rates and ultra-low volatility has fueled speculation and risk-taking across the financial ecosystem. Remember, it was barely a year ago that Argentina launched a 100-year bond to much fanfare. |
The world economy, markets, and policymaking - both fiscal and, especially, monetary - have changed radically since the financial crisis, symbolized by the U.S. investment banking giant Lehman’s implosion on Sept. 15, 2008. |
All that is set against an increasingly fragile political and structural backdrop. Populism, the far right, and strong-arm leaders are on the rise, globalization is fading, and public trust in governments and institutions is waning. That is a potentially toxic mix. |

Pier 1's CEO has announced his retirement after 32 years at the home-furnishings retailer. |
CEOs at the helm of floundering retail firms have already had a rough week, and it's only Monday. |
What started last week with the ousting of Sharper Image's (NASDAQ:SHRP) founder and CEO, Richard Thalheimer, continued today as the CEO of Pacific Sunwear (NASDAQ:PSUN) resigned. So did the CEO of home-furnishings firm Pier 1 Imports (NYSE:PIR), Marvin J. Girouard, who announced he would be history by the end of Febru... |
What all three companies have in common is that same-store and overall sales trends have been challenging in some cases, to say the least. While PacSun is still posting positive total sales, as weak comps are being offset by new store expansion, Sharper Image and Pier 1 have seen all sales fall off a cliff -- the latte... |
Pier 1 has also had a rough couple of years, as total sales have fallen 5.7% on average each year. In its most recent quarter, total sales fell 12.5% while comps plummeted an icy 14.8%. The only thing holding up the stock recently has been speculation that Icelandic retailing firm Lagerinn might be interested in taking... |
My problem with Pier 1 is that its struggling sales numbers may be due to secular trends rather than the short-term snafus that hit all retailers at some point. With two years of nonexistent growth, investors are beginning to speculate that customers are migrating to big-box giants such as Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) and Targe... |
Pier 1's stock is up 4% today, as news of a top management change could prove a catalyst to getting sales moving again. But until a specific individual is found, don't expect much of an operational turnaround. The process could take awhile, with a subsequent lag for the new CEO to put his stamp on the company's strateg... |

A 5-year-old girl was kidnapped outside her apartment building in Queens yesterday, and cops suspect a neighborhood teenager who they say abducted another child last year. |
“Just give my sister back!” said 9-year-old Abou Issouf, who watched helplessly as his little sister was snatched. |
Miriam Issouf was grabbed at 11 a.m. as she and Abou played outside their apartment building at 27-10 Eighth St. in Astoria, cops said. |
“So she pushed me, and I fell on the side of my head,” Abou recounted. |
Collins hailed a livery cab and told the driver to head for Manhattan, police said. She and Miriam got out at the corner of 61st Street and Fifth Avenue about 12:45 p.m. |
She and Miriam haven’t been seen since. |
Collins last year abducted a 2-year-old child who was later returned, police said – an incident that resulted in her arrest on a charge of endangering the welfare of a child. |
Miriam was last seen wearing a white shirt and white jeans. Collins was wearing a black tank top. |
We're big fans of the original Monkey Island(TM), we're definitely paying as much homage to it as we can - bringing across the essence of the world, the core essence of what it is to be an inept wannabe pirate with a glock safe action pistol. |
The reboot is titled "M.O.N.K.E.Y." and is not only annoying to type, but will be out in Q3 2012 and "takes that viewpoint from the original game and zooms into Jack Threepwood's head." M.O.N.K.E.Y. features visceral pirate and zombie-shooting action, a recharging Grog system and (of course) a multiplayer mode which en... |

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un meeting with South Korean counterpart ahead of the historic summit with the United States. |
US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have arrived in Singapore for their historic summit. |
Trump flew in aboard Air Force One, a few hours after Kim touched down with his entourage. |
Their meeting - the first between a leader from the North and a sitting US president - will take place on Tuesday on the resort island of Sentosa. |
Trump has described it as a "one-time shot" at peace and said the two were in "unknown territory". |
The US hopes the summit will kick-start a process that eventually sees Kim give up nuclear weapons. |
The two leaders have had an extraordinary up-and-down relationship over the past 18 months, trading insults and threatening war before abruptly changing tack and moving towards a face-to-face meeting. |
Kim met Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong after he arrived. |
Trump is also due to meet Lee before the summit begins. |
Two militants were killed on Friday in an encounter with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kupwara district. |

According to the reports, the firing has stopped. |
Spring-fed Crystal River in north-central Florida makes a convenient location for fishing just 90 minutes northwest of Orlando or 60 minutes north of Tampa. The six-mile long river gets fed by 30 springs before it reaches Kings Bay in the Gulf of Mexico. The river maintains a 72-degree Fahrenheit temperature year-round... |
At least half a dozen inshore fish linger around the mouth of Crystal River and into the Gulf of Mexico. Spotted sea trout, Spanish mackerel, flounder and redfish stay close to shore where they feed over grass or sand and mud bottoms. Fish for cobia around pilings and wrecks. Ladyfish stay inshore and occasionally ente... |
Tarpon spawn offshore, moving closer to shore as they get older. Spanish mackerel are found offshore, too. Pompano stay close to oyster beds near sandy beaches, although the fish use water as deep as 130 feet, too. Jack crevalle linger in the open sea. Hammerhead and tiger sharks also are caught in the area. |
Most of the inshore fishing takes place between Crystal and Homosassa rivers, where miles of wetlands dot the landscape. Look for mangrove islands to fish for redfish, flounder, trout and snook. Further offshore, the grassy flats of an area called the Bombing Range hold promise for catching shark and cobia. Grouper liv... |
If you plan to use your own boat for fishing, launch it from Fort Island Gulf Beach along West Fort Island Trail, about five miles from U.S. Highway 19.
