Beware of Europe’s Backdoor Bank Run

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

tdp2664 InvestorPlace On Wednesday, Fitch Ratings downgraded its credit ratings on five of Europe’s biggest banks, and while that decision made headlines, it’s not the most important story to come out of Europe this week. The real story, which the mainstream media is neglecting, is about signs of an underground run on Europe’s banks. Almost nobody’s talking about it, but there are indications money is already moving out of the EU faster than rats abandoning a sinking ship. Not through the front door, mind you. There are no lines, no distraught customers and no teller windows being boarded up — not yet, anyway. For now, the run is through the back door. Here are four things that make me think so: Italy’s planned ban on cash transactions over 1,000 euros, or about $1,300. French, Spanish and Italian banks have run out of collateral and are now pledging real assets. Swiss officials are preparing for the end of the euro with capital control measures. Europe’s CEOs are actively preparing for the end of the euro despite governmental reassurances. Signs of a Run Let’s start with Italy and Prime Minister Mario Monti ‘s plans to restrict cash transactions over 1,000 euros (down from the current limit of 2,500 euros, or about $3,200). Ostensibly, the move is about reducing tax evasion by prohibiting the movement of large sums of cash outside the official transactional system, but I think it speaks to something far more sinister — namely that the Italian government knows things are going to get far worse than its publicly admitting. Consider: Cash is a stored value mechanism. There isn’t a lot of it because at any given time, most of it is on deposit with banks in any country. That’s as true in Italy as it is here in the U.S. when real interest rates are positive during “healthy” times. But when real interest rates turn negative, people are likely to withdraw cash and stuff it, quite literally, under mattresses or in coffee tins. (Real interest rates are the official lending interest rates, as adjusted for inflation.) In such an environment, holding cash in a bank becomes nothing more than an imputed tax and a disincentive for deposits. It’s also a significant thorn in the side of central bankers who want to control their country’s money supply, because cash can operate outside the system and, specifically, logjam reform efforts. The reason is really pretty simple. If you have negative real interest rates, and cash transactions are largely restricted or removed altogether, then the only way to effectively use cash is to withdraw it and spend it — .immediately. In other words, by limiting cash transactions to 1,000 euros or less, Italy is putting into place a punitive financial control fully intended to keep money moving in a system, lest it become worthless or worse — hoarded and worthless. Now let’s move on to banks. Banking Breakdown Many investors have never thought about it before, but a bank really has only three sources of funding: Money that’s effectively “lent” to the bank by customers placing their assets on deposit; Short-term money market funds; And long-term bonds or securitized products based on long-term paper sold to bond investors. Together, the three funding sources are like the legs on a stool — lose any one of them, and the stool will topple over. This is what’s happening now. Individuals, pension funds and institutions alike are withdrawing funds from Italian, Spanish and French banks. Money has long since left Greece, Ireland and Portugal. The thing is, though, it’s not just European money that’s fleeing. Various reports from The Economist , Bloomberg , CNBC and others suggest that American financials may have pulled more than 40% of their funds from all European banks and nearly two-thirds of their total deposits away from French banks. This is drying up short-term lending capacity and driving up interbank lending costs. At the same time, money managers the world over are selling their European bonds. This is driving prices lower and yields higher to the point where the cost of debt is now prohibitive (bond prices and yields move in opposite directions). As a result, banks' new bond issuance may be down as much as 85% over the past two years, which further hobbles cash-hungry European banks. Finally, facing a near total loss of short-term financing alternatives and having run out of short-term liquidity needed to operate, a number of EU banks are reportedly having to pledge real assets as collateral for badly needed loans. Normally, banks would use loans, leases or receivables to accomplish the same thing. The fact that they’re now having to throw into the mix real estate, their own property and other assets signals extreme levels of financial stress that are far worse than what’s been disclosed publicly. Bracing for the Inevitable Swiss Finance Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf noted to the Swiss Parliament that she has a working group examining capital controls and negative interest rates as a means of preventing an economy-crushing Swiss franc appreciation when the euro fails. That’s not if the euro fails, but when the Euro fails. This is an especially dire sign because capital control measures like those the Swiss officials are considering are inevitably the end of any failed monetary system. European CEOs and their companies are taking matters into their own hands by actively preparing for the destruction of the euro. Some, like German machinery maker GEA Group (PINK: GEAGY ) are limiting the maximum funds on deposit with any single bank. Others, like Grupo Gowex, are moving cash and deposits to Germany away from Spanish banks (and Grupo Gowex is a Spanish company based in Madrid, so this is especially telling). BMW plans to cut production by 30% while also tapping into central bank reserves. According to Chief Financial Officer Friedrich Eichiner, the company is already reducing its leasing portfolio to cope with the potential decrease in car values that would reduce its borrowing capacity. As for what all this means for our money, it’s pretty clear: Think safety first. The return of your capital is far more important than the return on your capital at the moment. Here’s what I suggest: Buy dollars. I know they’re a bad long-term bet, but short-term, they’re the best-looking horse in the global glue factory as long as the euro is under pressure. Stick with what you have in place now and manage risk with trailing stops. Confine new stock purchases to high-growth, low-debt emerging markets rather than low-growth, high-debt developed markets. Short gold and oil in the short-term. Both are priced in dollars, which means both will fall as the dollar rises in conjunction with panic in the EU. Purchase inverse funds that track the broader markets. If the euro fails, it will tank the broader markets. Then, once it becomes clear that the world will live on, the markets will disconnect from Europe and begin to rise again in earnest. Run the other way if people tell you that banks are a great investment . They are speculative at best given the number of skeletons still in the closet.

Natural Gas Fueling Stations Popping Up Around the Country: Check Out Gas Stocks

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 It had to happen sooner or later. Natural gas is considered a much cleaner fuel than petroleum. Now a company called NCI is building natural gas fueling stations in Lee County, Florida for the general public and businesses. The fist will be a service station near Southwest Florida International Airport. Earlier this year, the city of North Little Rock built its first condensed natural gas fueling station , which is open to the public. Consumers, businesses, and governments are gradually making the shift, which should increase demand for natural gas. There are many publicly traded companies involved in the distribution of natural gas, to both homes and businesses, and over 15 over them have yields in excess of 3%. For example, Atmos Energy Corporation (ATO) is involved in the distribution, transmission, and storage of natural gas. This Dallas, Texas based company, which was founded in 1906, trades at 13 times forward earnings and pays out a very favorable yield of 4.2%. Dividends on an annual basis increased from 1.37 to 1.38 per share. Earnings for the latest quarter were up an incredible 27.6% on a 1.4% revenue increase. Another high yielder is Spectra Energy (SE) transports and stores natural gas for customers in various regions of the northeastern and southeastern United States, plus the Maritime Provinces and the Western Provinces in Canada. The company, based in Houston, trades at 16 times forward earnings and boasts a yield of 3.8%. Latest quarterly earnings were up an amazing 28.9% on a 10.2% rise in sales. Other natural gas companies worth taking a closer look at include Northwest Natural Gas (NWN) at a 3.8% yield, WGL Holdings Inc (WGL) paying 3.7%, and Sempra Energy (SRE) at 3.6%. You can access a free list of over 25 natural gas companies , along with their financial data, at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com.

a disincentive for deposits. Its also a significant thorn in the side of central
bankers who want to control their countrys money supply, because cash can
operate outside the system and, specifically, logjam reform efforts. The reason
is really pretty simple. If you have negative real interest rates, and cash
transactions are largely restricted or removed altogether, then the only way to
effectively use cash is to withdraw it and spend it .immediately. In other
words, by limiting cash transactions to 1,000 euros or less, Italy is putting
into place a punitive financial control fully intended to keep money moving in a
system, lest it become worthless or worse hoarded and worthless. Now lets move
on to banks. Banking Breakdown Many investors have never thought about it
before, but a bank really has only three sources of funding: Money thats
effectively lent to the bank by customers placing their assets on deposit;
Short-term money market funds; And long-term bonds or securitized products based
on long-term paper sold to bond investors. Together, the three funding sources
are like the legs on a stool lose any one of them, and the stool will topple
over. This is whats happening now. Individuals, pension funds and institutions
alike are withdrawing funds from Italian, Spanish and French banks. Money has
long since left Greece, Ireland and Portugal. The thing is, though, its not just
European money thats fleeing. Various reports from The Economist , Bloomberg ,
CNBC and others suggest that American financials may have pulled more than 40%
of their funds from all European banks and nearly two-thirds of their total
deposits away from French banks. This is drying up short-term lending capacity
and driving up interbank lending costs. At the same time, money managers the
world over are selling their European bonds. This is driving prices lower and
yields higher to the point where the cost of debt is now prohibitive (bond
prices and yields move in opposite directions). As a result, banks' new bond
issuance may be down as much as 85% over the past two years, which further
hobbles cash-hungry European banks. Finally, facing a near total loss of
short-term financing alternatives and having run out of short-term liquidity
needed to operate, a number of EU banks are reportedly having to pledge real
assets as collateral for badly needed loans. Normally, banks would use loans,
leases or receivables to accomplish the same thing. The fact that theyre now
having to throw into the mix real estate, their own property and other assets
signals extreme levels of financial stress that are far worse than whats been
disclosed publicly. Bracing for the Inevitable Swiss Finance Minister Eveline
Widmer-Schlumpf noted to the Swiss Parliament that she has a working group
examining capital controls and negative interest rates as a means of preventing
an economy-crushing Swiss franc appreciation when the euro fails. Thats not if
the euro fails, but when the Euro fails. This is an especially dire sign because
capital control measures like those the Swiss officials are considering are
inevitably the end of any failed monetary system. European CEOs and their
companies are taking matters into their own hands by actively preparing for the
destruction of the euro. Some, like German machinery maker GEA Group (PINK:
GEAGY ) are limiting the maximum funds on deposit with any single bank. Others,
like Grupo Gowex, are moving cash and deposits to Germany away from Spanish
banks (and Grupo Gowex is a Spanish company based in Madrid, so this is
especially telling). BMW plans to cut production by 30% while also tapping into
central bank reserves. According to Chief Financial Officer Friedrich Eichiner,
the company is already reducing its leasing portfolio to cope with the potential
decrease in car values that would reduce its borrowing capacity. As for what all
this means for our money, its pretty clear: Think safety first. The return of
your capital is far more important than the return on your capital at the
moment. Heres what I suggest: Buy dollars. I know theyre a bad long-term bet,
but short-term, theyre the best-looking horse in the global glue factory as long
as the euro is under pressure. Stick with what you have in place now and manage
risk with trailing stops. Confine new stock purchases to high-growth, low-debt
emerging markets rather than low-growth, high-debt developed markets. Short gold
and oil in the short-term. Both are priced in dollars, which means both will
fall as the dollar rises in conjunction with panic in the EU. Purchase inverse
funds that track the broader markets. If the euro fails, it will tank the
broader markets. Then, once it becomes clear that the world will live on, the
markets will disconnect from Europe and begin to rise again in earnest. Run the
other way if people tell you that banks are a great investment . They are
speculative at best given the number of skeletons still in the closet. This

Todays Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA DJI; Nasdaq Index; S&P 500 Index; Stock Market Investing News Week’s Close Review Today

The primary indices finished the last trading session mixed but lower for the
last week overall. The initial half of the trading week was primarily negative
as stocks weakened and anxieties relevant to the eurozone debt crisis applied
ongoing pressure. Investors are looking to receive more information and detail
regarding the debt resolution plan in the eurozone but, so far, few details have
been forthcoming. As the week progressed, home based economic reports in the
U.S. were stronger and helped to push indices higher on Thursday. Filings for
unemployment insurance dropped lower and manufacturing data posted
better-than-expected. The positive action pushed all three primary indices into
the green on Thursday. On the last session of the week, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average closed lower by .02 percent. The S&P 500 index finished the last session
green by .3 percent and the Nasdaq finished the last session higher by .6
percent. Trading volume in the marketplace was light last session due to global
marketplace volatility and the upcoming holiday. Ultimately for the week, the
primary index composites in the U.S. finished in negative territory. The DJIA
finished the week lower by 2.61 percent. The S&P 500 closed the last week lower
by 2.83 percent. The Nasdaq finished the last week lower by 3.46 percent
overall. Frank Matto
