Byron Wien 2012 15.01.2012)
Byron R. Wien, Vice Chairman, Blackstone Advisory Partners, issued his list of The Ten Surprises for 2012. This is the 27th year Byron has given his predictions of a number of economic, financial market and political Surprises for the coming year. Byron defines a “Surprise” as an event which the average investor would only assign a one out of three chance of taking place but which Byron believes is “probable,” having a better than 50% likelihood of happening.
Byron started the tradition in 1986 when he was the Chief U.S. Investment Strategist at Morgan Stanley. Byron joined The Blackstone Group in September 2009 as a senior advisor to both the Firm and its clients in analyzing economic, political, market and social trends. read more...

Our Proxy War with Israel 25.01.2009)
In 1950 Gaza's population was 240'000. Today it is 1.5 million. By current trends it will reach 3 millions in 2040. The reason for this growth is that the majority of it's population does not have to provide for it's offspring. Most babies are fed, clothed, vaccinated and educated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). And this growth results in a huge overhang of young males. And these young males are the ideal reservoir from which to recruit the Palestinian fighters. More deatils about the West's proxy war against Israel can be found in the following article. read more...

Carl Icahn 23.11.2008)
On November 14, the Wall Street Journal published a memorable interview with the outspoken Carl Icahn. His comments about CEO's and boards should get drummed into the brain of each shareholder. Most probably his insights are also valid for the CEO's and boards of Swiss companies. That's at least my assumption given my very modest knowledge about some of their representatives.
Some funny excerpts: read more...
