I am currently looking at every constituent equity in the NIKKEI 225. All financial sectors are completely taking a beating. Everything in the insurance and securities sectors is completely down. Almost everything in the banking sector is down. I wonder if this is a prelude to a repeat of Thursday in the market.

Almost all the constituent equities in the NIKKEI 225 have huge losses. The petroleum sector is in the red as well. WTI Crude is at a 12 year low.

I have entered into a long position in HUBG before I started this journal. I just recently was able to close the trade. It was the longest swing trade ever.

This is essentially one round trip trade. My initial position was @ 38.84, but the market dropped suddenly, so I doubled down. On 2015-12-23, increased position by 16.6%. 2016-01-04, increased position by 200% because the market had taken a severe tumble.

"What a waste, it should have been sprinkled on a birthday cake," a senior ANZ markets trader said after a "white substance" was found in the male toilet of the bank's dealing room floor, according to court documents filed by Etienne Alexiou.

Spanish Class Action is the Latest Collective Investor Action Filed Outside U.S - 2016-02-07
http://www.dandodiary.com/2016/02/a...collective-investor-action-filed-outside-u-s/

Filing a securities class action lawsuits is well-established practice in the United States; however, in recent years it has become a regular phenomenon in Australia and Canada as well. The phenomenon has now migrated to Spain as well.

Investors in the troubled Spanish banking company Bankia have initiated a class action lawsuit against the company.

​

counsel for 660 individual investors has filed an action in a Madrid court seeking to have the individuals compensated for their investment losses in connection with the company’s 2011 stock flotation. The investors collectively seek recovery of 6.3 million euros (about $7 million).

The Supreme Court said that Bankia’s prospectus for its IPO had contained “serious inaccuracies.”

I am not surprised by this at all.

Man skips work for 6 years; no one notices
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/02/14/man-skips-work-for-six-years/80378690/#

A 69-year-old Spanish man was fined this week after officials discovered he hadn't shown up to work for at least six years

Wow! It only took them six years to find out. But wait, it gets better.

the civil servant was discovered only when the deputy mayor attempted to give him an award for 20 years of "loyal and dedicated" service in 2010.

His response to why he had not come to work in 6 six years is a great reflection upon socialism.

The investigation into García determined he hadn't been to his office for at least six years—and possibly as long as 14 years — and had done "absolutely no work"

Brazil's 5,500 Bankruptcies in 2015 Signal Deeper Credit Crisis
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-02-15/brazil-s-5-500-bankruptcies-in-2015-signal-deeper-credit-crisis

In his two decades covering Brazil, Fitch Ratings’s Joe Bormann says he’s never seen the nation’s companies in such a dire state.

“It’s legitimately a credit crisis,”

Due to the corruption scandal at the state-owned oil producer, the country's credit rating has plummeted. Another corruption scandal in Brazil, you don't say. What a shocker. It seems as though all the Hispanophones and Lusophones are in financial trouble.

I have a theory on this. Languages direct our thinking. Language is something that these countries have in common. There is an interesting book from Cambridge University Press. It is about linguistic anthropology. Perhaps the problem with these countries is the language that they speak. The language that we speak, directs how we think and perceive the world. It influences how we interact with our peers. Perhaps, if another language was adopted in these countries, it would change how they do business. They certainly could use all the help they can get.

Language, our primary tool of thought and perception, is at the heart of who we are as individuals. Languages are constantly changing, sometimes into entirely new varieties of speech, leading to subtle differences in how we present ourselves to others. This revealing account brings together eleven leading specialists from the fields of linguistics, anthropology, philosophy and psychology, to explore the fascinating relationship between language, culture, and social interaction. A range of major questions are discussed: How does language influence our perception of the world? How do new languages emerge? How do children learn to use language appropriately? What factors determine language choice in bi- and multilingual communities? How far does language contribute to the formation of our personalities? And finally, in what ways does language make us human? Language, Culture and Society will be essential reading for all those interested in language and its crucial role in our social lives.

​

Fitch and Standard & Poor’s cut Brazil’s bond rating to junk last year. The local currency, which declined 33 percent last year, has slipped 0.8 percent this year.

“Nothing has gotten better,”

Another corruption scandal in Spain. I wish I could say that I was surprised. As I stated in my previous post, I think we should look to linguistic anthropology for the reason why Hispanophones always seem to be in trouble.

In Valencia, for decades a bastion of PP power, the party has become the target of a judicial probe into allegations of bid rigging and illegal commissions. The judge leading the investigation has named nine out of 10 PP councillors in the city as formal suspects in the case.

“Corruption is killing us.”
