Human Rights In Last Place

Robert Amsterdam (October 23rd, 2009) Writes:
beijing_2008.gifBeijing 2008, Sochi 2014, Rio 2016: BRIC nations are having an Olympic boom.  It is an unfortunate fact, however, that the Olympic Games tend to spell trouble for civil liberties when taking place in authoritarian regimes.  One only has to look at the notorious examples of human rights infringements occurring before the Beijing event for confirmation - as Minky Worden of Human Rights Watch does in today's Washington Post.  Will the questionable property expropriations, hushing of foreign journalists and despoliation of local ecosystems familiar to Beijing also be witnessed at the Sochi Games in 2014?Why worry now about the Sochi Games? This year alone, several Russian rights activists and journalists have been killed within a few hundred miles of Sochi. ...

Today in Russian Business – August 27, 2009

Robert Amsterdam (August 27th, 2009) Writes:
Prime Minister Putin has proposed revamping the financing structure for the Sochi Olympics as a state corporation model has not proved to be wholly workable, favoring a return to the previous model used, the federal targeted program.  Inflation in Russia reached 8.1% in January-July.  Retailer Magnit's profits have skyrocketed from $65.9 million last year to $117.9 million this year, exceeding analyst predictions as its discount stores attract bargain hunting shoppers.  Central Bank data has shown that interest rates on loans to Russian companies hit a nine-month low in July.  The BBC reports on North Korean laborers working in difficult conditions in a forest in Russia's Far East for the Russian Timber Group, a company run by British businessman Peter Hambro and a Russian partner.  An article in the Washington Post suggests that GM's prevaricating over the sale of ...

Today in Russian Business – July 23, 2009

Robert Amsterdam (July 23rd, 2009) Writes:
A Chinese delegation has arrived in Moscow to discuss the closure of Cherkizovsky Market where 60,000 Chinese traders worked.  Putin has told Sberbank to continue lending, saying, 'a significant part of the (branch) network is not profitable but you cannot abandon it. This is your payment for the state support'.  Sberbank head German Gref has complained that the idea of continuing to offer loans cheaply is unrealistic.  Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak has cut another 5% from the construction costs for the 2014 Sochi Olympics.  Avtovaz may stop car manufacturing for a month starting Aug. 3 because of a sharp decrease in demand.  Gaz will receive $180 million in state aid to build a diesel engine factory.  The German government has asserted that it is still backing the Magna-Sberbank deal for Opel.  An op-ed piece ...

Bernanke Sticks to His Script

Contrarian Profits (July 22nd, 2009) Writes:

Bernanke sticks to the script…  Pound sterling comes under pressure…  China starts shopping for assets…  BRIC MarketSafe lights up the phones… And Now… Today’s Pfennig!

Good day… We had a very busy day on the desk yesterday, as our newest MarketSafe offering, based on the BRIC currencies, is making the phones ring off the hook. But while we were busy, the currency traders had another slow day as the dollar just drifted throughout the day. The return chart for the last 24 hours shows only one currency made more than a .5% move vs. the US$; and that was the South African Rand which increased .75%.

The markets were watching Ben Bernanke’s congressional testimony through most of the day, but those waiting for a surprise were disappointed. Bernanke stuck to the script which he had laid out the day before in the Wall Street Journal, and the members of the House Financial Services Committee couldn’t get

NIKE Ties Ends, Keeps Running – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (June 26th, 2009) Writes:
NIKE, Inc. (NKE) reported mixed financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended May 31, 2009. Fourth quarter results affected both top and bottom lines, mainly on account of the global economic slowdown leading to lower consumer spending and foreign exchange volatility.At the same time, NKE displayed prudent inventory management (inventory is down 3% year-over-year), and cornered another incremental slice of the market.NKE's net income dropped to $341.4 million (EPS $0.70, basic and diluted) in the reported quarter, down from the year-ago figure of $490.5 million (EPS $0.98 diluted, $1.00 basic). Similarly revenues were down 7.4% year-over-year to $4.71 billion from $5.09 billion.However the comparison is clouded since the year-ago numbers were boosted by the run-up to the European Football Championships and Olympics. Although excluding changes in currency exchange rates, net revenue was flat over the year-ago period....

Nike Still Fairly Attractive – Analyst Blog

Zacks Market Commentaries (June 26th, 2009) Writes:

Headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, Nike Inc. (NKE) is one of the largest athletic footwear and apparel makers in the world. The company recently reported mixed financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended May 31.

RA’s Daily Russian News Blast – June 8, 2009

Robert Amsterdam (June 8th, 2009) Writes:
front.jpgTODAY: Kremlin downplays hopes of START breakthrough; Belarus won't offer political support for money; Gorbachev argues need for perestroika on global level; Putin playing to the crowd, Medvedev left in the wings?; Litvinenko suspect to sit in duma; Sochi construction chief ousted The Kremlin is being 'pragmatic' and does not have 'high expectations of the outcome' of Obama's upcoming Moscow trip, saying as long as the issue of missile defense remains 'unclear', it will be unwilling to reduce its own weaponry.  Mikhail Gorbachev has penned an article in the Washington Post suggesting that the US is in need of its own perestroika.  Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko has rejected Russia's offers of a $500 million loan as it is reportedly contingent upon ...

Today in Russian Business – May 14, 2009

Robert Amsterdam (May 14th, 2009) Writes:
The ruble has soared to a four-month high as oil reaches near $60 a barrel.  Is the rally of the Russian stock market on course for a correction?  Russia's central bank has slashed its main interest rates for the second time in less than a month, and its refinancing rate by half a point to 12%.  Amurmetal, the only steelmaker in Russia's Far East, is contemplating redundancies of up to 1,600 people, a quarter of its staff, even though at a recent visit Putin assured the plant of a considerable sum in state guarantees.  Russian Railways has made a deal with two Mongolian companies on a joint venture to upgrade railways and to mine coal and copper.  Egypt, the biggest consumer of Russian wheat, has ordered that all Russian imports be seized for examination ...
