    Greece Could Be Trip-wire For Double-dip Recession

    Simon Johnson, Senior Fellow at the Peterson Institute and former Economics expert at the International Monetary Fund, dropped THAT bomb on Fox Business during Thursday's "Countdown to the Closing Bell." I've been hassling you all to pay attention to what happens in Europe because it could very well be the next subprime disaster du jour.  The so-called "PIIGS" nations--- Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain-- have spent too much and borrowed too much and now the debt they've been carrying is showing severe signs of distress.   Could the long fingers of debt reach all the way across the Atlantic to scratch us ... read more

    Why Dubai? Bloomingdale's CEO to FBN: Dubai Debt Problems Don't Scare Us

    Of all the places on the planet to open your first retail store *outside* the U.S., would you pick Dubai? It looked like a brilliant bet back in 2008 when Bloomingdale's announced it would open its first international location in the Middle East's version of Las Vegas: Dubai.  Who knew that just a year later the emirate would come close to defaulting on billions of debt only to be saved by a bailout from neighboring Abu Dhabi. In 2008, Dubai was in the 5th year of a 6-year long economic boom with billions in foreign money ... read more

    'It's a GOOD Thing That Health Care is Off the Front Burner" Says Aetna's Ron Williams to Fox Biz Davos

    I just finished a live interview with Aetna Chairman and CEO Ron Williams. The timing couldn't have been better: President Obama had *just* finished speaking to Republicans at their retreat in Baltimore when they came to our frigid live shot in Switzerland. Williams says the pause in the very loud and sometime vicious debate on health care perhaps provides a much-needed reprieve from the hype and hysteria that's surrounded the discussion lately. People can now study the proposals, congressional staffs can delve more deeply and ... read more

    "The U.S. Will 'Never' Get Rid of the Deficit," Says Harvard's Niall Ferguson to Fox Biz Davos

    Say what?  Harvard Business School professor and author of the best-selling "The Ascent of Money" dropped that bomb on Fox Business today in Davos, Switzerland. Is he right? Is the path of voluminous spending we've gone down over the past 8 years (a big chunk of it in the last year) the road to a bottomless pit?  Ferguson was extraordinarily opinionated during our chat. He thinks Davos is very important, yet he bagged out on a panel on "Inspiring confidence in the markets and economies" in which he was scheduled to ... read more
