Readers interested in preserving capital through awareness of significant events are invited to link published articles from mainstream or alternative media in this space, and discuss them as you wish.

Strong econ calendar today that can move markets. There will be lots of talk about Wage costs and productivity; Factory orders; and the ISM non-manufacturing data.

Richest 2 pct own more than half the world: study

Social equity at work - for the top 2-percent!

"And it found that net assets of $2,200 per adult would put a household in the top half of the world wealth distribution"

Amazing! One has to wonder what the "net assets" is for the lower half and what they are doing to survive...

Oratier,

Telestar3d,

Not only in America, the research report indicates...

"Wealth is heavily concentrated in North America, Europe and high income Asia-Pacific countries. People in these countries collectively hold almost 90 percent of total world wealth,"

Mr Buffet, my favorite capitalist/philanthropist, is right on the mark with his comment!
