By Patrick Rial

Oct. 26 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. equities are about 40 percent above their fair value and headed for a decline as central banks pull back on quantitative easing that has pushed up asset prices, according to economist Andrew Smithers.

“Markets are very vulnerable to an end of quantitative easing,” the economist said in an interview at Bloomberg’s Tokyo office on Oct. 23. “Central banks, they’ve got to stop some time and if that happens everything will come down.”

Asset purchases have doubled the size of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet to $2.1 trillion since the start of the current financial crisis. The Bank of England has spent 175 billion-pounds ($286 billion) over the last seven months to rescue the economy.

The asset purchases, among quantitative easing measures to increase money supply, have been responsible for inflating everything from equities to commodities and real estate prices globally, Smithers said.

In “Valuing Wall Street,” his March 2000 book co-authored with economist Stephen Wright, Smithers argued that U.S. equities were grossly overvalued and should be sold. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index plunged 49 percent over 2 1/2 years from a then-record high reached that month. Smithers said he stopped buying equities in the 1990s and began purchasing them again only for a brief period during the lows of the current crisis.

Smithers based his research for the book on Tobin’s Q, an indicator of whether the market is overvaluing or undervaluing company assets compared with their replacement cost. He now uses both the Q ratio, as well as a cyclically adjusted price-to- earnings ratio compiled by Yale University’s Robert Shiller, for his estimate that U.S. shares are 40 percent overvalued.

Japan may be the world’s cheapest major market, he said, though he doesn’t forecast short-term gains from betting on the nation’s stocks.]]> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:26:47 -0400 85203 http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=85062

* By Michelle Samaad

During a visit to a records storage company in Maryland today, President Barack Obama is set to unveil a new round of lending initiatives targeted at helping small businesses.

Among the strategies to improve access to credit for small businesses, the Obama administration said it will support lending by providing lower-cost capital to small banks that present small business lending plans and to community development financial institutions that lend to small businesses in the hardest-hit rural and urban areas. CDFI credit unions would be eligible to apply.

The administration also plans to increase the maximum loan size of the SBA’s 7(a) loans from $2 million to $5 million, increase 504 loans to $5.5 million and increase the agency’s microloans from $35,000 to $50,000.

According to the White House, the President will call on Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and SBA Administrator Karen Mills to convene a conference of regulators, Congressional leaders, and small business owners to establish further steps the government can take to help small businesses access credit.

Greenwood is also a horse breeder and elected official in suburban New York.

Bail was set at $7 million each, and they were ordered to post $1 million in cash or property that was not derived from the alleged fraud. Richard D. Weinberg, a lawyer for Walsh, and Robert J. Jossen, a lawyer for Greenwood, declined to comment.

The charges were disclosed on the same day authorities announced an arrest in an unrelated investigation of James Nicholson, president and general partner of Westgate Capital, a New York City investment fund.

Authorities said Nicholson, 42, defrauded investors who had put at least $100 million into his funds since 2004. They said the fraud came to light after several investors sought to redeem their money after hearing about a more than $50 billion fraud blamed on former Nasdaq chairman Bernard Madoff.

The charges were just the latest in a series of high-profile securities fraud scandals to rock Wall Street.

Madoff is under house arrest after authorities said he confessed to his sons in early December that he ran a $50 billion pyramid scheme.

Other cases include that of Florida hedge fund Arthur Nadel, accused of bilking investors of up to $350 million, and Mark Dreier, a prominent lawyer charged with stealing $400 million in a hedge fund scam. Dreier has pleaded not guilty.

Greenwood and Walsh were identified in court papers as the owners of Greenwich, Conn.-based WG Trading Company and of Westridge Capital Management, based in Santa Barbara, California. Their operation also had offices in Manhattan and Jersey City, N.J.

The firms' clients included "charitable and university foundations, retirement and pension plans and other institutions," according to the criminal complaint.

Prosecutors allege that since the summer of 2007, $1.3 billion in illegal wire transfers were made to bank accounts held by Greenwood and Walsh's wife.

The complaint also cites an interview with an unidentified WG Trading employee who described being instructed to transfer funds to personal bank accounts.

The employee claimed the money was used for "the purchase of expensive collectible items by Greenwood, the purchase of horses by Greenwood, transfer of cash to Walsh's then-wife and ... the purchase of an apartment for Walsh's ex-wife pursuant to a divorce settlement."

The criminal investigation of Greenwood and Walsh sprang from an audit launched earlier this month by the National Futures Association, a Chicago-based regulatory agency for the U.S. futures industry.

The group suspended the pair after they refused to answer questions about a dubious series of loans between their various entities that involved more $500 million in transfers, NFA spokesman Larry Dyekman said Tuesday.

"They wouldn't cooperate at all so we had to take action," Dyekman said.

Last week, University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University sued Westridge, Greenwood and Walsh, seeking the immediate return of more than $114 million they invested.

Greenwood was elected last year as a supervisor in North Salem, New York, where press accounts say he raises horses on a 300-acre (120-hectare) farm. He once owned Old Salem Farm, a 54-acre (21-hectare) riding school and horse farm bought from Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.

The FBI made another arrest Wednesday in a third case of securities fraud.

Trader Mark Bloom, who had once worked with Greenwood and Walsh, was charged with securities fraud and was awaiting an appearance in federal court. He was accused of misappropriating millions of dollars, including to purchase a luxury Manhattan apartment.

“The U.S. economy will deteriorate into 2011 as the effects of excess consumption and the financial bubble linger,” said Daisuke Uno at Sumitomo Mitsui, a unit of Japan’s third- biggest bank. “The dollar’s fall won’t stop until there’s a change to the global currency system.”

The dollar last week dropped to the lowest in almost a year against the yen as record U.S. government borrowings and interest rates near zero sapped demand for the U.S. currency. The Dollar Index, which tracks the greenback against the currencies of six major U.S. trading partners, has fallen 15 percent from its peak this year to as low as 75.211 today, the lowest since August 2008.

The gauge is about five points away from its record low in March 2008, and the dollar is 2.5 percent away from a 14-year low against the yen.

“We can no longer stop the big wave of dollar weakness,” said Uno, who correctly predicted the dollar would fall under 100 yen and the Dow Jones Industrial Average would sink below 7,000 after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. last year. If the U.S. currency breaks through record levels, “there will be no downside limit, and even coordinated intervention won’t work,” he said.

China, India, Brazil and Russia this year called for a replacement to the dollar as the main reserve currency. Hossein Ghazavi, Iran’s deputy central bank chief, said on Sept. 13 the euro has overtaken the dollar as the main currency of Iran’s foreign reserves.

Elliott Wave

The greenback is heading for the trough of a super-cycle that started in August 1971, Uno said, referring to the Elliot Wave theory, which holds that market swings follow a predictable five-stage pattern of three steps forward, two steps back.

The dollar is now at wave five of the 40-year cycle, Uno said. It dropped to 92 yen during wave one that ended in March 1973. The dollar will target 50 yen during the current wave, based on multiplying 92 with 0.764, a number in the Fibonacci sequence, and subtracting from the 123.17 yen level seen in the second quarter of 2007, according to Uno.

The Elliot Wave was developed by accountant Ralph Nelson Elliott during the Great Depression. Wave sizes are often related by a series of numbers known as the Fibonacci sequence, pioneered by 13th century mathematician Leonardo Pisano, who discerned them from proportions found in nature.

Uno said after the dollar loses its reserve currency status, the U.S., Europe and Asia will form separate economic blocs. The International Monetary Fund’s special drawing rights may be used as a temporary measure, and global currency trading will shrink in the long run, he said.
