Performance Trading Concepts » Michael Krash's Trading Biography
I started to learn about trading, global business, the world economy and how typical country economies operate in September of 2007.
After many years of research and observation, I finally decided to take action as I had finally had enough of being broke. Being a welder in Las Vegas was not fulfilling my intense interest in world markets and afforded me no time to follow my passion. I knew about the potential of markets and about the huge potential to make good money by applying what I knew.
I finally decided to do something about that and in Sept. 07 I decided to take the step. One day I turned on CNBC and despite its many biases and shortcomings I was able to see the forest for the trees and continued to glean all of the market information I could absorb on a daily and nightly basis, for as many hours a day as I could possibly manage. I've spent night and day since then learning everything I possibly could about finances, trading, business etc. I am still learning, but have advanced to a level parallel to Mount Everest and the view is nothing short of breathtaking! My goal is to effectively communicate and share my view with my subscribers, so that they too can enjoy the view!
I think I have reached the level shared by only the top 10% of traders, ("10%-er"), however I leave that determination for my viewers/subscribers to contemplate.

*Buy the Euro and the Swiss Franc in 2012: Jim Rogers-Published: Tuesday, 3 Jan 2012 | 4:31 AM ET
http://www.cnbc.com/id/45854214
Asked how well his fund performed in 2011, Rogers said that he is “still able to pay his bills” and that the fund had fared better than it had the previous year.
" The euro and the Swiss franc will be smart currency plays in 2012, Jim Rogers, the billionaire investor and author, told CNBC Tuesday.Rogers, who recommended buying the euro, which has since fallen in value, in an appearance on CNBC in November, said that he was thinking about buying more euros after selling some in recent weeks, as hedge funds unwind their short positions in the currency. “I suspect (German Chancellor Angela Merkel) and that crowd will do something to make us feel better,” he added. "
Is this guy serious about buying the euro? He says,"I sold some Euro's,but I'm going to buy more." Why would you sell some if you believe it's going up in value? Then he says,"A Lot of Governments will Print Money in 2012." Does he also mean the ECB,and if not then what makes him think the ECB will not print money? They will be the one to print money first. This will dilute the value of the euro,which means it will move lower in value. In my opinion,I think he doesn't fully understand the situation and doesn't know what to do and is trading on hope.

This is very interesting, and leads me to think of two reasons. One would be, they don't believe that they will have a debt issue like Europe and the U.S.A. had and this will back fire on them. Or two, once the debt issue is establish,they want to accelerate the deflation process.Which tells me that they know they will have a debt issue and are trying to conceal this fact at this moment. In my opinion, This sounds like they are preparing for deflation.
* China Set to Bolster Short Selling-Published: Wednesday, 4 Jan 2012 | 6:17 PM ET
http://www.cnbc.com/id/45876823
" China is poised to unveil measures to bolster the country’s nascent short-selling industry in an effort to deepen its capital markets, according to securities officials and fund managers.Beijing will create a new body called the Centralised Securities Lending Exchange to facilitate short selling as early as this quarter. China Securities Regulatory Commission, the market regulator, will be the largest shareholder in the body, which was first mooted last year.Short sellers sell borrowed shares in the hope of reaping a profit by buying the equivalent securities back later at a lower price and returning them to the lender.The practice has been curbed in some markets on the grounds it can exacerbate volatility, and Beijing has care to retain control of its introduction and development. Defenders of the practice say it increases liquidity and provides income for shareholders who are willing to lend their securities.China embraced short selling in 2010, but efforts to promote its use have been hampered by the limited number of shares available for qualified asset managers to borrow.

"China's biggest commercial banks face systemic risks if a combination of credit, property, currency and yield curve shocks that could be withstood in isolation were to occur together, the International Monetary Fund warned on Tuesday.But China can contain these dangers by freeing up financial markets to give investors, commercial banks and the central bank greater autonomy from government control, the fund said in its first-ever review of the Chinese financial system.While not predicting an imminent disaster, the IMF made clear China needed to act quickly because it is vulnerable to destabilizing asset price booms."

*Funds Expect Surge of Bad Loans in China-Published: Wednesday, 28 Dec 2011 | 7:19 PM ET
http://www.cnbc.com/id/45809794
" Foreign and domestic distressed debt funds expect a big supply of bad loans to come on to the market in China after at least five years in which banks largely sat on their portfolios of troubled loans.Executives at Clearwater Capital, a Hong Kong-based fund, and at Guangzhou-based Shoreline Capital say Chinese lenders must dispose of existing bad loans to prepare for a new batch of non-performing debt, stemming from the credit binge Beijing encouraged following the global financial crisis.“Now that there is a new flow of bad loans, the banks have to dispose of their legacy loan problem,” says Ben Fanger, co-founder of Shoreline. “Deals being offered to Shoreline are at prices that are lower, on average, than in recent years. We are now having meaningful dialogues again. "
" The extent to which Chinese banks deal with their problem loans provides clues to the health of the economy generally. By cleaning up their balance sheets, the Chinese banks will make room for new lending and financial experts suggest that any sign that China is dealing with bad debts in a commercial way is reassuring for future growth and the investment climate generally. "
" China’s big banks are under pressure to sell their non-performing loans because they face tougher reporting requirements after listing in Hong Kong. Moreover, Chinese banking regulators believe the banks are underreporting their problem loans and have urged lenders to double their capital cushions. "
" While nobody can calculate the potential supply, the way China revved up its credit machine in 2009 suggests the figure could be substantial. Morgan Stanley reckons Chinese banks lent more than $4.1 trillion in the two years from the end of 2008. Total credit estimates rise to $5.7 trillion when flows outside formal bank lending channels are included.The credit boom came to an end earlier this year as Beijing started raising interest rates to rein in inflation and an overheated property market. However, last month it eased monetary policy slightly amid fears that economic growth was slowing and that the Chinese manufacturing sector was taking an unexpectedly big hit from a decline in foreign orders, while inflation has been on a downward trend. "
" Estimates vary widely on the amount of bad loans in China. While Chinese regulators in March put the figure at less than $500 billion, Fitch, the rating agency, estimates non-performing loans exceed $2 trillion. That amount can only swell as Chinese manufacturers receive fewer overseas orders because of the euro zone crisis and a weak economic recovery in the US. "

*China Uncovers Massive Irregularities in Local Government Debt-Published: Wednesday, 4 Jan 2012 | 2:17 AM ET
http://www.cnbc.com/id/45865642
" China has uncovered 530 billion yuan ($84.21 billion) worth of irregularities with local government debt, the National Audit Office said on Wednesday.An audit report, published on China's central government website, reveals some of the problems investment analysts had believed to lay beneath the 10.7 trillion mountain of debt that local governments had amassed by the end of 2010.The report, conducted for the 2010 budget year, found problems including 46.5 billion yuan worth of "irregular credit guarantees", 73.2 billion yuan worth of loans secured against irregular collateral, 35.1 billion yuan spent on stocks, houses and polluting plants and 132 billion yuan worth of expenditure not made by its approved deadline."A fifth problem is the fraudulent and underpayment of registered capital in financing vehicles, which amounted to 244.15 billion yuan," the report said.
