Here’s an interesting article from the NY Times not to be taken lightly. For fund managers like Corey Ribotsky and so many others, it’s worth a read, even as it offers a very pessimistic look at our financial future.
He explains how, “In many smart-money circles, listening to bears has become fashionable, especially now that doubts remain about the sustainability of the euro zone, concerns grow that the United States may slip back into recession and that even the Chinese growth engine may seize up. But to some, the popularization of extremely dire forecasts suggests that the pendulum may have swung too far.”

Certainly, anyone would enjoy being told to shop, play and eat – all while raising money for an important cause. On August 4th, 2010, this is exactly what supporters of the Children’s Medical Fund of New York, where Corey Ribotsky is the President, were able to do. On the 4th, at the Old Westbury Country Club, supporters were encouraged to enjoy playing Bridge, Mah Jong, Canasta and other games, all while supporting the Child Life Program at the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center of NY.
In addition to the many games, supporters enjoyed a delicious lunch and a chance to shop for many lovely items. This fundraiser helped to ensure the best medical attention for children on Long Island with the Children’s Medical Fund and Corey Ribotsky.

Recent research has found that “first-line therapy with zidovudine and interferon-alpha improved overall survival with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) in a retrospective study – but the benefit was limited to patients with the leukemic subtypes.” This has to be somewhat good news for those suffering from leukemia/lymphoma. Nonetheless, there is still much work to be done. And that is why it is essential that people who care support such organizations like the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), as does businessman Corey Ribotsky.

Here is a video interview well worth watching with Mark Mobius, the executive chairman for Templeton Asset Management. Here, he discusses China and investment opportunities beyond BRICS. He offers insights into smaller emerging markets that are enjoying sound growth and explains why the fears of a Chinese property crash are overblown and unnecessary.

Here is a very interesting analysis of foreign currency loans and the toll that they may be taking on Eastern Europe. The author concludes with this important statement, “There are two lessons here. One is that, despite all the pain of the last two years, many of the risks that caused the financial crisis are still lurking in the system. Second, banking regulation works only if it is applied internationally.”
