    Currency Wars: Where Investors Are Vulnerable

    Thursday, March 21st, 2013
    By Mitchell Clark, B.Comm. for Profit Confidential

    Where Investors Are Vulnerable?The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.? The author of this quotation is Sun Tzu (544?496 BCE), a Chinese general and the author of The Art of War, the classic manual on warfare tactics.

    Eons ago, I had a summer job in golf course construction. It was tough, dirty work, but it was great to learn how a golf course gets made. There was a lot of manual labor, but to move stuff around, my boss bought Kubota tractors. We pounded the daylights out of those machines. They were tough little tractors, for sure.

    Kubota Corporation (NYSE/KUB) is, of course, a Japanese outfit. The company?s shares have been soaring on the stock market?a massive breakout after a seven-year consolidation. The entire Japanese stock market has broken out.

    Prospects for the Japanese economy are a little brighter, but the soaring Japanese stock market also has to do with the weaker yen. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants to employ massive fiscal and monetary stimulus this year and a weaker yen policy against the U.S. dollar.

    Bloomberg quoted Kubota?s President, Yasuo Masumoto,noting the company is expecting an extra 20% gain in revenues starting this fiscal year because of the yen?s drop compared to the U.S. dollar. Kubota?s stock chart is featured below:

    KUB Kubota corp stock market chart

    Chart courtesy of www.StockCharts.com

    Kubota is pining to get into big tractors (those used in agriculture), and management is targeting the U.S. market big-time. Such an outspoken and decisive new policy to weaken the yen versus the U.S. dollar, to sell more tractors, to boost the stock market and everything else, is 100% political.

    The U.S. dollar index recently broke out to the upside, but its long-term downtrend is pronounced. Governments around the world are doing anything to bring growth to their economies. One of the worst culprits is China, but they don?t care.

    Planned currency devaluations against the U.S. dollar are happening now in Venezuela and Argentina. Russia is banging on the table about weakening the ruble, and Thailand is placing political pressure on its central bank to lower interest rates to help exporters. (See ?Two Emerging Markets Stomping U.S. Growth.?) Japan?s move was extremely bold.

    There is no other market manipulation worse than currencies. And the U.S. dollar is the main target. So-called currency wars are serious business, and the political manipulation they manifest is contagion-causing. The U.S. dollar has a lot of problems, but it?s still the reserve currency. This is why foreign currency debasement is such a serious threat. And the stock market is vulnerable, too.

    Everything is vulnerable with currency instability. Food costs, energy, incomes, the stock market?your entire pocketbook; and it can happen quickly. Long-term currency movements are easier to deal with. It?s the short-term moves against the U.S. dollar that are really destabilizing.

    The stock market is looking healthy these days, but currency wars are a growing risk. How can you protect yourself? Be extremely conservative with your investments. Is there anything you can really do about it? No.

    How do you type on the iPhone: Portrait or landscape? [Poll]

    How do you type on the iPhone: Portrait or landscape? [Poll]

    Last night we asked you how you grip the iPhone while typing, and tonight we're continuing our typing series by asking you about your orientation -- portrait or landscape?

    Apple says they designed the iPhone with one-handed ease of use in mind, and maybe that's why it took them until iOS 3 to make landscape mode persistent across most of the built-in apps. But for a lot of people, the extra-wide, Cadillac-style typing experience of landscape is exactly what they want, number of hands it takes to hold and use it be damned.

    For others, it might depend on the app. Portrait for on the go or quick stuff, landscape for speed-texting or longer-form writing.

    When you want to get your type on, which orientation do you hold your iPhone? Portrait or landscape?

    Blood levels of fat cell hormone may predict severity of migraines

    Tuesday, March 19, 2013

    In a small, preliminary study of regular migraine sufferers, scientists have found that measuring a fat-derived protein called adiponectin (ADP) before and after migraine treatment can accurately reveal which headache victims felt pain relief.

    A report on the study of people experiencing two to 12 migraine headaches per month, led by researchers at Johns Hopkins, is published in the March issue of the journal Headache.

    "This study takes the first steps in identifying a potential biomarker for migraine that predicts treatment response and, we hope, can one day be used as a target for developing new and better migraine therapies," says study leader B. Lee Peterlin, D.O., an associate professor of neurology and director of headache research at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She cautioned that larger, confirmatory studies are needed for that to happen.

    Experts estimate that roughly 36 million Americans, or 12 percent of the population, suffer from debilitating migraine headaches that last four hours or longer. Migraines are defined as headaches with at least two of four special characteristics: unilateral or one-side-of-the-head occurrence; moderately to severely painful; aggravated by routine activity and of a pounding or throbbing nature. Sufferers generally also feel nauseated or are sensitive to light and sound. Women are three times as likely to get migraines as men.

    Such complicated diagnostic criteria mean that diagnosis is tricky, a fact driving efforts, Peterlin says, to find better diagnostic tools.

    For the study, Peterlin and her colleagues collected blood from 20 women who visited three headache clinics between December 2009 and January 2012 during an acute migraine attack. Blood was taken before treatment with either sumatriptan/naproxen sodium (a drug routinely given to people with migraines) or a placebo. The investigators re-drew blood at 30, 60 and 120 minutes after the study drug was given. Eleven women received the drug and nine got the placebo.

    The researchers measured blood levels of ADP, a protein hormone secreted from fat tissue and known to modulate several of the pain pathways implicated in migraine. The hormone is also implicated in sugar metabolism, insulin regulation, immunity and inflammation, as well as obesity, which is a risk factor for migraines.

    Peterlin and her colleagues looked at total adiponectin levels and two subtypes or fragments of total ADP in circulation in the blood: low molecular weight (LMW)-adiponectin and high molecular weight (HMW)-adiponectin. LMW is comprised of small fragments of ADP and it is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, while HMW is made up of larger fragments of ADP and is known to have pro-inflammatory properties. Inflammatory pathways in blood vessels in the head are at work in migraine headache.

    The researchers found that in all 20 participants when levels of LMW increased, the severity of pain decreased. When the ratio of HMW to LMW molecules increased, the pain severity increased.

    "The blood tests could predict response to treatment," Peterlin says.

    At onset of pain -- even before study drug was given ? the researchers could identify who would be a responder to treatment and who would not, as there was a greater ratio of HMW to LMW in those who would be responders as compared to those who were not.

    After study treatment changes in adiponectin were also seen. Interestingly, in those patients who reported less pain after receiving study drug to treat the migraine ? whether they got the active migraine medication or a placebo ?researchers were able to see a decrease in total levels of ADP in the blood.

    Peterlin says the findings indicate it may be possible to develop a treatment that would reduce levels of ADP or parts of adiponectin such as HMW or LMW adiponectin. She says should ADP prove to be a biomarker for migraine, it could help physicians identify who has migraine and know who is likely to respond to which type of medication. It also may help doctors make better medication choices and try alternate drugs sooner.

    Panel: Thumbs down on anthrax vaccine test in kids

    WASHINGTON (AP) ? Don't look for testing of the anthrax vaccine to begin in children any time soon.

    Controversy arose last year as experts debated whether such studies should be done to learn how to treat children in case of a bioterror attack.

    But a presidential commission says the government would have to take multiple steps ? including more safety research in young adults ? before it would be ethical to consider tests in children.

    "The safety of our children is paramount, and we have to get this precisely right," said Dr. Amy Gutmann, who chairs the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, which released its report Tuesday.

    More than a decade after the anthrax attacks, the government has a multibillion-dollar stockpile of drugs and vaccines to fight an array of threats. There's no information on whether those so-called countermeasures would work in children like they're expected to help their parents, or even what dose to use. Yet if a large attack were to occur, children undoubtedly would receive those untested products.

    Worried about how to handle an emergency, a government advisory group recommended studying the anthrax vaccine in children if independent ethics experts agreed it could be done appropriately. The Obama administration put that question to the panel.

    Tuesday's answer: Children don't gain any benefit from pre-attack research with the anthrax vaccine or other countermeasures. So the panel said such studies would be ethical only if they presented no more than minimal risk to participants ? like the risk from a routine medical check-up. Determining that would require, among other things, more testing in adults, the panel added. Something that proved safe in 18-year-olds, for example, might be a candidate to study next in 16- and 17-year-olds.

    However, the government should plan now for how it would study children who receive those treatments in the event of an attack, the panel said.

    The Health and Human Services Department, which requested the advice, said it would review the findings.
