    Welcome and Introduction

    Over the past three and a half years, Ive

    written extensively about the global financial

    crisis, the global recession the ongoing

    sovereign debt crisis, currency wars and the

    impending fall of the euro.

    Back in January of 2009, I wrote a widely

    published piece titled, Why It Could Be

    Curtains for the Euro. In that piece, I pointed

    to the many flaws that had been exposed in

    Europes single currency concept, following the

    eruption of the global economic crisis.

    It was clear that when economies in Europewere put under stress, when the global

    economic crisis unfolded, and global investors

    started scrutinizing the balance sheets and

    fiscal position of countries, the weak countries

    in Europe were in trouble. And it was clear

    that it was going to be very bad news for the

    euro currency.

    Indeed, when the skirt was lifted in Europe, it

    was found that many countries within the euro

    zone had structurally unsustainable

    economies, designed to take advantage of a

    stable currency and stable, low interest rates

    that had been anchored by their strongest

    partners in the euro zone, Germany and France.

    When the markets finally began demanding

    interest rates to compensate them for the risk of

    holding debt in a country with uber-high

    debt levels and massive budget deficits thats

    when the euros demise was set into motion.

    I warned of this very early on, and warned of

    the threats the euro represented to the global

    economy. As the worlds second most widely

    held currency, which is tied to the largest

    aggregate economy in the world -- the euro zone

    clearly, the reverberations of a euro demise

    would be very bad news for the global economy.

    But all along, the politicians, influential

    economists, Wall Street figure heads and

    government leaders, not only didnt see it

    coming, but actually touted the euro as the

    candidate to replace the dollar as the worlds

    reserve currency.

    With that in mind, given the poor advice

    thats been distributed to investors in such a

    critical time in history, its never been more

    Important to educate yourself on the challenges

    facing the world. And a big one is the euro.

    -Milton

    Friedman

    Its easy to lose perspective on where the global economy

    stands, to be confused by the daily deluge of information.

    So I want to give you some perspective on the big-picture,

    and where we are today. Because as an investor the big-

    picture is critical for you. It can mean the difference

    between making and losing a lot of money.

    First, during this economic crisis, we endured the sharpest

    fall in global economic activity since the Great Depression,

    and one of the most threatening financial crises. Yet allalong the way, markets, politicians and policymakers were

    expecting, or rather hoping, for a quick return to

    normalcy. But its all been based false hope and naive

    expectations.

    Heres why

    The IMF has done what is perhaps one of the most

    thorough studies on recessions that share the

    combination of a global recession and financial crisis like

    the one weve experienced.

    And the IMFs study shows that the recoveries of past

    recessions with these dualities (global recession and

    financial crisis) tend to be longer and slower than normal

    recoveries.

    Moreover, theres a very important study that has been

    done on historical financial crises. It was done by aHarvard economist, Kenneth Rogoff and a Maryland

    economist, Carmen Reinhart. These two compiled the

    most extensive database of this type of crisis and they

    found striking commonalities in the aftermath.

    First, they found in studying over eight centuries of

    financial crises, that they tend to be followed by

    A Study of

    sovereign debt crises. And sovereign debt

    crises tend to be contagious.

    Given this analysis, we should expect a

    sovereign debt contagion. And we should

    expect defaults.

    Rogoff and Reinhart presented this analysis as

    early as 2008. And its been nothing less than

    a playbook for the way this global crisis has

    played out.

    Reinhart went on to look at the 15 severe

    financial crises since World War II and found

    that they were typically driven by credit

    bubbles. And the credit buildup typically took

    as long to de-lever as it took to build.

    Credit Buildups and Deleveraging of Debt

    Are Long Cycles

    In the current case, the credit build was about

    a decade. If you mark the start of the crisis as

    2007, that means were just half way through

    the deleveraging phase. And deleveraging

    tends to mean ultra-slow economic activity as

    consumers, businesses and governments are

    paying down debt, not spending.

    So those that have been looking for recoveryat every corner, are not in touch with the

    magnitude of this global economic crisis.

    Reinharts research also suggested that

    throughout this 10-year deleveraging period:

    1) Economic growth will trend at lower levels

    than pre-crisis growth, 2) Housing prices will

    2012 Logic FundManagement, Inc. All Rights

    Sovereign Debt Crisis is Just Getting Started

    Next Stage: Defaults

    remain anywhere from 20 percent to 50

    percent below peak levels, and 3)

    unemployment will hover around 5 percent

    higher than pre-crisis levels.

    While this might be news to you, its not news

    to policymakers. After fumbling through the

    first two years of the crisis, global central

    bankers took notice of this analysis back in

    2010. Thats why Bernanke rolled out a

    second round of quantitative easing, despitethe intense scrutiny and claims that a massive

    wave of inflation was coming. It didnt

    happen. In fact deflation remains the bigger

    threat for all the reasons Rogoff and

    Reinhart discovered in their research.

    Thats why we should all expect more

    economic shocks to come. And the sovereign

    debt crisis will end in defaults. And history

    shows it will be contagious.

    The Four Stages of Sovereign Debt Crises

    Stage #1: Burgeoning Deficits

    In a financial crisis government spending

    increases dramatically in attempts to stabilize

    the financial system and stimulate economic

    activity. Tax revenues fall. Fiscal surplusesturn into deficits and economies with

    existing deficits keep piling it on.

    How its playing out

    All of the Emus members were (many still

    are) guilty of runaway spending.

    10/24

    2012 Logic FundManagement, Inc. All Rights

    Sovereign Debt Crisis is Just Getting Started

    Next Stage: DefaultsAll sixteen members of the European

    monetary union have violated treaty limits on

    allowable budget deficits some to the tuneof more than four times as much! Moreover,

    the leading economies of the world have all

    seen their deficits shoot higher, some to

    record levels.

    In fact, the deficit spending thats gone on in

    recent years can be summed up as follows:

    Over 40 percent of world GDP comes from

    countries that are running deficits in excess of10 percent.

    Stage #2: Ballooning Debt

    When economies are contracting or even

    growing slowly, bringing these deficits back

    down to earth becomes an unenviable

    challenge. Governments have to make ends

    meet by turning to the markets. Then those

    burgeoned deficits turn into growing debt

    loads.

    How its playing out

    When debt reaches 80 percent of GDP

    When debt reaches 80 percent of

    GDP threshold, the borrowing costs for

    governments starts ticking higher and so does

    the market scrutiny. The IMF says five of thetop seven developed countries in the world

    will have debt levels exceeding 100 percent of

    GDP in the next few years.

    Stage #3: Downgrades

    When deficits and debts rise and economic

    activity appears unlikely to curtail fiscal

    problems, the credit worthiness of the

    government falls under intense scrutiny. Andthats when we see downgrades.

    How its playing out

    Both Greece and Portugals sovereign debt

    rating has been downgraded to junk status.

    The US has lost its AAA status. France has

    lost its AAA status. Spain has lost its AAA

    rating and Germanys top rating has beenthreatened.

    Stage #4: Defaults

    This is the final and most deadly stage.

    Thats because downgrades only make the

    vicious cycle of weak economic activity and

    growing dependence on debt worse.

    When investors see more risk, they require

    more return. Therefore, the borrowing costs

    for these troubled countries rise. Then it

    becomes harder to finance spending needs

    and harder to finance existing debt. And

    thats when we see defaults.

    How its playing out

    Greece is on its second round of life supportfor the EU/IMF. And its debt holders are

    getting less than 30 cents on the dollar back

    on their investments the same debt that

    was stamped as A-rated just three years ago!

    And while many are waiting to wave the all-

    clear signal for Europe, it doesnt stop with

    Greece. Expect Portugal and Ireland to

    come calling for debt relief next.

    Famed Economist Milton Friedman predicted, shortly

    before 2000, that the euro-member countries would

    succumb to systematic flaws and fail within ten years.

    He might not have been too far off.

    He said:

    A one size fits all monetary policy doesnt give the

    member countries the flexibility needed to stimulatetheir economies.

    A fractured fiscal policy forced to adhere to rigid EU

    rules doesnt enable member governments to navigate

    their country-specific problems, such as deficit spending

    and public works projects.

    Nationalism will emerge. Healthier countries will not

    see fit to spend their hard earned money to bail out

    their less responsible neighbors.

    A common currency can act as handcuffs in perilous

    times. Exchange rates can be used as a tool to revalue

    debt and improve competitiveness of ones economy.

    I want to focus on these four bullets. What did

    Friedman mean?

    Bullet #1

    What did Friedman mean when he called the euro zone

    monetary policy one size fits all? Put simply, the

    member countries in the EMU cant cool down their

    economy, nor stimulate it as needed when they have

    no direct power over monetary policy.

    This is a key fundamental problem for European Monetary

    Union members. The fact is, their economies may be, and will

    likely be, operating at different speeds from one another.

    Therefore, whats good monetary policy for Germany, could be

    bad monetary policy for Spain. Yet, through the European

    Central Bank, there is one central power over interest rate

    setting policy. And they will tend to set that policy based on

    how the bigger, stronger economies are behaving.

    What tends to happen, in this case, is that countries that are

    performing poorly, without the luxury of cutting interest rates,

    will find other ways to stimulate their economies. And they do

    so through fiscal policies, like cutting taxes and increasing

    government spending.

    Typically, there is a natural economic mechanism that keepsthese fiscal policies in check: Its called the financial markets.

    When countries cut too much and spend too much,

    threatening their solvency or financial position, global investors

    penalize them by selling their currency and selling their

    government bonds. After all, who wants to invest in a country

    that may not be able to generate enough revenue to pay their

    bills and pay you back.

    With that, when the currency falls and government interest

    rates rise, it makes it more expensive to trade and more

    expensive to borrow.

    In the case of the EMU members, they never had that penalty,

    until recently.

    They found that they could keep pushing their economies

    along through very liberal fiscal policies, and never suffer

    consequences. Because the markets continually valued the

    euro currency and euro zone interest rates based on the

    strongest euro zone countries: France and Germany.

    Bullet #2

    So given the discussion above on the incentive for countries to

    use (possibly abuse) fiscal policies to stimulate economic

    13

  • 8/2/2019 Curtains for the Euro

    14/24

    activity, the European

    officials that conceived the

    monetary union built in

    limits on the extent to which

    countries could spend or

    carry debt. They limited

    budget deficits to 3% of GDP.

    And they set a ceiling on how

    much debt a member

    country could have at 60% of

    GDP.

    That may sound good

    policing procedures on

    paper, but in fact, it creates

    more problems. It further

    handcuffs these membercountries.

    2012 Logic FundManagement, Inc. All Rights

    When a country is in recession, deficit spending and government spending can be an

    effective way to achieve economic recovery. And they may need to run a bigger deficit

    for a period of time to bridge the downturn in their economic cycle i.e. until the

    economy naturally returns to organic growth.

    These limits set in the EMU rule book, the Maastricht Treaty, in theory, restricted a

    countries ability to work through these economic downturns using fiscal policy. That

    creates more problems, as Friedman forecasted.

    Bullet #3

    Given bullets one and two countries within the monetary union are bound to run into

    economic problems. And Friedman argued that the citizens of stronger countries would

    have a hard time parting with spending their money to bailout weaker member

    countries.

    Bullet #4

    Finally, the easiest way to solve indebtedness and a weak economy is through currency

    devaluation. It inflates away the debt and makes exporting easier typically a key driver

    in emerging from recession. But members of the euro dont have that tool. The

    common currency is, like monetary policy, out of the control of country governments.

    The Culprit? The euro

    The Problems in

    the Euro Zone AreAll Rooted in the

    Single Currency:

    The Euro!

    The euro-member countries are in trouble for

    all of the reasons Milton Friedman, one of the

    most influential economists of the 20th century,

    cited prior to that currencys inception over

    twelve years ago.

    The global recession and financial crisis has

    resulted in ballooning debt levels and growing

    budget deficits for nearly all major economies.

    And typically, when countries find they cant

    pay, they have two options: Either a currency

    devaluation to reduce the value of debt OR an

    outright default.

    Neither will work with weak EMU countries

    after all, they share a currency with 15other countries (now 16). So currency

    devaluation is not a tool at their disposal. That

    makes an outright default by a troubled euro-

    member the most practical option. But its NOT

    an option, at least not an option the euro zone

    members can consider for reasons Ill cover a

    bit later.

    For now, the euro zone officials have createdoption #3: pour money into these weak

    countries to keep them breathing and then

    attempt to force all member countries into a

    fiscal union where fiscal policy is managed at

    a central level.

    But fiscal union is an unimaginable step. It

    would entail all members to give up their

    sovereignty, their history, their rich cultures and

    heritage. The result would be a United States of

    Europe, where government, monetary and fiscal

    policy would all be made in Brussels and likely

    led by the strongest countries Germany and

    France.

    And it would mean transferring wealth from

    the stronger euro zone countries to the weaker

    ones.

    Its Not About Greece; Its

    All About the Banks

    Dont think for a minute that European officials have been

    going to such extreme measures as they have in the pasttwo years because they care about Greece. They dont.

    They first responded because they cared deeply about

    defending the euro. They arrogantly thought they could

    convince the markets that they would plow some money

    into Greece and scare the bond market vigilantes away,

    those investors that were dumping bonds in the weak euro

    zone countries and driving up the yields on government

    bonds to dangerous levels. By promising to give Greecemoney they hoped the bond sellers would go away, and

    therefore the threat to the euros existence would go

    away. But it didnt work.

    And in May 2010, we got a clear message from Europe just

    how desperate the situation was there. Thats when the

    powers of Europe gathered to determine a game-plan for

    dealing with Greece. The European Union, the IMF and the

    ECB could have backed away and let the country pull-out

    of the monetary union and go on with its business of

    mending itself through currency and debt devaluation.

    But they didnt do that!

    Instead, in perhaps the most shocking development in the

    entire global financial crisis, they vowed to rip up the

    rulebook that the European monetary union was built

    upon. They vowed to use taxpayer money of the stronger

    countries to support the fiscally irresponsible weaker

    countries to the tune of 750 billion euros.

    That was a jaw-dropping move that completely

    contradicted the guiding principles of the European

    Monetary Union. When they made the decision to take

    tax payer money from the likes of Germany and give it to

    Greece, the politicians effectively tore up the Constitution

    right then, right there.

    Moreover, the ECB got involved breaking the rules

    of the central bank by buying sovereign debt in

    these insolvent countries, in turn putting their own

    solvency at risk.

    They didnt go to such extreme measures because

    they really cared about saving the likes of Greece,

    Portugal and Ireland (and even Spain). They did so

    because they had to!

    You see, when the world was in the depths of the

    financial crisis, global central banks were doing

    anything and everything they could to stimulate.

    The ECB, for its part, was offering up unlimited

    funds to its European banks for a paltry 1 percent

    nterest. The stated purpose was to keep credit

    flowing in its economy. However, the banks werent

    ending to consumers and businesses; they were

    ending to the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece

    and Spain), to push down the borrowing rates in

    those insolvent countries.

    The struggling countries were happy. They were

    able to borrow at reasonable rates, even though

    they were maintaining massive budget deficits and

    burgeoning debt loads

    The banks were happy. They were borrowing at 1

    percent and lending at juicy yields

    And the ECB was happy, because it was aiding the

    struggling countries through the back-door

    maintaining adherence to its guiding principles and

    keeping its appearance as staunchly independent.

    But finally, market participants took notice and went

    on attack, selling the government bonds of the

    weak euro members. Consequently sending

    borrowing rates for these countries soaring.

    The REAL Risk in EuropeSystemic Fallout

    That exposed their spiraling deficits, AND

    as it turns out, the flaws of the greater

    European monetary union.

    So when the decision had to be made by

    European officials and the IMF, back in

    May 2010, to let Greece go or go all-in

    the choice was obvious.

    They had to go all-in, because the

    European banks were loaded with Greek

    debt. If Greece had fallen, the other weak

    countries would have fallen, putting $2trillion worth of European bank exposure

    to the PIGS countries on course for

    massive write downs and triggering

    another financial crisis.

    With that, the European sovereign debt

    crisis isnt a Europe problem, its a global

    problem.

    The failure of the PIIGS countries, indeed,

    would create another wave of global

    financial crisis.

    surrounding the failure of Lehman Brothers in 2008

    was, this will give you a quick reminder of just howinterconnected the financial system is globally.

    The size of the circles represents each bank

    nationalitys share of the total global banking

    system, in terms of bank to bank claims. The

    thickness of the arrows represents the size of those

    claims with foreign banks.

    The REAL Risk in EuropeSystemic Fallout

    Ultimately the chart shows that all banks

    around the world are heavily exposed to

    failing foreign banking institutions.

    Its the ECB Too

    Its not just European banks, but the

    European Central Bank is also at risk of

    failing.

    A European think-tank, Open Europe,

    estimate the ECB is 23 to 24 times

    leveraged.

    When Lehman

    Brothers failed it was

    30 times leveraged.

    If a contagion of

    defaults or

    restructurings does

    take place, and the

    ECB is forced to take

    losses on the

    sovereign debt of the

    weak euro zone

    countries, the ECB

    could become

    insolvent itself.

    If that happens expect

    another wave ofglobal financial crisis,

    bigger than the first,

    where markets trade

    in two tiers: Risky and

    safe.

    Europe is

    composed of

    separate nations,

    speak differentlanguages, have

    different customs,

    and have far

    greater loyalty to

    their own countrythan to the

    common market

    or the idea of

    Europe

    -Milton Friedman

    Every step of the way through this global economic

    crisis the shocks have been thought to be contained.

    But theyve proven time after time to be just the

    opposite: Contagious!

    Thats been the case with sovereign debt problems

    in Europe once said to be contained and now

    known to be systemic. And its proving to be thecase with public uprisings, too. It started in the

    Middle East, and nowits finally spreading through

    Europe.

    Weve seen these uprisings across Europe to fight

    the tough austerity measures that have been

    imposed, in many cases, by politicians from other

    countries or global organizations, like the IMF.

    The people are finally standing up against what

    promises to be a long road of economic depression

    especially those in Greece, Ireland and Portugal,

    all of which have taken direct bailout money and are

    now dealing with the massive job losses,

    government spending cuts and tax hikes associated

    with taking money from its EU neighbors and the

    IMF.

    To be sure, the politicians will keep this game goingof floating these insolvent countries as long as

    possible. And they will continue to use their power

    over these countries to attempt to force them into a

    fiscal union unifying Europe into a United States.

    But at some point, the people will say enough is

    enough keep your money and keep your euro.

    Friedman said, Nationalism will emerge. Healthier

    countries will not see fit to spend their hard-earned

    money to bail out their less responsible neighbors.

    And weaker countries will not see fit to give up their

    sovereignty to help save vulnerable European banks

    and a single currency that has left them handcuffed.

    The Euro is at the core of all the sovereign debt

    problems in Europe. The easiest way to address a

    government debt problem is with the currency.

    Devalue the currency, inflate away the debt and geton the road to recovery.

    The most palatable option for the likes of Greece,

    Portugal and Ireland: outright default. Defaulting,

    leaving the euro and re-adopting their own currency

    would allow them to devalue their debt and start

    rebuilding.

    The alternative is giving up their sovereignty and

    fighting through years if not decades of economicdepression.

    I think the people will vote for the former. And they

    will likely express their vote by overthrowing their

    governments and then kicking the IMF and EU

    officials out.

    Thats when the game of kick the can down the road

    in Europe will come to an end. And that will likelymean the end of the euro or at least in the form

    that we know it.

    And while its true that European banks are on the

    hook for the lions share of the risk from a default of

    a country in Europe, the Lehman crisis made it

    abundantly clear that a major bank failure has acute

    global consequences.

    Dear Investor,

    If there is one thing thats been clear throughout the duration of this global

    economic crisis, its that average investors have been given bad information and bad

    advice all along the way.

    In short, its exposed the Wall Street machine for what it is a mechanism to soak

    money from the masses, for the enrichment of few.

    Its exposed the financial media as tabloid-like operations, more concerned withcreating great headlines than they are about communicating facts.

    And its exposed government leadership as ill-prepared, inexperienced and nave, in

    handling the worst economic period of our lifetimes.

    The net effect of those three sources of poor guidance and mis-information has been

    wealth destruction for average investors. For the many investors that lost in the

    stock market collapse, its meant insult to injury.

    Ive always thought to myself, there has to be a better way. Thats led me to create

    focus on one thing: intelligent investing.
