Unemployment: BAE Confirms Plans to Cut 3,000 Jobs
BAE Systems, a giant in the defence manufacturing sector, has announced that rumours of job cuts are true. The firm will cut 3,000 jobs, focusing in the military aircraft division, across the country.
Ensuring its future
The firm gave details of its huge redundancy programme, putting an end to days of speculation by workers and analysts alike. BAE says that it must make redundancies to maintain its competitiveness.
Chief executive of BAE, Ian King, made a statement that said the company unfortunately must make the cuts to “ensure its long-term future.”

The euro area’s flagging economy: The shadow of recession
BAD news about the euro area now streams from all directions. European finance ministers flunked hard decisions on combating the debt crisis at a meeting in the Polish city of Wroclaw on September 16th and 17th and instead floated the irrelevant idea of a tax on financial transactions. Italy’s credit rating was downgraded this week by Standard & Poor’s (S&P).
In Athens, the Greek government and the troika of international institutions overseeing its austerity programme have been sparring over what else Greece needs to do to get its next, €8 billion ($11 billion) tranche of bail-out funds. Evangelos Venizelos, the Greek finance minister, complained that Greece was being “blackmailed and humiliated”, although it has little choice but to knuckle down: on September 21st, it announced measures to raise taxes, speed up public-sector lay-offs and cut some pensions. A decisio

Another Rich Guy Says He is Undertaxed While the Camera’s Running
In Shakespeare’s Hamlet the Prince of Denmark overhears his uncle, King Claudius, pray for forgiveness for the murder of his brother, Hamlet’s father:
O, what form of prayer can serve my turn?
‘Forgive me my foul murder’?
That cannot be;
Since I am still possess’d of those effects for which I did the murder;
My crown, mine own ambition and my queen.
Claudius pauses and then asks the $64,000 question:
May one be pardon’d and retain the offence?
Warren Buffett, Rick Steves, Carl Hiasson and, now, a fellow named Doug Edwards¹ apparently think so.

The rules for building the portfolio are: (1) Broad diversification. The portfolio will not make narrow sector bets such as oil sands, agriculture, natural gas or water. This one rule alone would eliminate 19 ETFs from the list. (2) Limited set of asset classes. The portfolio will focus on the traditional asset classes, i.e., cash, government bonds and stocks. Real estate will be the only alternative asset class in the portfolio. This rules out another seven ETFs that track corporate bonds, junk bonds, preferred shares, commodities etc. (3) No income products. The portfolio is assumed to be suitable for an investor in her accumulation stage and does not depend on income from the portfolio. Full Article…
