So good markets, bad economies," Monson said. The money generated from such moves isn't filtering through to the economy, but is helping to boost the major asset classes, according to Monson. "So you'll pump money in Japan or you'll pump money in the U.S. and it will pop up in companies that are receiving earnings and income streams from the East," he said. The investment brought about by liquidity measures seems to be breaking through the "porous barrier" of banks and reaching the wider market, he added. However, the quantitative easing won't result in more bank lending because of the lack of demand, according to Monson.

Big US cities could be squeezed by unfunded public pensions as they and counties face a $574 billion funding gap, a study to be released on Tuesday shows. The financial demands of unfunded pension promises come as state and local governments grapple with years of falling tax revenue related to the recession. The combination has raised concern that defaults, which are historically rare in the $2,800 billion municipal bond market where local governments obtain money, could now rise.

Michigan has 37 in its program; New Jersey has seven; Illinois, Rhode Island and California each have at least one. This is on top of troubled housing, power and hospital authorities. The increasingly common pleas for state assistance — after two relatively quiet decades — reflect the yawning local budget deficits that have appeared in the last two years.

CNBC - One in 371 U.S. households received a foreclosure notice in September. (Foreclosure notices are defined as a default notice, auction sale notice or bank repossession.) Bank repossessions, the final step in the foreclosure process after a home fails to sell at auction, reached a record high of 102,134. It was the first time that bank repossessions have surpassed the 100,000 mark since RealtyTrac began collecting data in 2005. The latest foreclosure moratoriums are not reflected in the data yet, said Rick Sharga, senior vice president of RealtyTrac. “They happened too late to have a material effect on September numbers,” he said. RealtyTrac expects to see a dip in bank repossessions in the coming months, and possibly in the early stages of the foreclosure process as well, and then a rise again as the halt is ended. "These loans will not escape foreclosure," said Sharga. "We’re just delaying the inevitable." Sharga said that a prolonged halt on foreclosures could affect the entire housing market and home prices. Foreclosures make up 30 percent of home sales, and taking those sales out of the equation “could knock the stilts out of the housing market,” he said.

TOKYO (Market Watch) -- Private investors hold about 30,000 tonnes of gold, according to the consultancy GFMS – more than a sixth of the world’s gold and, for the first time in modern history, more than central banks. Investors are piling money into gold in record quantities, pushing the price on Friday to a record nominal high of more than $1,320 a troy ounce. That has made the vaulting business highly lucrative, since banks often charge a small percentage of the value of the gold stored. The vault reopened by JPMorgan last month joins a handful of others in Manhattan, including those owned by HSBC and the Bank of Nova Scotia, and the largest gold depository, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s facility, which holds reserves from 36 countries . The surge in demand for physical gold has been underpinned by the emergence of exchange-traded funds that are backed by bullion.

Almost by definition, unsustainable trajectories of deficits and debts will never actually transpire, because creditors would never be willing to lend to a country in which the fiscal debt relative to the national income is rising without limit. Herbert Stein, a wise economist, once said, “If something cannot go on forever, it will stop.” One way or the other, fiscal adjustments sufficient to stabilize the federal budget will certainly occur at some point. The only real question is whether these adjustments will take place through a careful and deliberative process that weighs priorities and gives people plenty of time to adjust to changes in government programs or tax policies, or whether the needed fiscal adjustments will be a rapid and painful response to a looming or actual fiscal crisis.  There is no way around it – meeting these challenges will require policymakers and the public to make some very difficult decisions and to accept some sacrifices. But history makes clear that countries that continually spend beyond their means suffer slower growth in incomes and living standards and are prone to greater economic and financial instability.  If current policy settings are maintained, and under reasonable assumptions about economic growth, the federal budget will be on an unsustainable path in coming years, with the ratio of federal debt held by the public to national income rising at an increasing pace. Moreover, as the national debt grows, so will the associated interest payments, which in turn will lead to further increases in projected deficits.

Ultra-loose monetary policies by the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank are throwing the world into "chaos" rather than helping the global economic recovery, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said on Tuesday. A "flood of liquidity" from the Fed and the ECB is bringing instability to foreign-exchange markets, forcing countries such as Japan and Brazil to defend its exporters, Stiglitz told reporters in a conference at Columbia University. "The irony is that the Fed is creating all this liquidity with the hope that it will revive the American economy," Stiglitz said. "It's doing nothing for the American economy, but it's causing chaos over the rest of the world. It's a very strange policy that they are pursuing."

Officials have also suggested Manning may have been involved in the much larger leak of Afghan War secrets last week.

Essentially, officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications -- including encrypted e-mail transmitters such as BlackBerry, social networking websites such as Facebook and software that allows direct "peer-to-peer" messaging such as Skype -- to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order.

They say the expanded financial data would allow anti-terrorist agencies to better understand normal money-flow patterns so they can spot abnormal activity. Financial institutions are now required to report to the Treasury Department transactions in excess of $10,000 and others they deem suspicious. The new rule would require banks to disclose even the smallest transfers.

In Michigan, at least 38 of the 83 counties have converted some asphalt roads to gravel in recent years. Last year, South Dakota turned at least 100 miles of asphalt road surfaces to gravel. Counties in Alabama and Pennsylvania have begun downgrading asphalt roads to cheaper chip-and-seal road, also known as "poor man's pavement." Some counties in Ohio are simply letting roads erode to gravel. The moves have angered some residents because of the choking dust and windshield-cracking stones that gravel roads can kick up, not to mention the jarring "washboard" effect of driving on rutted gravel.
