• The cyber security market represents a big growth opportunity for a small player like Intrusion, especially for its new Savant product dealing with advanced persistent threats.
• In the previous quarter, Savant beat a big competitor for an order, and the customer enthusiasm has led their big reseller to greatly expand sales efforts.
• While this has not yet led to a dramatic increase in sales, the opportunity is certainly there. The risk are rather manageable, with the company being in good financial health.

• Markets have shrugged off the October fall and exploded higher to set new records daily.
• But equity valuations are stretched providing the dry timber that only needs igniting.
• Sparks could fly to set fire to valuations from a host of situations, including the eurozone, Russia, and Ukraine.

• Many on the political right associate Keynesianism with big government and loose monetary policies.
• This is unfortunate, as Keynesianism offers a good framework for analysis of an economy suffering from general demand deficiencies.
• This framework has been very accurate in describing the post 2008 economic situation.
• And perceived “left-wing” solutions aren’t written in stone, solutions to demand problems that are more palatable to those on the right are available.

• Some argue that Abeconomics alredy failed (after less than two years) and make it a showcase of failed Keynesianism. It’s too early to draw conclusions though.
• It’s funny, because what (temparary?) derailed Abeconomics was a tax hike, under the Japanese economic circumstances the very antithesis of Keynesian policy.
• We should also remind people that Abeconomics was inspired by Japanese policies in the 1930s, which successfully got Japan out of a similar slump.

• The bottom 60% of the US income distribution receives more in transfer payments than it pays in taxes.
• The top 20% pay for virtually all government and transfer payments, testifying to great “government inequality”.
• Yet, a relevant question is which has a greater economic impact, “government inequality” or market inequality?

• The euro can be broken up after all, authorities admit.
• While the break-up cost would be very big (depending on how it’s handled), the euro in its present form is clearly dysfunctional.
• The implications for europositions right now are not clear cut, it would entirely depend on how the euro is broken up.

• Japan’s tax hike, just as in 1997, again sunk the economy, at least temporarily.
• However, some argue that it’s also responsible for the Japanese deflation, which is a rather odd position to take.
• We would lay off buying Japanese shares for now, until the economic picture improves and/or the yen resumes its fall.

Deflation Caused By Tax Hikes? | Seeking Alpha

• While Germany has put itself on the line for rescue packages of fellow eurozone countries, and it emphasizes the importance of structural reforms, it’s role isn’t benign.
• By undercutting wage growth in the previous decade, leading to an enormous current account surplus, and failing to reflate it makes life for the peripheral countries unbearably hard.
• The upshot is that we think it is quite realistic to expect the eurozone to succumb to its internal contradictions and different policy preferences.

• The Bank of Japan provided another shot of monetary stimulus, surprising markets all around.
• We think that under the conditions, they didn’t have much choice, there isn’t any clear alternative.
• We could learn from history, in the 1930s both the US and Japan beat the depression, only to shoot themselves in the foot. The April sales tax hike was similarly.
• While Japanese markets might have to digest a one-day 5% jump, renewed conviction in Abeconomics will likely produce more gains, as well as a falling currency.

Japanese Shares Still Worth Considering? | Seeking Alpha

• After a steep fall, financial markets have once again bolted higher.
• According to some, this rebound was caused by some comments from Fed officials.
• But isn’t it curious that a mere whisper from some Fed official can turn around financial markets to the tune of trillions of dollars.
• Especially for those that tout the robust self-stabilizing nature of markets and the inability of policymakers to fine (or even broad)-tune the business cycle?
