It is becoming increasingly apparent that Europe will not be able to put together a sufficient package to prevent a deep, prolonged recession if not depression. The reason is the European Central Bank (ECB) refuses to assume a proactive role and has chosen to continue as only a reactive player.

As of today we still feel the U.S. can stave off recession. China risks have increased but we still feel they can manage to an 8 percent growth or better. We are closer to a real plan in Europe as urgency has hit the highest level since the global circles first mentioned Greek debt in May 2010. In all of this we are relying on policy makers and a quick resolution — a very difficult proposition.

In the past two weeks, the entire gain for 2011 has been wiped away. Some of the decline is understandable given the nervousness over the recent economic data and the contagion in the debt markets in Europe.

The frenzy of angst over the debt ceiling extension and possible ratings downgrade shows how high-frequency noise often masks the underlying forces investors need to be aware of.
07/26/2011 - by U.S. Trust
The high-frequency attention to the debt ceiling issue is symptomatic of the trading mentality that grips the market nowadays. For investors it is best to step back from the loud noise and take advantage of good cash-flow producing assets that have corrected too far.

We are at an inflection point for the economy, the markets, and the psychology of many investors. This latest summer pullback in the equity markets raises many questions. 'Strategic Insights' Inflection Point: Answering Your Questions, answers your questions and looks at why we still believe we are in the early stages of a "Global Bull Marathon."

Many existing trusts may be too rigid to adapt to a rapidly changing world, and many new trusts are being created with potentially outdated assumptions. But trusts need not go the way of the dinosaurs. Old trusts can be brought back to life, and new trusts can be designed with flexibility for the future.
