Most people know the rule is to buy low, sell high. If you buy that, the problem is knowing when the market has peaked or bottomed out. A growing number of Thrift Savings Plan investors are nervously wondering how much longer the current bull market — 10-plus years without a correction of 20% or more — will last, and can last. So many things could go wrong: Turkey and Syria, Chinese trade and the Hong Kong problem, post-Brexit Europe, or impeachment — a major disaster. Arthur Stein, a Washington, D.C.-area certified financial planner, weighs in on this episode of Your Turn with Mike Causey.

Europe : l'Allemagne prend ses distances : Dimanche 10 mars, la dirigeante de l'Union chrétienne- démocrate (CDU), Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, dite « AKK », a répondu aux propositions de réforme de l'Union européenne d'Emmanuel Macron dans une tribune confiée à Die Welt am Sonntag. Ni la chancelière Angela Merkel (CDU) ni le vice- chancelier Olaf Scholz (SPD) n’avaient réagi à la tribune d’Emmanuel Macron. A plus large échelle, il s’agit de la première réponse approfondie à l’initiative française en Europe. Dans cette tribune intitulée « Faisons l’Europe comme il faut », disponible en six langues sur le site de la CDU, AKK rejette la proposition avancée par le président français d’un « bouclier social » à l’échelle de l’UE et soutient que l’idée d’un salaire minimum européen est une mauvaise approche. Elle réclame une nouvelle fois que le siège de la France au Conseil de sécurité de l’ONU soit attribué à l’Europe, proposition qui avait déjà irrité la France lorsqu’elle avait été lancée par Olaf Scholz. La dirigeante de la CDU reprend par contre l’idée d’un Conseil de sécurité européen incluant la Grande‐Bretagne et suggère de créer un porte‐avions européen. Comme le président français, Annegret Kramp-Karenbauer évite la question de la réforme de la zone euro, tout en apportant son soutien à l’union bancaire. Sur les sujets de l’innovation, du climat et de la taxation du numérique, des positions communes sont possibles. Le fait que cette tribune émane de la présidente de la CDU et non pas de la chancelière Merkel est interprété à Berlin comme un signe supplémentaire de la volonté d’Angela Merkel de passer la main à AKK. Cette dernière ne fait cependant pas l’unanimité au sein du gouvernement de coalition au pouvoir. Plusieurs cadres du SPD menacent de mettre fin à la grande coalition gouvernementale, si la chancelière allemande anticipait son départ au profit d'AKK. ****Brexit, No Brexit, Brexit… Mardi 12 mars, par 391 voix contre 242, l’accord de Brexit conclu par la Première ministre britannique, Theresa May, avec l’Union européenne (UE) a été rejeté pour la deuxième fois par la Chambre des communes. Bien que le nombre de voix favorables à l’accord de Theresa May ait augmenté depuis le premier refus du 15 janvier 2019, la question de la frontière irlandaise, demeure un point de discorde majeur entre les deux parties. Mercredi 13 mars, par 321 voix contre 278, les députés britanniques ont rejeté le scénario d’une sortie de l'UE sans accord. Le vote contre ce « no deal » a cependant mis en lumière la division qui règne au sein du parti conservateur auquel appartient la Première ministre. Un amendement déposé par la conservatrice Caroline Spelman a été adopté à une courte majorité (312 voix contre 308). Il exclut tout « no deal » quelles que soient les circonstances. Ce texte n'a pas de caractère contraignant, mais intensifie la pression exercée sur Theresa May, afin qu'elle écarte la piste d’une sortie sans accord. Jeudi 14 mars, les communes ont voté contre un second referendum et en faveur du report de la date butoir du 29 mars au 30 juin, si les députés approuvent d'ici le 20 mars l'accord de retrait de l'UE de Theresa May, qu'ils ont déjà retoqué à deux reprises. Si l'accord est recalé à nouveau, le report devra aller au-delà du 30 juin et impliquera l'organisation des élections pour le parlement européen en mai. Les dirigeants européens ont prévenu que cette extension devrait être « motivée. « Le Royaume-Uni doit nous dire ce qu'il veut pour notre relation future, a indiqué mercredi le négociateur de l'UE pour le Brexit, Michel Barnier. .
Sociologists Les Back and Shamser Sinha spent a decade following 30 migrants in London, a study that forms the narrative in their new book, Migrant City. But the book, which includes the names of three of their subjects as additional co-authors, doesn’t focus the lives of 30 characters, but 31. “In the end,” Back tells interviewer David Edmonds in this Social Science Bites podcast, “Shamser Sinha and I learned so much about not only the experience of migration, but about London as a space and a place that is made through migration. So this is not really just a migrants’ story; it’s the story of London but told through and eyes, ears and attentiveness of 30 adult migrants from all corners of the world.” Given the focus on immigration at present – whether into the European Union from the developing world, into Britain from the rest of pre-Brexit Europe, or into the United states from points south – Edmonds inquires whether the immigrants were in London legally or not. They were both, although Back notes that migrants in general often pass between the two states. The question itself allows Back to expound on the way that that binary colors so much of the conversation about immigration. “The idea of the immigrant itself holds our thinking hostage very often; that’s one of the big points we wanted to make. It’s so coded, it’s so symbolic in our political culture, particularly the legal/illegal ones that bear down on the public debates – the good migrants vs. the unwanted ones.” Sinha and Back’s work was part of a larger European Union-funded seven-country study of migration in Europe. The pair’s longitudinal ethnography In, and of, London was accompanied by a conscious effort not just to “mine” the 30 migrants of their personal experiences and data; the sociologists were “doing research alongside people, instead of just in front of them and on them.” Many of the migrants were happy to become more than mere subjects, hence the writing credit for three of them. “To say that the participants are co-authors, on the one hand, is an attempt to honor their contribution,” Back recounts in explaining the unique two-plus-three byline. “On the other hand, we felt there was a bit of sleight of hand, because at the end of the day Shamser and I spent 10 years listening to people, thinking about the way they documented their own lives and observed their own lives and the way we made sense of that. At the end of the day, Shamser and I pulled this piece of writing together and shaped it. So it would be wrong to not acknowledge that.” Back describes both the alienation the migrants experienced, but also their “enchantment” with being a London, a city which had often loomed large in their lives well before they set off to live there. “Very often, those young people were here because British interests, or London’s interests specifically, had been alive in the places where they grew up, their hometowns and their far-off places. ... They are here because we were there, or continue to be there.” A native Londoner, Back is a professor of sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London. He is both a student of Goldsmiths, having done undergraduate and postgraduate studies there, and since 1993 has been on the faculty there. In that time he’s written number of books, including 2007’s The Art of Listening; 2002’s Out of Whiteness: Color, Politics and Culture (with Vron Ware); and 2001’s The Changing Face of Football: racism, identity and multiculture in the English game (with Tim Crabbe and John Solomos). In 2016, his Academic Diary: Or Why Higher Education Still Matters, was the first book ever published by the then new Goldsmiths Press.

Europe’s post-2008 financial crises have provided opportunities for Chinese overseas investment in cash-strapped European states. From infrastructure investments in a high-speed rail line between Serbia and Hungary, to developing Greece’s port of Piraeus, becoming majority shareholders in France’s Toulouse airport, and developing business parks in Belarus, China’s continent-wide investments are altering economic and political realities across Europe. In the wake of Britain’s decision to leave the European Union (Brexit), how will Chinese investment continue to change realpolitik in the Old Continent? The Harvard on China podcast talks with Phillipe Le Corre, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institute, former advisor at France’s Ministry of Defense, and former fellow at Harvard’s Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. Le Corre is the author of “China Offensive in Europe” from Brookings Institution Press. The "Harvard on China" podcast is hosted by James Evans at Harvard's Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies.
