Millionaire blogger has visited almost every country in the world

One Step 4Ward
Johnny Ward in Rio De Janiero, Brazil. Ward, a 32-year-old Irishman, is on the verge of completing a decadelong goal of traveling to every country in the world.

While most yuppies spend their workweeks chained to their desks until their next vacations, this millennial is making a small fortune traveling the world.
Johnny Ward, a 32-year-old Irishman, is on the verge of completing a decadelong goal of traveling to every country in the world. He’s currently at 183 out of 196. The former-teacher-turned-blogger is documenting his quest on his travel website, One Step 4ward.
He’s already got destinations such as Cambodia, Tanzania and Italy under his belt. The nations yet to be crossed off include big guns such as Argentina and obscure ones such as Mali.
One Step 4Ward
After growing his social media following, Ward is currently making an average of $30,000 a month.
More impressive, he’s been able to make more than $1 million through his writing and travels, according to CNN.
“If I can do this, anyone can do it,” Ward tells the news agency. “It just takes a bit of belief.”
Ward started his blog in 2006 when he caught the travel bug and ditched a sales job in Australia. He sold his first ad on the blog while he was traveling through Ethiopia. After growing his social media following — his Facebook page has more than 84,000 likes — he’s currently making an average of $30,000 a month.
Better still, he delegates tasks to staff to maintain his site so he can work just a few hours a week.
“When I say I’m maximizing my life, I’m not drinking Long Island ice teas in the Maldives, you know,” Ward says. “I’m maximizing my experiences, and I go to bed thinking, ‘Well that was a cool week, and next week’s going to be cool, too.’ That’s what I mean.”
He does want to settle down, eventually. His list of goals include getting married and having a family after he finishes his epic travels.
“I want a base, where I have friends and can party and the people in the shops know your face,” Ward says. “There’s no way I want to bounce around indefinitely.”

Paris, Frankfurt welcome Britain's bankers

Banking hasn't been popular among politicians for years. So why are European leaders so keen to woo bankers to their cities? Tax euros!
U.K. finance is a big export to Europe and the companies and people involved pay a lot of tax. About 11% of all U.K. taxes come from the country's finance industry and about 60% of those are paid by employees themselves, according to studies done by the City of London Corporation.
Employees in banking alone paid about GBP18 billion of income taxes in 2014-2015, according to the U.K. tax authorities.
Much of that won't go anywhere. Retail banking accounts for more than two-thirds of employees, according to the British Bankers Association, a trade body. However, commercial and investment bankers are probably paid more on average, so at a conservative estimate, one-third of those taxes, or GBP6 billion, might be paid by them.
So how many might move? HSBC's chairman, Douglas Flint, has said about 1,000 of its investment banking staff, or 17%, would shift to Paris in the case of a hard Brexit. Analysts at Jefferies, meanwhile, reckon up to 100,000 jobs from all financial industries could move from the U.K. to Europe.
Whether any jobs move will be highly uncertain for some time yet. But if they do, it is quite easy to see how employees alone could bring hundreds of millions of extra euros with them.
No wonder finance suddenly has new friends in Paris and Frankfurt.

10 stock winners, 10 losers in the first half of 2016

The S&P 500 Index SPX, +0.19% of the largest U.S. stocks rose 2.7% in the first half of 2016, led by energy, telecommunications and utility companies.
The benchmark stock-market index is on track to post its eighth consecutive annual gain. The S&P 500 eked out a 1.4% increase for 2015. With dividends reinvested, the index advanced 3.8% in the first six months of 2016.
FactSet
Sector performance this year has varied widely:
S&P 500 sector Total return - 2016 Total return - 2015
Telecommunications 25% 3%
Utilities 23% -5%
Energy 16% -21%
Consumer Staples 10% 7%
Materials 7% -8%
Industrials 6% -3%
Consumer Discretionary 1% 10%
Health Care 0% 7%
Information Technology 0% 6%
Financials -3% -2%
Source: FactSet
Investor demand for telecommunications and utility stocks can be explained by one thing: yield hunger. In 2015, there was fear that the Federal Reserve would steadily increase the federal funds rate, which would hurt market prices of income-producing securities. But that hasn’t happened. The Fed made only one move, in December, raising the federal funds rate to a range of 0.25% from 0.50%, where it has stayed since. Those are still historically low rates, and the Federal Open Market Committee has been softening its stance on further rate increases.
Meanwhile, the strength of the dollar and uncertainty in international markets has made investment-grade bond yields unattractive. So if income is your main objective, you might ignore the gloom-and-doom warnings and buy dividend stocks or REITs, but be sure to consider how likely a company is to maintain or raise its dividend before jumping in.
The S&P 500 energy sector has returned 16% this year, as the price of West Texas crude oil has risen 30%. But it’s been a rough ride, as you can see in this chart:

Analysts expect plenty of these companies to post strong recoveries over the next 12 months. But if you are a long-term investor, rather than just jumping into one of these stocks, it is best to do your own research and form an opinion on how likely the company is to increase its sales and profits for years to come.

LEAKED: Japan’s Mega-Pension Fund Plows into Stocks, Eats $50Bn Loss, Tries to Hide it till after Election

Wolf Richter wolfstreet.com, www.amazon.com/author/wolfrichter

Benefiting hedge funds and banks that had front-run the fund.

Abenomics is facing elections on July 10 for the less powerful Upper House.
But Abenomics hasn’t fared very well. It engaged in the biggest (relative to the economy) money-printing and bond buying extravaganza the world has ever seen. The securities the Bank of Japan has bought, now at ¥426 trillion ($4.15 trillion), amount to 85% of GDP. About $8 trillion in Japanese Government Bonds sport negative yields. Even the 30-year yield is just about zero. The JGB market, once the second largest government bond market in the world, has frozen. The BOJ’s primary dealers are in revolt. Some have already pulled out.
Savers are scared. Sales of safes to be installed at home have soared. There have been no structural reforms to speak of. Japan Inc. has benefited enormously, through various tax benefits and special stimulus packages, including foreign aid that is channeled back to Japanese companies. Government deficits are gigantic, providing additional stimulus for Japan Inc. And yet, the economy is languishing.
So Abenomics is facing its voters again. Few people on earth are as cynical about their elected officials as Japanese voters. Any remaining illusions have been wrung out of them years ago. In polls, voters have explained that they have not benefited from Abenomics. Yet, Prime Minister’s Shinzo Abe’s position remains strong, mainly because the opposition is so flimsy.
His conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has been in power since its beginning in 1955, except for an 11-month stint in 1993/94, and from 2009 to 2012. At the end of 2012, Abenomics was installed.
But there’s something that makes the Japanese nervous: how politicians handle their pensions. Particularly older voters. They make up a big part of the electorate. So the government decided not to rub the effects of Abenomics in their faces and rile them unnecessarily just before an election.
In April, it announced that it would delay the publication of the annual results of the $1.36 trillion Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), from the usual date in early July, to July 29. At the time, the election date hadn’t been set yet, but it would have to be before July 25. So July 29 was a safe bet.
The election “has absolutely nothing to do with it,” explained GPIF spokesman Shinichirou Mori at the time. His excuse was that the fund would be reviewing the results of the past 10 years and needs a little extra time to put the report together.
But like so many things of Abenomics, it too flopped: after rumors of huge losses had been swirling for months, the results were leaked.
“A person with direct knowledge of the matter,” and “speaking on condition of anonymity,” told Reuters that in fiscal 2015, which ended on March 31, the GPIF lost between ¥5 trillion and ¥5.5 trillion (between $49 billion and $53 billion).
This was the fund’s first annual loss since the Financial Crisis. All asset classes got hit, except – with hues of a bitter irony – Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs).
In 2014, after Japanese stocks had soared for two years powered by Abenomics money-printing and hedge-fund speculation, GPIF management buckled under political pressure and announced that it would shift from its conservative investment allocation focused on JGBs to one focused on stocks and other riskier assets, in line with Abenomics.
The GPIF began selling its government bonds to the BOJ and started buying stocks. It became the biggest buyer of equities in Japan, driving up prices further. Other pension funds followed the model. In June 2015, the Nikkei hit its recent peak of 20,868 (still 47% below its all-time peak in 1989). But over the past 12 months, as the GPIF curtailed its purchases since allocation goals were largely met, the Nikkei has plunged 25%!
That plunge coincided largely with the fund’s fiscal year, which ended on March 31.
The fund showed ¥33.3 trillion in cumulative investment income from fiscal 2006 – when it was converted into an independent administrative agency – through fiscal 2014. And in just one year, the fund’s new focus on stocks annihilated 16.5% of the total gains accumulated over nine years!
The source told Reuters that the preliminary results had been presented to the fund’s investment committee last Thursday, June 29. So the fund could have published the results as usual in early July. But no.
At a regular news conference, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Koichi Hagiuda denied any link between the delay of the publication of these fiasco results and the Upper House election. The final results were still being compiled, he said.
The funds mega-losses were picked up by the opposition, which lambasted the government’s decision to plow the future of retirees into risky assets.
“I’ve been warning about the problem of GPIF doing risk-high investment,” Katsuya Okada, president of the Democratic Party, the second largest party, told reporters, according to Reuters. With stocks falling, “things are developing in the way I had feared.”
“We’re seeing a serious situation where pensions could be cut in the future,” he said. “I’m also worried about GPIF’s huge presence in the stock market. As a free-market economy, it’s undesirable to have a situation where the government could influence stock moves,” he said, having apparently forgotten for a moment that the BOJ is already buying stocks to “influence” them.
Here’s how the allocation has changed from Q3 2011, the last third quarter before Abenomics came into being, and Q3 2015, the last quarter available. Over the four years, the allocation of “domestic bonds” declined from 67.4% to 37.8%, while the allocation of all other assets jumped, with the allocation of international stocks and domestic stocks more than doubling:
Japan-GPIF-asset-allocation-2011-v-2015
Alas, since April 2015, European and Japanese stocks have plunged, while US stocks have gone nowhere. But the reviled JGBs that the BOJ is buying with all its money-printing might rose.
The decision for switching into stocks in 2014 could not have been better if the main objective had been to squander the pensions of Japanese retirees for the benefit of hedge funds and banks that had been able to front-run GPIF’s well-announced equity buying binge, only to dump their darlings at peak prices into the lap of the eagerly buying GPIF, where they’re now festering with losses.
This is what Abenomics has done to retirees, which Shinzo Abe is now loathe to explain to them before the election. No wonder Japanese voters are the most cynical in the word.

Quantitative Easing now seems to be unavoidable after a Brexit

by Secular Investor
QE
You have probably already read dozens of articles and op-ed’s about the Brexit vote and its impact on the political landscape in Europe. The markets completely crashed ‘the day after’ but quickly regained their composure and the losses of 5-8% at the opening bell were quickly erased.
Brexit 3
Now, just one week later, most indices are trading at higher levels than right before the Brexit, and everything seems to be forgiven and forgotten, especially as nor David Cameron nor the potential future prime minister seem to be keen to trigger the now-famous Article 50 in the European Treaty. This means it’s very unlikely a ‘Brexit’ will be completed before the end of this decade.
And that’s exactly what financial markets used to hate; the simple fact there’s absolutely no visibility about how the European block will look like just one or three years from now will definitely have a negative impact, and that’s also exactly what the IMF has been warning for. IMF-boss Lagarde called the potential Brexit (it’s still just a chance, nothing has been effectively decided yet) an ‘immediate threat to the world economy’ and ‘putting the UK on the brink of a recession’. (yes, she did use the R-word)
She also warned the recovery from the Global Financial Crisis is going way too slow and is too fragile’, and whereas this sort of message would be seen as bad news in any world dominated by common sense, the markets quickly became optimistic again, as the rate hikes will now be completely off the table whilst another round of Quantitative Easing is back on that same table.
In a relatively long working paper, released by the Bank of England, Mark Carney tries to soften the blow by explaining how well-capitalized the British Banks are, as the capital requirements are now ten times as strict compared to before the financial crisis in 2008.
Brexit 1

However, the uncertainty regarding the economic policy in the UK hasn’t been this high in the past two decades. Even during the Global Financial Crisis and Euro-crises the uncertainty was lower than what we’re seeing now, as you can see on the previous image.  The uncertainty will cause consumers to start hoarding more cash instead of deploying it in the market. Again from the Bank of England:
‘As a result of increased uncertainty and tighter financial conditions, UK households could defer consumption and firms delay investment, lowering labour demand and causing unemployment to rise. Through financial market and confidence channels, there are also risks of adverse spillovers to the global economy. Over the coming weeks, the Bank will consider a host of other measures and policies to promote monetary and financial stability.’
BRexit 2

Reading between the lines, you can expect the Bank of England starting a substantial program of Quantitative Easing to calm the rattled markets, and that’s the main (and probably only) reason why the main indices are currently trading higher (the FTSE 100 is trading almost 3% higher than before the surprising leave-vote) than right before the Brexit. The yield on the 10-year UK Gilt’s and even the 10 year rate on the US treasuries have reached decade-lows, indicating the market is expecting the interest rates to go down, rather than to go up.

Brexit coincides with India's and Pakistan's entry into the SCO

Today the Shanghai Cooperation Organization represents two thirds of the world’s population. Furthermore, its members include the world’s number one global economy (China) and the leading military power on conventional war (Russia).
The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 laid down a US unipolar geo-strategy and toxic, financial globalization, that sowed monstrous inequality at the local/regional/global levels. This was harnessed by mass unemployment and suffocating austerity.
Half a century after dangerous period of deregulation under Thatcher and 27 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Brexit marks the start of a sorrowful route to de-globalization [1]. This involves geostrategic changes that emphasize the dynamic trend of multi-polarity.
Brexit shifts a geostrategic plate and this will have serious consequences for the new global order, now defined as having three poles, with the US, Russia and China occupying one each.
In the short and medium term, Brexit ranks of equal importance to the fall of the Berlin Wall.
In the long term, in the style of Fernand Braudel, Brexit is "anti-Waterloo": it reverses the rising trajectory of Great Britain, begun with its decisive military triumph 201 years ago in the old Belgium, now the headquarters of a dismembered European Union.
An editorial in a Chinese newspaper, Global Times, notes: “The future landscape of global policy will probably to lead bigger changes, similar to those witnessed in geological history when the former supercontinent Gondwana ruptured, 180 million (sic) years ago [2]”.
The EU’s scattered geostrategic pieces will be divided up between the US, Russia and China, in the back seat.
Perhaps in selected assertions of the three superpowers, we can locate the core of the new global order, brought about by Brexit: the US declares that Russia has won; China asserts that the dollar has won and the Euro has lost and Russia assures that China has won.
As a "premonition", three days before Brexit, George Soros the evil mega-speculator – who used migrants and free circulating capital, to demolish the EU and the euro – was already making Russia out as the "emerging global power”, in unison with the EU’s swooning " [3].
Already, the Prime Minister of Hungary, Victor Orban, had held Soros culpable for fuelling the migrant crisis in the Middle East to sink Europe [4].
It was no coincidence that Soros has been one of the leading winners of the financial tsunami caused by the Brexit, having bet that the value of listed shares would fall and gold would rise. [5].
Now Soros bets on the routing of Deutsche Bank, the leading German/European bank. This benefits the “banksters” on Wall Street and in the City [6].
An article I wrote last year is worthy of Cassandra:
“Great Britain is abandoning the EU for China: a geo-financial alliance with ‘Hollandization’; when the biggest reserves of Chinese currency complement the financial know-how of the City (London), a multipolar framework for a new 21st century geo-financial order is constructed.” [7].
Taking a position not far off from my thesis, Thierry Meyssan, Director of Voltaire Network, argues that Brexit, supported by Queen Elizabeth II of England, and the reorientation of Great Britain to the Chinese yuan, is tantamount to the fall of the Berlin Wall; it represents the “new hand of cards in global geopolitics." [8].
In a previous article, my thesis was [9] “fate’s geostrategic coincidence: the same day the EU began to implode, the Shanghai Group (SCO) had its 16th summit in Tash¬kent (Uzbekistan). Tsar Vladimir Putin and the Chinese Mandarin Xi were in attendance. They approved a protocol for India and Pakistan, the two big nuclear powers [10], [11], to enter. The end of an era!
Indeed, Fate dealt out two coincidences of geostrategic consequences. This is because the day after Brexit, and after attending the 16th Summit of the Shanghai Group in Tashkent, Putin made a 2-day visit to China, where he set out the detail of his strategic ties with Xi.
The two geostrategic coincidences in Eurasia – at Tashkent and at Pekin– had been made to evaporate by disinformation spread by mass media in a “West” in angst.
At a financial meeting in St Petersburg, 7 days before Brexit, Tsar Putin speaking with legendary sarcasm, accepted that:
"probably the US continues to be the only (sic) global superpower”, however he is ready “to work with whoever the winner may be of this year’s Presidential Race in Washington."
However, "he does not want the US to tell him how to live." [12].
The same day as Brexit, two nuclear powers on the Indian subcontinent became part of the Shanghai Group: India equipped with 110 to 120 nuclear warheads [13], and Pakistan, with 110 - 130 warheads [14].
Daily Times claims that " Pakistan’s entry into SCO is highly instructive in the changing geopolitical scene" [15].
Somewhat less enthusiastically than Pakistan, The Hindu exults that "India and Pakistan will be full members of the SCO" [16]. The inference is that China sponsor Pakistan and Russia following its lead with India.
Everything is not rosy in the Shanghai Group. Given that, according to Yang Jin, of the Academy for Social Sciences in China:
“Global financial crisis, the depressed prices of raw materials of basic necessity (staple commodities) and the deterioration caused by economic sanctions applied on Russia has had negative effects on stability (sic) and the SCO economies”, when the “big powers (read: EU and "Plan Brzezinski") have made incisive incursions in regional matters and disturbed the joint interests of SCO members”.
This “has hampered circular cooperation” and that, beside the pairing of the superpowers, China and Russia, it holds the membership of four Central Asians countries - Kazakhstan, Kurdistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan– with a "number of disputes on territory, water resources and ethnicity " [17].
What will be impetus that will give the incorporation of two nuclear powers such as India and Pakistan into the Shanghai Group, which has not developed as expected for 16 summits?
The serious problem with unfolding the SCO is that it has to define its overriding objective, when persists the dilemma of forming a group of "Eurasian military security " to be a counter force to NATO and/or integrating into a common place trade bloc.
The biggest geostrategic issue caused the transcendental coming together of the Russian Bear and the Chinese Dragon.
The People’s Daily declares the "compromise of an implacable association (sic) between China and Russia" [18], while Cao Siqi comments that "China and Russia strengthen global stability" and "have reached a consensus against US hegemony" [19].
An editorial in Global Times considers that the “US pressure stimulates much closer ties between China and Russia", when "Washington is unable to destroy the Chinese dragon and the Russian bear at the same time” [20]. The ancien regime is toppled; let’s breathe life into the new era!

Chairman of Greece’s Jetoil Found Dead, Police Spokesman Says

  • Jetoil was reported to have filed for bankruptcy protection
  • Police suspect Jetoil’s Kyriakos Mamidakis committed suicide


Kyriakos Mamidakis, chairman of Greece’s Mamidoil-Jetoil Greek Petroleum SA that sought bankruptcy protection last week, was found dead at his home near Athens Sunday, a Greek police spokesman said.
Mamidakis was found with a gun next to his body in what appears to have been an act of suicide, the police spokesman said, requesting anonymity in line with policy. Calls to the company were unanswered. Mamidakis was born in 1932 on the island of Crete, according to Jetoil’s website.
Oil products retailer Jetoil requested court protection from creditors as it was unable to make payments on its debt, financial website capital.gr reported July 1.
The company operates a network of 600 gas stations in Greece, a fleet of 33 tanker trucks and seven ships for supplying islands and vessels and owns the largest single storage site in the Balkans. It also operates in neighboring countries including Bulgaria and Albania and is the largest privately-held Greek company, according to Jetoil’s website.
