"Unimaginable Consequences" for Hong Kong
Protests continue on the streets of Hong Kong.
Those are the words of the People's Daily, the leading voice of the Chinese Communist Party. And they're not a forecast or a speculation. They're a thinly-veiled threat! What's ahead for Hong Kong, the biggest financial center of the largest, most populous, fastest growing continent on the planet? Martin D. Weiss explains. Read more by clicking here.
Headwinds for Multinationals?
The message is clear: The worsening conditions in emerging markets and Europe are a clear and present risk for MNCs, or multinational corporations.

The Week's Hot News
Money and Markets columnist Mike Larson and others take a look at key financial and political events around the globe after the market close. Here are the week's highlights:
Financial Engineering, American-Style!
Companies are now spending more than 30 percent of their cash flow on share buybacks. That's roughly double the amount they spent 12 years ago. During that same time, they slashed capital spending to just 40 percent of cash flow from 50 percent. What does it say about the long-term vision of executives if they can't find anything better to invest in than their own shares? Mike takes a tough, hard look at the activities of corporate execs in America. Click here to read more.

First, it was Candy Crush game maker King Digital Entertainment that lost its sweetness. This week, it was the home beverage company SodaStream that's going flat. What will be next? Read Mike's take on the matter by clicking here.
Guess Who Can't Get a Mortgage!
He's a fairly rich guy. His net worth is at least $1.1 million, according to public disclosures, and he is now getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for speaking engagements. But when he went to refinance his Washington, D.C. house, he was reportedly rejected. And he has plenty of company, too! Read more on the issue and Mike's take on it by clicking here.
