US Overtakes Brazil As World's No. 1 Beef Exporter So the weak dollar did work. The stronger Brazilian real in relation to the dollar has made Brazilian beef a little less competitive overseas and U.S. cattle country is one of its benefactors of that exchange rate. According to Brazil’s beef exporters association, Abiec, Brazil exported 672,600 metric tons of beef to world markets between Jan and July while the U.S. beef exporters shipped 741,300 metric tons, bringing in $3.06 billion to Brazil’s $3.01 billion. It’s the first time the U.S. has beat out Brazil in the global beef market since 2003. http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=27661860

just in in-tray Something I did over the weekend: a brief piano piece again in an odd time signature similar to the previous ones (13/8 in this case). Then the same piece played with synthesizers (Ocean, synth). The reason for the odd time signatures is mainly that using them leads to different musical ideas than one would normally have, although the main themes to this one arrived in my mind while walking through town and I decided on the time signature later. acting-man.com acting-man.com for those who missed them, here are the predecessor piano pieces of the same 'cycle' (i.e., using essentially similar technique and rare time signatures): acting-man.com (9/8 + 6/8) acting-man.com (9/8 + 4/4) acting man updates: 1. Euro Area- More Leverage Mooted Amid Continued Squabbling The eurocrats have come under fire at the G-20 gabfest for their confused cacophony of non-policy. Apparently stung by the criticism, some seized the initiative to moot the Geithner idea of leveraging the EFSF - however, as there are altogether four different possibilities of doing that, it will probably happen in 2027, approximately. A strong indication against it happening at all is that Olli Rehn has greeted the initiative with enthusiasm (this is due to his qualities as a contrary indicator). It seems the main idea is to give the EFSF a banking license so it can be used as a vehicle for inflationary pumping via the ECB. Meanwhile the Dutch and the Germans have more immediate concerns: they want to renegotiate the agreement of July that hasn't even been ratified yet, in order to let Greece finally default. Not surprisingly, CDS spreads continued to go haywire on Friday. Charts updated. acting-man.com 2. Whither Gold? Gold and silver along with mining shares were shellacked late in the week. We take a look at the charts to see if there is any hope, and there is a little bit, as negative divergences at the highs have now turned into positive divergences. Contrary to what appears to be held as self-evident by many, the margin hike did not cause the sell-off (not least because the sell-off was antecedent to it). Meanwhile, gold's real price has held up rather well, as has its price in non-dollar currencies, especially the currencies relevant to most gold mining firms. It seems the shares of gold miners were punished too much. acting-man.com
