habe ich einen sehr aufschlussreichen Chart gefunden, in dem ich einige Phasen eingerahmt habe.
|
Jeder will, wenn es schlecht läuft unter den Rettungsschirm des Staates. Der spannt den Schirm -in vielen Nationen- immer breiter, damit immer mehr Unternehmen sich für eine Rettun qualifizieren.
So kommen wir nur sehr schleppend zu einer Marktbereinigung. Überkapazitäten werden künstlich erhalten. Im Kern gesunde Marktteilnehmer sind die Leidtragenden.
Einen echten Auschwung können wir nicht erleben, wenn der Staat ein reinigendes Gewitter nicht zulässt. Es kann sicher nicht im Staatsinteresse sein die Wirtschaft ins Chaos fallen zu lassen. Es kann aber auch nicht im Staatsinteresse sein jeden ineffizienten Marktteilnehmer künstlich am Leben zu erhalten.
Wir beschreiten einen Weg, der so noch nie gegangen wurde. Staatunternehmer sind allerdings noch nie Potente Spieler am Markt gewesen.
Ich sehe die Lage sehr kritisch.

The U.S. government will take up a 70 percent stake in General Motors. This means a hefty investment in the automaker with some estimates as high as $50 billion in terms of financing, so that GM can reorganize, sources tell CNBC. GM has already said it would need at least $30 billion.
The United Auto Workers union will get 17.5 percent of GM with the amended contract and will have to make even further concessions. GM will take back five plants from Delphi.
GM's secured bondholders (they hold $6 billion) have priority in any foreseeable bankruptcy, after which, is the U.S. government. In the five months since being bailed out by the government, GM has already taken $19.4 billion and will need $7.6 billion after June 1. Next in line will be the unsecured bondholders who have $27 billion in debt.
The Treasury Department feels it has made a "fair and complete offer" to those bondholders where they get 10 percent of the company. GM bondholders have balked at the offer, setting the stage for the largest-ever U.S. industrial bankruptcy within days.
The event marks a critical disappointment for GM, the largest U.S. automaker and once considered the bellwether of U.S. manufacturing.
"I would say this is a sound rejection of an unsuitable offer," said Pete Hastings, a credit analyst at Morgan Keegan who has followed GM. "I have been saying for some time that this thing was dead on arrival and we were just waiting for the doctor to pronounce it dead. Now that's happened."
The Treasury expects a GM bankruptcy to take longer and be more complex that the current Chrysler bankruptcy.
The largest U.S. automaker had so far failed to gain anywhere near the 90 percent of bondholder support desired to stave off bankruptcy, two sources familiar with the discussions told Reuters. Bondholders have until midnight to make their final decision on the proposal that sees them forgiving $27 billion in debt in exchange for a 10 percent stake in a restructured company.
Negotiations have been far from smooth. A member of the bondholder group resigned from the ad hoc committee of bondholders negotiating with the U.S. government Tuesday evening.
Jim Graves, a former GM employee, said in a statement issued by the Main Street Bondholders -- a coalition of small investors -- that he could no longer serve on the panel. GM had no comment on the bond exchange. The automaker said it would detail results of the exchange on Wednesday morning.
The Main Street group, affiliated with a larger organization of retail investors, also said it plans to seek legal representation to form a creditor committee, assuming the debt proposal fails and GM files for bankruptcy.
Reuters sources said GM could file for bankruptcy sometime after midnight Tuesday, but before June 1.
GM's shares have been volatile in recent months as auto sales crumbled and the Detroit automaker was forced to terminate contracts with dealerships, close down plants and lay off tens of thousands of workers. The stock hit $1 on May 13, its lowest point since 1933.
On Tuesday, GM shares dropped as low as $1.12 but later reached as high as $1.84, up 41 cents or 29 percent from Friday's close.
Meanwhile, sources told Reuters that the U.S. government wants to be as inactive a shareholder in General Motors as possible if it ends up taking an ownership stake during a reorganization of the automaker.
"We are reluctant, somewhat involuntary shareholders in this situation," one of the sources said. "We want to be shareholders for as short a period of time and almost in as inactive a way as we can responsibly be."
The government would not engage in day-to day management of the automaker, in which it would take a majority stake, the source said. "We're not going to put U.S. government people, employees on the board," the source said.
Separately, a source told CNBC that Chrysler, which entered bankruptcy on April 30, could emerge from it in restructured form as early as next week. "I think we're pretty close to the end," the source said.
The government would like to get out of an ownership stake once it was certain that taxpayers' interests were protected in a going concern.
"We're going to exit this investment as soon as we responsibly can in a way that's both fair to the other stakeholders in the company as well as fair to the American taxpayers," the sources said.
While the failure to reach a bondholder deal is a severe blow, GM did reach an agreement Tuesday with the leadership of the United Auto Workers (UAW) union.
The key for GM's negotiations with the UAW has been how the two sides restructured payment terms on $20 billion that the automaker still owes to a trust fund for retiree health care (the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association, or VEBA).
The UAW agreed to take 17.5 percent of common stock in a restructured GM, a person familiar with the terms told Reuters. The union would also be paid $6.5 billion in preferred stock and would be granted a $2.5 billion note.
A deal on those terms would mean that the union was successful in taking on less risk than it would have under an earlier proposal from GM that would have given it 39 percent of the automaker's common stock.
As part of the plan, GM will offer buyouts to all UAW employees. Workers with 20 years or more will be offered $115,000 and a $25,000 voucher toward purchase of a new GM vehicle. The UAW rank-and-file will vote on the contract Wednesday and Thursday.
Union officials who met in Detroit Tuesday unanimously endorsed the pact after a briefing with UAW President Ron Gettelfinger, a person at the meeting said.
GM, which has lost $82 billion in the past four years and has received $19.4 billion in government funding since the beginning of this year, has been struggling to cut costs and reduce debt to continue to receive more government aid.
GM has said it is unlikely to make a $1 billion debt payment due June 1, a day after its government-imposed deadline to cut enough costs or face bankruptcy.
Current shareholders would be left with just 1 percent of a restructured company.
Tragendes Element der aktuell kursierenden "Spin-Storys" ist, dass die Fallraten sinken und dass dies bevorstehendes Wachstum signalisiere.
Zuletzt konnte man diese Sprüche heute bei Marketwatch in bezug auf die "Erholung Hongkongs" lesen (der Hongkong-Index zog über Nacht um über 4 % an, weil die Regierung ein 2 Mrd.$-Konjunkturpaket bewilligte. Grund für dieses Paket waren starke Wachstumsrückgänge:
The report followed data Tuesday showing Hong Kong's tumble in export shipments may be bottoming. The trade numbers showed April exports contracted 18.2% in value compared to a year earlier, a milder decline than the 21.1% reported in March. Imports for the month fell 17% on year compared to a 22.7% contraction in March.

Zu deutsch: Hier werden Monatszahlen von Jahr zu Jahr verglichen
Von März 2008 bis März 2009 betrug der Rückgang im Handel 21,1 %
Von April 2008 bis April 2009 betrug der Rückgang im Handel 18,2 %
Die Differenz bei diesem Vergleich soll eine "Wende nach oben" bedeuten. Klingt scheinbar logisch, hat aber einen Haken.
Zum einen macht es wenig Sinn, aus nur zwei Datenpaaren eine Kurve zu konstruieren und daraus einen Trendwechsel zu postulieren. Aber sehen wir über diese "Feinheit" mal hinweg.
Weit wichtiger ist, dass es permanent fallende Kurven gibt, die dennoch die in den o. g. Handelsrückgängen genannten Zahlenbedingungen erfüllen - nämlich jede logarithmische Kurve (unten dargestellt am Beispiel der radioaktiven Zerfalls).
Logarithmische Kurven fallen anfangs steil; mit der Zeit wird das "Fall-Tempo" immer schwächer. Dennoch nähern sie sich längerfristig "asymptotisch" der Null-Linie. Es gibt nirgendwo eine Wende nach oben.
Vergleicht man im Beispiel unten die blaugrün eingekreiste Punkte der Zeitachse, stellt man fest, dass der Rückgang in diesem Zeit-Intervall (blaugrüne vertikale Linie) größer ist als der zwischen den beiden lila eingekreisten Punkten (lila vertikale Linie). Die "Sinkraten" fallen daher in dieser Kurve. Gleichwohl nähert sie sich immer stärker der Null-Linie.
D.h. die fallenden Sinkraten signalisieren in dieser Kurve keinerlei Trendumkehr.
Gleiches würde man sehen (wenn auch schwächer), wenn sich die untersuchten Zeitintervalle, wie bei den März (Jahr über Jahr) und April (Jahr über Jahr) Zahlen des Hongkong-Handels, überlappen.
Mithin eine klare "mathematische Widerlegung" der Kehrtwende-Spin-Storys. ;-)
Das Gleiche gilt übrigens für die angeblich sinkenden Zahlen bei den Erstanträgen auf Arbeitslosigkeit in USA. Selbst wenn diese Zahl tatsächlich sinken würden (in den letzten 14 Wochen lagen sie stets über 600.000), würde die Gesamtzahl der Arbeitslosen von Monat zu Monat um die jeweilige Zahl weiter steigen. Dies zeigt ja auch die "unbarmherzig" steigende Arbeitslosenquote, die nun schon bei 8,9 % liegt und bis Jahresende zweistellig werden soll. Sie hat sich gegenüber 2007 verdoppelt (# 43609)
