Jack Nicklaus Course Picked to Thwart North Korean Missiles

By Kanga Kong (Bloomberg) -- A Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course in South Korea was picked Friday as the new site for a U.S. missile system aimed at defending the country from any North Korean attack. The decision comes after more than two months of protests over the original plan to locate Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense, known as Thaad, in the mountainous county of Seongju more than 200 kilometers (125 miles) southeast of Seoul. The missile defense system will now be located nearby at the Lotte Group’s Skyhill Country Club, according to South Korea’s Defense Ministry. The move, just weeks after Kim Jong Un’s regime conducted its fifth nuclear test, may appease some villagers who fiercely opposed putting Thaad in Seongju due to concerns over how its powerful radars would impact their health. Even so, President Park Geun-hye’s administration still faces other obstacles to moving ahead with the defense system. China and Russia remain opposed to Thaad as they believe it will destabilize the region, with Beijing considering economic retaliation if South Korea deploys the missile shield. The issue has prompted China to give the cold shoulder to Park, only months after the two nations hailed ties as the best in history. “China has many times made clear its opposition to the U.S. deploying its THAAD anti-missile system in South Korea,” Chinese defense ministry spokesman Yang Yujun told reporters in Beijing on Thursday.

Deutsche Bank Jitters (Sept. 29, 2016)


Deutsche Bank is back in the spotlight with everyone screaming for their demise. Personally I don't see it (Germany will save them no problem at all), and DB's credits have been in question for years. However, I would not take bets on the securities, at this point. 
Safe sailing DB. Your research holds a special place in my economic heart. - Chad

Giving the markets jitters, struggling German banking giant Deutsche Bank AG DB hit a new 52-week low of $11.23 on Monday, closing down 7% to $11.85 on the NYSE, marking the lowest level in decades. The price movement reflected investors’ concern that the bank may raise capital to settle the potential $14-billion accord with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DoJ”) related to mortgage practices. Notably, as of Jun 30, the bank had €5.5 billion ($6.2 billion) in its litigation reserves - Zack's
