Welcome to Kraken Capital Watch


I have created this blog to serve as a collection of thoughts relating to global markets and economics. It will mainly consist of my own thoughts and perspectives, (whatever that is worth), however I will also post existing articles that I find particularly interesting or enlightening.

And since I am a sucker for a good debate, I will highly encourage people to post their dissenting views.

The bottom line is that world markets are changing, and we are entering a world where the borders are both hazy and continually moving. In this environment it is of the utmost importance to be an avid observer of all markets if you plan to play in any of them.

The Kraken

The Kraken by Tennyson

Below the thunders of the upper deep;
Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumber'd and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

The Kraken

by Lord Alfred Tennyson

About Me

My photo
Keith J. Akre
Rockford, Illinois
I am self described market academic, who not only enjoys the intellectual pursuit of finding meaning in the tea leaves, but also feels that having good global knowledge makes one a good global citizen. I read a ton from varied sources in order to try and get a rounded perspective on what goes on in the world. Lastly and most importantly, however, I am a capitalist and investor. My thoughts are that it takes entreprenurial strength and intellectual horsepower on an individual basis to have a successfully growing economy on a collective basis. My hope with this blog is to attract a few like-minded individuals who will appreciate my attempts at deciphering the world stage and outlining my thoughts on its investment implications.
