Mar 30, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Even with the implementation of extremely accommodative monetary policy conditions across the Euro Area intended to promote growth, inflation, and spur lending, equities have not benefited as greatly as anticipated owing to a host of factors.

Mar 30, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

S&P 500 The S&P 500 initially fell during the day on Tuesday, and then shot towards the 2050 level. We closed at the very top of the range, and that of course is a very bullish sign. Given enough time, I believe that the market will then reach towards the 2100 level. I think the […]

Mar 30, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Despite Yellen’s best efforts to basically dismiss any and all data as irrelevant going forward in The Fed’s decision-making process, we suspect all eyes (and algos) will be firmly glued to this week’s payrolls’ data. Will it be another record month for Obama to crow about? Will Mark Zandi do the “told you so dance” […]

Mar 30, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

The “first” part of the TIC data update for January was relatively straightforward, especially since the scale of the net transaction adjustments in both December and January really did match what happened in January (crossing into February).

Mar 30, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

How many startups are empty shells filled with glitzy PR designed to appeal to VC newbies? It’s widely accepted that most tech startups will fail.

Mar 30, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

The outlook for another interest rate hike remained unclear following the speech by Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen to the Economic Club in New York Tuesday, her first press conference after the Fed held rates steady two weeks ago.

Two months ago, we signaled a huge buying opportunity was setting up in gold. Basically, that observation was based on a bullish chart pattern which is known as a ‘cup and handle’.

Mar 30, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

The price of gold is going sideways. For some ‘experts’ it’s a sign that the comeback of the yellow metal is nearly over. But they tend to forget this is very a weak season for gold. History shows March is the weakest month for gold. Hedge Fund manager Dan Tapiero even expects gold will make […]
