4 Great Stocks To Ride The IBB Rebound
Impressive gains from a medical equipment company following particularly promising clinical trials helped the healthcare sector gain more than 1% on Monday. This was the single bright spot on a day when stocks moved lower. Still in the red year to date, the sector has made an impressive comeback over the last month, gaining nearly […]
Slowdown Continues; Lost Time Accumulates
US trade statistics for February improved in both exports and imports, but there are questions as to the reason for the reverse and whether it is actually meaningful. After abysmal performance in every segment and category in January, there was some give back in February including positive numbers in some places. That suggests that January’s […]
Awesome Silver & USD Alarm Bell
I’ve strongly stated that in the short and intermediate term, the most important price driver of gold is the US dollar’s movement against the yen. The dollar is the world’s largest “risk-on” market, because America is the world’s largest debtor. Japan is the world’s largest creditor. Downside action of the dollar against the yen is a […]
Chart Of The Day: Gold Price Vs. Real Interest Rates
In several articles that I have written in the recent past, I have maintained my bullish view on gold for different reasons. Gold price trend as compared to real interest rates is yet another indicator of bullish times for gold in the coming years. The real interest rate here is the 5-Year Treasury Inflation-Indexed Security. […]
Globe’s Dullest Sector Is Effortlessly Beating The S&P 500
The ho-hum utilities sector is the antithesis of popular stocks like Netflix (NasdaqGS:NFLX) and Tesla (NasdaqGS:TSLA). It’s a hyper un-sexy industry sector that’s been long associated with widows and orphans, rather than hotshot entrepreneurs who like to build rocket ships in the office parking lot. And guess what? The widows and orphans are beating the hotshots! Moreover, the widows […]
Understanding The Financial Markets – Part 2
<<Read Part 1: Understanding The Financial Markets What Happens When Emerging Market Economies Collapse… The production output of emerging market economies feeds the voracious appetites of developed economies. But when things sour in the global market, EM economies become the victims of collateral damage. This was all too evident in the collapse of emerging market […]
E Guess Who’s Been Buying Gold?
Gold bugs, conspiracy theorists, and perma bears had some unfamiliar company last year. While traders, individuals, and ETF’s have been unloading gold for the past five years, central banks have been steady buyers. Who had the biggest appetite for the barbarous relic? Russia, which has been accumulating the yellow metal to avoid economic sanctions imposed […]
Brazilian Politics, Players, Panama And Perpetual Motion
There is no simplifying Brazil’s political or economic situation. Anyone “certain” about the outcome is sure to get smacked in its crossfires sooner or later. Corruption might be bi-partisan in the United States, legalized in many cases, but in Brazil, it’s the full multi-party monty. Eduardo Cunha, the Lower House speaker gunning for President (and […]
February 2016 CoreLogic Home Prices Year-Over-Year Growth Rate Now 6.8%
CoreLogic’s Home Price Index (HPI) shows that home prices in the USA are up 6.8 % year-over-year year-over-year (reported up 1.1 % month-over-month). Last month’s 6.9% year-over-year gain was revised downward to 6.2% [revisions to previous months lately have been significantly downward so I would not take the 6.9% to the bank yet]. CoreLogic HPI […]
