ETF Rodeo Roundup Continues
Continuing on with some interesting ETFs this weekend: below is China Large Cap, which tracks the FTSE China 50 index. It’s got a terrific head and shoulders pattern. The Transports is somewhat sloppier – in fact, it’s one of the worst of the ten I’m highlighting this weekend – but I’ve made note of what […]
Saudi Arabia’s FX Reserves Drop To Four-Year Low Amid Oil Price Collapse
By Rupert Hargreaves Saudi Arabia’s FX reserves dropped for the 13th consecutive month during February as below oil prices continue to weigh on the Kingdom’s finances. That’s according to a flash research note on the Kingdom’s financial position from HSBC. The country’s FX reserves stood at $593 billion in February, a month-on-month drop of $9.4 billion. […]
Stocks End Week Higher After Fed Chair Yellen Strikes Dovish Tone
Stocks ended the week higher after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen emphasized that rate hikes by the central bank will be gradual, spurring the market-implied odds of a rate hike at the April FOMC meeting to drop to zero. MACRO NEWS: Speaking at the Economic Club of New York on Tuesday, Federal Reserve Chair Janet […]
Four Stocks That Gained Over 40% In Q1 And Are Still Strong Buys
“Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” – John Maynard Keynes With the major stock market indices either ending in the red or merely edging into the green territory – in terms of their year-to-date performance – investors remain highly skeptical about where to invest for better returns.

“Production Freeze” Narrative Collapses In Two Days: Russian Oil Output Hits New Post-Soviet Record
How quickly the oil production freeze narrative has fallen apart. Source: stockboardasset Indeed, it’s been a tough two days for oil bulls holding on to hope that excess oil production will normalize in the near term and that the world’s oil suppliers would somehow manage to curb oil production in the aftermath of the OPEC’s November […]
Rickards: ‘Unallocated Gold Is A Euphemism For No Gold’
I think that Rickards is correct in his judgement, and joins many others including Kyle Bass, who because of their backgrounds are much harder to ridicule and dismiss by the creatures of the bullion banks. And in some of their more recent remarks about this, one can almost feel the desperation. And here and there, […]
International Economic Week In Review: Japan Is Really Hurting
Since the beginning of the year, international news has slowly but consistently been grinding slower. It started with a series of policy missteps from China followed by Japan’s 4Q contraction. US news has also slowly ground weaker. The EU can’t seem to generate any inflation and, thanks to a strong sterling, the UK is relying solely […]
Gold Forecast: April 2016
Gold prices settled at $1222.19 an ounce on Friday, making a gain of 0.49% on the week but suffering a loss of 0.47% over the month.
