Homebuilder Industry Stock Outlook – April 2016
After a good run in 2015 — possibly the best since 2007 when the housing recession had set in — the housing market had a shakier start this year. The relentless drop in oil prices, China growth worries, sluggishness in other emerging markets like Brazil and Russia, and slowing growth in Japan and Europe, slumping […]
Red Dragon Awakes: Chinese Equities On The Move
It’s no secret that Emerging Markets have been outperforming U.S. Equities since mid-January. We get it, the financial media loves to look at U.S. equities. That’s their problem. We aren’t myopic. Instead, we like to look globally across all asset classes to find opportunities. Why would we ever want to limit ourselves? There is so […]
E BlackBerry: It’s Time To Do This One Thing

The Employment Report made for a positive headline (solid) saw […]
E Is High Yield Signaling An All Clear?
In case you haven’t noticed, the high yield bond market has been rejuvenated lately to unbear-like behavior.The HYG high yield corporate bond ETF is actually up more than the Dow YDT, putting it ahead of about everything except utilities and gold. The inflows into these bonds have been looking up recently as an article “High Yield Market Technicals” […]
The Trade Wars Begin: China Retaliates To Steel Tariffs With Global Anti-Dumping Duties
When looking back in history, December 23, 2015 may be the date the global trade wars officially began. On that day, as we reported at the time, the U.S. imposed a 256% tariff on Chinese steel imports. It did so perhaps with good reason: with its local end markets mothballed, China was desperate to dump […]
