Yellen Gives Bulls What They Want

Mar 16, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

(I’m back in the turret briefly, but my hands are failing me limiting my typing, so this report is shortened.) There’s a lot of spin (um, lying?) going on with the Fed’s announcement Wednesday. It’s consistent with past comments and runs as follows: Consumer Confidence has improved—no it hasn’t. Economic Growth is growing at “moderate” […]

5 Small Caps For Momentum Investors

Mar 16, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

I have been asked the same question many, many times: Why couldn’t you find these stocks much earlier? Well I’m listening and now using Barchart to find stocks much earlier by using more short term screening criteria. Today I used Barchart to sort the S&P 600 Small Cap Index stocks first for the highest number of new […]

Gold: Sets Up To Resume Broader Uptrend

Mar 16, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Gold: With Gold rallying on Wednesday, we expect more upside pressure in the days ahead. To hold on to its downside pressure, further decline is envisaged. On the downside, support comes in at the 1,220.00 level where a break will turn attention to the 1,210.00 level. Further down, a cut through here will open the […]

E Economic Growth And Higher Wages

Mar 16, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Economic growth and higher wages historically weren’t always associated, at least for decades (typically before the Gold standard was dropped and global growth expanded, largely -in time- at the expense of American workers and our industrial expansion), with ‘inflation’ as somehow being ‘desirable’. The idea was to see profits and growth occurring consistently, amid organically-achieved […]

Michael Noonan: Gold & Silver – The Elites Have Decimated The Country

Mar 16, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

TDC Note – Be sure and catch one of my first interviews, with the one and only Michael Noonan, from June 2014 – LINK I like both gold and silver. Both have been money, real money, depending on who you ask, for anywhere from four to six thousand years. When people say something like, “that’s stood […]

E El-Erian Has It Right: The Failure Of Monetarism And Asset Purchasing

Mar 16, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Mohamed El-Erian, former PIMCO guru and current Allianz economic adviser, warns that corporate cash, now being hoarded, must be unlocked for growth to take place. Otherwise he fears political collapse and economic demise. He rejects the concept that people’s QE (helicopter money) should be attempted, because of the unknown political ramifications. I don’t know that […]

EC Senior Discounts? Oil Prices And Old Rulers

Mar 16, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Today’s low oil prices are probably not the result, even in part, of elderly men ruling over the world’s major energy-exporting nations. Still, it may be worth noting that the royal sons of Saudi Arabia’s modern founder Abdulaziz bin Saud are mostly older now than they have been in the past, and that the leaders […]

Mar 16, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Shares of Vitae Pharmaceuticals (VTAE) are up almost 50% after hours after the company announced positive proof-of-concept phase 2a results in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. The company’s drug used in the study is known as VTP-43742. Psoriasis is a disease of the skin where scaly patches that itch occur. The results were positive […]

No Rate Hikes Because FOMC’s Models Don’t Even Believe The Unemployment Rate

Mar 16, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

If there is any doubt as to the confusion inside the FOMC, one needs only to examine its models. The latest updated projections make a full mockery of both monetary policy and the theory that guides it. Ferbusand the rest don’t buy the labor market story, either, which is why the Fed can only be hesitant […]

The Safety Net: Expect Another Cut To This 7.8% Yield

Mar 16, 2016 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

One of the strongest indicators that a company could cut its dividend is that it’s done so in the past. Once a company has made that decision once, it’s easier to do it again. And again. I suspect that’s going to be the case for Frontier Communications (Nasdaq: FTR). The company provides telephone and broadband Internet services […]
