Trump Talks Down U.S. Dollar: What Lies Ahead For ETFs?
The U.S. dollar has been in the spotlight since before the presidential election. Initially what Donald Trump delivered in speeches was mostly “inward looking”.

Markets Go On Alert
Let me start with what I wrote on Friday: “In my money management process, portfolio ‘risk’ is ‘ratcheted’ up and down based on a series of signals which tend to indicate when market dynamics are either more, or less, favorable for having capital exposed to the market.” As you will notice, portfolios NEVER reach 100% cash levels.

China And Currency Values: Fast Growing Countries Run Trade Deficits
I don’t generally comment on pieces that reference me, but Jordan Weissman has given me such a beautiful teachable moment that I can’t resist.
