Balancing The Debt Ceiling Debate And North Korea Fears
(Audio length 00:14:05) As we kick off a busier time of the year for investors we again have money moving into safe havens.

Chubb: A Conservative Dividend Grower In The Insurance Industry
Chubb (CB) is one of the best managed insurance companies in the world and has increased its dividend for more than 20 consecutive years. Prior to the 2016 merger of Chubb and ACE (the largest merger ever in the history of the insurance industry), these companies had raised their dividends for 33 and 22 consecutive […]
Under The Line
Today is going decently so far. I’ve got three October put positions (XRT, AMZN, IWM) which are doing decently, and my short equity portfolio is overall showing a profit. I’m quite light right now, having started the day with 25 positions and currently at 39 (for me, “heavy” is like 80 positions). The uptrend on […]
July Factory Orders Plunge To Weakest Since Feb (As Boeing Bounce Disappears)

A Perspective On Secular Bull And Bear Markets
Was the March 2009 low the end of a secular bear market and the beginning of a secular bull? At this point, over eight years later, the S&P 500 has set a series of inflation-adjusted record highs based on monthly averages of daily closes. Let’s examine the past to broaden our understanding of the range […]
USD/JPY – Another Invalidation Of Breakout
Earlier today, the U.S. dollar moved sharply lower against the yen as demand for safe-haven assets increased after yesterday’s South Korea’s Defense Ministry commentaries. As a result, USD/JPY slipped under important support line once again, invalidating the earlier breakout. What does it mean for the exchange rate? EUR/USD From today’s point of view, we […]
Some Preliminary Thoughts On The ECB’s Capital Key
The ECB’s asset purchase program is constrained by the self-imposed guidelines. As it QE continues, the ECB seems to be bumping against some of these parameters.
