Jan 24, 2018 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

An optimist says the glass is half full. A pessimist says the glass if half empty. And a Vox writer says if you drink 60 glasses of that stuff in the next hour, it’ll kill you. A case in point is the recent Vox column by Umair Irfan, warning that the Bitcoin network has caused a […]

A Tale Of Two Funds

Jan 24, 2018 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

TrimTabs’ methodology is reborn. It’s never easy finding a reliable source of positive alpha. In a Darwinian sense, that’s as it should be. If we all snagged good numbers, who’d be left to pocket the bad ones? For a long time, a search for alpha among exchange-traded funds always returned the ticker symbol ‘TTFS.’ Originally […]

With WTI crude oil now trading above $60 a barrel, some are predicting we’ll hit as high as $80 in 2018.

As most people know, the Kansas City Fed has been holding its annual symposium in Jackson, WY, for a very long time. Supposedly a draw for Paul Volcker’s fly fishing hobby when he was Chairman, the conference came to include heavyweights on a regular basis. Most of them, especially those in the early years, however, […]

Jan 24, 2018 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Dow Jones 30 The Dow Jones 30 initially tried to rally during the trading session on Tuesday but found itself a bit overextended. This makes sense, we have gone straight up in the air over the last month, and therefore we need to see some type of pullback to offer value for traders. I think […]

Jan 24, 2018 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Written by Dirk Ehnts, Econoblog101 Having just taken a quick look at the CEPR publication “Reconciling risk sharing with market discipline: A constructive approach to euro area reform” (link), I am reminded that many economists still do not grasp the functioning of the fiscal and financial system.

Jan 24, 2018 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Year-to-date gains/losses made in the 9 Major Indices and 9 Major Sectors are shown on the graphs below…amazing gains after only 15 trading days. The SPX is already over half-way to the 10% target, I had forecast in this post for the entirety of 2018. An extended outlook for the SPX sees major resistance at 3000 (its next “Big Round Number”), which is confluent with two external Fibonacci retracement levels (2984 and 3047), as shown […]

This piece will be focused on the T.I.N.A. market that we’ve all been investing in throughout the last handful of years. I’ll be taking a look at the risks and repercussions of such an environment, and how I’ve been dealing with it personally. Many of you may not be familiar with the T.I.N.A. acronym. I’m […]
