Stocks And Precious Metals Charts – Saving Private Equity – No Fear
The US stock futures markets had slumped badly in the overnight session due to the escalating ‘trade war’ with China.

Should You Buy Allergan Plc When Prices Drop?
Allergan plc (NYSE: AGN) investors have enjoyed seeing the stock price increase by 16.9% over the last month. As a large-cap stock with high coverage by analysts, you could assume any recent changes in the company’s outlook is already priced into the stock. However, could the stock still be trading at a relatively cheap price? Let’s […]
Market Talk – Wednesday, April 4
The choppy conditions spread across all three sectors today with volatility from Australia to America. The only common theme today appeared to be volatility, resulting in the rejection of both large gains and losses! The ASX recovered from a very weak open, whilst the Shanghai index lost all gains to close down on the day. […]

What If I Am Wrong And The Bull Market Is Over?
I have some issues that are taking me away from watching the market. Plus, I need a break from it. So I am posting this mid-day. The Semiconductors are holding up reasonably well so far, and as long as this index is pointing higher, then I remain optimistic about stocks in general. However, lately it […]
GBP/USD Headed For 1.42?
GBP/USD will be on the move with U.K. composite and service sector PMI numbers scheduled for release on Thursday. So far we know that manufacturing activity remained stable but construction activity contracted in the month of March.

General Commodity Breakdown
What a reversal today, eh? Jeeeeeeeeez. Anyway, just a glance at a couple of big commodity-focused funds, showing how the world of commodities (which everyone seems bullish about, since it’s an “inflation trade”, straight from the early 1970s) is going south.
Why The Standard Model Of Future Energy Supply Doesn’t Work
The most prevalent view regarding future oil supply, as well as total energy supply, seems to be fairly closely related to that expressed by Peak Oilers.

Understanding The Trade “Nuclear” Threat, China Dumping Treasuries
It’s highly unlikely China would dump US treasuries in a trade war. Yet, the talk surfaces all the time. Earlier today, China’s vice finance minister dismisses talk of selling US Treasuries in response to tariffs.
