The Three Big Lessons We Didn’t Learn From The Economic Crisis
Ten years ago, after making piles of money gambling with other people’s money, Wall Street nearly imploded, and the outgoing George W. Bush and incoming Obama administrations bailed out the bankers. America should have learned three big lessons from the crisis. We didn’t, to our continuing peril. First unlearned lesson: Banking is a risky business […]

Looking at this week’s Commitments of Traders Report, there are few notable changes in speculator positioning. The only move worth highlighting can be seen in Swiss franc net positions.

The S&P 500 (SPY) gained 1.1% in a week of choppy, sometimes slow-motion, trading action. On Monday, the index trickled higher into its short-term downtrend line. It […]

The Market Holds The World On Its Shoulders
The news keeps on coming, folks. Manafort, tariffs, hurricanes, and Kavanaugh are a few of the stories that sit atop the market’s strong shoulders. These headlines brought out the doomsayers.
