ETFs To Win And Lose As Third Rate Hike Looms
All eyes are currently on the crucial two-day FOMC meeting (starting today) as the central bank is highly anticipated to raise interest rates for the third time this year by 25 bps.

What’s Worth It
Earlier this year, two law professors at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law took issue with of all things Tobin’s Q. Though named for James Tobin, the idea had been introduced much earlier by several people. Tobin popularized one view of the concept.

Market Talk – Tuesday, Sept. 25
The Asian start seemed confused when opening lower, but it was not long before buyers stepped in.

Bearish Swing-Trade Setups To Be Tracking
The bears are trying to extend the sell-off into a third straight day. But let’s be frank, the selling is hardly anything to get concerned with at this point, there is little volume to it, and the VIX indicator is hardly moving either, as it still sits in the 12’s. That means, the dip can’t […]
