Why Russia Dominates OTC While Malta, Belize Lead Exchange Sector
Malta and Belize are currently reported to be leading the cryptocurrency exchange industry in terms of trade volume. On the other hand, Russia leads the way in over-the-counter (OTC) crypto transactions with over 2,000 bitcoin being traded weekly in Moscow. Local reports estimate that daily crypto trading figures in the country’s capital reach $50 million with […]
The Debt Is High, But Does It Matter?
The US stock market has been on a fantastic run in 2018 even though returns are close to the historical average because other markets have seen weakness. As you can see from the chart below, US stocks underperformed last cycle and outperformed this cycle. Source: Bank Of America Merrill Lynch Some of this relative performance is caused […]
Emerging Market Euphoria Is Back With A Bang
Traditionally, every time 10Y US Treasury Yields have jumped solidly above the 3% level – as they have in recent days – Emerging Markets were among the first casualties. But not this time, in fact, quite the opposite as developing-nation stocks climbed for the fifth time in six days and the lira and rand led […]
Homebuilder Confidence Stays Steady In September: 5 Top Picks
The confidence level among the nation’s homebuilders for newly-built, single-family homes remained unchanged in September from the prior month on the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI).

“This is just stupid time. I can’t believe the valuations at this stage”, says Investitute co-founder Jon Najarian. The new mania is pot stocks. Valuations are beyond absurd, which is what always happens in bubbles. Investitute co-founder Jon Najarian says It’s Stupid Time.

Natural Gas Takes A Breather
After spiking over 4% yesterday, the October natural contract pulled back slightly today, settling down a bit less than a percent. On the day the October contract saw by far the largest loss with the rest of the strip more stable. The result was a decent move back in the V/X October/November spread that has […]
The Neatest Idea Ever For Reducing The Fed’s Balance Sheet
I mentioned a week and a half ago that I’d had a “really cool” idea that I had mentioned to a member of the Fed’s Open Market Desk, and I promised to write about it soon. “It’s an idea that would simultaneously be really helpful for investors and help the Fed reduce a balance sheet that they […]
EC Tilray Goes Cray-Cray
I’ve disclosed a few times here that last December I bought the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF (MJ) on the first or second day after it changed from a Latin America real estate ETF. When I first bought there was some excitement and the fund went up a little, then it went down a lot […]
