Yanking The Wax Away
I know almost nothing about politics in Brazil. I had heard, however, there was a Presidential election on Sunday (that is, yesterday), and the “Donald Trump of Brazil” was rising in the polls. Well, he won, and Brazil equities exploded higher this morning. Examining the Fibonacci retracements, I noticed that we were trading near a […]

Chinese Renminbi Falls Even After Support From PBOC
Last week, China had a week’s long holiday as the country celebrated its independence. Over the weekend, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) moved to stimulate the economy by lowering the capital reserve requirements for banks. The new measure will likely free more than $109 billion in capital. This move was also aimed at helping […]
Surefire Way To Reduce The Trade Deficit: Have A Recession
Trump is desperate to reduce the trade deficit. Perhaps his trade policies will do just that, via global recession. A prolonged global trade war will add fuel to a nasty global recession. But look at the bright side. It’s a surefire way to reduce imports more than exports. The bigger the recession, the bigger Trump’s […]

It really came quick! In the market last week, we also saw some big shifts […]

Will The Market Find A Bounce Today?
My Swing Trading Approach I came into Friday with one long position, which was an ETF that acts as a short position on the S&P 500. I closed out SPXU at $33.55 for a +4% profit. I am now 100% cash entering today, and looking to play a potential bounce if the market will allow for it. Indicators Volatility […]
Tesla Tumbles To Post-Tweet Lows As Uncertainty Explodes
Tesla has not been this much more volatile than Nasdaq in almost five years (seven times more volatile) as Elon Musk’s recent mocking of the SEC has sparked yet more selling this morning – back near its lowest since April… And shares are tumbling once again following questions this weekend about Tesla’s safety record… …and questions also […]
