Oct 07, 2018 Jeremy Parkinson Finance, No picture 0

This week is likely to be dull, as there is very little important data scheduled for release compared to a typical agenda.

Inflation Is Starting To Heat Up

Oct 07, 2018 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

For years now analysts, and the media have been trying to convince everyone there is no inflation despite central banks’ massive quantitative easing programs. Of course this is ridiculous.

Oct 07, 2018 Jeremy Parkinson Finance 0

Most traders recognized the market was overbought and ripe for some profit-taking at the beginning of last week. Most traders, however, didn’t appear to think it would actually happen.

From CMLViz: October is historically the most volatile month of the year for stocks and 2018 is proving to be no different. On a stock specific note, Intel now has analysts strongly on two different sides — either it is making a comeback or it has lost ground forever to AMD. That may mean more volatility, but that has in […]
