3 Cyber Insurance Stocks In Focus Post Facebook Breach
A cyber-attack on Facebook’s (FB – Free Report) security system last week leaked personal information of more than 50 million account holders worldwide. Hackers exploited the social media network’s “view as” feature to gain access to user accounts. This is the biggest security breach in the social media giant’s 14-year history. This is basically the result of […]
E U.S. Student Indebtedness Will Affect Future Wealth Accumulation
While the global financial crisis may be fading from memory, the roots of the next one might already be taking hold. Even though there is no imminent worry about a new global financial crisis, nonetheless there is also little doubt that in some sectors of the advanced economies the debt situation is much larger than […]
Gold’s Bottom Could Be Investors’ Lost Treasure
Get ready, gold bulls: The precious metal could be close to finding a bottom. The price of gold fell back below $1,200 an ounce again last week as the U.S. dollar advanced following another federal funds rate hike. The precious metal logged its sixth straight month of declines, its longest losing streak since 1989. […]

Trump Hails “Single Greatest Agreement Ever Signed”
At the last possible moment, Trump made a deal with Canada. NAFTA is gone USMCA is in but details lacking. Goodbye NAFTA. Hello USMCA. It’s the “single greatest agreement ever signed”. What did it do? There are two ways to look at things. It prevented an absolute tariff disaster Hardly anything at all Curiously, both […]
Best ETFs & Stocks From The Top Sector Of Q3
Healthcare was the best-performing sector of the third quarter, jumping 14.1% — its highest quarterly gain since the first quarter of 2013. The dual tailwinds of encouraging industry fundamentals and the sector’s defensive tilt led to the rally in the sector. The wave of mergers and acquisitions also added to its strength. Solid Trends The […]
Taxable Total Return 3rd Quarter Review
Treasury yields went up across the curve throughout the third quarter of 2018. Once again the rate move was led by the front end of the yield curve, with Treasury bills and notes out to three years experiencing the largest increase in yield. The longer-dated Treasuries were not far behind, with the 10-year Treasury holding […]
E Housing Stock Indexes Continue To Fall
The chart below shows the performance of three U.S. housing stock indexes this year. They are all down YTD, with the Home Construction Index down the most (almost 25%). If the high in January is used as a reference level, then both the Home Construction Index and the Housing Sector Index are in bear market territory […]
Storage Concerns Set In For Natural Gas
The November natural gas contract shot higher today as traders appear increasingly concerned about low storage levels ahead of the impending winter season. The whole winter strip shot higher on the day, but with far less buying from March 2019 and beyond. This has pulled the G/H February/March spread to new narrow levels on […]
The Start Of The Loonie Bull Run?
Although the financial press is all lathered up about the last minute trade agreement reached between the Americans and the Canadians, I am left asking, “what’s the big deal, eh?” Did we really expect anything different? Sure, Trump blustered about how much he didn’t like the Canadian negotiating team and that we had been taking […]
