March 2018 Beige Book: Reading Between The Lines – Rate Of Economic Expansion Again Little Changed
The consolidated economic report from the 12 Federal Reserve Districts (Beige Book) stated “economic activity expanded at a modest to moderate pace across the 12 Federal Reserve Districts in January and February“. The previous report stated “economy continued to expand from late November through the end of the year, with 11 Districts reporting modest to […]
A Trade War Off These Import Figures?
After an incredible run, up nearly 10% in just four months, imports took a break in January 2018. Year-over-year, not seasonally-adjusted, imports gained 9.5%, a rate that is better than experienced during the similar upturn in 2014 but still well short of what the rest of the world requires for global growth. The fact that […]
Comparing The 25 Most Notable Cryptocurrencies
Comparing the 25 Most Notable Cryptocurrencies Since garnering more mainstream attention, the rise of Bitcoin has been debated openly by government officials, financial institutions, and mass media outlets. A segment on Bitcoin was even recently broadcast to millions of viewers on the popular The Ellen DeGeneres Show. While Bitcoin remains the undisputed bellwether for digital currencies, […]
GrubHub – Chart Of The Day
The Chart of the Day belongs to GrubHub (GRUB). I found the food delivery stock by using Barchart to sort today’s New 52 Week High list first by the highest Weighted Alpha, then again by technical buy signals of 80% or more.I then use the Flipchart feature to review charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy […]
Will ECB Drive EUR To 1.25?
After rising for 4 straight days, EUR/USD pared its gains ahead of Thursday’s European Central Bank monetary policy announcement. The ECB is widely expected to leave monetary policy unchanged but among all of this week’s rate decisions, theirs should be the most market moving. Policymakers have been very clear that sometime this year, their guidance […]

E Do Not Look To The Bank Of Canada To Raise Rates In 2018
It is not often that we see a central banker look at the future with as much concern as Governor Stephen Poloz did today, when he announced there will no change in the central bank’s policy rate currently set at 1.25%. The Governor does not like what he has seen so far and is very […]
Why Is Trump’s Tariff Talk Attractive (To Some)?
One of the first things I learned in undergrad economics was the idea that free trade is one of the only things that most economists agree about. The idea is simple and was probably said best by Joan Robinson: “If your trading partner dumps rocks into their harbor, you do not make yourself better off […]
The Fed Is Set To Repeat Errors Of The 1930s
Tariffs are back in the news. But policymakers seem unable to understand what that means to consumers. President Donald Trump announced that he would impose a 25% tariff on imported steel and a 10% tariff on aluminum. Some economists and consumers worry this will raise prices. Billionaire Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross explained this won’t […]
