Trump Economic Adviser Cohn Quits

Gary Cohn to quit increases the possibility that the tariffs by Trump will be passed.

Gold Price Recovery May Fizzle As Gloomy Markets Bid Up US Dollar

Gold Price Recovery May Fizzle As Gloomy Markets Bid Up US Dollar

Gold prices surged as the US Dollar fell for a fourth straight day, boosting the standby anti-fiat alternative. The move probably reflected the revival of the “monetary policy catch-up” narrative. This envisions the erosion of the greenback’s expected yield advantage as other central banks follow the Fed’s hawkish lead. The yellow metal got another push upward […]
Reaching The End Of The Red Zone With The S&P 500

Reaching The End Of The Red Zone With The S&P 500

From time to time, we take on the specific challenge of forecasting where the S&P 500 will over an extended period of time. That’s usually because of a limitation of our dividend futures-based forecasting model, where because we use historic stock prices as the base reference points from which we project future stock prices, we occasionally […]

E Market Briefing For Wednesday, March 7

New market angina surrounding Gary Cohn’s resignation late Tuesday is emblematic of the turmoil we’ve projected and seen since late January’s repeated call for a serious S&P breakdown; followed by periods of effort trying to reorient the market (whether or not it became a full Spring rally); but definitely in our view NOT a time […]
Options: The Level One Blues

Options: The Level One Blues

When you open your first option trading account (or add option capability to an existing equities brokerage account), your broker assigns you an options approval level. Usually the levels run from Level One to Level Five. Your approval level determines which option strategies you are allowed to use in that account. The idea behind the approval […]

The One Investment Every Retiree Needs – But Few Know About

The sell-off that racked the markets last month was the best thing that could have happened to retired investors. No, I’m not being a wise guy.
