The outlier: Vanguard Total Bond Market (BND), which was essentially flat by the close of trading for the week through Nov. 23. The […]
E Cyber Punks
This is the most unproductive day for work ever. Computing power at work is used for booking trips, grabbing on-line discounts and digesting a raft of holiday-related emails. Trolling the internet for deals is perhaps a good way to think about how markets are reacting to the news headlines today – they are ignoring the […]
Sentiment Improves – Upward Reversal Or Just Another Bounce?
The U.S. stock market indexes lost 0.5-0.7% on Friday, as investors’ sentiment remained bearish following the recent declines. The S&P 500 index fell slightly below its Tuesday’s local low.

EUR/USD Rises With Italian Hopes, But Has It Gone Too Far?
EUR/USD is recovering in range on some willingness to compromise from Italy. There are quite a few other concerns. The technical picture remains mostly bearish. EUR/USD is trading above 1.1350, recovering from the lows in the wake of the last week of November. The central driver is Italy’s willingness to compromise on the budget deficit. Deputy […]
XRP Is Winning Social
Wanted to say thanks to everyone who participated in the poll we did over the weekend. It seems the results are pretty clear. This is actually well in line with what I was expecting. I’ve been saying for several weeks now that XRP is winning at social media. Within moments of posting the poll, a slew of responses came in from XRP […]
Italian Yields Tumble, Bank Stocks Soar As Populists Blink In Showdown With EU
That didn’t take long. Two days after boldly threatening to take down Italy’s populist-led government should lawmakers try to change the 2.4% projected budget deficit that has locked Italy into a geopolitical staring contest with the European Commission, Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has become the first to blink. Salvini, the deputy minister who is effectively in […]
