Sector Snapshot: Will The Energy Surge Continue?
The last month has seen a shift in the fortunes of energy stocks with the sector leading the pack with a return over 11%. Will it last? That probably depends more on the direction of the US dollar than it does any of the alleged production agreements that get so much press and rarely produce […]
EUR/USD And GBP/USD Forecast – March 23, 2016
EUR/USD The EUR/USD pair fell during the course of the day on Tuesday, testing the 1.12 level. There is an area that is supportive near that handle, and as a result it looks like the buyers will get involved sooner or later. I also believe that the Federal Reserve stepping away from the extremely hawkish […]
New Home Sales Near Consensus On Muddle-Through Track
Following last month’s dismal showing, new home sales rebounded pretty much in-line with estimates, with the Western region leading the way. Year-on-year sales are up in the West by 10.2% and the Midwest by 1.2%. Sales are down in 3.8% in the Northeast, and 14.3% in the South. There is not a lot of overall […]
Capitalist System & Share Buybacks With John Rubino

Major Signals Suggest New Gold Bull Market Coming Soon?
Written by Austrolib Assuming the fundamental argument of the gold bulls is correct and that: a rising dollar supply means rising price inflation, a rising price inflation means a rising gold price (and over the last century that is certainly the case) the question is did we just see a major trend change? What follows are […]

S&P 500 And Nasdaq 100 Forecast – March 23, 2016
S&P 500 The S&P 500 fell initially during the course of the day on Tuesday, testing the 2040 level for support. We found it there though, and therefore ended up turning back around and formed a hammer. Obviously, I feel that this is a very bullish sign and as a result if we can break […]
