From my past analysis here and here I was focusing more on the bearish scenario, BUT price never broke down our support levels at 2445 or 2258. Price has risen now above 2480 and the bullish scenario has become the favorite one. However, I would like to remind that even if I see 2510 or higher as a possible […]

Traders are trying to score big – but they’re playing a sucker’s game. The idea is to buy volatility when it’s low and wait for the ultimate move to the upside. They are dreaming of a move we haven’t seen since 2008 when volatility took off like a rocket ship into space. Back then, the […]

When it comes to low-risk dividend investing, it’s usually hard to go wrong with dividend aristocrats, those 51 S&P 500 companies that have managed to grow their payouts for at least 25 consecutive years.

USDCAD extended its downside movement from 1.2662 to as low as 1.2061. As long as the price is below the bearish trend line on the 4-hour chart, the bounce from 1.2061 could be treated as consolidation of the downtrend, and a further decline to 1.1800 area is still possible. Only a clear break above the trend line […]

Investing is a contrarian game. The only way to win in the long run is to see things that others have missed, finding the value in places where it has been ignored. It is certainly based on sets of objective criteria, but also comes down to the human judgment of how to weigh multiple and […]

Ok, so the debate continues about what exactly it is that YTD lows in 10Y yields portend not just for Treasurys, but also for risk assets and for the global economy more generally. Needless to say, the recent bond rally doesn’t seem to say anything good about the future of the reflation narrative that drove […]
