Calm and steady?

This weekend so far has been one of little news. No big story, prediction or move in any of the financial markets. The stock market has been gliding slightly higher just waiting for a big event to send it into correction. The government has now become a fixed feature of the lending system. Yet, no new news; the unemployment number hints that something is still devastatingly wrong with our economy. This however has already been priced in, as the masses have fallen for the “jobless recovery” theory. […]

Incompetence carries stock market higher

It is no surprise that the corporate financial balance sheets of most publicly traded company is in shambles. Most are lead by absolute morons that live above their millionaire means, borrow their way into wealth and leverage other people’s money at any opportunity. An example of such an incompetent executive is Jim Press. Press is somehow unable to pay his bills with the undeserving pay size that he has gotten for decades. Jim somehow drank himself into $1.35 million of debt for unpaid federal taxes and a personal loan. I just find it incredible that individuals who can’t even manage their own income and pay their own taxes get promoted to executives. […]

Stock market a bubble

Our advice is simple; if you’re not in the inside than you’re in the outside, so therefore stay outside the market and buy the physical assets. Gold is the obvious choice as a safe bet against either the inflation or a recovering economy or deflation caused by shrinking economies. Another very safe investment is cash flow positive foreclosures that can be purchased at affordable levels and rented out. […]

Stock Market battle ground

The demand for the commodity will inflate the prices of the goods that it produced. As long as commodities are priced in the USD, the demand for the dollar will ALWAYS increase with global inflation. Based on this theory, we are expecting the dollar to strengthen when emerging markets correct and in addition bring our own equity markets into a correction. The only danger to the US economy is if the world starts to diversify away from the USD. […]

DJI opens 50 points higher

The only clear safe bet is short the British pound while going long the Euro. […]

The Bears are bulking up in the shadows

All the bears need is a trigger to cause an Alpha bull to cash in his huge gains. This trigger can be anything from tax season, fed increase of interest rate, falling dollar, trade war, FDIC running out of money, or Fed removing the safety net. […]

Obama causes crash in Chinese market!

Obama increased taxes on imported tires buy 35%! The result of his action was that the Shanghai rubber futures tumbled by the daily trading limit today and was halted. […]

Trade war, a big deal!

China announced investigations into US imports two days after Obama increased the tariff of car tires. They have primarily targeted car parts made in the US. This may be a small but alarming action that could be forecasting the trade landscape of this recovery. […]

What way will the market go?

The reality is however that as long as the global reserve currency is the dollar and commodities are priced in dollars, the US has nothing to worry about. As the emerging markets recover and their demand for commodities grow, so well the need to buy and hold USD. We do however recommend all global investors to keep an eye on talks of alternate to dollar as reserve currency, commodities traded outside the USD and bank holiday talks. […]

Gold breaks 1000 USD possibly for the last time

Today, something special happened, and very few in the media are picking it up. Lots of stories and news are floating around from dollar hitting new lows, stock market slightly up, September 11 anniversary, and investor confident the stock market will never drop again. For us, the real story is Gold and that’s what will give the attention to. […]
