Dollar Rallies: Fiscal Stimulus Spending, Rate Hike And Inflation Expectations
The US dollar posted strong gains this week, at one point staying firm above the psychological level of 100, a resistance level that has been breached as the Dollar Index jumped to 101 yesterday. After the initial turmoil of the election outcome just a week ago, the US dollar maintained strong gains, led by market […]
E Gold: Caveat Emptor
Here is why I’m tentative on holding significant positions in gold, silver, and miners right now. Prices have fallen below all of the key weekly moving averages, and we are still within the timing window for an 8-year cycle drop. The 8-year cycle forces will abate after February of next year. Until then, we need to proceed […]
Dividend Aristocrats In Focus Part 45: Hormel
Hormel (HRL) is a huge food company today, but it started from humble beginnings. In 1891, George A. Hormel established the Geo. A. Hormel & Co. in Austin, Minnesota. The company realized rapid growth, as consumers took a liking to fresh pork products. By 1910, the company was already planning nationwide and international expansion. In […]
Will Trump Pursue, Tolerate, Or Resist US Dollar Strength?
The US dollar is on a roll, crushing the yen and the euro. But will this last? Here is the view from Deutsche Bank: Here is their view, courtesy of eFXnews: It is possible that a strong USD will be worn by the coming administration as a badge of honor – a signal of global confidence in […]
ParkerVision Continues To Look Strong After Conference Call
ParkerVision (Nasdaq:PRKR), a Florida-based technology company, released quarterly earnings yesterday. While the stock dipped during yesterday’s session, aggressive investors should view this dip as a buying opportunity to benefit from Parker’s strong patent litigation prospects over the next six months. Business Model ParkerVision designs and develops proprietary technology, radio frequency and other products. PRKR technology […]
EUR/USD And GBP/USD Forecast – Friday, Nov. 18
EUR/USD The Euro continues to slide as the Thursday session initially saw buyers enter the market, and then the market roll over completely. It looks like the 1.05 level being tested is all but a foregone conclusion at the moment, but with the overextension of the selling pressure, I prefer to see short-term rallies that […]
Today’s Trading Plan: Lunging For All-Time Highs
Technical Analysis: Strong move from the market yesterday, with the S&P 500 (SPX) rising another 0.5% and just six points away from new all-time highs. Currently SPX is underway on the second leg of the bounce that began last week. If it is anything like the Brexit bounce it should still have more room to run before […]
Friday Falling Dollar Foolishness – OPEC Deal Rumors Right On Schedule
Down goes the Dollar! That’s significant because it’s Options Expiration Day today AND we’re settling the December Oil Futures Contracts (/CLZ6) so the well-timed 0.5% drop in the Dollar (which we predicted – thank you!) is boosting oil, gold, the indexes – well everything priced in Dollars – you get the idea. This is how they take advantage of […]
And So It Begins; The Trump Re-Shoring Hype
People may get tired of me calling everything hype this and hysteria that. Hell, I get tired of me doing that. But as a market manager I have got to use my B/S Detector as a primary tool because the markets move on emotion in the short-term, before whatever fundamentals are to emerge finally do […]
Millennials: Taking Over The Economy
“Want to hammock on Sunday?” asked M. M is a friend I made at my indoor rock-climbing gym who regularly sends me Snapchats. He enjoys heading outdoors, hiking and climbing every chance he gets. And he hammocks … which means he takes time out to find two trees in a park or some other outdoor […]
