A Futurist’s Vision Of Energy
Recently a client drew our attention to a presentation by Stanford University Futurist Tony Seba. He has made a splash with his predictions of imminent, dramatic changes in the transportation industry. In less than a generation he expects a world of self-driving (i.e. autonomous), electric vehicles (EVs) supported by a heavily solar/wind-powered electric grid. In June […]
GBP: Further Weakness Likely, But Not Inevitable
Talking Points: UK Prime Minister Theresa May remains under pressure ahead of the start of the fifth round of Brexit negotiations between the EU and the UK.

I thought that there would be a phase consolidation taking place between 2530-2540, but the […]
2550 And 2600 Resistance
