Expanding Range Slightly On S&P 500; Next Key Area 1120

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 13:59:13 GMT

We've poked our head a bit higher than the highs of yesterday (S&P 1117) on the opening flood of buy orders; a small positive there. The last 2 sessions have been marked by new highs as the market poked its head out of the box, and then reversals back down - so it would seem unlikely for that to happen 3 days in a row.[More...]

Forget Yesterday, It's All About Jobs

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 13:21:30 GMT

Good morning. Stocks tanked in the last half-hour on Thursday and while the major news outlets attributed the decline to either profit taking or some trepidation in front of this morning's big Jobs report, we'd like to offer a little more substantial reason for the 85 point dive on an otherwise subdued day of trading.[More...]

Daily Analysis And Trading Strategies 12-04-09

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 13:19:00 GMT

Quote of the day: The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. – Walt Disney EURUSD Trading strategy: stand aside Downside is under pressure after the euro failed to breach higher, past 1.5145, on yesterday. The decline in equities favored the pullback into the 1.5050 support region and intra-day sentiment remains negative as long as 1.5100/15 is seen in the upper territory. Extended losses below 1.5045 may bring this week’s lows around 1.4975 in focus. As mentioned in my previous article – while a sustained break above 1113 in S&P500 does not occur – the euro will remain in-range below 1.5150.[More...]

Fed Balance Sheet Declines By $15 Billion After Improbable Reduction In MBS, Excess Reserves, Monetary Base Hit Record

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 04:14:41 GMT

The Federal Reserve's balance sheet declined by $15 billion to $2,183 billion from the prior week, after the Fed presumably offloaded $2.7 billion in MBS: this is the first time since QE started that MBS holdings have declined. If anyone can tell us just who the idiots are who bought MBS from the Fed (and at what price), and who the even greater idiots are who are supposed to believe this, please send us an email.[More...]

A Well Balanced Wealth Management Investment Strategy

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:43:41 GMT

Inflation and deflation are the two most important factors for a well designed wealth management investment strategy. Inflation destroys the long term purchasing power while deflation reduces the effectiveness of the capitalism's basic profit machine. A well designed long term strategy thus needs to have a well balanced hedge in both economic cycles. Harry Browne's permanent portfolio is designed over various major asset classes to tackle this problem. A more actively managed strategy is Doug Roberts' Follow the Fed Strategy.[More...]

Best Buy: This Season's Top Retail Stock?

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:59:53 GMT

“I think it’s Best Buy, BBY for all you home gamers. It reports December 15th and I think it will deliver, yes, indeed… We went to a local Best Buy, under cover, of course, and found that…They have 47 different sets of flat panel TVs, versus 11 at Walmart. Average price, $957, cheaper than Walmart. This best buy beat Walmart on price. Hallelujah! Best Buy had great Black Friday traffic. The crowds were quote, materially bigger than last year.[More...]

AP source: Apple in talks to buy Lala.com

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 03:51:00 GMT

LOS ANGELES - Apple Inc. is in advanced talks to buy online music retailer Lala.com, a Silicon Valley startup that has threatened "the end of the MP3" with its fast song-streaming application.
In October, Lala co-founder Bill Nguyen demonstrated to the AP a working model of an application the company had developed for Apple's iPhone.
The song quality is lower than what Apple's iTunes songs offer, but "intelligent caching" allows tracks to load and play in seconds, with playback possible even outside of cell phone coverage.
