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...]

Interesting Stat: How Much Private Sector GDP Is From Construction And Real Estate?

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:15:56 GMT

Back in June, we discussed commercial real estate at length following attendance at a large real estate conference in NYC. Our tone was cautious and one question we wondered about was the percentage of GDP that real estate represents. We actually came across the answer back in August and meant to share then, but didn't get to it. Since the question/topic remains highly relevant to considering the potential negative economic drag from depressed real estate activity, we're sharing now -- the following table is from an 8/28/09 NYTs article, "Construction That Fueled Growth in the Sun Belt Slows":[More...]
