Dollar (UUP) Rises Most Since June, Gold (GLD) Falls Most In A Year, Traders Move Up Date For First Fed Hikes

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:47:17 GMT

This trio of Bloomberg headlines is exactly why I've been cautious about jumping in the crowded trade. (in fact we actually went long the dollar as an insurance policy last week in case the crowded trade finally burns down) Anyone who lived through 2007 and 2008 knows what happens when crowded trades reverse... not to mention those of us around in March 2000. Those who continue to play the crowded trade have been big winners, and it's the right thing to do as long as you can jump off the bubble before the hedge funds all try to exit the narrow door at exactly the same time.[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...]

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...]
