What To Expect From 2011

by Endre Dobozy I guess the biggest question on most investors minds is what they can expect from 2011. Honestly, this is a difficult question to answer as 2010 should have been a down year for all intents and purposes, but instead managed to finish the year in positive territory, after taking us on a [...]


Quantitative Easing

G’day Traders, I will probably write another day on how the Fed acts under Bernanke and why I believe their methods are a real hindrance to the economy. However, when it comes to the markets this time they played them like puppet masters (not that this is a good thing). The Fed announced $600bil worth [...]


China Trade Surplus

G’day Traders, As if the Americans need any more ammo against the Chinese, the China trade surplus looks like coming in at its biggest since the financial crisis. What this means is that China is exporting much more than they import, in value terms. Of course, this is because they add value to the raw [...]

Indexes Continue To Move Higher

G’day Traders, Firstly, I would like to answer a question posed by one of you on a previous post. The question revolved around ETFs and my book in relation to using simple fundamentals to choose ETFs (page 30-33). The fundamental I was talking about here was the economic situation in a sector or region that [...]


A Day Of Rest

G’day Traders, It seems more than just Le Tour needed a rest day yesterday. The markets simply did nothing and it could be a sign that things are settling down for a while, or it could be a pause before a big move. I would guess there is about a 50/50 chance of big moves [...]


Better The Devil You Know

G’day Traders, Well I had a fantastic last few days. I drove down to Croatia with a few friends for a few days at the sea. Now I think I have an idea why maybe the Southern European countries are in a bit of trouble economically – I arrived and completely relaxed. We rented an [...]


Strong Tuesday

G’day traders, I have just arrived in Europe tonight after a comfortable flight from New York to Vienna, and I am now in the Czech Republic. The markets are still open in the US right now, but have just moved above some strong resistance so it’s great for everyone who is long. The EUR has [...]


A Range Of Bulls

G’day traders, This morning my wife and I are in transit again, after having a fantastic time in the US, we are now bound for Europe. The markets have a variety of moves happening. We are seeing lots of Bullish moves for Indices, Grains and Softs. After the Dow’s huge movement over the weekend, it [...]


Difficult decisions…

Good Morning, I’m down in Sydney today. My flight down last night was delayed so I am a little dazed and confused. Well that’s a little over the top I guess, but I think it’s more about the markets. Equities rallied last night with the ES completing an upside down head and shoulders simply because [...]
