Cyber Attacks

Norse Corp’s Live View of Cyber Attacks The FBI testified that they want backdoors to all encryption.

OPINIONS vs. Quantitative Modeling

QUESTION: Dear Martin, Do you expect all markets to align with the 2015.75 turning point (or the few months following, due to false moves)?

Nigel Farage Calls The Euro “A Failed Dictatorship”

Nigel Farage is one of the few politicians who have a clue about economics and real capital flows because he came from the commodity sector, not a law school. I cannot endorse what he says more.
