While CNN and ABC news have turned really vicious against Trump, they are failing to report the real impact of world events that can undo everything. As we head into April/May, we are looking at a real crisis emerging that is beyond contemplation. The prospect of the breakup of the European Union because Brussels refuses […]

The week ended with Asia happy to see consolidation as the name of the game. All core indices closed weaker in Friday’s trading, but it was interesting to see that the Nikkei has lost ground whilst both Shanghai and Hang Seng continue to make ground on the week. The JPY is back flirting with the mid […]

The Deutsche-Wirtschafts-Nachrichten (DWN) has been under attack by politicians in Europe for reporting the truth. DWN editor Michael Maier has sent a sharp protest to the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker.

Pensions have been attacked 11 times since the crisis began in 2010. The very day Greece asked the IMF for help was precisely on […]

QUESTION: Marty, you said the “main resistance stands for this week at 20505.” The Dow stopped today at 20504.41 and closed on the high. Nobody produced numbers like you do. The Dow goes up and the euro declines. I can connect the dots. Is this correct? ANSWER: Correct. It is the capital flows and Europe […]

Another strong opening session for the week in Asia with equity markets improving from where they left-off on Friday.
