Japan was again the talking point of the session with yet another down day. Initially, the index opened up 0.5% but it was just a matter of time until the sell orders hit the screens again and we were all looking for the bid. The stronger Yen was one reason being provided and we […]

QUESTION: Marty: I have been waiting to sell the Euro on that reaction rally you have been calling for since your post on January 9th. You stated there that a weekly closing above “11055 area and a small gap up to the 11365-11375 area.” Do you think this will reach your 116 target or stop […]

The Federal Reserve is in a real crisis. Interest rates are falling negative around the world which by no means has succeeded in stimulating anything.

With cash being anything which is agreed the most marketable asset, wouldn’t the people of Europe just transact in another form of cash (USD, gold, silver […]

The real winner of the Iowa caucus was Marco Rubio (born May 28, 1971), the junior United States Senator from the state of Florida who has served since January 2011. He is the establishment’s pick since they do not like Cruz and loath Trump. Rubio is a Cuban American from Miami, so he is expected to gather the Spanish vote. Rubio is, […]
