Late headlines yesterday from the IMF spooked early trade in Europe, which saw support for core debt markets.

The 10yr Tsy/Bund spread remains […]

We have begun preparing the handouts for the 2015 World Economic Conference (WEC). We will focus on the best trading opportunities moving forward.

Turkish elections have resulted in uncertainty, as the share market fell about 8%. President Tayyip Erdogan was hoping for greater power but the people had different ideas.

We will soon release Phase One of Socrates this month as was demonstrated at the Solution Conference. Yes, it has taken longer than expected but we had to be sure the transition to the Web Access would work as seamlessly as possible. We will not be able to open up the ability to talk and […]

COMMENT: Hi Marty, I just flew from Germany this week on Lufthansa. Looking for movies in the movie section, I found the The Forecaster movie. To my surprise, it was listed under the Lufthansa recommended movie list! I was so pleased to be able to watch the production. Sad that I had to be in […]

Gold broke to new recent lows in euros, with critical support forming at the 1010 level as deflation continues to crush the economy. The largest ETF fund used to be gold, but now with over $900 million in liquidations in May, the fund fell out of the top 10. So far, so good. It appears we are […]
