Something BIG is brewing in the World Economy. We are definitely getting closer to the point when everyone starts to say OMG! What is going on? The US 2016 Elections are shaping up to be very interesting. They reflect the degree of how we are on such a tight-rope tottering before a fall. But which […]

We made the front page of Reddit today. This is bringing in more than 3000 visitors to the site per minute. Our systems did not crash, but the site did slow down. Our load balancer took a little time to spin into action. We will expand the site again. With the elections coming, our traffic […]

The Nikkei could not hold the late US rally and as the cash market opened the weakness returned from the opening, especially having just seen the weaker than expected Machinery Orders. Gaping lower, we did see a small bounce but not enough energy to look for a positive close. Eventually the index closed around 1% […]

As the BREXIT vote nears, capital is starting to jockey for position. The euro has made an outside reversal far to the downside on a daily basis, and it is now likely that the week of May 30th will see the highest weekly closing at 11362. At the time of this posting, the euro has […]

We have a socialist, a criminal, and an amateur who speaks before he thinks all running for the position of leader of the “free world” which is anything but free. Then we have a press so in bed with the politicians that they often seem to be crossbreeding. CNN, ABC News, and CBS News all […]

QUESTION: Hi Martin, Thank you for everything that you do.

The constructive comments provided by Fed Chair Janette Yellen last evening certainly helped Asian equities today. The Hang Seng performed best recording a 1.4% gain on the day whilst the main China Index managed just 0.1% gain which was a relief having spent the majority of the day in negative territory. The Nikkei saw a […]

Trump keeps shooting off his mouth in the stupidest way, but he should know that they will turn whatever he says against him (FYI: Hispanic is not a race, it is an ethnicity like French or German). Hillary and her cronies announced she won before the votes were placed just in case Bernie beats her in […]

  The debate shifted following the Jobs Report, and people now assume that the Fed will not raise rates. Hence, we have a bounce in gold and the euro. That makes no fundamental sense regarding gold since higher rates indicate inflation and lower rates warn of deflation. The real confusion has been that most only focus […]

COMMENT: MA, Someone said they sold the euro at 116 with a stop loss at 11705 and  sold gold at 1305 with a stop above last year’s high.  They earn a lot. But they not mention that your crude oil forecast is also correct! Feb 28, 2016 A daily closing above $33.60 on Monday will be a warning that […]
