Investing and Trading News, with a Contrarian, Sarcastic Twist!
Technical extraordinaire Carl Swenlin puts on his fundamental hat here, as he gauges the current valuation of the S&P 500 at large.

Technical guru Carl Swenlin has been watching the AAII numbers, and is concerned at the high bull to bear ratio we’re seeing today. Sentiment Becoming Too […]

Last week, Barron’s published their annual roundtable for 2012 – again featuring two of our very favorites in Marc Faber and Felix Zulauf.
