Sentiment on the dollar is in the tank – and we’ve got a pretty decent crisis on our hands in the Middle East. So you’d think with all the bad news already priced into the buck that this turmoil would be enough to send the dollar sprinting higher. Good guess…but thus far, an incorrect one! […]
Repeat after me: “They are still all the same markets!” There’s the US Dollar – and then there’s everything else. And the dollar, just days after QE2 was announced, turned up in sharp fashion. Some final nail in the coffin that was! It appears this is STILL the only chart we need to watch. (Source: […]

As usual, his technical analyst guest was fantastic. This week it’s Ronald Griess, founder of The […]
These days we are keeping a keen eye on markets that have been reliable leading indicators of the stock market. Since 2004 or so, markets have become quite interrelated, creating a lot of interesting relationships in markets that previously had little or no correlation. The correlation of course peaked during the 2007-2009 downturn, when EVERYTHING […]
Today, US stocks were not successful in issuing a counterpunch to yesterday’s bloodbath, when there were 11 stocks down for every 1 up. Stocks staged a meager rally after opening – only to swoon late and close at new lows for 2010. As you can see from the chart below, the S&P 500 peaked in […]
