To be forewarned is to be forearmed. I’m writing today after spending the last three days in Boca Raton, Florida, attending The Next Few Years: A Casey Research Summit. If you’re not already familiar, the purpose of this summit was to bring together many of the world’s top economic and investing minds to share with us where they...

By: Marc Sperling of T3Live F5 Networks, Inc. (FFIV) had earnings back on April 20th and reported strong numbers with second quarter revenue up 34.7% year-over-year. This report gapped the stock up nicely and has since grinded lower to fill that upside earnings gap. The $100 level looks like an actionable support level and I will be a buyer with...

We recently told you about a new, super accurate trading system that had a 100% accuracy rate last year in 2010 and a 98% accuracy rate in the 2 years before that. Overall, it has produced 317 winners and just 4 losers over the past 4 years-trading with REAL money. These trades were NOT hypothetical, back-tested, computer-generated trades. Instead,...

On the morning of May 2, the financial headlines were abuzz with the news of Osama Bin Laden’s death and its positive impact on the stock market: “Stock Market Celebrates Killing of Bin Laden” (The Wall Street Journal) But despite a positive open, stocks closed lower on May...

by Tyler Durden And so the first warning shot for this Friday’s NFP comes, which we believe will be substantially below consensus, in the form of the ADP report, which comes at 179K, down from a revised 207K, and well below expectations of 198K. And while the number is very disappointing, both construction and financial activities posted a...

Gold Scents After what should be a brief pause this week commodity markets will move into the greatest rally of the last decade. As usual I will stay focused on the precious metal markets. They have been the leaders during this entire move out of the `08 bottom and they will see the largest parabolic move of all commodities during the final...

1) A Day With Harry S. Dent. I listen to Harry S. Dent, not because he is an iconoclast, one of the few original thinkers out there, and a complete wild man, although these are all admirable qualities to be found in a global strategist. I listen to him because he has been right. Go no further than the titles of his books. They include The Great...

by Tyler Durden Earlier we reported that Sprott had sold $35 million worth of PSLV, which caused many to panic that the precious metals guru had indicated the market top in the market. Well, as it turns out and as he just told the Globe and Mail “We haven’t lost our enthusiasm for silver.” Quite the opposite… So why the sales? “Every...

For the past decade, a Russian-born former systems engineer at Fidelity Investments has been developing mechanical trading systems to trade the stock, commodities and Forex markets. He’s been developing and testing them with real money. His name is Mikhail Borisov. He’s had great success with a number of systems. In fact, about 80% of his systems...

Tim Iacono Jake over at EconomPicData has come up with a rather stunning chart in this item from the other day following the release of the latest personal income/spending data from the Commerce Department. It seems that if you subtract government transfer payments from income, then the savings rate has been negative for quite some time now. Recall...

- Rise Against “Endgame” - The single biggest news event this week besides the Royal Wedding (who actually cares) was Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s televised press conference. The Federal Reserve is attempting to appear more transparent after coming under pressure from the United States Congress because of their obscure and potentially...

David Banister- www.MarketTrendForecast.com Last August I told my subscribers to prepare for a monster rally in Silver, which at the time of my forecast was $18.73 per ounce. I drew up a chart and predicted a huge rally to $29 an ounce, and we ended up at $31 or so just a few months later. This was entirely a crowd behavioral move that I foresaw in...

Danny Schechter, at Al Jazeera, interviews Phil about excessive speculation in the oil markets. Speculators and free market believers may argue that they are not to blame, they are simply trying to make money by following the trends and not holding onto cash, as the Fed is busily debasing the U.S. Dollar. There is some merit in that argument,...
