Mayday
It's clear from their actions in the past month or so that the US Federal Reserve also believes investors can't handle uncertainty.
Infinity And Beyond!
The past couple of months have thrown everyone's assumptions out the window, mine included.
Panic Responsibly
The average American drives a big vehicle and will love the drop in gas prices they're about to see. But the US is a net exporter now, so the cumulative impact on the economy won't be as rosy.
Zombie Apocalypse
I'm not expecting a zombie apocalypse, but it is been mentioned (tongue in cheek) as the most likely reason for Wall St to have a real correction.
Black Cygnet
Confirmed cases of Coronavirus, in a couple of weeks, already exceed the ultimate total for SARS and, at the current rate of 2000/day, will pass the ultimate total for Swine Flu by mid-February.
Gold’s Big Picture
Wall St, and most other bourses, are loving these money flows. The Santa Claus rally discussed in the last issue continued to strengthen all the way to and through year-end.
Santa Kicks Ass
As we head toward year-end markets, in general, are enjoying a better than usual "Santa Claus rally" as equity funds buy winners to look smart in year-end reporting and retail chases momentum stocks.
Eye Of The Beholder
This latest rally in stocks has been heavily influenced by retail investors. So far, they are looking like the smart ones. I hope it continues for their sake.
Jay’s Got Your Back
In theory, the FOMC could surprise everyone by not cutting but the chances of that happening are close to zero.
Conflicting Signals
The Fed gave traders part of what they wanted, a 25-basis point cut everyone knew was coming and that the market priced in. It didn't give them promises of much more though.
Down The Rabbit Hole
Happy September! Traditionally one of the worst months of the year for large cap equity traders and one of the best ones for resource investors.
The Adjustment Bureau
Sometimes, in this "bad news is good news" market we're living in, it seems like US Federal Reserve meetings end up as poster children for "the law of unintended consequences". The July 31st meeting was a great example.
It’s On (For Gold, At Least)
Ever since US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reversed the Fed's hawkish stance in December, markets, especially the bond market, have been pricing in an increasing number of rate cuts through the following 12 months.
Loose Cannon
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the market.
Flotation Device
Spring is in the air on Wall St, and traders' thoughts have turned to unicorns, earnings beating (duh) "expectations" and, of course, romantic overtures from an accommodating US Federal Reserve.
Cursed?
The infamous "PDAC curse". It's the bane of resource investors everywhere, striking fear into their hearts as the ides of March approach.
