It May Take a Dragon to Breathe Fire Into Markets

Frank Holmes — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 13:59:47 +0000

At the Cambridge House’s Vancouver Resource Investment Conference this week, I am part of a special debate on whether China will boom or bust with bestselling author Gordon G. Chang. The title of Chang’s book, The Coming Collapse of China, states his position quite clearly and I look forward to the intellectual challenge of convincing [...]

Markets Seen and Unseen

When we hear people talk about the “tale of two economies,” we expect to find them referring to the Wall Street vs. Main Street match up. An important one, to be sure. Or maybe they’re comparing the economies of two different countries or regions; one healthy, the other moribund.

Crude Oil: The Best Bet for 2012

Steve Belmont — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 21:12:41 +0000

Crude oil may not only be the best commodity play for 2012, it could prove to be the best commodity play of the next three to four years, soundly beating both gold and silver. I’m not talking about oil producers, refiners or drillers…or any individual stock — but the real thing: crude oil itself. Don’t [...]

Euro Rallies on Positive IFO Index and a Successful Spanish Debt Auction

Chris Gaffney — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 17:10:22 +0000

The euro (EUR) sure enjoyed a better night rebounding from close to its annual low versus the US dollar. A surprisingly upbeat IFO business climate index combined with a pledge of more funds for the bailout and a positive Spanish auction to send the common currency higher. The IFO Institute’s index, based on a survey [...]

$100 – The New Floor for Crude Oil

Chris Mayer — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:43:18 +0000

In the midst of the news about the EU crisis, it’s worth pointing out that oil prices have quietly crept back over $100 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate is $102 as I write. Brent crude, which many argue is the more important figure, is $111. This is remarkable given how weak the global economic recovery [...]

SNB Threatens to Weaken Franc Again

Chuck Butler — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 17:38:08 +0000

Grunting and pointing… That’s about what the trading in currencies has been since yesterday morning… A tight trading range has formed around the euro (EUR), and that keeps everyone else corralled too. The euro tried a couple of times yesterday to mount a rally, but each time was knocked back down. The markets are in [...]

The Ghost of Smoot-Hawley?

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 16:44:29 +0000

These past 9 years, with debt plaguing the performance of the dollar, have been quite interesting; watching the debt explode to the upside, and the dollar implode to the downside… But now, the Eurozone has taken on their own debt problems, and so it is that investors look for a safe haven… The US has [...]
