It’s now been a year since the dark days of early March 2009, when, although no one knew it at the time, the stock market hit rock bottom. From there, all of the indexes went on a tear through the rest of the year, moving almost uninterruptedly higher before easing slightly in the first two months of 2010. At this writing (March 5), the Dow is still up 60%, the S&P 500 68%, and the NASDAQ 83%.
Good morning, Chuck headed out the door with a huge smile on his face yesterday as he heads down to spring training. With Chuck down in Florida, he handed the keyboard over to me for the rest of March. I am excited to be able to bring you the Pfennig over the next few weeks, and appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts on the currency markets with all the loyal readers. For those of you who are new to the Pfennig, I have been told my style is a bit more 'dry' than Chuck's (I can't even come close to his encyclopedic knowledge of lyrics); and I typically get the Pfennig sent out a bit later than Chuck. But I will try my best to keep everyone informed and get this out in a timely manner. Lets get started.
I wouldn't read a thing into Thursday's trading activity in the gold market anywhere on planet earth yesterday. The high of the day, if you wish to dignify it with that name, occurred shortly before 10:00 a.m. in Hong Kong yesterday morning. The price was around $1,112 spot. There were some reasonably wild gyrations in the gold price starting at 8:30 a.m. in New York... but, if you check the dollar chart further down, you'll see that this action was almost entirely dollar related. Gold's low for Thursday [$1,099.50 spot] was at the London p.m. gold fix which occurred around 10:00 a.m. Eastern time [3:00 p.m. in London]. Then, from the London p.m. fix onward, gold gained back about $10 as the dollar drifted gently lower.
View all articlesIf you are a U.S. investor diversifying your portfolio internationally is both prudent and advisable. This is especially so, when you consider that most of the junior exploration companies operating in the high-potential resource sector trade on Canadian exchanges. While trading in stocks outside of the U.S. is not overly complex, there is a lot of iceberg under the surface that you need to be aware of.
I’ve been asked "what’s the secret of finding winning mining stocks?" more times than I can even begin to count. And for over 20 years, my answer has remained pretty much the same: the Eight Ps. ("Pretty much" because it used to be seven Ps.)
The Fourth Turning is an amazingly prescient book Neil Howe wrote with the late William Strauss in 1997. The work, which describes generational archetypes and the cyclical patterns created by these archetypes, has been an eye-opener to anyone able to entertain the notion that history may repeat itself. At the time the book was published, the Boston Globe stated, “If Howe and Strauss are right, they will take their place among the great American prophets.” Read this visionary interview published in The Casey Report, and see for yourself.
