Which Way The USD?

We are at an interesting juncture with the USD. Here’s the Trade Triangle chart:

This a weekly chart of the DX going back to the last major high in March. I’ve drawn a trendline connecting the three major highs. The red line across the bottom of the chart is at 79.919. That [...]

Systemic Risk and the VIX

As many of you know INO is a huge Norman Hallett fan. He’s been a featured guest blogger at the Trader’s Blog many times (see previous posts) and today he was asked to give us an EXCLUSIVE preview to his new book, “Taming Risk - A trader’s guide”.  His post below covers Systemic Risk and [...]

Using Volume As A Major Indicator

I just watched a very good video about trading using volume as a major indicator. The concept is new to me and will be incorporated in my analysis of charts in the future. I recommend that you take a look.
In Reverse Your Thinking and You’ll See Markets More Clearly, Geoff Bysshe, in this [...]

A JPM Sell?

On July 18,  I posted that JPM Gives Me The Willies!  JP MORGAN CHASE & CO (JPM) was trading at $37 and just under its Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level.  I thought the stock should be avoided.  Around August 1st it broke through the 61.8% and has since traded to $43.  Once again I think the [...]

NASDAQ Says Stand Aside!

The Internet Is Just A Mall Without A Parking Lot

Reprinted from The Landfair Retail Focus:

In June I posted that we must Embrace The Internet! I said, “I can tell you flat out, the internet is one of the most disruptive inventions that’s come along.  Yes, there will be many who don’t like the change it’s bringing us.  It’s eliminating jobs, eliminating or sharply harming [...]
