Return Of The King Dollar
- paddlepip commented Apr 2, 2016
My guess is that rate rises will curb buybacks (or borrowing to fund buybacks), which are at the extreme end now. I agree with Hurst that selling will be soon upon us. Low volume on rallies, less participation overall and soon an earnings recession ...

In one sense it's maybe negative that they seem to feel that they need to react. Or the market wanted more? The ¥ appreciation after their -ve rate event wasn't very pretty. With their ETF purchases (now an extra 10%?) must admit I scratch my a head ...
Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow
- paddlepip replied Mar 7, 2016
Get the same feeling something is around the corner. Base / precious metals (and oil) have rallied pretty hard, but i get the distinct impression it'll be short lived. Today's CH data was awful, and I suspect (guess) the rally in gold is positioning ...

No other way around, it's bad news smokey. Part timers replacing full timers seems to be a global long term trend. Not healthy.

From the article: "The spike in new loans in January also could be due to Chinese companies making early repayments of their foreign-denominated loans and bonds to reduce their currency exposure after the yuan weakened, analysts say." The ol' paying ...

Well done to Germany in the Australian Open. Was a great match. First win since Steffi Graf! My bucks are on the bund having a little retrace, so inadvertently I hope the DAX rallies.

I've heard the argument that medicos do not add to the economy. I'm not sure that's a legitimate statement (although I'm not from the US).

The definition of recession does not include the term 'think'. What a ridiculous statement.

I guess there are only a few policies to help the aging population situation: 1. Tax incentives / relief to screw more (aka baby bonus). 2. Allow more immigration. Something tells me they'll go for # 1. Going to be very hard to reverse a fertility ...
Japan's Amari - not considering extra budget for economic stimulus
- paddlepip commented Nov 11, 2015
Every time a central bank utters the words 'moderate' or 'accommodative' a kitten is punched and/or dies. Considering an aging population is inherently deflationary, I suspect they'll keep this up unless someone boots kuroda out. Just imagine what ...
