Spanish Fun Run Exposes Euro’s Challenges

Posted: 07 Nov 2010 06:01 PM PST

Friday’s rumor of a run on a Spanish bank proved to be false, but may have shed light on Europe’s ongoing challenges.

Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) sponsored a fun run that drew a large crowd on Friday morning. The banks queues falsely spurred insolvency rumors that sent ripples throughout the financial world.

While the rumors were squashed hours later the damage was already done. The euro tumbled nearly 1% against the dollar as the scrutinized 2-year EU/US yield … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

EUR/USD Elliott Wave Count – Imminent Downswing

Posted: 07 Nov 2010 04:01 PM PST

The EUR/USD has been very strong in Q3 and part of Q4 2010. US QE2 has been pressuring the USD and European data has been benign. I would say the market was not that  focused on Europe's problems as much as the problems in the US. While there may be some further weakness in the greenback, the Euro may also be stepping into a period of weakness, and if the US Dollar Index bounces from the 75.00 level, we may have a major decline in the EUR/USD. The wave count for the pair suggests we … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates

The Markets Have Spoken

Posted: 05 Nov 2010 12:55 AM PDT

On Monday I wrote that this would be a momentous week for the financial prices and suggested that it may be time to sell the news. Now that the mid-term elections and the FOMC decision has come and gone, what’s the verdict?

In the spirit of elections, where conceding politicians use the words “the People have spoken”, I now write “the Markets have spoken.”

Fed chairman Ben Bernanke had an important Op-Ed in the Washington Post, in which he admitted that the Fed was targeting stock and other … [visit site to read more] or compare Best Credit Cards and Best CD Rates
