Markets In Everything: $300 Hearing Aids

Posted: 03 Apr 2012 03:30 PM PDT

Tech Crunch — “Of the 27 million Americans who qualify for a hearing aid, 75 percent choose not to purchase one — only one in seven Americans over 50 years old who need a hearing aid actually wear one. The problem is a sizable one, so former Stanford University classmates Sam Tanzer and Ross Porter decided to do something about it. In early 2011, they founded a startup called Embrace Hearing to apply some entrepreneurial pressure to the situation.

This Time Around

The price of lumber has long kept pace with swings in economic activity — except this time.

Hot Option Plays: Poker Face

Cusick’s Corner 04-03-2012
The Hawks were flying this After Hours, the FOMC minutes read as if they believe less stimulus will be potentially needed. Bonds pulled back, Dollar bounced, Gold lost it luster and Equities started to bounce right into the close. This is turning out to be a bad poker game, where there seems to be an easing bluff in play by the Fed but you can never really say that for certain. Equities are the game right now and the ability of the S&Ps to hold and bounce on this … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Hot Option Plays: Will Silver Follow Semis?

Posted: 03 Apr 2012 12:23 PM PDT

Cusick’s Corner
The SPX started off negative this morning but it is choppier and range-bound this session, focus is around the 1410 level on the S&Ps. I do not like the action in the Financials, XLF, or Industrials, XLI, if these sectors exhibit more weakness, the longs might get more of a potential squeeze into the After Hours. I have been watching the Silver, SLV, trade a little closer as I saw the Semis, SMH, come under pressure.

Ambivalence And Confusion At The Fed May Add Fuel To The Coming Precious Metals Rally

Posted: 03 Apr 2012 11:32 AM PDT

Industrial metals outperformed precious metals in the first quarter and this is characteristic after accommodative moves from the Central Banks, which has caused investors to look for commodities essential for growing economic demand. It may be indeed possible that QE1, QE2, Operation Twist and the $1 trillion LTRO in Europe is causing a flight out of risk off assets such as treasuries and gold into risk on stocks especially banks, homebuilders and industrial commodities.
