Hot Option Plays: Late Day Support

Cusick’s Corner 07-17-2012
The bid showed up in the After Hours, most notably in the currency and equity markets. Specifically, once the Euro Currency, FXE, was able to take over $122, then the equities, S&Ps, followed. This was a bigger move than anticipated, especially with little catalyst. I now am focused on earnings — this will offer a potentially better tell on the next move in the market. I mentioned last week that the risk appears to be to the upside and that risk is still in play … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Sen. Schumer Wants To Ban Foreign-Produced Olympic Gear; Will That Include U.S. Production?

From yesterday's Wall Street Journal:

“The horror, the horror. No, we aren't referring to those blue berets that U.S. athletes will wear at the opening Olympic ceremonies in London this month. We mean the horrified reaction from American politicians that those uniforms are made in China. Someone should tell these folks that if you want to have exports, you also need imports.

A half dozen Democratic Senators—led by Chuck Schumer, who else?—have introduced a bill to require that future … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

It’s A Good Thing

Posted: 17 Jul 2012 02:01 PM PDT

It’s a good thing we’re in a recovery and there’s no real prospect of another downturn (at least that’s what Wall Street “strategists” and politicians keep telling us). Otherwise, reports like these might be a cause for concern:
“Pawn Shops Go Upscale for Affluent Clients” (USA Today)
Maybe it’s the original artwork displayed around the office or the soft lighting, paneled walls, Persian rugs and leather furniture. The receptionist adds to the aura, too. So does the TV screen turned to a … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

Shale Wealth Spreads Halfway Around The World To Poor Indian Farmers Growing Beans For Fracking

Posted: 17 Jul 2012 12:50 PM PDT

Yesterday, I wrote a post about the new “sand millionaires” and “sand prosperity” in Wisconsin and Minnesota because of the “frac sand boom” going on there.
