I joined Peggy Tuck and Chase Robertson today on Straight Talk Money. The first topic of discussion? What’s going on in the bond market? http://charlessizemore.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Part1.mp3 In the next segment, we talk about financial stocks… and about a little trick John Templeton used to buy when everyone else was selling. http://charlessizemore.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Part2.mp3 And in the last segment, we chat about the importance of stop losses… and keeping you stop loss orders private. http://charlessizemore.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Part3.mp3...
The gains the US dollar scored last month have been largely unwound against the major currencies. The dollar’s losses against the yen are a bit greater, and it returned to levels not seen late last November. The down draft in the dollar appears part of a larger development in the capital markets that has also seen the US 10-year yield slide 25 bp in less than two weeks. The two-year yield is off 17 bp. The yield of 1.25% is 25 bp on top of the upper end of the Fed funds target range. A few forces are at work. First, is the reaction to the less aggressive stance at recent FOMC meeting. Second, the Dutch election outcome and poll still ...

Yesterday’s selling didn’t follow through with additional losses, instead, indices dug in at lows and managed to recover some of yesterday’s selloff. The best recovery came from the Semiconductor Index. It gained over 1% as it bounced off its 20-day MA. However, it wasn’t enough to stop a ‘sell’ trigger in the MACD and CCI. Next is the Nasdaq 100.

Unfortunately, it has a MACD trigger ‘sell’ from early March and a new ‘sell’ trigger between the -DI and +DI, but what was particularly noticeable was the bullish uptick in rel...

As markets could be setting an intermediate top, investors are on the lookout of a tactical play to short sell stocks, for a short period of time. The stocks with a weaker stock chart are potential short selling candidates. We already wrote that, by far, the weakest stock market sector was retail, and we concluded that the retail to S&P 500 ratio revealed that the retail stock market sector will be an enticing short once markets weaken. This article features 3 stocks which investors are already selling, so they could be setting up for juicy short selling candidates. One of the weakest charts we observe is the one from Petroleo Brasilei...
