If you’re one of the growing number of investors looking to get in on the action, it’s worth reviewing the ins and outs of commodity ETF investing so you don’t get burned.

| Posted: 26 Jan 2010 05:11 AM PST ( click to enlarge ) (RMBS) consolidated on Monday, after its big move on Friday. The way the stock consolidated on Monday, is bullish, as it traded in a tight range. I’m watching the stock again today, as resistance stays at $26. There is a chance the stock will consolidate again this week, but watch it closely in case it makes an early move. MACD has generated a buy signal and is currently above the 0 line. I think the stock will be heading higher. Technically Bullish. ( click to … [visit site to read more]

| Thoughts On D.C., China And Investing Posted: 26 Jan 2010 05:01 AM PST Sometimes it is useful to get away from routine. Since I am at a stage in life where I can kiss any routine goodbye, I know it is easier for me than others. Still, I do recall relishing outlets during my years of steady work endeavors, perhaps more so than today. I returned from a useful and exhilarating trip to Washington, D.C. Five days of observation, touring, culture and culinary excess overcame the cold weather and sometimes biting rain. Perhaps my most interesting conversation … [visit site to read more]

| Forex Trading: GBPUSD Consolidating At The Lows As NY Enters The Fray Posted: 26 Jan 2010 04:44 AM PST The GBPUSD fell sharply overnight - pushed lower after failing to break through the 200 hour MA at the 1.6266 and then on the fall through the 100 hour moving average as GDP came out much weaker than expectations. The fall has taken the price to a low so far of 1.6111. The low from yesterday came in at 1.6088 and the low from Friday came in at 1.6076. These levels should find some profit taking buyers, however, from a longer term perspective the picture is not that … [visit site to read more]

| UK GDP For Q4 2009 At 0.1% - Truly Awful Posted: 26 Jan 2010 04:01 AM PST Wow, that is a poor number. So much for Labour going to call an election on the back of the ‘return’ to growth. And crocodile tears for the BBC having prepared for weeks on the Government’s behalf a ‘we are out of recesion day special.’ Worse to is to remember the comparison; with oct to Dec 2008 - the total financial meltdown and crisis. So we have as the UK only achieved a 0.1% better result than that. truly awful. Even worse the cold spell of january will have knocked … [visit site to read more]

| Posted: 26 Jan 2010 02:07 AM PST In December, the IFO index rose for the ninth consecutive month to 94.7, from 93.9 in November. We expect the IFO’s upward trend to continue into January, albeit at a slower pace: our estimate is for an increase to 95.1 - the highest since July '08. The current situation index should rise from 90.5 to 91.4, while the expectations index should remain unchanged at 99.1, as economic recovery is likely to weaken in the months ahead. Should our estimate prove correct, the IFO should remain … [visit site to read more]

| Posted: 26 Jan 2010 12:44 AM PST Recently one of the more frequent commentators on this site quoted George Soros at The Big Picture blog (thanks Keith): Economic history is a never-ending series of episodes based on falsehoods and lies, not truths. It represents the path to big money. The object is to recognize the trend whose premise is false, ride that trend, and step off before it is discredited. In other words, the path to profit is to spot a trend early, jump on it and then jump off before it totally blows up. This … [visit site to read more]

| Too Interconnected To Fail = Too Big To Fail: What Is In A Leverage Ratio? Posted: 26 Jan 2010 12:01 AM PST Did allowing financial institutions to become “too big” play a role in the financial crisis? This column argues that being “too interconnected” is also a factor, and that US accounting standards should recognise gross derivatives exposure on the balance sheet to make this interconnectedness, and the resulting exposure, clear. By now there is general agreement that a financial institution can not only be “too big”, but also “too interconnected” to fail. But how do we measure what it is to … [visit site to read more]

| The US Federal Reserve Has Failed Miserably Posted: 25 Jan 2010 11:01 PM PST How are we to judge the Federal Reserve? The Fed by its very nature has been an opaque institution. What truly goes on behind the closed doors of the Fed? What are the relationships amongst the Fed Chair and Fed governors? How about the relationships between Fed representatives and political operatives? While volumes have been written about the history of the Fed, to the American public the Federal Reserve remains a mystery. How can we lift the veil on this mysterious institution? Let’s … [visit site to read more]

| Forex Trading: Gbp/Jpy Retracing Move Up From 144.58, Feels Effects Of BoJ Posted: 25 Jan 2010 10:32 PM PST Since making a new high of 147.28 earlier in this session Gbp/Jpy has been on a steady decline due in part to commentary from the Bank of Japan. The BoJ said it remains committed to fighting deflation as gains in the yen risk stunting the country's economic recovery. That being said "it's highly probable the central bank will come under pressure to ease policy further as the economy loses steam," said Teizo Taya, a former central bank board member.

| Posted: 25 Jan 2010 08:45 PM PST The heyday of the Bush-Obama bailout frenzy is coming to an end. The bailout’s base of public support, tenuous from the outset, is collapsing. Its chief architects - Treasury Secretary Geithner and Fed Chairman Bernanke - are politically dead or dying; its loyal opposition - Obama adviser Paul Volcker and FDIC Chairman Bair - is gaining rapidly in influence. Suddenly and with growing momentum, America is shifting into a brand new phase of the crisis … The Rude Awakening of … [visit site to read more]
