Posted: 05 Jan 2010 03:27 AM PST The precious metals moved higher in the first trading session of 2010, which is traditionally known as a bullish sign for the whole following year. However, this single session does not determine the direction in which metals will head in the following days / weeks - there are other tools that need to be applied in order to find the most probable short-term outcome. In the following essay I will focus on the current situation on the gold market (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com) and … [visit site to read more]

| Trading 2010 - Current Strategy Posted: 05 Jan 2010 03:11 AM PST An update for those of you interested in my current positions for the start of 2010.

My main investment of the year was Minerva and this ended up 450% on the year and in the FTSE All-share top ten! At the moment all those predicting a double dip are off-beam, with QE the stock market will keep on going this … [visit site to read more]

Posted: 05 Jan 2010 03:01 AM PST Investors have been shunning the commercial real estate sectors like the plague as desolate commercial buildings fail to attract tenants.

Commercial real estate is at its nadir, remarks David Fessler for Investment U, or equivalent to how low bank stocks were back in March. That’s why it may be a good time to start looking into this … [visit site to read more]

| Forex Trading: US Dollar Poised For Acceleration To Downside Posted: 05 Jan 2010 01:59 AM PST Monday’s strong rally in global stock indices and break in the Dollar renewed talk of the resumption of the negative correlation between global equity markets and the U.S. Dollar. Aggressive traders appeared to be already placing bets today that the Fed would continue to leave interest rates low for a prolonged period of time. Monday’s action suggests that investors could be getting comfortable with taking on more risky assets once again.

| Correlation Between Canadian Dollar And Canada ETF (EWC) Posted: 05 Jan 2010 01:01 AM PST Figure 1 is a weekly chart comparing the Currency Shares Canadian Dollar (FXC) to the i-Shares MSCI Canada Index Fund (EWC). As you can see, these two instruments are highly correlated across multiple time frames. FXC is one of the few currencies that has held up against the Dollar over the past 4 weeks, and by my estimation, price has consolidated as opposed to breakdown like the Australian Dollar or the Japanese Yen.
