He writes that the U.S. has $3.5 Trillion of debt rolling over including the need for 1.5 Trillion for the new deficit. He asks a good question: Where’s that money going to come from?

| Worried About The January Barometer? Don’t Fear, The Saints Won The Super Bowl! « Jacob Wolinsky » Posted: 08 Feb 2010 03:01 AM PST Should you be worried about your stock portfolio this year?

| ETF Update: Searching For Oil « Jeffrey Miller » Posted: 08 Feb 2010 02:01 AM PST Are there any bright spots in this market? In normal times investors can use sector investing to find opportunities despite overall market weakness. The last two years have provided fewer such opportunities. The correlation among sectors has been very high in both directions. Most recently, sector strength has been linked to dollar weakness. An energy play seems counter-intuitive, but our model rates it as the top choice this week. Background Each week we provide a list … [visit site to read more]

| Bulls Are Losing Control « Cam Hui » Posted: 08 Feb 2010 12:37 AM PST It is always useful to look at sector relative changes once in a while, just to spot any phase changes or shifts in leadership. When I first got into the investment business, a grizzled veteran taught me the basic principles of sector rotation. Early in the cycle, it’s the interest sensitives that lead the way. Sector leadership rotates through the equity market spectrum until you get to the asset plays - the inflation hedge stocks at the very end of the cycle. Financials are rolling … [visit site to read more]

| Thailand And Ruble Then, Greece And Euro Now « Joseph Meth » Posted: 08 Feb 2010 12:01 AM PST Everyone seems to be looking at historical precedents for gauging the severity of this correction. When the Great Depression was on everyone’s mind last spring, many used the1933-35 recovery to benchmark this Financial Crises Crash recovery (see “Two Market Consolidation Models” of Sept 30, 2009). As we crossed the neckline of the inverted head-and-shoulder bottom, I looked to the 2004 nine-month correction from the dot-com Bubble Crash as the model of what this correction might look like. … [visit site to read more]

| A Win-Win Situation For The US Dollar « Bryan Rich » Posted: 07 Feb 2010 11:01 PM PST The debt problems in Dubai threw a wrench in the happy-go-lucky risk trade of last year. And since then, the perception of the state of the global economy has been unraveling. All of the sudden, the world isn’t as safe a place as was thought just months ago: Global stock markets are falling, commodity markets have cracked, and foreign currencies are back in decline. All of this has been good for the U.S. dollar. In fact, the dollar is operating in a win-win environment these days. … [visit site to read more]

| What You Should Know About Commodity ETFs « Tom Lydon » Posted: 07 Feb 2010 10:01 PM PST Commodity exchange traded funds (ETFs) have been enjoying a good run in the past year. But some ETFs haven’t been performing as well as their underlying commodities. For most precious metals ETFs, the ETF will likely hold the physical commodity, but in many cases, a commodity ETF just holds future contracts or notes redeemable by a bank, remarks Kurt Brouwer for MarketWatch. By investing in futures contracts and other so-called derivatives, commodity ETFs may diverge from the actual … [visit site to read more]

| The Week Ahead: One Person’s Risk Is Another’s Opportunity « Jeffrey Miller » Posted: 07 Feb 2010 08:01 PM PST A recurring theme at “A Dash” is the question of time frames. Let me posit three different investors: The Trader has a three-week time horizon. He wants action and actively tries to time the market. This is the one thing I can never understand.
