How to Survive Financial Collapse Right Now

http://feedproxy.google.com

L: Doug, last time we spoke, you said quite a bit about debt, in the context of your expectation that the euro is on its way out. At the end of that conversation, you mentioned, of course, that the problem is not limited to Greece, nor the eurozone.

China’s Demand for Oil Surges 28%

http://feedproxy.google.com

The International Energy Agency (IEA) said today that China’s use of oil increased by 28 percent in January when compared to January 2009. The IEA said that it expects demand for oil to drop by 0.3 percent in developed nations, but emerging economies would more than make-up that shortfall.

Overall, the IEA predicted that total global demand will increase 1.8 percent this year to 86.6 million barrels a day. The IEA also noted that half of the world demand would come from Asia.

Stock Market Commentary: Bulls Pushing Their Luck

http://feedproxy.google.com

Bulls kept bears out of the game for yet another day as the rally powered higher. Small Caps built on their leadership (note relative strength to the Nasdaq) as the MACD trigger line climbed to new 6-month highs. While markets may not necessarily head down tomorrow bulls should be looking for a test of the 20-day MA before another challenge of highs is made.

Stock Market Commentary: New Highs for Tech and Smal Caps

http://feedproxy.google.com

Small Caps and Tech continued their good form. Technicals continue to support the move higher for Small Caps (Russell 2000) with new highs for the MACD and +DI line. The Russell 2000 would have to give up 25 points (or 4%) just to test breakout support at 650.


The prior underperformance of the semiconductors was undone with today's 2% gain.
