Cement Creates Strong Foundations For Growth


You think the USA or Europe construction industries have strong enough foundations to put your money on right now? I don't after another increase in USA unemployment last Friday and more important the future of potential increases of jobs and GDP. This week I’ve got a short sell on CRH Plc. It’s a big ADR based in Ireland involved in cement and construction products that sells half of its products in the USA. The stock has already been in a downtrend, and I’m betting it will continue further down for ...

3rd Wave Profit Rockets Sounds Good, But How Do You Trade Them?


This article is from Tue, 22 Dec 2009. The profit power of the 3rd wave is the longest and most powerful - take advantage!

There’s one wave in the Elliott wave sequence that you as a stock or forex trader don't want to miss: the third wave. Like the Energizer Bunny, third waves "just keep going and going." Riding them can be very rewarding, but pity you if you happen to get caught on the wrong side of one without an exit strategy.

Stress test results for the biggest European banks were recently released, while the largest U.S. banks took their first stress tests in May 2009. But most people don't really care how much stress their banks are under; they are more worried about their own stress levels. One thing that adds to personal stress is worrying about whether their deposits are in a safe place. Bob Prechter has encouraged people to find the safest banks for their money ...

How long have you been with your current forex broker? How many times have you changed forex brokers? What's your general feeling about forex brokers?


Forex Brokers Complaints and Solutions

Lets face it, every forex trader I believe has had a complaint or complaints of some kind with their forex broker. I suggest that many complaints are valid, and some not.

China Southern Airlines Sale Promo


Flying high with China Southern. Long term I'm bullish on this company. Short term I'm short selling it, and hopefully buy in at lower prices.

The Market This Week

If there is a continued uptrend past 1154, possibly the uptrend can continue, but I will be watching ...
