In Wien sollen Strategien zur Geldpolitik und stabilen Ölpreisen gefunden werden

Die Verbraucherpreise fallen um 0,1 Prozent. Weniger als im April – aber sie sinken weiter. Was bedeutet das für die Zinssitzung der EZB am Donnerstag in Wien?

Thinking Strategically

By all accounts, the 2016 European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, Switzerland was a strong show. Manufacturers introduced new platforms, suppliers showcased more capable hardware, service providers announced plans to expand product offerings, and hope was palpable that market conditions will improve in the near term. And, of course, the atmosphere was energetic, as it is at just about every international trade show. (When’s the last time you attended a downbeat EBACE, NBAA, Paris Air Show, or similar aviation/aerospace event?)

Leicester City (known as the Foxes) winning the English Premier League football (or soccer) title this year bordered on the miraculous.

The Week Ahead : Investors - Fight These Fears

As investors and traders head into the long Memorial Day weekend the S&P 500 is once again close to the April highs and the widely watched 2100 area. This is despite the raft of negative headlines that filled my inbox this week, including: The Market Is In For A Shock, A Market Under Pressure, Prepare For A Recession and The Recent Rally May Be A Head Fake. It appears that many hedge funds and banks are short the stock market as they are looking for another rally failure. In last week's column "Avoiding The Big Money Blues" I pointed out the hazards of following the hedge funds or well known money managers. Often when a majority of these big traders are on one side of a trade the market goes in the opposite direction. Last week's action in gold was a good example. There were early signs from the market internals last week that the recent trading was not going to lead to a sharper correction and a new rally phase was more likely. The evidence was strong enough for me to recommend that Viper ETF traders buy several ETFs that ended sharply higher. This end of the correction was confirmed last week ( Uncovering Best Of Breed Stocks) as the Nasdaq 100 A/D line "moved above its WMA and the May 10th high". As stocks continued higher through the week the technical studies have gotten even stronger. (See Market Wrap section) Surprisingly, despite the strong stock market only 17.8% of individual investors are bullish according to AAII who pointed out "This is the lowest level of optimism recorded by our survey since April 14, 2005". The very high neutral reading also goes back over 16 years. So what fears are keeping investors from buying stocks?

What's the Point of a CSCO?

Unlike finance or sales, supply chain is a business discipline that’s still very much in its infancy. The conditions giving rise to the Chief Supply Chain Officer role have only been around for about 25 years. Outsourced manufacturing, free trade with China and other emerging economies, and most importantly, connected information systems from ERP to cloud, all make the CSCO a hot seat for the next generation of corporate executives.

Old State of Panic Moves to Glee: Getting Short or Hedging Gains in SPY, E-minis and Crude Oil

The recent rallies in Crude Oil and Stocks have completely cleared out the short-term memories of many traders. While an article of mine from just two days ago indicated that those with cash on the sidelines might put some of it to work, the rally of the last two days may provide an opportunity for pause. Like all commodities, including Crude Oil, the Stock Market, as represented by the E-mini S&P has a tendency to trade with hyperbole and cause the casual observer to believe that there is no rhyme or reason to its movement. When too much money is following a trend, there seems to be a reversion to the mean. While this is a pretty general comment, make note that trends can be very difficult to find and many traders end up getting long or short at the end of the move.

Big Pharma In The China Trade: Market Or Mirage?

A recent ChinaFile report makes pretty bleak reading for 'Big Pharma.' Long regarded as the next great hope for market expansion, the mirage of China keeps receding into the middle distance. Always there, always out of reach. This time the story centres on China forcing reductions in the price of key drugs, but previous disputes have involved the issuing of compulsory licences to produce generic versions of frontline treatments. Each time, the lure of market access for Western majors proves too compelling to turn back.

Stocks Like Apple, Target and Walmart Take Traders For A Ride; Just One Reason To Trade An Index

When investing for retirement, or for trading short term equity price movement, a diverse group of equity holdings is always recommended. As seen by recent trading activity, an index makes a lot of sense. Imagine if you had your retirement funds invested in Apple, Google (Alphabet A) and Target; you wouldn’t be too happy with your performance. If however, you had chosen Amazon, Walmart and Facebook, you would be a lot more pleased. Unfortunately, people with stock picking skill are rare and investors are much better off investing in funds like SPY (SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF) or Futures Contracts like the E-mini S&P 500.

Easiest New Way in 2016 To Seek Returns From Reclusive Chinese Markets

China’s first scheme to connect its largely off-limits stock market to a freely traded one offshore formed a beacon of optimism on an otherwise turbulent investment scene. The 19-month-old Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect lets just about anyone with money trade hundreds of shares from mainland China without special permits. They trade through the exchange in Hong Kong, an open market unlike Shanghai where the shares originate. The daily cap for those shares stands at about $2 billion. Another scheme like it is coming this year, as early as July per some news reports.

How The Dodgers Are Uniquely Poised To Trade For Mike Trout

The Dodgers can sweeten the pot, certainly, and are uniquely in position to do so. But it's not what you're thinking, however. This isn't about trading Seager, Pederson, Urias and a bunch of Great Lakes Loons for one Mike Trout -- and it hasn't been suggested elsewhere.

Office Depot (NASDAQ: ODP) spent more than a year in limbo as it waited for federal regulators to approve its deal to be acquired by rival Staples (NASDAQ: SPLS).

London Craft Week Offers A New Perspective on London's Luxury Craft Trade

As London Craft Week opened for its second year running on May 5, the wide range of exhibitors shed new light on the intersection between craft and luxury in the United Kingdom. Mid-century, the hundreds of British brands who crafted all their goods in the UK were enough to bring tourists from across the world to the UK. During the 1980s, brands began to outsource the manufacture of their products across the globe, making UK-made goods a rarity.
