In Shocking Trade, New England Patriots Trade All-Pro Jamie Collins To Cleveland Browns For Third-Round Pick

Is Sherwin-Williams' Bid for Valspar in Trouble?

The $9.3 billion merger of Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW) and Valspar (NYSE: VAL) may be in trouble with antitrust regulators. A report by The New York Post said the Federal Trade Commission is looking for more concessions than the paint makers have offered, and considering the degree to which the consolidation would concentrate paint suppliers for big box retailer Lowe's (which has neither endorsed or opposed the deal), the pricing power the combined company would have might be too great for the regulator to accept.

Business In A Highly Specialized Economy

Our economy is highly specialized, with trade enabling us to consumer many products that we do not make.

What's the difference between a stop and a limit order?

Different types of orders allow you to be more specific about how you'd like your broker to fulfill your trades. When you place a stop or limit order, you are telling your broker that you don't want the market price (the current price at which a stock is trading), but that you want the stock price to move in a certain direction before your order is executed.With a stop order, your trade will be executed only when the security you want to buy or sell reaches a particular price (the stop price).

49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick Returns To The Field Today With A New Contract And High Stakes

When Chip Kelly was selected as the 49ers new coach last January, it seemed to be the the perfect coach-player marriage in the NFL. It paired the high-paced offense of Kelly with Colin Kaepernick’s unique physical tools and the strong arm that saw him get to a Super Bowl and 2 NFC Championship games in his first three seasons as a starting quarterback in the NFL. But the 2016 season has not gone according to plan for Kaepernick, after the 49ers' were unable to work out a trade for him last offseason and then declined to draft a quarterback in the NFL Draft last April in the early rounds.

What Happens To China If World Trade Falls?

Imagine a country that had once been very poor, yet after a period of turmoil had introduced a series of robust, liberal reforms under a far-sighted leadership. Then that country had experienced decades of spectacular, export-oriented growth, based in part on abundant cheap labor, and became rich. Of all the countries in the world that this might describe today, China would be at the top of that list, but in fact I am describing Argentina at the beginning of the 20th Century, and their story had further to go.

Brexit Won't Put Scottish Jobs At Risk - Trade Affects Which Jobs, Not How Many

We're being told today, by the Fraser of Allander Institute no less, that Brexit without trade deals could lead to the loss of 80,000 Scottish jobs. This is, I'm afraid, nonsense. Because trade does not affect the number of jobs in a country. Trade deals do not, therefore, affect the [...]

The Case For Gold Remains Weak

Stocks continue to chop around as we head into the big jobs report this week. But the dollar has been a mover today, as has gold. Let's take a look at the chart of gold. You can see the longer term downtrend in gold since it topped out in 2011. And we've had a corrective bounce this year, which was contained by this descending trendline. Today we broke the trend that describes this bullish technical correction (i.e. the trend continues lower). Invest like a Forbes billionaire — Click here to learn more A lot of people own gold. And it's a very emotional trade. Whenever I talk about negative scenarios for gold, the hate mail is sure to follow. We've talked quite a bit about the drivers of the gold trade. I want to revisit that today. Gold has been a core trade for a lot of people throughout the crisis period. When Lehman failed in 2008, it shook the world, global credit froze, banks were on the verge of collapse, the global economy was on the brink of implosion—people ran into gold. Gold was a fear–of–the–unknown–outcome trade. Then the global central banks responded with massive backstops, guarantees and unprecedented QE programs. The world stabilized, but people ran faster into gold. Gold became a hyperinflation–fear trade. Gold went on a tear from sub–$700 to above $1,900 following the onset of global QE (led by the Fed). Gold ran up as high as 182%. That was pricing in 41% annualized inflation at one point (as a dollar for dollar hedge). Of course, inflation didn't comply. Still, eight years after the Fed's first round of QE and massive global responses, we have just 13% cumulative inflation over the period. So the gold bugs overshot in a big way. We've looked at this next chart a few times over the past several months. It tells the story on why inflation hasn't met the expectations of the "run-away inflation" theorists.  

Beware the Stinking Smell of Long-term Bonds

Around the globe, the “long bond trade” has become a very crowded trade, which has led to a “condition where both long and short bond yields, particularly in the U.S., rise on even the slightest bit of positive economic news or hawkish Fed chatter,” per Strategas Research.  The back-and-forth swings from negative to slightly positive yields reminds me that bonds are a bit like “trading sardines,” a term that investor Seth Klarman coined years ago.  Investors have become dislocated from the fundamentals of bonds.  As Klarman distinguished, there are assets in which speculators employ the “greater fool theory,” which states that an asset price is based on irrational expectations rather than intrinsic value.  He referenced a previous market mania that once struck the coast of California when there was a shortage of sardines.  “Trading sardines” were not priced on intrinsic value (i.e. taste or quality) because you would never eat them, as they were simply priced by market speculators.  Long-term bonds have not been trading on fundamentals, which should be based on “providing fixed income, not fixed losses.”

Audi Avoids Trump's Wrath (So Far...) While Opening First Luxury Car Plant in Mexico

If you believe Donald Trump you might think Ford is a traitorous U.S. automaker, deserving of public shaming and worse, for shifting automotive production from the U.S. to Mexico. If you've got the power of rational thought and a modicum of business analytics you know Ford has to balance U.S. interests with common sense financial practices, which in this case means moving small-car production to Mexico. A combination of lower labor costs and exceptional free-trade agreements in Mexico means Ford can produce small cars at a reasonable profit there while re-allocating former U.S.-based small-car production to higher-profit trucks and SUVs. It's the kind of common-sense move any smart business leader (something Trump claims to be...) would make in a heartbeat.
