Last night, I went to the Hilton in Park Lane, London, to listen to an interview conducted by Jon (yes, that’s the way it is spelt – very liberal, trendy) Snow and Elon Musk. Elon Musk, as readers know, is the polymath founder of PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX, and in his spare time came up…
Market Direction: Above 4,100 Leads Back to 4,500 on Nasdaq 100 Imperial Tobacco (IMT): Price Channel Target as High as 4,000p Although it may be the case that on a fundamental basis shares of Imperial Tobacco may appear to be a little too 20th century for some, the trend on the daily chart does look…
When I woke up today I was shocked by the news that the BOJ had cut its benchmark rate to -0.1% overnight. At a time when the FED is fighting to normalise its policy and the ECB is entertaining investors to delay further QE, the BOJ decision comes as a major blow and a huge…

But one can’t have everything. ***** Amazon (AMZN) seems to me to have been unnaturally deified. Yesterday evening, after hours, the price got zonked.…

The company that invented this platform has just raised another round of seed funding and its technology is now being tested more widely. Swen Lorenz, editor…
Market Direction: Front Month WTI Crude – Above $30 Targets $36 Anglo American (AAL): Wedge Breakout Implies Return to 314p The sad story of the mining sector in recent months and years is that it really has not been an area for widows or orphans to participate in. The trick here was clearly to work…
If anyone remembers the Market Sector Cycle that goes through the market ‘seasons’ – early expansion, late expansion, early contraction to late contraction and so on – then why don’t we see much of it these days? Well, probably because like all ‘economic’ theories, once they’re discovered they don’t work anymore – but also because…
