Fun with Covers
So Stock futures gap higher. So finally this week the "press" hints that maybe, just maybe the Markets are in trouble and maybe just maybe U shud worry about your portfolio
Gee the Dow, the SnP, the Naz are Down 10 to 14+% since the start of the year. Ya think it's time to warn the sheeple>
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The markets are responding largely to global factors, including deflated oil prices and fears about weak global growth, particularly in China. But those factors are now forging a new and unsettled stage in America’s seven-year recovery: one in which it’s harder for ordinary workers and 401k holders to build wealth.
“Since this whole dive has started, I’ve been afraid to even look at my 401k,” said Jeff Sawyer, 59, who works for an apparel company in Whitefield, N.H. and is considering delaying retirement.
Carol Helton, 61, has watched her retirement account shrink by more than $100,000 over the past several months, the equivalent of about two years’ worth of the income she and her husband hope to have in retirement. “That’s two and a half more years at least that I have to work,” says Helton, who has abandoned her goal of retiring at 63, realizing she may have to wait closer to 70.
Financial advisers and investment firms around the country say they have been fielding more calls than usual from savers who are wondering if the market slide will force them to rework their retirement plans.
“People want to know the market outlook. They’re asking: ‘should I make a change or shouldn’t I?,'” said Jeanne Thompson, a vice president at Fidelity Investments.
Liz Ann Sonders, the chief investment strategist for Charles Schwab, recommends that investors stick to their long-term plans and not hold more money in stocks than necessary.
“The question everyone wants to know is how much worse will this get,” she said. “The short answer is we don’t know.”
As stocks fall, anxiety soars for retirement savers

Forex Trading Outlook: Will USDJPY Revisit 115?

>> OPEN ACCESS <<
Global markets are ending a hectic week with some relief after risk off sentiment gripped it most of the time. This sets the stage for the coming week where the focus will be on the JPY initially and given the firmer close in USDJPY, the BoJ could put on a squeeze if it so chooses. As for risk sentiment, it should continue to be influenced by the correlation between oil-equities-fx (and bonds).

Forex Analytics and Forecasts from R.Butko, NordF

Forex Forecast for 15-19 February 2016
First, about last week’s forecast:
- the forecast for EUR/USD panned out 100% – the pair remained in a sideways trend until mid-week, then, after Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen’s speech, it broke through resistance at 1.1250 and rose to 1.1350. On achieving this, the pair reverted to 1.1250, turning it into support;
- the forecast for GBP/USD was that the pair would be moving in a 1.4400-1.4545 horizontal channel all week long. That actually happened – the pair stayed between 1.4380 support and 1.4560 resistance for all five days;
- it appeared impossible to make an intelligible prediction for USD/JPY as the experts’ opinions were split almost equally. In fact, the indicators and those who foresaw a further spectacular nosedive proved right. In two weeks, the pair plunged from 121.70 to the bottom of 111.00, i.e. by over 1,000 points, and reached the level of October 2014;
- last week, the analysts were at a loss regarding USD/CHF. The indications of graphical analysis were only partially correct. As expected, at the beginning of the week the pair approached 0.9980, then went down and quickly reached support at 0.9800. After that, instead of rebounding, USD/CHF moved further down, touched the bottom at 0.9660 and only then returned to 0.9800.
Forecast for Coming Week
Summarizing the views of several dozen analysts from leading banks and broker companies as well as forecasts based on different methods of technical and graphical analysis, the following can be predicted:
- as for EUR/USD, 65% of the experts and the indicators on D1 talk about a continuing uptrend. At the same time, graphical analysis on D1 shows that the pair may go up to 1.1400 during the week and only then move down. The remaining 35% of the analysts and graphical analysis on H1 and H4 expect the pair to fall within the next five days. Graphical analysis, in turn, indicates that EUR/USD may stay in a sideways corridor of 1.1225-1.1320 for a day or two at the beginning of the week and then go down to the first support at 1.1150 and then even lower to 1.1030;
- according to graphical analysis, GBP/USD will first bounce to support at 1.4365 and then return to the upward trend that started in the last decade of January. The target is 1.4670. Both 60% of the analysts and the indicators on H1, H4 and D1 agree with this scenario. In the longer term, most experts tend to believe that the pair will again test the bottom of 1.4100;
- obviously the indicators haven’t yet come around after USD/JPY’s crash of the last two weeks. According to most experts and graphical analysis on H4, USD/JPY will continue its rebound up to resistance at 115.60;
- opinions about USD/CHF are split rather evenly – 40% of the experts are for a rise, 35% are for a fall and 25% are for a sideways trend. A similar pattern is observed with the indicators – a rise on H1, a fall on D1 and a compromise midway on H4 supporting neutral movement. Graphical analysis shows a further upward trend – on H4, the support line of the channel passes through the points of 0.9660 and 0.9720, and the resistance line passes through 0.9755 and 0.9810.

the Syrian army confirmed they were shelled by Turkey. I think that Russia got the game changer they were waiting for.

There are some pretty important cases that were heard and expected to be decided w/ Kennedy as the swing vote -- a conservative victory is unlikely w/o Justice Scalia (4-4 w/ kennedy is the best)
I doubt the Senate will confirm any Pres Obama nominee - on an actuarial basis the next President could easily nominate 4 in a 2 year period -- there was pressure from Dems to have older lib Court members step down but that option is no help now

My opinion Turkey is not going to attack anybody but the Kurds - they dodged a bullet w/ that Russian plane shootdown and they know it // The Russian Navy is perfectly safe from Turkish interference for the same reason
Air to air for the Saudis is too risky so everybody will be shooting DOWN at the Ground Troops

Fed Chair Yellen Opens Up On Policy
This brings me to the topic of Janet Yellen on the heels of her semi-annual Humphrey-Hawkins (the old name for it) testimony to Congress earlier this week. I’m not really sure how or why Janet Yellen was elevated to the Chairmanship of the Fed.....
She hopelessly either stammered through or avoided some questions tossed out at her by Congressmen to which she should have known the answers cold.
Greenspan was “the Maestro,” not because it took ingenuity to flood the system with liquidity with system every time the stock market started to head south but because his of his ingenious ability to spin his words into something that sounded highly intelligent.
Bernanke would show visible agitation and his face would flinch when he was given questions for which he was going to answer with a lie.
Janet Yellen, on the other hand, has been put into a seat for which she is pitifully unqualified. Not only does she appear to be incompetent as an economist, but she lacks any ability to think on her feet when confronted with questions beyond the scope of those she’s been programmed to answer since starting her career at the Fed in 1977. The Mysterious Janet Yellen Plus The Retail Sales Data Farce
