Happy New Year

S&P Stops 1 Point From our Projection Made January 2016

COMMENT: Congratulations Marty. We closed out the year less than one point away from your maximum (Tech 3) SPX 2016 target of 2239.8038 that your computer established on January 1st, 2016. That’s impressive. I never thought we’d see that number back in January or February, but fortunately your computer harbors no emotion and no bias! Keep up the great […]

Market Talk – December 30th, 2016

In true year end fashion the markets declared yet another one behind us and the game plays on. The Nikkei happily clears the 19k level, the JPY returns weaker after a brief bout of book-squaring, the Hang Seng remains heavy after the autumn highs, Shanghai struggled to hold the November close whilst the Yuan off-shore […]

91 Year Old Woman Court Sides With Bank – Her Cash Saving Illegal

A 91 year old woman in Kristianstad tried to simply deposit her 108,000  SEK (approx. 12000 USD), which was her life savings. The bank refused to accept the notes, because the woman could not explain where they came from. The woman saved the first money in the drawer, because she did not trust banks. Then in a […]

Republican Tax Reform – What About the Deficit?

The Associated Press ran a story reporting: “Congressional Republicans are planning a massive overhaul of the nation’s tax system, a heavy political lift that could ultimately affect families at every income level and businesses of every size.” The interesting aspect is that the headline reads: GOP: Cut taxes, change brackets; but what about deficits There is zero discussion about […]

The same system is being turned on next year in Australia. The entire reason the Founding Fathers of the United […]

Obama’s Desperate Attempt to Save the Democratic Party By Blaming Russia

President Obama has made a desperate attempt to blame Russia for hacking the Democratic National Party (DNC) in an amazing partisan abuse of power. First of all, the DNC is a PRIVATE organization and NOT part of the government. I seriously doubt if it were the Republican Party that was hacked and Hillary won, Obama […]

The Share Market & the Future

QUESTION: As a small retail investor, what would Marty suggest to invest in if in fact we break the 23000 level on the DOW and we do in fact get the phase transition that he is talking about?  Furthermore, what would he use to profit from it?  Shares in particular stocks, futures contracts or options in […]

The Real Crisis Trump Will Face With Trade

The entire problem with trade and jobs has been its focus on only the job and not the consumer. David Ricardo developed his principle that nations should pursue their own competitive advantages. In other words, just because I might want to be a brain surgeon does not mean that (1) I might be very good at […]
