Renzi to Resign – Italy Follows the Global Trend – Votes NO

December 5, 2016

We are witnessing what a Private Wave is all about. The Italian Referendum came in on point with the NO vote at  59.4% against 40.6%. Our model is now four for four with BREXIT, Trump, Hollande in France exiting the election, and now Italy. We will see the same defeat for Merkel. What politicians do […]

Why Politics is So Important Right Now – Markets Depend On The Confidence

December 3, 2016

Our computer has been doing a fantastic job forecasting BREXIT, then Trump and that Hollande would not make the final round for elections in France. But why are these events even important? No it is not that Trump will save the day. He will perhaps help give the USA some breathing room. But the collapse […]

Brussels Contemplates Outlawing Short Selling on European Bank Stocks

October 23, 2016

The European banks are in much worse shape than their US competition. The reason being argued in Europe is that the US government imposed a ban on speculation after the financial crisis. However, that was imposed on September 19, 2008, and it ended on October 9, 2008. But some Europeans claim that is why US banks survived and want […]

October 20, 2016

COMMENT: Marty; I can’t make it to Orlando. I waited too long to book and you are sold out. But I wanted to let you know your forecast that the Schengen  Agreement would die is spot on as you say.
