India is one of the hottest economies on the planet and holds tremendous profit potential for investors. No doubt in my mind. Why? India's economy is growing at a 9% rate, TEN times faster than the U.S. and only a couple of percentage points behind China. And the Indian economy is not merely outgrowing the U.S. by leaps and bounds; it's also at the very epicenter of the booming natural resource markets. There's too much happening there to cover everything in one column, but today I'll give you my top six reasons why investing in India may well prove to be a highly lucrative proposition. For starters, consider the following ... Reason #1: India has the fastest-growing population in the world, expanding at the rate of some 16 million per ...

Volume jumped across the board Friday market the 3rd straight day worth of volume increases. Along with the volume increases we did see stocks move higher showing signs of accumulation. There is no doubt that the decline in oil prices eased the fears of traders on Wall Street helping fuel, pun intended the gains this past week. The only issue with this past week was volume was lower than previous week. Now mind you we didn’t trade on Memorial Day so this is a bit skewed, but we did see lighter trade all week. This past week highlights that its too difficult to make large bets on either side of the isle. I would expect to see this continue until we see more volume. Positioning yourself in this market is a difficult task. Many have to weigh action versus inaction. Most will choose ...

It was nice to see oil stop rising to the moon and for stocks to still continue higher as a constant rotation from commodity into higher quality tech stocks does seem to be evolving. In fact, it appears commodity stocks are going to continue higher with those new leaders that are starting to emerge. I can only pray that this trend of prettier charts and higher quality longs continues to show in the market. There is no doubt when you see longs like HRS, PVA, FMC, COP, FST, JOYG, TUP, CRK, BUCY, and CLR move like they did today that we do not have some sort of speculative action in oil longs. Along with this action, you can see a lot of technology industries moving higher on the list of IBD industry groups. There is only one way to spin that: bullish. The great thing that some commentators were actually complaining about ...

There is no doubt that I am suffering my WORST Multiple Sclerosis attack to date. Since Saturday I have basically been bed ridden and RIGHT OFF THE BAT I want to apologies if any of this is a little hard to follow because I feel like trash. I am not sure if this will effect what I am about to write but do me a favor and do NOT bust my balls if I misplace a word or misspell a word. My life is too short to deal with this. I had a completely different approach in mind when I first wanted to write this but I figure I will stick with the facts. The facts are as quickly as this market looked like good times could be returning it in fact was possibly throwing us false “all clear” signal. Now while I never fully bought into this rally due to ...

What is the market impact from the interpretation of data? It is an open and free debate, but there is a problem. The results follow from advanced statistical methods and processes. Even the smartest hedge fund managers, columnists, and pundits cannot draw independent conclusions. They did not take the right classes. They never did any time series modeling or survey research. Briefly put, they lack the necessary skills to evaluate most data. The result: Nearly everyone relies upon the analysis of those accepted as experts. What choice is there? This is a recognized principle in social science, called the two-step flow of communications. Application to the Monthly Payroll Employment Report When do we know that data interpretation has a market impact? One test might be the widespread citation of a conclusion.
