The following is a newsletter article from Larry Levin of www.secretsoftraders.com and it touches on the ice berg of a major issue.  Some of this is opinion, although opinion from a successful trader who understands the markets.  That said, always read between the lines as numbers can be made to look pretty much any way…

USD/JPY Forex Swing Trade Signal and Set-UP

The USD/JPY pair broke above the 99.50 resistance level a few days ago, and has since retreated. The retreat took the pair back to a low 99.30 – right near the top of the old resistance area. The fact the market held this level, combined with a strong day today which is pushing the price…

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is a member bank funded insurer that covers cash deposits up to $250,000. There has been talk recently that if the fund has become depleted and is in danger.  So the questions become: Are deposits at risk? And how will the FDIC rebuild its depleted reserves?

Dow Catches a Chill From Falling So Fast

On Wednesday after the market closed, everyone was talking about a market rally (from the reports I saw/read). Up 130 points was just the move that was the result of restored confidence, but not only that, it was going to trigger further rallying.

DOW 6000?

I have talked about the Dow Jones Index going to 6000 for quite some time.  From the first time we tried to break down to this level we saw a rally, but that rally was stifled on multiple attempts to break above 9000 with any conviction.  The market again broke lower and has now failed…
