Trade Recap https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/trade-recap/ Sat, 09 Feb 2019 18:17:25 +0000 https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/?p=754 I’ve been stopped out of the market. I’ll give an analysis below.

Ryan Air Comment https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/ryan-air-comment/ Sun, 11 Nov 2018 16:07:26 +0000 https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/?p=734 I found this on a story about Ryan Air in the Zero Hedge comment section.  The author should open up a Minds.com account and go into writing.  It is brilliant: Have the ECB give them a loan to pay the fine and put a second (or third or fourth, etc.) lien on the aircraft. Have...

Autumn Correction https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/autumn-correction/ Wed, 10 Oct 2018 19:58:59 +0000 https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/?p=692 It looks like the market timers I follow were correct.  We have been in a sizable correction for a week, and today, as I am writing this, is the worst day. If you followed my advise, then half of your retirement money is sitting in T-Bills making 2.5%.  You are not overly concerned. The market...

Dollar Strength https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/dollar-strength/ Fri, 18 May 2018 15:34:40 +0000 https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/?p=657 If you listened to my podcast, I went over how the dollar would strengthen.  Since then, Emerging Market (EM) FX has crashed, and the Euro is now below $1.18.  Gold is also below $1300. The obvious exception is crude oil.  There are 2 reasons for crude strength: Iran and Venezuela, i.e. supply side worries. The...

Fed’s Pickle https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/feds-pickle/ Wed, 02 May 2018 13:46:52 +0000 https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/?p=644 From ZeroHedge: Well, the Treasury did all that and more, revealing that it would sell $31BN in 3Y notes on May 8, a $5BN increase vs the $26BN sold last quarter; additionally, the 10Y refunding auction on May 9 will also increase by $1BN to $25BN vs $24BN last quarter, and a similar increase for...

Markets https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/markets-2/ Tue, 01 May 2018 18:02:10 +0000 https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/?p=640 The Dollar is in a stealth rally.  It is good to see markets line up with theory, as the rate differentials between US/Euro/Jap continue to widen. Crude oil is driven solely by Iran.  If that gets resolved, expect it to crash.  I expect a “Fire and Fury” display from Trump, so crude will probably remain...

Illinois will Fail https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/illinois-will-fail/ Wed, 04 Apr 2018 13:13:53 +0000 https://www.jamesdeprisco.com/?p=616 Think about this.  Suppose the general economic growth in a state is 3%.  Now suppose the state is run by a libtard government.  The governor promises pay raises of 6% for government workers.   Where is the additional 3% going to come from? Since government is a parasite organization that has zero production, it has...
