It has been the driving force behind making the country the richest and […]

Elections have consequences and the reelection of Israeli Prime Minster Netanyahu will be no different. This stunning electoral upset will have an impact on investment, that will reach far beyond the borders of Israel. There were various factors that lead to a landslide victory for an unprecedented nonconsecutive 4th term for Netanyahu, who has been Prime Minster since 2009. It had become a referendum on his policies. The last minute turn around, was most likely due to a sharp turn to the […]
The American dollar is now hitting new 12 year highs. This has been the fastest rise in 40 years. The major currencies of the world continue to sink against the United States dollar (USD). As world commodities are priced in dollars, the rapid decent in their cost is creating new misery in developing nations. Many of these countries are overly dependent on these industrial raw materials. World trade is attempting to readjust to a strong dollar with some unexpected results. Part of […]

In the current world environment of increasing government regulation and taxes on economic activity, it is becoming ever more challenging to find an avenue to invest for future growth and security. Returns are getting ever closer to zero, for an increasing number of investors. There are for the moment at least, declining […]
Around the world central banks and governments attempt to bring the return of growth to their domestic economies. Ever lower interest rates and bouts of quantitative easing in various amounts, have become widespread across the globe. As each nation attempts to gain a competitive edge in exports by forcing the value of their national currency lower, it only encourages the next nation to follow suit. The hope remains that if only enough liquidity is injecting into the domestic economy, the halcyon days […]
One our students is a very conservative trader Manny style of trading is most times he only takes a few trades a day and finished in roughly 10-15 minutes. Trading professionally for years now the reason why he has been so consistent is because he sticks to his plan on averaging 2-3 points per day. It isn’t about making a million dollars a day (maybe it will be once we have our hedge fund up and running) its about making money everyday. Here […]
An investor might wonder why would the 8th largest nation in the world with abundant natural resources and a well educated populace, continues to lurch from one economic crisis to the other. The nation of Argentina has been mismanaged since independence over 200 years ago. In keeping with that tradition, the country defaulted on its debt for the second time in 13 years in July 2014. Of course according to the government of Argentina, it was the result of some bond holders […]
The foreign policy of the United States of America under President Barack Obama is a disaster and is only going to get worse. It is difficult to point to any real success and the policy of leading from behind has been totally discredited. Around the world the enemies of the United States and its allies are on the move. The total collapse of the post war framework, put in place by the West after victory in World War II in 1945 and […]

The amount of international debt has now surpassed $200 trillion USD (United States Dollar) and is rising fast. Instead of permitting the last global contagion in 2008 and 2009, to provide some market correction to a bloated and unsteady framework, policy makers decided on an alternative. They would flood the world with liquidity and it […]
