Investors should once again consider Ireland as an ideal place for entrepreneurial activity. From 1995 to 2007 Ireland exhibited the highest growth rates in Europe at 6%. One of the keys to making Ireland the Celtic Tiger in investment and growth was the exceptional low corporate tax rate of 12.5%. During those years the country transformed itself into a modern knowledge economy. The focus was on high-tech industries and services. The national economy of Ireland became dependent on industry, trade and most […]
Investors need to be aware that in Europe revisions in how to calculate GDP (Gross Domestic Product) are about to take place. The transformation will take place in September of this year. The end result is to make the individual economies of European nations larger then is presently reported. The same effort was achieved in the United States last year. If the politicians don’t like the economic statistics as reported then just change them. The objective is to magnify the wealth of […]
Our very first Master Trader retreat has been planned to start in Cartagena. We understand that day trading is all about making money but we look at things a little differently at The Day Trading Academy (DTA). We consider everyone at DTA to be family so day trading for us isn’t so much about making money as it is about living a good lifestyle. Having a good lifestyle means spending time with family. The reason why we have been able to succeed with markets […]
Investors now have another opportunity to be part of a major growth industry. The future of agriculture lies with increased mechanization and robotics. It has allowed greater efficiency and cost savings across the sector. Farmers from around the world are seriously making robots part of their business plan and daily operation. In parts of the world where land and labor are expensive, there is a definite need to increase productivity and to develop higher value crops. Robotics in agriculture are becoming an […]
An investor in East Asia may wish to consider Taiwan one of the four original economic Asian Dragons. This economic entrepreneur known as the Republic of China or simply the other China has been a good investment opportunity for two generations. The economy for the second business quarter is surging ahead by 3.8%. As a mostly developed economy, that rate is quite substantive. Growth is being powered by an increase in the export of electronics, increased consumer demand and most significantly an […]
Stocks have been moving well including a variety of commodities. We are looking at a variety of stocks this week and some of our stocks from last week are still surging. Platinum, which we discussed here on the blog in March and June, continued to skyrocket. One important piece of news is the end of the silver price fixing out of London which we highlighted in this post. We have just seen a great retracement in Silver. It may dip all the […]
Investors at long last will be able to witness positive change in the governing of the United States. The elections of 2014 to be held in November, will see the Republican Party recapturing the Senate and maintaining control over the House of Representatives. The legislative lame duck session that follows, will witness the last gasp of a failed agenda and will begin the twilight of the Obama Presidency. Americans have at last come to realize that executive and business experience are valuable […]
Investors should take a look at Whole Foods (WFM). This company is an American foods supermarket that has locations in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The chain specializes in natural and organic foods and has become quite popular in the communities where it is based. The first store was opened in Austin Texas, which serves as the corporate headquarters today. Beginning in 1980, four years later the company expanded to Houston and Dallas. In 1988 the company expanded to […]
For international investors figures don’t lie. The recovery in Europe overall is grinding to a halt. The Euro-zone grew just by 0.2% in the first quarter of 2014. That would only be 0.8% at an annual rate. The bright spot at the beginning of the year was Germany. The German economy had expanded at a rate of 0 .7% in the first quarter. As the 4th largest economy in the world and the biggest economy in the Europe, growth there was vital […]

At The Day Trading Academy we always come up with nick names for all of our Master Traders. It is…. a right of passage. When you have a […]
