The LinkUs Hub – “The Hub”

  • March 30, 2010 10:57 pm

ApartOfNY is proud to add the Linkus Hub, or “The Hub” to our menu bar. Please check it out .

The LinkUs Hub was started by GoodVibe Market Vibes, or GV, and is a great place to share and learn about trading.  A couple of comments on the hub from Gv’s site are:

What is “LinkUs Hub” or “The Hub”?

“The Hub” is one of a kind financial discussion-room where our fellowship of traders and investors gather and communicate LIVE with each other 24×7 to discuss all things related to the market. We post our contributions for others to read when they also stop by later to drop their own work. Others will come later to do the same thing in a free flow of information.

What “The Hub” is NOT?

We don’t do chitchat. No empty debates either. Long useless talk? Nope! Unverified claims? Nada! Unreliable analysis? Zip! Unsupported opinions? Zero! Emotional baggage? Hell no! Whining? Never! Bragging. No chance! Immature behavior. Never! Personal attacks? On our DEAD bodies. Herd mentality. Not anytime we checked! :)

So try it out.  The Hub’s mission statement is “Share, Learn and Grow”.

AUD/USD – I still see this going to 0.72 sometime this year.  The Impetus is likely to be problems in China.

EUR/USD – I still see this getting to 1.27.  It may however soon be time for a bounce.

We are entering stage II of the Debt Crisis

  • March 20, 2010 9:19 am

The story of Martin Armstrong is a constant reminder that we no longer live in a free country.  He was one of the worlds foremost minds on economic strategy.   Then he started telling a few too many truths.  Now he is sitting in solitary confinement having to smuggle out manuscripts – who says we have no political prisoners.   Anyways, his latest work is predicting that we are starting the next phase of the debt crisis.   He also gives some advice that the politicians will never implement.   A few paragraphs from his manuscript are

“I am writing this because it is urgent.   We are entering Phase II of the Debt Crisis.  When the Euro was being born, A special commission came to my London Lecture by special request.  I explained that they had to adopt the original Fed Model so that each country had its own interest rate.  That they adopted just as the 12 branches of the Fed, at first, had a separate interest rate to manage capital flow.  Now the EC is in a dire position and a debt crisis at the sovereign level is starting to materialize.  This will spread to US/State debt and the CFTC move to limit currency trading by the public from 100:1 to 10:1 can cause a liquidity crisis that backfires,  magnifying everything.”

“Please Forward this to Politicians everywhere

(1) We freeze all National Debt
(2) We issue coupons whereby the debt will be redeemed for local currency to be invested in the domestic economy debt or equity
(3) Each Nation then establishes its own currency pegged to (Euro).  The US debt is swapped for coupons that may be spent domestically
(4) All direct taxation must end.   No Income Tax, Gift, Inheritance, Capital Gains or Property Tax.  All local Gov’t funds itself by Retail Sales Tax.
(5) Fed Gov’t prints the cash needed instead of accumulative deficit each year as % of GDP.  Add up interest paid 1986-2006 – The US debt,  other than interest, would have been $300 Billion.   Printing, if controlled, will not be a FIAT nor hyperinflation.   We need a steady growth of money supply to expand and keep pace with population.”

Nothing Important Happened Today…

  • March 15, 2010 6:10 pm

The Dodd bill was interesting though…

Today continued the high-volume-market-down-low-volume-market-up trend.  60% of the volume on the NYSE was down today although the primary indicies eeked out another up day.  Advance decline is also waning.  Liquidity is disappearing.  Anyway I wont bother with a EW count today, as nothing has really changed.  I will just give a few of my more Macro (i.e. Longer Term Charts).  Enjoy!

Quick update on AUD/USD

  • February 18, 2010 11:42 pm

 On Jan 31 2010 we published our opinion on the AUD/USD currency pair.  In that analysis we said,

“Although we may get a bounce up to 0.91,  I expect this currency to drop to 0.72 (with a pause around 0.8)”

We now consider the bounce, that we predicted to approach 0.91, to be complete.   The next inflection/consolidation point should be 0.8.  We expect 0.72 sometime after that.

If you have read my earlier posts on the EUR/USD you will know that I have a 1.27 target on the pair, for sometime in the first half of 2010.  I realize that that is fairly useless from a trading perspective.  I have therefore put together a much shorter term analysis…

The above chart shold show the primary support and resistance levles to 1.27.  Good Luck!
