Stock Market Today – Week of March 11th

By StockJock-e | 03.12.2013 | Posted in Stock Market Today

We have the Dow pushing highs, AAPL has bounced off the lows and blue skies are here again.

Is it safe to get back into the pool?

Join us in the weekly Stock Market thread for this weeks discussion.

Questions over how much higher the market can go have kept caution in play, with some technical indicators suggesting the market is overbought.

But the case for investing in stocks is strong, they said, particularly given signs of more strength in the economy, especially Friday’s jobs report, which showed a much higher-than-expected 236,000 workers added to the payrolls in February.

“We’re telling clients to take a more defensive approach to the market right now,” said Frank Fantozzi, chief executive of Planned Financial Services, an independent wealth manager in Cleveland.

Debunking The Myth: The Demise Of The U.S. Dollar

By StockJock-e | 12.07.2012 | Posted in The Stock Market

The latest article from Mark Vierra about the US dollar:

“The USD has not been the only reserve currency for many years (e.g., SDRs and a substantial amount of euros are held by Central Banks). Also, many partners with China trade in yuan, sometimes referred to as the renminbi (CNY). However, all of this is a tiny fraction when looking at the enormous amount of U.S. global trade. The BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) nations — and as of 2011, many consider South Africa the newest member of the BRICS — use other currencies when trading with each other, and are only a small minority of the total global trade. It’s important to remember that the largest trade partner is what normally determines the preferred currency.”
