  • EUR/USD Commentary and Analysis by Ralph Shell
    This morning there is broad based weakness in US equities.  Though today's market is not dramatically lower, it is broad based, with nearly 90% of the companies in the S&P 500 in the red.  Doug Kass, a financial adviser and money monager with an outstanding track record says we... More »

  • USD/CAD Commentary Analysis and Trades by Ralph Shell
    The failure of the market to plow through into a new high for the loonie has proved to be a disappointment for the bulls. Digging through the weekly commitment of traders reports is not exciting, but it did reveal an abundance of small spec longs in that market, offset by commercial... More »

  • GBP/USD Commentary and Analysis by Ralph Shell
    There is a perception that the British will be a little slower recovering from the recession than their European neighbors, and perhaps the United States too.  Is it the pounds inability to hold rallies that is fostering this perception, the Bank of England's continuing monetary expansion,...

  • EUR/USD Commentary and Analysis by Ralph Shell
    There is an old addage that by the time a story reaches the headlines of the Wall Street Journal, it is stale news.  The WSJ today announced that the USD is steadily losing global influence, however today's epiphany had little market impact.  This story was in response to the projected...

  • USD/CAD Commentary and Analysis by Ralph Shell
    Failure of the CAD to assault the old high's at the 1.0660/1.07 area probably disappointed some of the massive longs in this CAD.  The pair has suffered accordingly, and is now trading at 1.0850.  Crude oil is a couple bucks lower today, but equities remain in demand. A recurring... More »

  • GBP/USD Commentary and Analysis by Ralph Shell
    The pound is showing some signs of fatigue and is currently trading at 1.6365.  Past breaks to the 1.63 handle has found support, and a return to the 1.65 level.  This pair has been trading in the mid 1.60's since early June, so it will take some serious economic events to dislodge the...

  • GBP/USD Commentary and Analysis by Ralph Shell
    Despite concerns that the Bank of England has been frivolous with the expansion of money, the pound to the confusion of many, has remained in high esteem, especially against the dollar.  Since the Fed's policies differ little from the Bank of England's, this may explain the recent lack of...

  • EUR/USD Commentary and Analysis by Ralph Shell
    If Friday's strength was supposed to be the preamble for an assault on the old highs above 1.44, then today's early action is a disappointment for the bulls.  Granted, it is early in the week, but this pair may be loaded with EURO longs in search of instant gratification.  The weekend... More »

  • Commodity ETF Strategies: Now and Future by ValidFi
    Managed futures has been long recognized to be an excellent portfolio diversifier. However, long only commodity investment is not good enough.
