  • Is a New Trading Range In Store? [View article]
    What's your thought on the fact that this most recent rally to resistance has been on pretty lackluster volume and breadth? It seems breadth was more positive last week, but the volume hasn't been as strong as I'd imagine it would be on a breakout to significantly higher levels than where we are.

  • Assessing the Odds of Another Rate Cut [View article]
    And if noticed that Eurozone inflation is much higher than they would like it to be, the dollar appreciating doesn't seem like a given either, which would be one way to stem the rise in commodity prices. I agree, the Fed is in a box, and at this point, it seems like further rate cuts aren't going to do anything more to stimulate this economy. I'd rather they focus on CONTAINING inflation, even if they don't start actively fighting it.....

  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    On a very small level, the Dairy Queen I got to in Ann Arbor just reopened and their small Blizzard, which cost around 2.50 last year is now 3.40! I asked about it and was told that one of the large determinants of the price increase was higher-priced milk. Maybe Alan doesn't like ice cream?

    Thanks for the article, Turley. I definitely think the ERP comments seem to be very true these days.

  • The Week Ahead: The Fed Will Not Cut [View article]
    I hope you're right, Mr. Greek. I think there is political pressure to cut rates and I think oil has pulled back enough for the Fed to somehow justify a cut....I'm crossing my fingers that Bernanke and Co. don't start cutting too far too fast like ol' Alan.

  • New Rules for Global Investing in 2007 [View article]
    wonderful article about many different global economic themes. I would like some clarification on something, if you would....

    You spoke about the fact that Tokyo wouldn't increase rates because of the increased debt payments they would make. If everyone is borrowing yen right now because of the low interest rates, and the BoJ raised rates, they would obviously collect more from those who are borrowing. Would this not offset the increase in payments they make on their national debt, or is the thought that by raising their rates, it would slow down the yen-carry trade too much??

    Hope my question was clear enough because I'd love your feedback. thanks again for the interesting article.
