It’s not free running a free blog, much less something like a Proprietary Trading site based on Global Macro financial research. Every reader knows that they get something out of the site and for each reader it’s unique. Some like the geo-political twists, some purview based on Quantitative Global financial research.

A couple months ago, I wrote about this one trading magazine written and printed in Australia which sends a “this is your last issue warning” with every delivery, but the magazine continues to come regardless. I mentioned I was curiously attracted to articles about the late WD Gann for “reasons I can’t get into” and my [...]

This magical number will continue to be used as the line at which bulls and bears continue to thrash each other relentlessly like a tug-of-war match in an Ultimate Fighting chained rink. I’m watching the 70.50 [...]
