Litecoin, Bitcoin and Ethereum Crypto Market Ready For Lunar Launch? / Currencies / BlockChain
By: Avi_Gilburt
Ryan Wilday writes: Over the last few months, I have released a couple articles suggesting a potential bottom was in for the crypto market. Unfortunately, support levels that I called out did not hold, so I had to look lower.
I am writing anew having seen a very bullish pattern off the recent lows struck on April 1. Currently, most of the coins we track have the "impulsive five," a pattern we look for to indicate a bottom. These patterns so far are more bullish in structure than previous patterns seen since January. Furthermore, these structures, as measured in Fibonacci levels, are higher than before. This is promising.

The Precious Metals Conundrum / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: Avi_Gilburt
First published on Sun May 6, 2018 for members of ElliottWaveTrader.net: A sideways correction lasting a year and a half certainly does a lot to sour investors on a market. And, even though we have not dropped below 20 in GDX this entire time and the GLD has been consolidating just under its breakout region for months, the bearishness and frustration in the complex is palpable. In fact, I have even seen people calling for sub $1000 gold again, and we have not even broken a single support level yet. For me, this is a head scratcher.

Stock Market Upside Breakout Pattern to New All Time Highs / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Since before the start of 2018, we have been relying on our advanced predictive modeling systems, technical analysis and our understanding of the capital markets to help our members take advantage of the incredible price swings in 2018. For those that have been following our calls, we’ve pretty much nailed every market turn over the past 5+ months perfectly and have been able to call many of the tops and bottoms in the markets two to three weeks (or more) in advance. Honestly, do you know of any other research firm that can call marker reversals nearly a month in advance and be correct in timing it?

It’s Not Supply & Demand Inflating This US Housing Market Bubble / Housing-Market / US Housing
By: Harry_Dent
I recently told our readers about how this latest real estate bubble looks just like the last one. It’s surged about the same, this time peaking a little higher, and has run for about as long.But what’s driving this bubble is totally different than what drove the last one.
The first bubble was thanks to Baby Boomers flooding the market as they surged through their peak home-buying years in unprecedented numbers. They were helped along with the most liberal lending standards in history. Remember the days of subprime, variable rates, and NINJA loans?

What’s the Real Problem with Tesla? / Companies / Electric Cars
By: Rodney_Johnson
Bonds are an interesting financial animal.With stocks, investors become part owners of a company, albeit usually at a very, very small level. We benefit as the company earns more revenue and profit, hopefully sending some of the cash back to us in the form of dividends, or using the funds to grow the company or, these days, buy back stock.

Stock Market Cycle Inversion... Watch Out Below! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX futures were as high as 2684.50, possibly completing Wave [v] of C of (2). Wave [v] is equal to Wave [i] at 2700.00. Wave C may go as high as 2717.00 in a flat Wave (2).
You can see that I have penciled in the upper trendline of a Triangle formation. However, Triangles are corrective affairs and neither Wave [1] nor (1) are corrective. This is setting up to be a bull trap of major proportions.

Universal Guaranteed Income / Politics / Social Issues
By: BATR
What is next from the egalitarian socialists? A guaranteed income is becoming the new catch concept that is a desired destination for the limousine liberals. If you ask the tax payer, It's time for America to embrace guaranteed income, their first response will be how do you pay for such a benefit? Intuitively they know they will most likely not be included in the scheme and when the obligation burden befalls on those dreaded 1%, you just know that class warfare is doing well on the two-hundredth birthday of Karl Marx. Based upon a recent SF gate poll, Majority of Millennials now favor universal basic income. Amazing the level of economic insanity that comes out of the asylums of higher learning.
