Introduction
For many of you, this is nothing new. I’ve been writing about a system which purchases a share of an equity when it dips beneath the 3-5-7 moving averages and sell the same share when it crosses any of the set of moving averages.
Mostly, I used to do this in spreadsheet form for the sake [...]

Don’t Call it a Comeback – LL Cool J
Introduction
Ideas come to me in weird times and spots. This one during my morning routine a few days ago and in between articulating my thoughts on KD and dealing with the normal chaos that is the life of a family with a 13 month old, I managed [...]

I am of course, speaking of Karl ‘Doom Doom’ Denninger
There are days when I wonder why I read his blog. Then I remember that he somehow wormed his way into television appearances against Dennis Kneale and I surrender my best intentions and prepare for another onslaught of  trademarked ‘doomdoom’ rhetoric.
Recently he posted an article called  [...]

From the “I told you so” files
Far back enough for it to be annoying, I made a comment that the best thing that Candian businesses could do to stir the economy would be to seriously diversify away from our neighbours to the south. After watching in annoyance, as municipal and state governments committed acts of [...]

Happy Thoughts in the Morning
I woke to this article from the Globe and Mail talking about China letting their currency float:

I took a break for part of this evening from the lab and thought I would run down some of the blogs that I have on my roll but, haven’t had a chance to review recently. After perusing, and amidst some chuckling, the repeated gongs of doom (Mish & KD), I ended up reading a [...]

Ah, the US Peso. One of my favourite things to watch and comment on as most of us do here above the 49th in the Land of the True North. Watched as much as it is to ensure that the retailers here are aware that we’re aware of the relative value of our goods and [...]

Let’s review:
In April of 2009, I started talking about FXC and the rising value of the Canadian dollar for many reasons ranging for the world class quality of the banking system to the Fear trade in the States pouring the sheep minded masses back into the losing proposition of the commodities.
I mean really, do you [...]

In what seems to be his first day back from the Labour Day festivities, Mark Carney again returns to work hard at keeping the Canadian Loonie below parity with the US Peso.
Something that’s getting harder and harder to do these days.
From this morning’s ReportonBusiness.com article:
But because the loonie’s reversal happened so quickly after passing 93.5 [...]

Last fall I remember furiously writing a few posts about the growing negativity over the markets and some of the real hyperbole that was being discussed  (mostly over at Karl’s Den of Doom and Despair) and I opined for the need of an innovative approach to the (then) current market situation.
Nearly 9 months later, nothing [...]
