All Hail King Dollar! (UUP)
When the U.S. dollar makes a meaningful move, it reverberates across other asset classes. Over the past 12 months, the dollar index rallied roughly 25%, which in part helped steepen the downward spiral in commodities and emerging-market equities, increased volatility in currencies and helped U.S. interest rates rise. All things considered the US dollar now […]
Today Is Judgment Day for the Nasdaq-100 (QQQ)
The Nasdaq-100 — as represented by the PowerShares QQQ Trust, Series 1 (ETF) (NASDAQ:QQQ) — rallied strongly over the past week and a half, which last week was aided by earnings reports from Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Netflix, Inc.(NASDAQ:NFLX) that led to major rallies in those two stocks.

DIA: The Dow Jones Is on the Verge of a Big Move
The Dow Jones Industrial Average — which we like to trade via the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA:DIA) — is made up of just 30 stocks. And yet, for much of the financial media, the Dow Jones remains a simple barometer for the U.S. stock market. My personal preference lies with broader indices such as […]

Charts, yes they are an integral part of active investing and trading, like it or not..regardless of one’s analysis approach. As such, using charts correctly is of essence for success in the markets.
