Out of the four stocks I picked, three of them were excellent candidates and one did not make the cut. I will show you why you should not have taken this "52-Week High On A Friday" trade.

Gold and Silver Update: The Dollar Trap

Foreword

The Dollar Index hit a very important psychological level at $100 on Thursday and closed the week above it despite weaker than expected US economic data.

US Dollar Index Targets

This level hasn't been seen for 12 years. At that time, Gold was at $350-400 level, and Silver was at $5 level. It means that metals prices grew dramatically compared to the Dollar. With the Fed's "guess when I'll lift the rate" game, the Dollar will continue to be in high demand for the foreseeable future. It will put hard pressure on most of the currencies and commodities, including metals. Crude oil already fell prey to the Dollar, approaching a 6-year low below $50. Their negative correlation is very obvious: the higher the Dollar, the lower Crude Oil moves. Continue reading "Gold and Silver Update: The Dollar Trap" →

How to Make Money in the Chaos of Oil and Gas

Posted on by admin

The Energy Report: Stephane, do you think the oil price has hit bottom and is now recovering?

Stephane Foucaud: When the Brent oil price was close to $50/barrel ($50/bbl), I think it was the bottom. It has recovered quite a bit. There is a risk that it might dip again, but I don't think we will reach the low $50s for quite some time. The reason I think there is a risk that the oil price could dip is that there has been an overreaction to the North American rig fleet reports, and particularly to what appears to be a large number of rigs being taken out of the market. Those rigs are, however, associated with lower-producing areas. Therefore, I think it's more sentiment than reality in terms of impact on the supply. The recovery has been too steep.

If you look at the major averages, stocks haven't done well so far this year. After a solid showing in
2014, The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 1.06% and the S&P 500 is down 0.91% year-to-date.

But it's not all doom and gloom for all stocks. Take a look at the NASDAQ so far this year – up 2.40%.
