Symptoms Of Too Much & Too Litle Stomach Acid

Overwhelmed by economic data consistently negative, the stock markets could not help but pursue the path of downward embarked in previous months.
The weekly chart of the index more representative of the U.S. market, the S & P 500, has a disturbing sequence of 'red candles':



not even the comfort given the volatility that, although it is gradually returning from
excesses of late 2008, remains at levels of attention to indicate that among the investors still great fear and uncertainty about the direction that will take the financial markets:



E 'worrying the fact that participation in this fall involving all the sector indexes as well as almost all the securities listed on the New York Stock Exchange: in fact, no license is included in the Dow Jones Composite at levels above its moving average to 200 seats and given rising to 3% of the securities included in the S & P 500 and 7% of the securities included in the Nasdaq 100.
The situation does not improve much if we consider the moving average of 50 sessions, with only 3% of the shares of Dow Jones, 10% of the shares of the S & P 500, 16% of the shares of the Nasdaq 100 is defined located in an uptrend medium term.

However, investors should be aware that extraordinary sequence characterized by long action of the market place is particularly deteriorated in periods when valuations are, by contrast, generally attractive. Consequently, an approach dictated by the rationality of financial markets, would make the building, albeit with caution, in view of the positions that can provide more than acceptable returns over the medium to long term.
at this time, however, certainly take over behavior dictated by the news very reassuring coming from the macroeconomic front and lead to behaviors influenced by extreme pessimism.
The rational investor should, therefore, to base their choices not so much a preference for financial instruments are good at this particular juncture because those assets that returns facing more interesting without losing sight of the fundamental pillars of good financial planning is that the time horizon and risk tolerance.

E 'therefore need to make a proper assessment of the expectations to be able to make a rational choice.
therefore contains an interesting reflection proposed by John Hussmann and I invite anyone with a minimum of familiarity with English to read in the original:

http://www.hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc090223.htm

In its Hussmann analysis identifies the so-called peak earnings, ie earnings recorded in year in which the economy is at the point of maximum expansion. Among other
a peak (so spaced from the other phases of the normal business cycle: slowdown, recession, recovery) profits are growing at an average annual rate of 6%, so far from the growth rates on which these judgments are based proposals financial analysts (for example, in 2007, analysts estimated a rate of earnings growth of 18%!).



It 'obvious that the cycle of growth and contraction of profits so far is contained within an ascending channel. Earnings estimates for 2009, relative to the S & P500, fell to $ 28 than $ 78 recorded in 2008 and prices will inevitably have adequate index. The break the downward trend line below shows the uniqueness and severity of the economic slowdown taking place but also allows us to determine with some precision what will be the annual average returns of the next decade on the U.S. stock market.
look at this chart may be helpful:



The thin lines represent a band 'confidence' range within which the values \u200b\u200bof underestimation (P / E = 10) or overestimation (ratio P / E = 20) according to market quotations and expected earnings, the bold line represents the average annual return of the shares of the S & P 500 over the next decade (so it stops at 1999), shown on the left axis: for example, an investment that began in 1990 has provided an average return slightly less than 20% annually, while maintaining the same investment in 1999 there was a loss of close to 4% per annum.
In any case, whenever the market has seen prices similar to those existing in terms of multiples of P / E has now been implemented during the next decade, major returns.

Finally I will touch briefly on the U.S. housing market. He has always said that in this field has originated the crisis and, therefore, should be monitored to catch the first signs of recovery.

The source of the first graph is the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and shows the progress of the construction of new buildings:



E 'clear the sudden drop in new construction of housing units by the end of 2006.
The next graph shows us instead as the price of homes has continued to rise well into 2007 despite the decline in demand, a dynamic that reveals the existence of a bubble destined to burst soon:

In the presence of inflation it is customary to consider investing in commodities as a protection from rising prices. Inflation, in fact, is associated with expansions of the business cycle characterized by an increase in production and thus the demand for raw materials.

While, therefore, the increased cost of living reduces the purchasing power of the nominal value at maturity of our investments and their real return increases to certain other assets that we've entered a fat wallet diversified.

However, you can also use the commodities in anticipation of the trend of inflation and to draw useful to prevent the trend in rates. This not only allows us to have a real asset to hedge the value of a bond portfolio but also to act in advance to the trend in rates.
Reference to a study a few years ago that I think may be helpful at this stage of market

Basically it says that in light of studies on the financial markets over the past forty years, there is a significant correlation between changes in prices of certain commodities and changes in consumer prices and production over the next year.
In the view of leading indicators (ie assets) of inflationary pressures seem to be the most effective role played by the precious metals because the price of gold shows a correlation of 0.71 and 0.76 with the change that is recorded in ' subsequent calendar year, respectively, consumer prices and production. This correlation drops slightly for silver (0.66 and 0.63) and the Journal of Commerce Index (0.62 and 0.71).
yet clear correlation between commodity prices and the trend in this case the yield of T-Bond, which stands at 0.70 for gold and silver, platinum and 0.66 to 0.76 for a basket of teams three major precious metals.
It is less clear correlation between commodities and trend yields and the short rates.

The article also argues that the correlation between inflation performance and prices of agricultural commodities and industrial products, although obvious, is not indicative in anticipation of inflationary trends because these commodities are directly involved in the production process while it is still important the role that gold and precious metals are of as welfare staff.

Despite the increasingly widespread in the investment community (and the public) the fear of deflation that may last for several years, the consensus of economists is oriented in reality for a pickup in inflation since the end of 2009, driven by the extensive use made by the major central banks and governments to enlargement of the monetary base and debt to deal with the current economic crisis.



is commonly used to analyze the trend of inflation through the data provided by governments or government agencies. However, because of the dynamics by which they are collected, processed and published, these data are useful as lagging indicators confirm a trend that is already in place.
This is reflected in this market environment, a substantial underestimation of inflation-linked bonds, because the price of the thirtieth anniversary of this type shows a break even point with inflation around 1.5% annually. As if to say that it is assumed that the annual average inflation for the next thirty years, is about 0.5% lower than the limit that the ECB itself as level 'ideal' to the achievement of which directs its fiscal policies :



if we consider unlikely that the level of inflation can be sustained for so long on values \u200b\u200bthat the ECB considers inappropriate is clear that the asset class of securities linked to inflation proves to be an interesting area of opportunities.

Financial markets, contrary to official statistics, show much more dynamic to adapt to rapidly changing scenarios. In fact, in recent weeks the prices of raw materials, and especially those of precious metals, have started to rise, opening up a bet on what will be bullish and inflation rates over the next few months is sufficient to note the recent rise respectively platinum, silver, gold

[New Science] Quantum Physics. The implications in real life (~ 1:45 a.m.)

The original title of this documentary: "What the bleep do we know?"

Many people know the basic principles of quantum physics. But not all realize the extent of this "new" science. In fact, quantum physics is not just about the subatomic world but also the world that we can "see" and ourselves, both as a body, but especially as interiority, as essence.

PS:

Warning! This documentary contains inaccuracies and scientific discourse, while not exactly wrong, is driven in order to endorse a spiritual discourse misleading. The purpose of the research is and remains the knowledge of ourselves. The speech material and control the thoughts in order to obtain the satisfaction of their desires is misleading. Each inner journey must lead to the realization of what 'that is beyond thought. THOUGHT AND ' They also ILLUSION. Piloting the thought used to obtain other illusions, does not lead to REALITY '. We must get to know the thought to go beyond it, and bring our awareness to the essence, not to mind. Look how this documentary with a critical eye: it provides interesting information but also misleading elements. Investigate and therefore do not stop to this documentary.

[New Science] subatomic physics. String theory (~ 1h30)

This documentary (The Elegant Universe) provides a good description of string theory, which combines quantum physics and the theory of relativity. More videos are available on my youtube channel (youtube channel).
