Euro: Time To Take Profits

April 10th, 2009 · Comments

During third week of March I had argued that the Euro’s spike up against the Dollar would not last and recommended shorting the Euro against a basket of currencies dominated by commodity driven currencies like the Australian Dolla (FXA) and the Canadian Dollar (FXC). I had added a comment to relative underweight of the Canadian [...]

Moody’s Dangerous Mood Swings

Does Big Oil’s Apathy Justify Proposals to Tax Windfall Profits?

July 7th, 2008 · Comments

Crude Oil’s relentless march towards the near term spike target of $150 is now threatening to send the Global Economy into a recession. Big Oil companies (Exxon-Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A), BP (BP) and ConocoPhillips (COP)) are in the thick of the controversy as the rising price of oil has seen their [...]

Tata Nano

January 10th, 2008 · Comments

The TATA Nano was finally unvieled today. I was surprised at some of the negative press the car got:

It is unsafe
It is environmentally unfriendly
Who will supply the gas

This article in the American does a great job in dispelling these myths.

“They said this day would never come…”

January 4th, 2008 · Comments

So started Senator Obama’s victory speech after the results from Iowa caucuses came out. Polls were showing an upswing for Senator Obama but the margin of victory was much higher than anticipated. Edwards second place showing has really weakened Hillary Clinton. Ironically, all the three Democratic front-runners were talking about change. However, Obama sounds the [...]
