The latest market news, commentary and strategy by Adrian Rowney
5 Things that Grabbed my Attention
1. At some stage in the cycle we will see surging OIL prices with a falling global economy.....The resulting STAGFLATION is going to be horrendous......STAGFLATION will be absolute rocket fuel for PRECIOUS METALS
2. FEDERAL RESERVE just printed another $93bn out of thin air to bail out banks....HAHAHA....Print away Jerome!!
3. The market is pricing in the RBA to keep rates on HOLD next month....I am still expecting Dr Phil to go another 0.25%.
4. Rick Rule who is a bit of legend when it comes to commodities, said that if the price of URANIUM doesn't go up then the lights go out (in parts of the world reliant on nuclear).....Prices desperately need to spike to encourage investment in uranium mines....BIG URANIUM BOOM IS COMING: BUY URNM.
5. Accenture is sacking 19,000 employees....This is a strong indication that business is starting to cut back on IT upgrades/spending.
