The latest stock rally on Monday 10-15 was ignited
by news that home starts had increased. But Wall St forgot that housing
STARTS don't equate to home SALES. Home starts -- building -- only add
to an already-bloated inventory! That is DEFLATIONARY, and is not a
sign off recovery!
Now, reality returns to Wall St! Today, we learn that existing home SALES have declined. There is NO housing recovery!
I am a student of economics, financial analyst, and futures trader, specializing in agricultural commodities, and especially grains, but I also trade gold and other metals, soft commodities, treasuries, and stock index futures.
I began trading spot Forex currency crosses in May 2003, and in August 2006, I met a futures trader who has been making a living in futures for more than 20 years, and he became my futures mentor. I've never looked back, and I am now head trader for Global Capital Reserves, my own firm.
I also have both Bachelors and Master of Science degrees in business.
I really enjoy trading futures, and hope to share my successes, a few failures, and methodologies.
