Oil Is Not The First Commodity To Crash In The Post-Crisis Period
Interesting chart and piece by Josh Brown at The Reformed Broker showing that there is nothing special about the collapse in oil.
Finviz – Year To Date Relative Performance
I was doing a bit of research for the market wrap on Talking Trading and was curious to know what the best performing commodity was so turned to Finviz which has a range of useful free data.
Particularly relevant for those of us who are getting on a bit. Robert Aronowitz, a historian of medicine and medical doctor at the University of Pennsylvania, points out that when drug companies are able to treat people who might become sick, as opposed to patients with symptoms, the market is a lot larger.

Where Are The Economists Yachts?
For your edification I bring you two articles. Firstly, a series of predictions made by Saxo Bank economists. Secondly, and more sensibly a piece that rightly asks – where are the economists yachts?

Men Are Idiots …. Not Really New News…
So they took a look at the data on Darwin Award winners over the past 20 years, from 1995 to 2014. This is excellent data to work with. The winning event must be verified, winners must “show an astounding misapplication of common sense,” the winners must be both capable of making good decisions — and…

Oh Dear…..Part One
I actually saw this article the other day whilst having breakfast after training. The opening point so caught my eye that I had to find the original source article and see if it was correct – my looking over someones shoulder guess was that is was not. The article begins with a somewhat staggering claim…
Grouses Of The Holy
Yet this is not the case. Finding Led Zeppelin on the radio today is no more difficult than it was in 1973. If you stroll around the campus of any state college, the likelihood of finding kids wearing Zeppelin T-shirts mirrors the likelihood of finding kids trying to buy weed. This summer, British fashion designer…

A bit of a bounce but why am I reminded of the old adage never try to catch a falling knife…..
