NEWPORT, R.I. - John Marinatto insists that the Big East is stronger now that it has ever been. The Big East commissioner said exactly that during the league's annual football media day Tuesday. And, well, he's probably right. The basketball side of the conference is arguably the best in collegiate sports. Women's basketball and Olympic sports are thriving. And as the statistics to which Marinatto often points bear out, the football side of the Big East is as competitive as it has ever been.
The chatter started several years ago, perhaps around the time the euro came into being. The word was the US dollar would soon lose its status as the world's reserve currency. The bad news: It won't come as a surprise to anyone that the US deficit will get worse, and chances are, much worse. The good news: The EU, and the euro, are in worse shape than the US when it comes to fiscal issues. The result is the US dollar, barring unforeseen circumstances, will remain in the reserve currency pole position, just as the US economy will most likely remain the largest in the world for a long time.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A number of new offerings in the fourth quarter - spurred by Groupon - helped to jump-start the U.S. IPO markets in November after a significant drop in third quarter pricings due to high market volatility, according to PwC US. The market reignited in December with the return of larger offerings, including Michael Kors and Zynga, which combined with Groupon and Delphi raised $3.2 billion - half of fourth quarter total proceeds. The surge in activity and relative strength in the number and diversification of industries in the IPO pipeline are early signs of a healthier IPO market in 2012, according to IPO Watch, a quarterly and annual survey of IPOs listed on U.S. stock exchanges by PwC's transaction services practice.

Everything operates within a context. All creatures, human and otherwise, function within a life cycle. The financial markets are no exception to the contextual analogy, especially when cycles of a defined time frame are involved. Each stock, index, commodity, mutual fund, or exchange-traded fund trades within a cyclical context from the smallest recordable cycles to the longest trends. A number of indicators can be used to analyze a given cycle in a specific issue. While some may rely on proprietary solutions, market tools such as stochastics, momentum, rate of change, the relative strength index, %R and so on, can be used one at a time or via joint confirmations to determine both the Reference and the Timing Cycle. Regardless of the cyclical context that a trader ultimately chooses, t...
The latest numbers reflect the running narrative of the Yakima Valley's agricultural economy: Jobs are available -- Yakima County's unemployment rate isn't that far from the state's -- but the pay is low and the hours vary with the season. The 2010 Census, America's demographic snapshot, also brought into focus the local impact of the nation's lingering economic recession. More than 2,500 nonagricultural jobs in the county have disappeared since 2008. So despite an ag-based local economy that had maintained relative strength in the past decade, the number of Yakima County residents living at or below the federal poverty level actually rose to 24 percent. That's up from the 19.7 percent in 2000.
The top-down exchange-traded fund (ETF) strategy is designed to make consistent profits in both up and down markets. Based on a summary of this approach, most traders can get off the ground quickly. The top-down approach consists of three main steps. The first step is to determine the overall trend of the broad market: up, down or sideways. The second step is to identify the industry sector indexes that are participating most strongly in the prevailing market trend. Finally, the third step is to determine which specific ETF family is performing best within that particular sector index. When scanning for potential plays, first filter out any ETFs with an average daily volume of less than 100,000 shares. Beyond the average daily volume requirement, simply choose the ETF with the most rela...
