Euro/USD prediction

Here's just my thoughts about the exchange rate for the currency pair. It seems to me that the low around 1.057 was a failed fifth wave after a long sideways trend. From the 1.057 mark, I think we're headed up over a long, multi-year trend. The question is, "What is about to happen from 1.117?"

I think there are two options. Option one is that 1.057-1.099 was the first leg and we're in the third leg now, which would mean moving upwards towards 1.15. The other possibility, and what I fear is the probable scenario is the move from 1.057 to 1.124 is wave one and we're now in a correction for wave two that will bring us back down to around 1.08. That would also fit nicely into the gap of the close of 4/21 and the open on 4/24. We'll see, but I think that's where we're headed next. After that, it would be off towards 1.18 or higher.

Only time will tell.

It takes time; stay the course

Our world has been changed by the digital age. Do you doubt that or would you like to have some more confirmation? Read this brief article about shortened attention spans and I'll see you back in a minute. It shocked me to find out that our attention spans have shrunk to 8 seconds. Knowing that, I'll keep this brief. In this world where we have the opportunity to seek out any entertainment we want with a few button clicks or screen taps; where we can instantaneously eliminate our perceived boredom in any way we desire; where murders get solved before our very eyes in 60 minutes, repeatedly; and where written responses to personal or professional questions can be sent and received in seconds between correspondents halfway around the world, we run the danger of not being able to enact change in our politics. We who did not vote for the Trump administration must stay patient. We must stay focused. We must stay motivated. To enact ch...

Wake up, independent America

While listening to an episode of The Gist recently, I was shocked to hear Mark Lilla make the statement that Republicans need only win complete control of two more state governments in order to call a constitutional convention. You read that right. In case you weren't aware, the Republican party currently holds complete control in 32 of the state governments. This is from Wikipedia: A Convention to propose amendments to the United States Constitution , also called an Article V Convention , or Amendments Convention , called for by two-thirds (currently 34) of the state legislatures ... Once that threshold of 34 states is reached, they can call a convention to amend the US Constitution. That should strike fear into the hearts and minds of any red-blooded, freedom-loving American. According to Gallup, as of September the US breaks down into 29% R, 30% D, and 40% Independent. Either party gaining such power in the state govern...

Where's your heart?

I was flying recently and as we were banking during the initial ascent I was able to look out of the window at the city with its skyscraper-abundant skyline getting further and further away. Suddenly a suburb came into view and I noticed that the tallest structure was unmistakably a church steeple and was reminded of something I read years ago. I don't remember who wrote it, but the gist of it went something like this: The Gospel of Matthew tells us "where your treasure is, there will your heart be, also." For centuries before the Industrial Revolution, the largest building in any city or town would have most likely been the church. It was the central meeting place. The citizens came together and gave their money to build large, beautiful churches, edifices to stand as a testament to the importance of that faith in their lives. The people might not have had much, but they spent their treasure to build those churches because it was so important to th...
