[Chart(s) of The Week] An “Interest”-ing Divergence

July 10, 2019 by Tom Bruni

From the desk of Tom Bruni @BruniCharting

JC beat me to writing about Interest Rates this morning, but while I came to the same conclusion I wanted to add some additional perspective that shared on Real Vision this past Monday.

While that segment was about Mid-Cap Industrial stock Herman Miller Inc., a big part of that thesis is that we’re seeing US Rates begin to stabilize.

The chart I want to share today is the Regional Banks/REITs ratio, which highlights an “Interest”-ing divergence between Equities and the Bond/Commodities markets.

All Star Interviews Season 3, Episode 1: James Brodie, Athena Financial Solutions

July 5, 2019 by JC

James Brodie started out auditing for Arthur Andersen and did not particularly enjoy it. In the early 1990s he started to learn about derivatives at the largest bank in the world before ultimately moving to Credit Suisse. He’s lived in London, Singapore, New York and Tokyo trading currencies for both the banks and proprietary and then started his own hedge fund. James is also on the Board of the CMT Association.

James is a big fan of behavioral finance and we talk about different studies where we’ve learned that the better traders actually have more losing trades than winning trades.
