What If The Price Of Oil Went Up 10% Tomorrow? Then What?

Our latest forecasting product is the “What If Scenarios”, a tool to simulate different market conditions. These scenarios are based on our current forecasting algorithms and endeavor to see beyond tomorrow’s actions of major market players. They provide macroeconomic perspectives to monetary policies and market fluctuations. For example, what if tomorrow the oil goes up by 10%, what will be the market forecast then? It is just one example of the immense possibilities we can exploit to make investment decisions. Interest rates, oil prices, currency rates, are in the hands of a few major market influencers, such as governments and oil producers. Assuming different possible actions by these big players, we can forecast the outcome of their actions. Also, the market sentiment can change due to some unexpected event, which affects the major indexes. Our algorithms will assess the current global events and their effects on the market. This will allow you to know which market will react, how strongly it will react and in what direction? Read more.



Recognizing A Stock Market Bubble Before It Bursts

Think of a market bubble like a soap bubble, the kind of bubble that kids blow up out on the sidewalks in the summer. As the kid blows, the bubble grows and grows with no indication that it will stop, until it pops. These bubbles are transparent, hard to see without the sunlight glinting off them. Market bubbles are significant growths in the market that are not based on anything substantial. Just like soap bubbles, they can pop with no clear warning and simply dissipate into the wind. Bubbles are created when the price of a stock or of a good increase dramatically without any sound reason. Often the cause is as simple as people getting carried away with what they believe for whatever reason is a sound premise. People hear from their neighbors that something is going to be a huge success and can’t possibly fail, and then a combination of mob psychology, fraud, greed, and government incompetence causes the formation of a bubble that is bound to burst.

Alibaba's Takeover Of Lazada Is A Big Deal--Here's Why

Alibaba’s (BABA) $1 billion investment to take control of Lazada is Jack Ma outplaying Bezos in Southeast Asia. There are now 600 million e-commerce customers in Southeast Asia that Alibaba (and not Amazon (AMZN)) can exploit. Lazada is Southeast Asia’s biggest e-commerce operator. Amazon got too busy building its operations in India that it got outplayed by Alibaba in taking control of Lazada. Lazada went big on Southeast Asia e-commerce in 2012 when Alibaba and Amazon kept ignoring it. Decelerating growth in North America and China’s economies means Southeast Asia and India are the next growth opportunities for e-commerce leaders like Alibaba. Amazon is still struggling in India against Flipkart and Snapdeal. Alibaba bought the e-commerce leader in Southeast Asia. It is my fearless forecast that Alibaba/Lazada will prosper in Southeast Asia while Amazon will continue to trail Flipkart in India. With Lazada’s help, Alibaba can dominate Southeast Asia’s internet economy. Alibaba can bring its Tmall/Taobao products and partner vendors to Lazada’s six Southeast Asia websites. Read more.
