By Employment Report
By Christian Hill
Before I get to this weeks calendar, I wanted to look back at some reports that came out last week because there were some surprising numbers. Perhaps the biggest surprise came from the Durable Goods Orders report from last Wednesday which showed an increase of 1.3 percent when the market expected zero growth. |

This past week we saw several economic reports that were not only better than expected, but actually showed improvement over the previous month. In all, there were four reports that both beat expectations and beat the previous report. For more on the specifics of the reports, you can look at Christian Hill’s Market Watch below. |

Tuesday morning I received an email from one of financial publishing’s legends.
It said, “Market crashing! Last chance for today’s flash alert!” The email came
at 10:00 AM, and I didn’t open it until 10:20, minutes before I go into lock down… my four-hour communications blackout during which I write – nothing else. |

If we’re in a recession, why did second-quarter GDP show a 3.3% climb? Does that mean the recession is over? Not so fast.
There are two big reasons why second quarter GDP moved higher. And these are two reasons that won’t be around so much in the third quarter. |

Every time I think about the world financial system, I keep coming back to the same image…
Everybody’s around the poker table… trying to call each other’s bluff.
I can see Morgan Stanley on one side… Citigroup, and Lehman are there too. And they are all bluffing about what they’re holding, and everyone playing knows it. |

Despite stating what I thought was a pretty good case for the relationship between oil and the dollar in my article on Monday, I still heard from a naysayer. |

Those who know me think I’m pretty rational.
Not too liberal, not too conservative.
I even have my girlfriend confused on the whole thing. I loved going out all night and getting into trouble. But then I’d come home, pull up a chart, and start talking fiscal policy. |

It’s not quite time, but summer is ending. The tallest maple trees are sporting a few red leaves up here in New England. In a couple of months, I will be in the middle of my annual sector review and outlook. It’s a value update. |

One of the most volatile (and potentially profitable) commodities is natural gas. Sure, there is a lot of it out there, but it’s mostly waiting to be produced. That means any demand spike can quickly push up the price of natural gas. And what the Farmer’s Almanac says about this winter should perk up your ears. |

Are we likely to hear those fateful words one day? The answer is a resounding yes if conniving globalists have their way. Canada, the US and Mexico are destined to be one more major currency block. What exactly will that mean for you and your progeny? |

The fate of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae hang in the balance.
Some observers think that the Treasury will act before the week is out. I’m not so sure. Freddie was able to float $2 billion worth of bonds at decent interest rates yesterday. It probably bought the F&F flim-flam twins some time. |
