FYI | Jun 03 2011
By Rudi Filapek-Vandyck, Editor FNArena
I recently joined Twitter. Not because I am curious what this celebrity has to say about her kids, or to read that another one is waiting for a connecting flight, impatiently. Twitter allows me to follow news and commentary sources such as Dow Jones' Marketwatch, Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal. It assists me in keeping up with what is happening across the globe, while I am observing and analysing financial markets myself.
While I am on Twitter, reading a quote here and a news flash there, I offer my own succint insights and commentary. Those amongst you who have already discovered the virtues of a Twitter account can add my Tweets to their daily news via @filapek.
For those who have no intention to join Twitter, but would like to stay up to date, below are my Tweets from the week past:
– Renewed take-over rumours for Foster's? Sooner or later one of these rumours will prove to be the Real McCoy. (sigh) Markets remain weak
– Dilemma In Oz: If US Equities are Now Correcting, Should Oz Follow Suit, Even If Mini-Correction Preceded The US? Copper might show the way
– Currencies are still leading other assets. Trash the USD benefits global risk. Weak economic data in US have thus become a (short term) plus
– Don't look too far for reasons as to why Oz Equities rallied on Tuesday. Weak Q2 data change expectations towards no RBA hike anytime soon
– Investors in OZ are growing increasingly frustrated, and bearish. Results from The Australian Investor Sentiment Survey http://bit.ly/kvAPRc
– Research Insight: the week post Memorial Day (this week) tends to generate positive results for US equities, 2010 no exception. 2011?
