FYI | Jun 10 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:
– Equities bounce or bottom? Financials well oversold. Banks in Oz on 2008 PEs. Valuation support would be but logical. Sentiment still shaky
– Rumours confirmed: I did put on an alien suit for my presentation at the ASX – Stocks that consistently beat market – http://bit.ly/mzjvDl
– Under the radar for most market experts: REITs outperforming in Oz equities market – observe solid action for GMG, IOF, CDI, DXS, CPA etc
– SocGen rings the alarm bells: China going to pay dearly for suppressing inflation and interest rates for too long – http://bit.ly/lq5WwP
– The FT finally sees the light: Historically there is no correlation between stock markets and countries' real gross domestic product growth
– Australia has entered Citi's Top Five of most attractive equity markets worldwide, supported by HIGH DIVIDEND YIELDS. Canada is now Bottom 5
– AUD/USD caught in a trading range, say FX experts at NAB. Upside limited at 1.0890, downside support at 1.0650. In between support at 1.0775
