FYI | Jun 17 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:
– Broader View: ASX200 has moved from upper range 4500-5000 into lower range 4200-4600. Leading stocks BHP and CBA both below 200M/A
– I'll be participating in Afternoon Roundtable today at 3pm on brr.com.au – broadcast first live, then available as replay
– UBS analysis historical PMI-equities correlations: true outperformance for defensive stocks is yet to come. Are investors paying attention?
– I'll be on Sky Business (Lunch Money) between 12-1pm today and then 'Rudi Unplugged' presentations in the evening in Darlinghurst (Sydney)
– GMO: out of equities. Dennis Gartman: maybe new bear market. Dave Rosenberg: 99% convinced US recession in 2012. But today we have a rally
– This really is 2010 revisited: ECRI's Achutlan predicts prolonged US economic slowdown http://t.co/f0bnBoC
– Obligatory reading for every investor in Oz, 'Our Dud Sharemarket' in Weekend AFR, p43-45. Same old themes I have been explaining since 2010
