FYI | Jul 08 2011
By Rudi Filapek-Vandyck, Editor FNArena
I 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:
– A few things to consider in the trend towards more consumer purchases over the internet and via mobile phones http://t.co/2aypguh
– Life beats imagination. Freakonomics reports strong correlation between pay checks and deaths. http://t.co/lsUgbzm
– BAML's latest update on Oz Banks: 'comfortable can hold dividend payout ratios' and 'banks can manage a dip in middle-market asset quality'
– China does have a lot of debt and the world is finally catching up on this. But the next Greece? Unlikely http://t.co/3CiMzVl
– It's happening behind more sovereign debt questions in Europe: confidence is growing global growth is making a turn towards re-accelaration
– Dangerous words, but they might be accurate in the case of uranium's prospects today: this time it's different… http://t.co/TRVcxlB
– More hope for equities: Citi's Euphoria/Panic Model has generated a Buy signal. Historically relatively trustworthy for gains ahead (12m)
– RBA on hold indefinitely? Weak data in Oz add further proof economy is weaker than expected. Weaker trend job ads also suggests RBA on hold
– If history repeats… Friday's US Manufacturing ISM has turned the underlying story for US equities into a positive one. China, India not so
