Weekly Outlook

Wall St. Week Ahead by Reuters.
Stocks to Watch Monday by MarketWatch.
Weekly Calendar by TradeTheNews.com.

BOTTOM LINE: I expect US stocks to finish the week mixed as profit-taking, China bubble worries and higher long-term rates offset diminishing financial sector pessimism, declining US economic fear and technical buying. My trading indicators are giving mostly bullish signals and the Portfolio is 100% net long heading into the week.

Dear Gary,


I couldn't find an email address so I thought I would write to you in a comment. I am a co-founder of HiddenLevers (www.hiddenlevers.com)- a site focused on macroeconomic risk analysis and research for individual investors.

We help investors answer questions like, "What happens to my portfolio if Greece really does default on its debt?" or "What if there is another oil
spike?" HiddenLevers provides Scenario Analysis to help investors model these events, and a Macro Risk Stock Screener to help investors find stocks and etfs to profit from different trends.

It appears your purpose is to give us a good place to find portfolio managers commentary and talk about big picture trends. I was wondering how traders can incorporate that commentary on the macro picture into actual stock picking. Since there are currently no tools to help small investors assess and profit from macro risk, I thought you might be interested in taking a look at what we're building. We're early stage, and just looking for an honest review. And if you feel that HiddenLevers might benefit your readers, we would love to discuss it further.


Best,


Raj

Gary,
Thoughts on impact of the Chinese loan guarantee withdrawal? I'm thinking the ripples runs global.

I will take a look Raj. Thanks.

I think it is just another red flag among many over there Dave. Right now, in my opinion, China bulls are focused on the wrong things and thus ignoring these warning signs. Longer-term, I think China has serious problems.
