Volatility or Inflection Point

This past week the major indices were down more than 5%. What does this mean. Does it mean we are in for a downturn in the financial markets? Or is it just volatility meaning there is no substance behind the selling?

My model indicates we are just seeing volatility. The next several weeks will determine if we are correct.

The Holy Land

The BRIC markets have made headlines in the last several years as the markets to invest in. How about now? Are the BRIC markets still the markets to beat? My quantitative model says that Israel is the market to be bullish on over the next year or two.

China

Well my index spoke loud and clear about China. Weeks well before China announced contractionary measures my index was signaling bearish sentiment on China. See post from December. More to come on China.
