Market Matters Radio - Web Interviews

This week Lou has the charts out and takes us through Gold, U$D, oil and how the HUI is doing. The word that Lou applies to this week would be "worried". The Iranian hostage drama and also the surprise American announcement of some new trade sanctions, threw the FOREX traders into a tizzy, to close off a crazy week.

Charts of the Week

This week has been pretty harsh for FOREX traders. Jack talks about the amazing whipsaws in the U$D valuations, hinging on the new Trade Sanctions announced by the US, and also some stronger than expected economic data. I have designed a new cocktail for Currency traders- it's called " THE FOREX" - equal parts RED BULL and MAALOX!

This week Sean talks about Uranium's upward trajectory. Would you believe that $100.00 a pound of Uranium is NOT the end of the story? Listen and hear some of the numbers that Sean has been working on, and what his take is on what has been happening with Gold and Silver.

This week Mish has some very ominous words for anyone thinking it is a good time to buy that new home.

Know the commercial with the "Easy" botton?

Mish has changed it to the "Hard" Button.

Lou talks about the forces that are running the sentiment in the markets, and it all starts with the subprime debacle in the States. Hear what Lou is doing to get top performance from his portfolio. Interesting times, and interesting commentary from Lou.

This week Jack discusses the FOMC minutes and whether the FED is still up for the battle against Inflation. The Aussie Dollar has been rallying, and yet the Loonie has been languishing - so what's going on? Jack also targets the US Housing Market and the economy in general.

This week Mish takes on a noted American economist over the root causes of the current "Subprime Market" debacle. Does Mish lay the blame at the feet of the Fed, the Government, or maybe on lending paractices? Mish always surprises.

Congratulations to Mish on the launching of Agora Financial's SURVIVAL REPORT - avaliable at www.agorafinacial.com starting April 2nd!

This week Lou is back, after recovering from the flu. Looks like the Subprime Mortgage Market in the United States has MORE than just the flu. Lou discusses expected impact of this problem, and scenarios that can be expected, should the 'contagion' spread.

Jack has been speaking in Phoenix this week, and watching the unfolding Market malaise with some concern. There is never any sure thing in Investing, and lately Jack has been warning that we have to be very vigilant, and keep on top of many fast moving stories. What is the expected impact if these markets are doing more than just 'correcting'? Will the Fed LOWER rates to try and keep the economy of the United States from sputtering into a full blown Recession.You know Jack is getting very serious when this weeks Economics quote is from that noted Economist - Homer Simpson.

The selling in Asian Markets has been brutal overnight, and it has been a choppy day on the rest of the World's Markets. Sean Brodrick talks about 'keeping your head above the waves".

This week 'Mish' has some cautionary words about what is unfolding in the United States economy. Mish uses the 'R' word frequently, and points to what is happening in the implosion in the sub-prime lending market, and how the problems are starting to spread. Mish also has some ideas on HOW to protect your family, if the economy starts to slow dramatically.

Jack Crooks is the head of the Crooks Currency Group and is the Director of Currency Services for the Sovereign Society. This week Jack talks about the roiling in the Japanese Yen ' carry trade', RISK assessment, and trading in FOREX as well. Jack will be with us - every Friday, and if you have any questions - drop into our front page, and Investors Corner....and maybe Jack will answer your Currency related question next Friday!

The second edition of our Mondays with Mish kicks off with an update on current World Market turmoil. What's causing the downdraft? Is it all CHINA - or are there forces working that are closer to home? Fascinating stuff from one of America's brightest writers and commentators.

The first in our series with Financial Analyst and licensed Investment advisor, Michael 'Mish' Shedlock. Mish will be talking Macroeconomics and commenting on Equities, Risk, and tracking Real Estate and much more.

Reduced expectations for 2007?
Lou ask's the question : With the latest 'correction' - should we reduce expectations for 2007? Besides crude oil, just about everything else got clipped this week. Even gold failed to provide a safe haven. What gives?

This podcast will be on MarketMattersradio.com EVERY Friday, posted after Market Close, to update you on the events that affected the Markets for the past five days.

Every week Lou will also post a PDF file Called "Lou's Charts" that will be referred to during the podcast.
