Market Outlook - Between A Rock And A Hard Place
Price Headley, CFA - at Seeking Alpha - Mon Mar 16, 12:47AM CDT
The third weekly loss in a row has brought the broad market down 2.4% from its recent peak. In the grand scheme of things, it's not much... not even enough to call a full corrective move. Even so, there are glimmers of hope that the selloff has run...

Bill Gross: Going To The Dogs
Bill Gross - Seeking Alpha - Sun Mar 15, 3:53AM CDT
If you were a dog, what kind would you be? I can't say I've thought about it a lot myself, but it is an interesting, possibly introspective question considering the theory that many dog owners pick a breed that looks or perhaps acts like themselves....

(click to enlarge) Friday the euro hit a 12-year low against the dollar. According to my calculation of the PPP value of the euro, it is roughly 10% "undervalued" vis a vis the dollar. That means that Americans traveling to Europe...

Marc Chandler - at Seeking Alpha - Sat Mar 14, 11:26PM CDT

More On The Euro-Dollar Exchange Rate
Bob McTeer - at Seeking Alpha - Sat Mar 14, 1:07PM CDT
Nineteen countries now use the Euro as their currency. Fifty states use the Dollar as their currency. While that comparison is correct, it is a bit misleading for various reasons. U.S. states are more homogeneous than Eurozone countries. Our states...
