A Look At The Condition Of Prices That Will Absorb The Greek Referendum Results
Marc Chandler - at Seeking Alpha - Sat Jul 04, 12:59PM CDT
It is difficult to make much sense of the short-term price action in the foreign exchange market spurred by this or that headline about Greece. On the week, the euro lost about 0.6% against the dollar but outperformed the other major currencies save...

James Picerno - Seeking Alpha - Wed Jul 01, 2:16AM CDT

Bond Market Volatility - Yawn
Brian Romanchuk - at Seeking Alpha - Mon Jun 08, 3:54AM CDT
Recent bond market moves have triggered some rather excited commentary. Central banks allegedly have pumped up a bubble that will cause the financial markets to explode in some amazing fashion. The reality is a lot more sedate - the bond market is...
