The ECAT Revolution (Update)
We have made a post a few days ago, about a possible correlation between falling oil prices and the advance/progress of a specific new source of energy called “energy catalizer”.
Apparently a well-known russian scientist has now found a way to replicate the same energy device.
But there is more, an article published today by a swedish energy journalist called Mats Lewan, provides a number of charts and data analysis that puts the whole thing in perspective and raises some questions, because it seems plausible that someone has started to bet that oil will not be anymore the primary source of energy for this planet, in the future.
BOX’s Post-IPO Performance
I guess I haven’t quite grasped the multi-billion dollar valuation of what is essentially a very large hard drive which is accessible via the Internet.
Bearish Close to January
On Wednesday 7th January I wrote a post called ‘Suspended Sentence‘ in which I was talking about some statistics I had compiled showing that since 1970 there had been eight instances where SPX had closed down more than 2% in the first three trading days of the year. Of those eight instances the three that closed above that close on the third day all went on to have decent years, but the five that closed below that level all had difficult years, with the two best being effectively flat (up 3% and 1%)on the year, and the other three down 10%, 11% and 39% (2008) on the year respectively. That close was at 2002.61, and the close on Friday was at 1994.99, so SPX is on the bearish track in 2015 on this stat, and that also fits my expectations for the year.
