Indexes From Around the World

By -

How many other financial websites are introducing over 57,000 new charts to their site during a holiday weekend? I’d say a whole integer less than “one” is a good guess. Global Indexes are HERE! And they are instantly available to all Silver, Gold, and Diamond members.

As our Cyber Monday Special, we are offering Silver Memberships (giving you instant access to the Global Indexes, as well as all the other benefits of Silver), AT HALF PRICE which you can claim by clicking here. By taking advantage of this sale price, you will lock in an unprecedented 50% off the regular fee, and this ridiculous discount will be in place for life. In short, you are getting a Silver membership for the price of a Bronze, and you never lose the discount.

To get to this data set, go to the Data Panel (left side of SlopeCharts) and click either the right or left arrow at the top to navigate to the panel labeled Globex Indexes. In it you will find a scrollable list of countries from around the world, with the quantity of indexes for each country noted parenthetically after each country name:

Couple Correlations

By -

It took me so long to do Part One and Part Two of my “bad predictions” post, I was just going to call it a day until tomorrow, but I’m prone to self-guilt, so here I am again with a new, quick post (while simultaneously working on an entirely new project for my Diamond members).

As I’m sitting here this evening, the markets are (of course) pushing to new lifetime highs. Since cryptos have been on an absolute tear lately, I was curious how Bitcoin correlated with equities. Here, below, is the SPY with its correlation to $BTC beneath. As you can see, right now they’re about as correlated as they can be, with equities and cryptos cheerfully lurching up together. The curious thing is how the correlation is a relatively smooth sine wave, suggestion that these two are going to part ways again and work their way toward being inversely correlated.
