How many of you are tired about hearing the same crap over and over again? It must be a slow news day, sometimes I wonder if the mainstream media picks a headline out of a hat randomly and blast the airwaves with it. The market nose dived today, so what did they tell us??? “Greece debt worries drive the market lower!” We’ve known Greece has been in trouble for years now, why didn’t they mention it on Monday, why didn’t it drive the market down yesterday or the day before…. Headlines drive the emotions of investors, thus resulting in emotional trading. Emotional trading is what drives the market, for now the old fashion market based on technical’s doesn’t exist.

Goldman Sachs warning to investors on a “substantial pullback” in oil prices triggered a 3% drop today. Oil prices have risen 33% since mid February due to fears in supplies and production with unrest currently in the Middle East. OPEC reassured the market that they were compensating for any slowdown in productions of other nations in trouble.

Panic selling could take hold and drive prices back to $100 per barrel if prices hold near $106. Investors last week bought contracts at $107-$112. On the other hand prices at the pump continue to rise and are expected to break more records. We continue to support buying energy stocks, especially given the current market. Buy on peoples fears and sell on their optimism.

After devastating double disasters (8.8 Earthquake and Tsunami) the Japanese stock market crashed today as investors absorb the impact to an already weak Japanese economy.

The Nikkei 225 index crashed over 6% as more and more reports came in about the massive damage to the infrastructure. Industrial, manufacturing financial stocks were hammered with investors worried about the amount of recovery time needed. Production has nearly halted with concerns of continued blackouts and aftershocks.

Japan’s central bank pledged 15 trillion yen ($184 billion) to pump the economy and support the reconstruction of the country.

It’s likely the Japanese market will remain bearish this week as investors reassess their holdings. Their will be a lot of bargains, so if you have cash on hand you will be able to pick up some good companies at discounted prices.

Tsunami Warning Issued. http://exclusiveeconomy.com/2011/03/8-8-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-japan-tsunami-warning-issued/ http://exclusiveeconomy.com/2011/03/8-8-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-japan-tsunami-warning-issued/#comments Fri, 11 Mar 2011 07:27:28 +0000 EE-Reporter http://exclusiveeconomy.com/?p=1406 Print

8.8 magnitude earthquake strikes Japan, tsunami warnings issued and developing in the pacific.

“Early Thursday, an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.3 struck off the coast of Honshu. A day earlier, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck off of Honshu, the country’s meteorological agency said. The Wednesday quake lasted as long as three minutes, but did not cause significant damage. It could be felt in Tokyo, 267 miles (429 kilometers) southwest of its epicenter.” CNN

Highly expected that the markets will open significantly lower in the morning. This is a major blow to the Japanese economy, setting them back many years. The cost of the damage will be enormous. Hopefully everyone is ok.

The worlds richest man Lebanese-Mexican Carlos Slim announced he is entering the energy sector. The Grupo Carso consortium (diversified retail, construction, and industrial conglomerate) controlled by Slim purchased a 70% stake in Tabasco Oil Co. LLC, an oil exploration and production company. Tabasco Oil has rights to a field in Columbia.

Oil prices are back in the spot light as the crisis in Libya worsens. Oil shot up $87 a barrel with investors concerned that OPEC production could be affected. Libya exports about 1.0 million barrels a day of crude, if the current situation get worse, oil exports are likely to freeze and the current $87 a barrel could break $100 immediately.

As unrest takes over the middle east it looks appealing to buy oil stocks for the short term!

Check out this figure from VisualizingEconomics comparing Egypt and China growth over the past 200o years. As Egypt enters a new era, the question is, is it too late for Egypt to catch up to China and shrink the gap? Primary revenue for Egypt’s economy comes from agriculture, media, petroleum exports, and tourism. Wages are low, unemployment is high, and there is no middle class.
