Shares of Dangdang ($DANG) are making a big move this month with a triangle breakout on expanding volume. First, notice how the stock surged from ~4 to ~12. Second, the triangle consolidation worked off overbought conditions. Third, the high volume breakout signals a continuation of this advance.

In general, the price action in recent weeks has been characterized by weaker equities, firmer core bonds, heavy emerging markets and a firmer yen and US dollar. Our technical analysis suggests that that phase has ended and a new one has begun.Many investors had been looking for a correction as new opportunity to increase exposures. They were chopping at the bit, so to speak, to jump back in. It appears they began to do so in the second half of last week.The euro’s recovery was impressive, not so much because of the magnitude of the move, but rather that it gained at all given the events. The ECB did change policy, which many had expected, but clearly the door is open to action in a …

It would appear that the government, via its mortgage-financing subs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, is providing yet another $50 to $100 million fillip to banks – but this time at the expense of their ignorance. As Reuters reports, the FBI is investigating “unsophisticated tradecraft,” such as hand signals and special telephone ring tones, that some traders are conspiring to rig rates on large orders submitted by the GSEs – front running them in the interest rate swaps market. Of course, no one is surprised at yet another manipulation or malfeasance but the ‘high-level-employee’ whistleblower’s exposure is perhaps not surprising since the size of ‘hedging’ orders from the mortgage-managers provides an incentive for front-running ahead of the trades – “GSEs frequently submit large interest-…

Margin Call Via Dave Lutz, head of ETF trading and strategy at Stifel Nicolaus, here’s a quick rundown of what he’s talking about with clients today: Good Morning! Futures are lower, as global equities seemed to take a whack around 5 AM ET on better-than-expected EU data, oddly met by a surge in the yen against the euro. E-minis are off 15 basis points, but AAPL has a bid on China headlines, helping Nasdaq futures to slightly outperform. Over in Europe, despite strong German data, the DAX is under slight pressure, but the EU financials remain on their upward tear, adding another 1% (EU Fin Index up 5% in 2014). Volumes across Europe are heavy, with major markets trading 50-80% higher than their 20-day averages. Over …

L’acquisto di uno SmartPhone rappresenta sempre un momento particolare…AJAXAjax is the acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML and is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous web applications. With Ajax, web applications can send data to, and retrieve data from, a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. Data can be retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest object. Despite the name, the use of XML is not required (JSON is often used instead), and the requests do not need to be asynchronous. AJAX is not a new programming language, but a new way to use existing standards. AJAX is the right way of exchanging data with a server, and updating parts …
