By Jim RickardsPosted September 14, 2021

The relationship between policy factors and capital flows is somewhat circular. Good polices and resulting good growth will act as a magnet for inbound capital. That capital will then finance and power the hope for growth. Using the C.O.B.R.A. system, Jim and Dan recommend a long position in FXB as investors see the UK as the only major developed economy that is trying to manage its budget and the sterling will be rewarded with capital inflows.

By Jim Rickards and Dan AmossPosted January 18, 2022

We are now seeing signs of a weakening U.S. dollar. This weak dollar trend may be boosted by a U.S. economy that will slow from here. As a result, we expect that rates will level off and start declining, along with the U.S. dollar. Using the C.O.B.R.A. system, Jim and Dan recommend a short position in an investment fund that tracks the performance of the U.S. dollar as the best way to play the turning point in the strength of King Dollar.

By Dan AmossPosted July 30, 2021

FXE was a positive reversion trade on July 1. At the time, its 50-day CCI reading was low enough that our system flagged it as oversold. Nearly a month later, the oversold condition has been resolved by a sideways movement, not a strong rally. Despite burning a month of time, we can exit the position now at only a small loss.

By Jim Rickards and Dan AmossPosted June 8, 2022

China’s economic outlook looks bleak with a stupendous mountain of corporate, provincial, and bank debt that is completely unsustainable. Even if that debt does not come crashing down in the near future, it definitely acts as a drag on growth. Using the C.O.B.R.A. system, Jim and Dan revisit a short position in the leading ETF that tracks the performance of major Chinese stocks as the best way to capture profits on an expected drawdown in Chinese equity markets.

Using the C.O.B.R.A. system, Jim and Dan focus on a long position in an ETF tracking Brazilian equities as the best way to profit from Brazil’s current status of benefiting economically from the turmoil of the current war in Ukraine without suffering many of its direct consequences.
