Stock Market Trends are More Reliable than Weather Forecasts

Long-term stock market trends are a great opportunity and change less than the weather
Stock market trends may tell you something about the future. But unlike weather forecasts, stock market trends say more about the coming months and less about tomorrow. They also do not predict exact numbers, like weather forecasts predict the temperature and wind speed for the coming week. But they do provide you with something more useful.

Submitted by Van Beek on March 17, 2011 - 11:49The March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan have a significant impact on the Japanese stock market index (Nikkei) and on the Japanese currency (Yen / JPY).

Will the earthquake in Japan change the long term trend for the Nikkei?
Submitted by Van Beek on March 15, 2011 - 06:33
The earthquake and the subsequent tsunami in Japan are a tremendous disaster. Thousands of people have died and many more lost their loved ones.
My sympathy goes to all victims. There could be even a catastrophe now with the nuclear power plant. But in the financial world there is no such thing as sympathy. It is all about profit and panic.
On March 14, the first trading day after the earthquake, the Nikkei lost 6.2% in value. Today, the 15th, at the moment of writing, the Nikkei has lost another 14%, probably fueled by the news on the nuclear radiation leaks. In one-and-half day, the Nikkei has now thus lost almost 20% of its value.

Submitted by Van Beek on June 9, 2010 - 07:26This chart for the EUR/USD exchange rate and trend shows a 20 year history. Since the Euro exists only for about 10 years we had to make some calculations. You will see later below. 20 years provides a unique historic perspective.
Trends in currency exchange rates are important for investors who invest outside their home currency zone. A foreign stock market index could move up but the currency for that market could devalue compared to your home currency.
