What If The Price Of Oil Went Up 10% Tomorrow? Then What? Our latest forecasting product is the “What If Scenarios”, a tool to simulate different market conditions. These scenarios are based on our current forecasting algorithms and endeavor to see beyond tomorrow’s actions of major market players. They provide macroeconomic perspectives to monetary policies and market fluctuations. For example, what if tomorrow the oil goes up by 10%, what will be the market forecast then? It is just one example of the immense possibilities we can exploit to make investment decisions. Interest rates, oil prices, currency rates, are in the hands of a few major market influencers, such as governments and oil producers. Assuming different possible actions by these big players, we can forecast the outcome of their actions. Also, the market sentiment can change due to some unexpected event, which affects the major indexes. Our algorithms will assess the current global events and their effects on the market. This will allow you to know which market will react, how strongly it will react and in what direction? Read more.
Recognizing A Stock Market Bubble Before It Bursts Think of a market bubble like a soap bubble, the kind of bubble that kids blow up out on the sidewalks in the summer. As the kid blows, the bubble grows and grows with no indication that it will stop, until it pops. These bubbles are transparent, hard to see without the sunlight glinting off them. Market bubbles are significant growths in the market that are not based on anything substantial. Just like soap bubbles, they can pop with no clear warning and simply dissipate into the wind. Bubbles are created when the price of a stock or of a good increase dramatically without any sound reason. Often the cause is as simple as people getting carried away with what they believe for whatever reason is a sound premise. People hear from their neighbors that something is going to be a huge success and can’t possibly fail, and then a combination of mob psychology, fraud, greed, and government incompetence causes the formation of a bubble that is bound to burst.

Alibaba's Takeover Of Lazada Is A Big Deal--Here's Why Alibaba’s (BABA) $1 billion investment to take control of Lazada is Jack Ma outplaying Bezos in Southeast Asia. There are now 600 million e-commerce customers in Southeast Asia that Alibaba (and not Amazon (AMZN)) can exploit. Lazada is Southeast Asia’s biggest e-commerce operator. Amazon got too busy building its operations in India that it got outplayed by Alibaba in taking control of Lazada. Lazada went big on Southeast Asia e-commerce in 2012 when Alibaba and Amazon kept ignoring it. Decelerating growth in North America and China’s economies means Southeast Asia and India are the next growth opportunities for e-commerce leaders like Alibaba. Amazon is still struggling in India against Flipkart and Snapdeal. Alibaba bought the e-commerce leader in Southeast Asia. It is my fearless forecast that Alibaba/Lazada will prosper in Southeast Asia while Amazon will continue to trail Flipkart in India. With Lazada’s help, Alibaba can dominate Southeast Asia’s internet economy. Alibaba can bring its Tmall/Taobao products and partner vendors to Lazada’s six Southeast Asia websites. Read more.

It is becomingly increasingly common to hear the refrain that there will be jobs in the next 50 years that have never existed before and that we need to start shaping young talent towards being able to handle these positions. It seems the vice chairman of the US stock exchange Nasdaq agrees, stating in a recent report, "I think AI is really going to be the technology behind a lot of these great companies that provide the innovations that will be a new sector we probably don't know about yet". AI is already being used to completely reinvent several industries, and Aust gave the example of self driving cars as one of the sectors which has developed due to the rise of artificial intelligence. We have already highlighted several examples of firms, such as the Man Group, which believe the same application could occur for the finance industry. We firmly believe that as the stock market slowly becomes less and less stable, with new highs being reached every day followed by drastic dips, the way forward will be using AI to spot patterns that we cannot do alone. By using historical data and applying chaos theory in the artificial intelligence algorithms, we can spot common threads and big data patterns which would otherwise not be obvious to the human eye. It's exactly projects such as these which will drive the job market for the coming decades. There is an increasing demand for a change in curriculum and a more versatile approach rather than the traditional skillset. For example, data scientists and artificial intelligence experts are some of the most sought after people in today's market, especially with companies such as Google expending vast amounts of money to poach these workers from other companies. We are currently directly involved in the ongoing transformation and movement and we hope to take our company ahead and forward with the times.
Warmest Regards, Yaron Golgher, Co-Founder and CEO

In recent weeks gold has not seen much movement beyond slight fluctuations in the mid-high $1200’s range. This is contrasted from the previous swings in momentum which took gold from severe lows to breaking psychological barrier highs. Looking back we can attribute much of this movement to the geopolitical tensions which led to gold being used as a financial safeguard. Fortunately, tensions seem to have eased and we are now faced with a much calmer outlook for the gold price movement. This is possible merely the calm before the storm, however. The Federal Reserve is looking to have a third interest rate hike this year, and all indicators are that this will still be happening and is on track for occurring in December. If this happens, we are looking at drastic movement for gold occurring once more. This will happen in response to the dollar movement, since the greenback and the bullion have such a polar and tightly interwoven relationship.
Many analysts believe that this current bounded fluctuation in gold price is only temporary, and that the next few months will see gold possibly have a drop. They believe this because the Fed has declared aggressive approaches to interest rates over the next year and besides the planned one in December they will also have four more in 2018. Combined with what is termed as “a lack of real geopolitical risk”, analysts believe this will elad to lower gold prices over time. Hence, the confusion: as noted last week, there is a set of analysts that also believes that gold will climb back to above $1400 next year. The question then becomes whether gold is currently overvalued or undervalued. Either way, both sides agree that gold will not enjoy its newfound stability for much longer. One way or another, events are such that gold will be affected in the upcoming months. Therefore, investors may want to avoid becoming too reliant on the currently low movement price of around $1270, as this is unlikely to last for much longer.

iPhone X Faces Short Supply For High Demand Problems October 31 |Read More
A little more than a week after the iPhone X launch, reviews have begun to surface for the new smartphone, and they have been good so far. With many complementing it´s advances and stating the new iPhone is a huge leap forward in terms of the technology and components used.
Nevertheless, iPhone seems to have a problem functioning in extreme temperatures (from approximately 2ºC to approximately 35ºC), a fact which may represent a problem with winter fast approaching. Apple acknowledged this problem, stating it will soon release an update for the software, allowing the iPhone to work even at the extreme temperatures.
Despite the few problems it has been presenting, and a small depreciation in its stock prices on Friday, Apple prices are expected to grow significantly in the short and long term. The market is very optimistic about the demand for the new iPhone X and the impact it should have on Apple’s revenue. That coupled with the fact that Apple surprised the estimates for its Q4, should signify a good future for Apple stock.
