Mid-week market update: My recent sector review was well received, especially when it was framed in the context of how a market cycle rotation works (see In the 3rd inning of a market cycle advance). As I don't have much to update about the technical condition of the stock market, especially in light of the...

A reader asked me today if I knew anything about a forecast of an imminent US Dollar Apocalypse of September 30, 2016. After digging around, I found this article on Daily Reckoning.
