How To Position Yourself in Today's Environment

Every time there is a bad headline,there is a sudden collapse and then a quiet rebound,points out Nicola Marinelli,portfolio manager at Sturgeon Capital.The underlying trend is still quite strong,and I think it will continue the rest of the year.*
In 2015,Europe as a whole will disappoint in employment and growth.Geopolitical risk is a bit underpriced now.The Fed balance sheet has the potential to cause a technical crisis.If we think rates are going to go up,we are going to see a wave of redemptions in a market that is less structured to be liquid than years ago.*
Take profit on your positions that are liquid,and position yourself for next year in this better liquidity environment,Mr.Marinelli advised.*
To me,it looks very,very ominous,said military analyst Colonel Cedric Leighton,US Air Force Retired,former director of training at the National Security Agency.Russia is feeling itself like a cornered cat,trying to keep up the high level of public support within Russia.Putin knows that sanctions will potentially mitigate this support.
I think a Russian invasion of Eastern Ukraine is likely within the next two months.It might be a subtle invasion,but he will move in quickly,and move in by surprise,Colonel Leighton predicted.
