DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO Management

While the markets awaiting ECB's actions or non-activity and the NFP numbers; the record breaking highs of the S&P have been more important for our out look nearing the 2000 mark levels ever since making a judgement call along with the DJIA above the 16500 has retained its positive breath sentiments contrary to some corrective movements on the way higher.

This will be sustained for now until such time a major contraction would emerge for the US economy. Likewise, it has been sometime that the ISM figures have been showing its growth pace with an ever sluggish jobs growth and leads the US economy huffing & puffing moving forward.

Insight to market expectations: USD EUR GBP

The highlight of Facebook acquiring WhatsApp for 19B has been considered the biggest acquisition ever by the media giant that would place FB in the forefront in messaging directly to its clients. A mild corrective move today can be seen but the overall outlook would still be positive.

As the rest of the pack like Twitter, Google, and Apple has followed through on the higher side of the trading price as of this writing. Having walked through this game changing acquisition strategy was indeed a welcome treat in shifting and diversifying investment funds into stocks half way through 2013 other than the FX market. Obviously this was well planned by FB and has provided a shift of market sentiments for stock valuation to continue its upward momentum. And in spite of the relief recovery that the US Dollar has made coming out from its lower levels of 79.90 basis point for the index while making a considerable daily high @80.23 initially in the early trading session.
