"Fundamental" analysis of financial markets follows one simple formula: negative economic data equal a fall in stock prices; positive data equal a rise. And, underneath every mainstream finanical news report, this equation lies. Take, for example, the long-awaited release of the S&P/Case-Shiller Index of US Property Values in 20 major cities.

On the financial playground, long-term bonds are generally the last picked for the winning team -- well behind equities, commodities, high-yield (junk) bonds, even the barely established emerging markets. The reason being: the amount of time it takes to actually reap the fruits of your return. BUT, as a January 5, 2012 CNBC articlereveals, the asset that supposedly nobody loves has outperformed them all.

Get out your dancing shoes, cuz this Wednesday (September 21) the Federal Reserve Bank is widely expected to "do the twist" -- "Operation Twist,"that is. The strategy (named for the Chubby Checker tune), was first introduced in the 1960s as a tried -- and failed -- method of using monetary policy to turn (or twist) the yield curve in a favorable, i.e. economic growth-inducing, direction.
