Not Another Rebuild! Europe's Markets are a Dunk Contest of Uncertainty

Germany's Got Game (But France Needs a Timeout)

Alright let's dissect this Euro game. Germany's DAX is up showing some hustle but the French CAC 40? Down 0.43%. That's like missing a wide open layup in the Finals. You gotta execute folks! You think I ever let a little pressure get to me? Never. Gotta stay focused like I told Scottie 'Just give me the ball.' And I’ll score.

Erste Group's Polish Power Play: Like Stealing the Ball From a Rookie

Santander's handing over a chunk of their Polish bank to Erste Group? That's a business move right there. Erste Group shares jumped 6.2%. It’s like when I saw potential in a young player gave 'em a little guidance and next thing you know… BOOM! They're hitting game winners or at least making some decent money. Although they’ll never be me. No one ever will.

Inflation at Zero? Switzerland Plays Defense!

Swiss inflation at zero? That's some serious defense right there. Like the Pistons 'Jordan Rules' days only this time it seems to be working in the right direction. But you can't win a championship just playing D. You gotta score too! But for real that's lower than expected which in business is like getting away with a travel.

Earnings Season: Time to Show Me the Money!

Novo Nordisk BMW Maersk Commerzbank… these big boys are about to drop their earnings reports. Time to see who's been putting in the work and who's been slacking. I always delivered when it mattered most. These companies need to do the same. Remember talent wins games but teamwork and intelligence win championships! Unless you have MJ on your team.

Central Banks on the Clock: Tick Tock Goes the Interest Rates

Sweden's Riskbank Norway's Norges Bank and the Bank of England all making interest rate decisions? Sounds like a high stakes poker game to me. Everyone's bluffing trying to read each other’s tells. But let me tell you no one can read me! I always had a poker face even when I knew I was about to drain the game winning shot. You know like I told Charles Barkley that one time..

Aussie Blues and U.S. Futures: The End Game

Australian stocks are down after their PM's victory? Tough break. And U.S. stock futures are lower after a winning streak. It's a long season folks. You win some you lose some. But the key is to learn from your mistakes and come back stronger. Like when the Pistons beat us in '89 and '90? We didn't whine about it. We went back to work got stronger and then? Championship! Six of them!
