Everything is in interpretation. One great example of this is when Kentucky Fried Chicken started expanding to China in the 1980s. They tried in earnest for a literal translation to Mandarin of their famous slogan: “It’s Finger Lickin’ Good!”, but instead it came out more like “Eat Your Fingers Off!” That doesn’t exactly scream ‘delicious’…unless you’re a cannibal, writes Jason Bodner, editor at Navellier & Associates.

Is this the world’s most important trend that no one is talking about, asks JC Parets of AllStarCharts.com.
Stocks finished flat yesterday...and they’re starting off flat today. Gold and silver are up just a tad, while the dollar and Treasuries are lower. Crude oil is the real show-stealer, however, rising in the early going (again).
Equities are suffering. Most stocks are breaking lower daily. In fact, our data signals the weakest breadth reading in months, states Lucas Downey of Mapsignals.com.
Technology bears stepped up on Friday against all odds, states Jon Markman, editor of Strategic Advantage.
The stock market has been volatile. It’s been moving up or down primarily in reaction to interest rates and the economy. But the technicals remain bullish, and that’s why we still recommend the S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), write Mary Anne and Pamela Aden, editors of The Aden Forecast.
