Back in Business

The financial markets in the US reopened today and the day appears to have gone on without a hitch. With month end and mutual fund end of fiscal year, it would have been chaotic had they not. Luckily, the NYSE and NASDAQ have had an awful lot of time to prepare for a natural disaster; but are you ever REALLY prepared?!?!  Kudos go out to their management teams on getting the system up and running while still dealing with the devastation […]   Read More

Hurricane Update Part II

First and foremost, I hope those of you in harm’s way made it through the storm okay and your lives are beginning to get back to some sense of normalcy. The New York Stock Exchange is scheduled to open at its normal time, 9:30am edt on Wednesday. That’s beyond incredible given the state of devastation in Manhattan, but especially lower Manhattan. I expect the commodities and bond markets to open as usual as well. But I think we all know […]   Read More

Hurricane Update

As you may already know, the financial markets are closed today and are expected to remain closed through Tuesday. The office is officially closed, but I will be shuttling between the office and home as power allows. The best mode to communicate is via email. We have several internet providers and while we expect to have at least one always functional, it can never be guaranteed. If the storm is worse than expected locally we will operate from a satellite location […]   Read More

Are the Bulls Ready to Resume Control?

After Friday’s carnage, the bulls fought off early weakness and pushed stocks to close at their highs around the flat level. Is the decline over? Anything is possible, but I continue to see more downside ahead with all major indices breaking their recent lows. A pre-election low remains in the cards and that would really catch folks off guard!   Read More

25 Years Ago…

I remember calling my parents from college when I heard the stock market had crashed 22.6% in a single day. My father had literally just opened another brokerage firm and even I knew this wouldn’t be good. I remember him telling me that it was the BEST time to open a new firm since they hadn’t brought clients over and built their book up yet.  So not many folks were unhappy! I remember a buddy of mine who traded for a […]   Read More

New Highs Now or More Weakness First?

In the last Street$marts, I opined that the stock market should see at least another new 2012 high this year, but that we were long overdue for a pullback and a 2-8% decline should begin shortly. So far, all we have seen has been a 3% decline and many folks wonder if new highs are next.  I think the healthiest thing would be for stocks to decline below the levels we saw last week and then mount an assault higher.  That […]   Read More
