Market is showing early weakness despite strength in the Asian markets (1%-2% up), however European markets are trading flat with a slight negative bias. No major reports due out this morning, so we could see some profit taking after the markets managed to recover the losses from Thursday and Friday of last week.

Rough week for the bulls last week, and despite the early morning strength we are seeing, no one is overly enthusiastic as they had been for the past seven months.

Hang in there folks – it’s almost Friday. Despite yesterday’s sell-off my portfolio managed to do quite well, racking up gains in 3 of my 4 holdings CMZ, my very speculative play continues to flounder and was able to add more shares to my position at 1.15 to give myself a full position and a

We have the FOMC Statement being released today around 2:15pm EST, where it looks like the Fed will hold interest rates steady.
