Market Analysis

Coupled with an overbought market, historically the worst month for stocks (September), and an economy that is still mired in a recession, what you have is the recipe for a nasty pullback after one of the best 6 month rallies in market history. With that said, the bulls have by no means thrown in the

Unbelievable! While the market is slow and boring, it is nonetheless interesting to watch these ditzy bulls do everything they can to finish one tick in the green – as if that really means anything in the grand scheme of things.

Jitters are swirling on Wall-Street, and the Bad-News Bears seem to be doing everything they can to cast a shadow of doubt on this market. Over the last two days, the market has responded well to the major sell-off that we saw on Monday. However, the volume has been extremely low on both the DOW

Today was the type of day in the market, that could give you whiplash for sure. There was a lot of strength in the pre-market, followed by a significant sell-off after jobless claims rose, then there was an end of day rally that allowed for the markets to finish solidly in the green today. But

Initially I wanted a position in TNH or a similar high dividend equity since at the time the markets where teetering between the possibility of breaking out, and rallying significantly, or breaking down, and selling off as part of a moderate correction. Either way, I wanted a position that would allow me to participate in

It’s earnings season and you never know what you are going to. INTC saved the market today with well-received second quarter earnings report. As a result the NASDAQ rallied 3.5% and the S&P took 3%. There was a nasty gap up, which I believe will eventually be filled. In fact, had that gap up
