What more can you say but WOW!? There is no doubt in my mind that this was one of the worst intraday selloffs I have ever seen in my trading life. Now, I am sure I probably have seen one this nasty before. In fact, in all honesty, I know I have. But it hasn’t [...]

Overall, it was a pretty choppy and inconsistent day on Friday, but it was still a good day when we take it and consider that we continue to hold well in the face of all the bad news from the subprime area of the economy. I heard many complain that we did not finish higher [...]

Things got off to a bad start, after the February durable good [...]

It was a day of bad news all around, as rising oil prices, more bad news from the housing market, and a drop in consumer confidence rocked stocks early. After the early morning rock, stocks basically spent the rest of the day boring everyone as all of the action was before the bell. Before the [...]

Stocks kept on bouncing, on Monday, as a flurry of merger and acquisition news and lower oil helped stocks finish higher, despite further bad news from the subprime loan sector. Before the bell, news that DG was being bought out by a private equity group, UNH was buying SIE, and SGP was buying AKZOY hit [...]

It was a choppy day today (no surprise here) as stocks opened flat, then fell, the rallied, and then took a last hour nosedive. When it was over, all indexes ended in the red closing near the LOD, except the MidCap 400 index. There was not much in economic news to move the market. The [...]

Stock market indexes took traders on a wild and crazy wild, on Monday, as stocks gapped lower due to fears out of Asia, the subprime mortgage market, and other various reasons. By the middle of the day stocks managed to make it to the green but were then slammed in the final hour on heavy [...]

A falling dollar to a rising yen and euro and concerns of the subprime mortgage market helped weigh on stocks on Friday. However, after the damage Tuesday and the weak bounce on Wednesday and Thursday, further selling was to be expected. The most disturbing part of Friday’s selloff was the fact that almost all the [...]

Stock indexes gapped lower this morning as CPI data came in higher than expected. The CPI rose .2% as core prices had their biggest jump since June. That along with Fed minutes showing that the Fed is still targeting inflation was enough to send all the indexes lower. However, showing just how strong this market [...]

For the third straight day, stocks fell, despite a couple of big mergers and acquisitions. Even weakness in oil and natural gas could not help the market make headway. The Saudi Arabia oil minister said OPEC may not implement new production cuts at the next meeting. Oil managed a 3.5% drop on that news and [...]
