“Fed keeps December hike in play!” “Fed hints December hike is in play after all!” “Officials stand pat on the rates but tone down global market worries!” After months and months of teasing, amazingly pundits are still taking the bait that the Fed is going to raise rates. How many more times will they fall…
A few thoughts: Before the market topped out, the average stock was heading south before the indices. It is early but already “feeling” a little of that right now. Seeing and feeling the “nifty-fifty market we experienced before the top. Google and Amazon both had strong gaps that were sold into on Friday but bought…

“THE GRM (GOVERNMENT RUN MARKETS) WORKING OVERTIME AGAIN” By Gary Kaltbaum garyk.com @GaryKaltbaum Fox News Business Contributor We will be repeating a lot of this in our award-winning weekend report.

As we write this, Valeant Pharmaceuticals (VRX) has dropped from $264 down to a current price of $88 and change in just two months. There has been issues with this company in the last few weeks as a few are accusing them of accounting chicanery as well as other things. In another chapter of our…
We will stay quiet this morning except to say WATCH THEM EARNINGS. CMG down $55 but BIIB up $18. It is earnings roulette….which means sit back and react to the reactions. And more days like this morning and there soon will be 5 semiconductor companies left as everyone being bought. When you cannot grow, you…
Intraday selloffs only to be bought up…indices closing on the highs…crappy earnings being bought. SO FAR, this is what we have been seeing off the lows. There has been a persistent lack of selling in spite of markets being overbought and stretched to the upside on a near-term basis. Leadership is expanding a wee bit…
Due to loads of travel, we are going to keep this short and have a bigger report tomorrow. When we call a low for the market, we never know what’s gonna come of it. We just ride it until it says otherwise. So far, it has not said otherwise. We called a low because the market…
While the markets are driving people up the wall and with the Jell-O moving all over the plate there a couple of things that are starting to stick out like a sore thumb. What makes it more interesting is not many people are talking about it. We think you are about to start hearing that…
