So the Prez is having a three day meeting on terrorism. But it has turned into nothing more than “why would they do such things?” We are sure we do not know of the meetings behind closed doors on what to do about the ever-growing Isis and their ever-growing list of death. We are somewhat…
2 Fridays ago, we told you we thought that bonds and the interest rate sensitive areas as well as gold and gold stocks should be avoided for now. We simply saw high volume drops from the highs or near the highs. Since, we have seen nothing but downside. At this juncture, bonds, utilities, reits and…
Full market report tonight but first Greece! We love Greece. We have visited a few times. Some of the most beautiful places on the globe can be found there. Santorini, Mykonos, Corfu are bucket list places to visit but there is a lot of crap going on there and it is all about the bucks….
Major indices have either edged above breakout levels or are about to from 11 week trading ranges. If successful and all evidence so far looks good, do not argue.

Just a short note this morning: Despite the 50-50 market. Despite the many areas that are not working. Despite not having a bear market since the big flood of 42. Despite nary a good correction…despite all of this, major indices continue to be range-bound. There is an old motto…if they can’t sell them off, they…
Support held Monday morning at the lower end of the trading range leading to another jack to the upper end of the trading range. The swiftness tells you how paper thin the trading is…both ways. But we think the market hit a near term high at resistance on Friday…which probably leads to some more pulling…
A lot to digest this week as underneath the surface, a lot of jello moving on the plate…and it is not in a good way. While the major indices are at or near recent highs: The small caps continue to woefully underperform. This theme has been going on for months. Bearish action can be found…
