Market Update:

Stock futures are higher ahead of Tuesday’s open on the first trading day of 2017.

Gary’s Thoughts: Happy new year to all. Hope you had a great holiday. We are back in the states with serious jet lag but nevertheless, alive and well. We will wait til end of week for bigger report as we want to see how the new year starts out. We walked into new year with some deterioration in markets past couple of weeks but that can be negated quickly if money finds its way into the market to start the year…and that’s exactly what we are getting this morning with a gap to the upside. The worst areas recently have been the big cap growth names like AMZN,GOOGLE,FB,PCLN and others. Will be interesting to see what’s in store. Remember, earnings in three weeks.

The one area that has hardly budged is the financials and to be blunt, unless they start coming in, any damage will be limited.

  • Islamic State Claims New Year’s Massacre at Istanbul Nightclub
    Gary’s Thoughts: We were in Europe New Year’s eve, Security was tight…but the bad guys know the soft targets and exploit them. There is simply no way of stopping these one offs.

    I figured we would get a base, and a boiunce ,but we ran right back up to the top !

    The market ran up with it …?
    And, gold up with it ..?

    Market and gold strength on a dollar rally …. ?
    Humm….
    It is, what it is.

    I heard on TV/Radio, we have a 30 trillion dollar market, supported by a 20 trillion dollar economy.

    Yoda, dear Yoda, , does that mean the market will fall ?….. ?
    Nope, says Yoda, it says that the banks are firmly in control.
    The banks poop , the market rallies.

    Yoda the poet:
    Jew poo makes the market go up.
    Jew poo makes the market go down.
    Jew poo makes the world, go round, and round……
