Friends It was the first day back after the long holiday weekend, but it was also the last trading day for the month of May. Once again, it was somewhat of an uneventful month as the little gains that we had coming into today’s session were mostly erased by...
Friends The rain and flooding is really getting worse out here in The Woodlands, so we are going to close the office a little early today, so that everyone can hopefully get home safely. As for the markets, as of this writing, it has been a quiet day with...
Friends Well Happy 120th Birthday to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. That’s right 120 years ago 12 stocks were combined to create an index that would become the standard bearer for the next century. Sure, today the S&P 500 gives a more accurate account to what is going on...

Friends The bulls were feeling pretty good about themselves during the midday portion of today’s trading session. After a bit of an ugly start to trading, the bulls had turned the tide and driven share prices higher with the Dow sporting a nifty 100 point gain right before 1:00...
Friends Another day, another 200 point move. That’s right, stocks were on the move once again today and after a small early morning rally, the move was decidedly to the downside. Despite good earnings from retailers TJ Maxx and Home Depot, stocks rolled over later in the morning and...
