Friends Wow, what a year. I can’t wait to write about it all in our 1st quarter outlook piece. For today, we’ll just say that the buyers disappeared these last couple of weeks, and stocks limped into year end. After an historic first 5 weeks of the year (and...

Christmas 2016
Our Cares Program kicked off the Christmas season by bringing Santa and Mrs. Claus to the New Danville Master Community and created the “12 Days of Christmas” promotion at the New Danville retail store. The CHJ team joyfully donated toys, gift cards, sporting equipment, apparel and nonperishables to: Interfaith...
Stocks Continue to Slump Into Year End
Friends It appears that Santa is unable to deliver the much anticipated year-end rally that was to propel the Dow past 20,000. Volume has dried up and buyers have all but disappeared. No, there hasn’t been an overwhelming amount of selling (see the light volume) but when there aren’t...
Crawling Toward Year End
Friends I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. The markets continue to be extremely quiet as we head towards the year end. There was virtually no action of any sort today. Trading was light and volatility was nonexistent. On the economic front the consumer confidence number for December was...
Merry Christmas
Friends Yes, the market was open today, but no one seemed to want to participate. Let’s just say that nothing much happened and we’ll be back with you next Tuesday. In the meantime… Merry Christmas from all of us at CHJ. Have a safe a blessed holiday weekend.
Bulls Counting On Santa
Friends The bulls who are trying desperately to claim Dow 20,000 have run into a bit of a roadblock the past few trading sessions. Even the latest revision upward of 3rd quarter GDP couldn’t provide a catalyst. As for today’s action, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 22...
Getting Closer
Friends The bulls continue the charge towards the Dow 20,000 level, and it appears that there should be enough trading sessions left in 2016 to reach their goal. Santa is about to swoop into the proceedings so perhaps he can help push the Dow above that 20,000 mark. For...
The Bulls Continue To Push
Friends The bulls got things back on track today, but an early rally in stocks lost a lot of its steam by the close. Bonds continued to be sold and gold just seems to go down every day. Can the bulls make that push to Dow 20,000 in the...
Fed Disrupts Bull’s Charge
Friends The bulls took a wrong turn on the path to Dow 20,000 today as Janet Yellen and the Fed seem to have messed up their GPS system. Yes, everyone was quite certain that the Fed would raise rates a quarter of a point today, and they did, but...
The Charge To 20,000
Friends Stocks continue to charge towards the 20,000 level on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, as even the bulls are having trouble believing their good fortune. It appears that no one wants to sell anything before year end that would cause a capital gain, given the possibilities that next...
