Friends Stocks coasted to the finish line today, and 2019 was a great year for investors. In a week or so we’ll put out our piece looking back at 2019 and then looking ahead to 2020. In the meantime, everyone have a safe and happy New Year’s celebration, and...
Friends Stocks finally hit a little bit of a snag. With market participants just trying to get to the finish line, some unexpected sellers showed up to throw up a bit of a road block. For the first time in a while, a little selling wasn’t met with desperate...
Friends It’s going to be really interesting to see if this continues into the new year- likely it will not. What I am speaking of is the Groundhog Day type market action we have seen for a few weeks now. Stocks simply drift for the entire trading session, mainly...
Friends What a difference a year makes. Last Christmas Eve I sat staring at my computer screen while stocks tumbled in historic fashion. That 20% drop we saw in the 4th quarter of 2018 left investors quite shaken and fearful of what was ahead in 2019. Well, as we...
Friends Just as last week, we don’t expect anything earth shattering to happen during this holiday week of trading. Today’s action was similar to last week’s trading with stocks up slightly on very little volatility. Once again, it appears that there are simply a lack of sellers as we...

Friends Stocks continued to grind higher today. With very little in the way of news (other than impeachment, which investors care little about), the path of least resistance continues to be to the upside. No, stocks aren’t cheap at these levels, but sellers are nowhere to be found (no...
Friends Again, not surprisingly, it was another quiet day of trading as we steer this ship towards Christmas and the year end. Other than the impeachment proceedings going on in the House of Representatives (which the market seems to care little about) there really isn’t much market moving news...
Friends Not surprisingly it was another quiet trading session with a slight upward bias. As we have pointed out, other than impeachment and politics, there really isn’t that much more headline news expected before year end. Today’s housing starts and building permits data was strong, as was the jobs...
Friends Stocks continue to carve out new highs after the phase one trade deal was agreed upon last week. Of course, the devil is in the details and enforcement, but for the moment the idea that there will be no new tariffs in the near future has been a...
