Great Earnings
Friends It’s been a fascinating couple of days for big name growth earnings which will culminate in Amazon’s release after the close. Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Apple have all had fantastic earnings, but the share price reactions have been mixed. Apple is the most fascinating to me. They absolutely...
Earnings and The Fed
Friends Well, after the close yesterday both Google and Microsoft released very strong earnings reports. Google shares went up and Microsoft shares went down.

Stocks Slump Despite Earnings

More New Highs
Friends The bulls continue to dominate the action on the field, pushing the market averages higher on what seems like a daily and weekly basis. Some of today’s winners are tied to the incredible housing boom we are seeing across the country. The builders, the materials needed to...
Stocks Push Higher
Friends It was another good day for the market averages, though not every sector participated in the advance. Today’s winners were the big tech names and basically growth in general. The recent favorites- banks, industrials and energy all were sources of funds for traders. But, the rotation that...
Stocks Drift As Earnings Season Begins
Friends It was a mixed trading session today, with the Dow hanging onto small gains while the S&P and the Nasdaq struggled. The big growth winners from last year experienced the most selling pressure today. We saw good earnings from a handful of big banks as Goldman, J P...
