Friends What a year it has been. Who thought the pandemic would still be with us at this point? Well, at least we were hoping it wouldn’t. We did get some fiscal spending, but not as much as the President and perhaps the markets were expecting. We got...
Friends Once again we had a very quiet trading session – so quiet that the bulls seem to have disappeared in the last hour of trading. Stocks had drifted mainly in positive territory throughout the trading session, but dipped into the red in the last hour of trading....
Friends Though somewhat tepid, the Santa Claus rally continues as we grow closer to year end. Today we saw some of the ‘boring’ consumer staples, utilities, materials and healthcare names lead the market slightly higher. In addition, we are finally seeing bond yields move back up just a...

Friends It has been quite a roller coaster ride for stocks in December. Today we got a nice rally after yesterday’s selloff to somewhat square things for the week so far. We have pointed out the headwinds that the markets are facing as we finish out the year...
Friends Take your pick. Omicron, hawkish Fed, no more fiscal stimulus (Build Back Better), inflation, valuation- any or all of these could be attributed to the continued weakness in the stock market. Once again stocks were under pressure from the opening bell and remained decisively in negative territory...
Friends The roller coaster ride continues. Today, the Nasdaq fared better than the Dow and the S&P 500, again making it difficult to decide what sectors of the market are poised to do better in the coming weeks and months and which sectors are in danger of losing...
