The stock market finished off its big rally week with an extremely compressed trading range on Friday. All the indices were showing this compression. In today’s Weekend Market Analysis video I talk about what this type of action might mean and when was the last time we were this extremely compressed. You might be surprised. Continue reading
The market continued its upward push with the DJIA up another 138 points and all the other indices up also. The SPX has now retraced about 55% of the entire move down from the all-time high in May. In tonight’s Weekday Market Wrap video I look at what our indicators are now telling us. Maybe the bears are about to wake up from their nap. Also tonight I look at 3 trade ideas on AAPL, FB and GILD. Continue reading
The markets continued their push higher today with all the indices up. The DJIA was up 122 points, the SPX was up 16 and the Nasdaq up 42. Some folks are trying to compare this selloff and bottom to that of 2011, but for a wide variety of reasons I don’t think that will play out.
We are at a whole different stage of the game now. And as I discussed weeks ago, some of the indicator readings we got, were not only more severe than 2011, they were as severe as the fall of 2008.

So even though there was a pause in the indices, there was plenty of action. In tonight’s Weekday Market Wrap video I look at what the price action, combined with our indicators, is telling us now. Continue reading
The markets are still extremely volatile as the DJIA was down over 250 points at one point on Friday but closed up 200. A huge whipsaw day…enough to give anyone indigestion. The market was trying to digest the jobs report that was released Friday morning showing less than expected job growth and downward revisions to July and August.
This market has still not demonstrated the type of pessimism at a selloff low that was shown in 2011 much less 2008/2009. I talk about this in today’s Weekend Market Analysis video (below). In addition to our normal key ETFs that I review on the weekend, I add several more sector ETFs to look at a total of 10 broad sectors and 2 more specialized sectors. Continue reading
