It’s about time that I share with you all a little secret. The situation in the markets is much worse than you realize. While that may sound like someone who has been crying “wolf” for the past several years, in all honesty, the public has no idea just how dire our present situation has become. […]

When incomes are up and unemployment is low and interest rates are low […]

Further down, a cut through here will open the door for a move lower towards the 1,320.00 level. Below here if seen could […]

AAPL Sends The Nasdaq Lower
Apple Sells Off The stock market ended Friday mixed as the Nasdaq was the biggest sore spot, falling 0.59%. As I highlighted in previous articles, Apple (AAPL) usually falls right before the unveiling of its new phone. The 1.63% decline on Friday added to the Nasdaq’s woes. The stock is now down 3.30% off its […]
