Market Artistry: Making Something Hard Look Soft
As you can tell, I am a big fan of Tom Joyce’s work! Volatility poked its head out for one day, only to return to complacency. Yet, is that the end of volatility’s King for a Day? Artistry, as mastered by Mr. Joyce, is when you can sculpt steel into what looks like soft […]
E Market Briefing For Friday, Oct. 27
Synergies matter in so many ways. Whether it’s politicians putting aside, at least for the moment, their differences to narrowly pass a far larger and a bit distasteful larger debt-encumbering Budget, which however better clears the path toward passage of a tax-reform BIll; or whether it’s two ‘colleagues’ in an advanced technology area that ‘may’ […]
In Fed We Trust
At this point, does anyone believe the Fed is willing to do anything that might really spook markets? During the 1990s, back in the days of “Maestro” Alan Greenspan, it was widely believed that investors should pay careful attention to every word uttered by Fed chairment for clues as to where Fed policy was headed […]
The Straw Man
Increasingly, anyone with a bearish opinion about markets or really, anyone who even ventures to suggest that perhaps buying at any price is a bad idea, is being castigated for what the punditry is characterizing as a nefarious attempt to grab headlines by predicting an imminent collapse. That’s a straw man – plain and simple. […]
Financial Conditions The Loosest Since 1993
In keeping with the great reports elsewhere, the Markit Flash PMI showed economic strength. Private sector growth reached a 9 month high in October mainly because of the improvement in manufacturing. The composite output index was 55.7 which was an improvement from last month’s report of 54.8. The services index improved from 55.3 to 55.9 […]

‘All Drugged Up And Nowhere To Go’ – S&P Flatlines As Bond Yields, Dollar Surge
Hmmmm…Wall of worry indeed.. Video length: 00:01:27 Chaotic flip-flopping headlines hit Spanish stocks today (and continued after the close)… While Trannies had a big day, S&P and Nasdaq were very quiet… And even as VIX rallied, S&P Futs flatlined… The decoupling continues between The Dow and Dow VIX (and is very clear from the chart, […]
No Change On The Day
The real action was yesterday, today wasn’t one to write anything home about. There was some gap moves at the open but they didn’t change the picture by end-of-day. The best you could probably draw from today was the inside day in the Dow Jones Industrial average; trade a break of today’s high/low with a […]
