A Skeptical Resolution
There is less than a month left before we close the books on 2013, and this year has been a very good one for the bulls. However, one thing I will caution you on is not to expect the same kind of market year in 2014. Sure, the market may keep rolling unabated to another […]
A Gross Feeling of Guilt
While Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for what we have, it’s also a time to remember that if you earned your money through hard work and determined effort, you should feel proud of your achievement. Unfortunately, today many want you to feel a sense of guilt over what you’ve achieved. This week we […]
A QE Confessional
There was a remarkable mea culpa in Monday’s Wall Street Journal that I encourage you to read. The op-ed, “Andrew Huszar: Confessions of a Quantitative Easer,” was written by the man who was tasked with implementing the policy at the heart of the Fed’s first round of quantitative easing (QE), the purchase of some $1.25 […]
A Roaring ‘20s Redux?
Equities are going straight up next year, and the stock market is reminiscent of the roaring ‘20s. That’s what MarketWatch columnist Paul Farrell wrote in his latest piece, and if you haven’t read it yet, it’s definitely worth a few minutes of your time.

The recent decision by the Federal Reserve to hold off on any “tapering” of its current $85-billion-per-month bond-buying program certainly surprised markets, but there is no denying that the central bank will almost certainly begin to alter monetary policy over the course of the next several months, next year and several years. So, what will […]
Depardieu Defies Despotism
By Jim Woods This week, my friend, colleague and frequent Eagle Daily Investor contributor weighs in on, of all things, a French movie star’s high-profile, anti-tax protest. I suspect that if taxes become this onerous here at home, we are liable to see this type of action by U.S. citizens in the future. […]
The Election, Your Money, Your Future
So, now that we know President Obama will occupy the White House for the next four years, there likely will be a whole lot of anxiety over what’s going to happen to the economy, the markets, the dreaded "fiscal cliff," tax policy, etc. Immediate reaction by the equity markets to the president’s reelection was […]
Looking Four Years into the Future
