The S&P 500 Hasn’t Reached Escape Velocity Yet
A week has passed since our last Alert, and there really hasn’t been much of a change in what has been the dominant factor in the markets — and that is the fiscal cliff. By now, you are probably sick of the whole fiscal cliff thing. I know I certainly am. But despite the […]
Concentrate on the Fiscal Cliff and Miss the Real Danger
The markets have been obsessed with fiscal-cliff worries ever since the election. While I understand why the resolution of this potential $600 billion erasure from 2013 GDP is rightly a giant concern, it’s by no means the only thing markets need to be fearful of right now. In fact, the recent myopia over […]
Of Fiscal Cliffs and European Protests
Now that the election is over, the markets decided to extricate themselves from the tunnel vision about who will run the government, and widen their sights to see what threats our money faces next. Well, it didn’t take too long to figure out that the number one issue facing the markets is the “fiscal […]
The Presidential Election Aftermath
The people have spoken, and it is going to be four more years for President Obama. The Congress remains divided, with Democrats in control of the Senate and Republicans in control of the House. As we’ve seen in today’s trading, the markets don’t seem too pleased with the outcome of last night’s vote. […]

It’s been a rough go of it for the entire country over the past several days, and though the worst of “Superstorm Sandy” is over for most, the cleanup and restoration of the damage is just beginning. I first want to extend all of my wishes to the victims of this devastating tragedy, and […]

The Tech Tempest in the Teapot
Over the past couple of trading days, there have been a lot of fireworks in the equity markets. There also have been a lot of fireworks on the political front, as last night’s presidential debate was replete with head-to-head, and extremely aggressive, action by both combatants. We now are less than three weeks away […]
How to Cope with Slower Global Growth
The global economy is slowing. That’s according to the latest report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The IMF cut its global growth forecast for 2012 to 3.3% from 3.5%. It also said that global growth was likely to continue slowing in 2013. Well, I doubt that this news is any revelation to anyone […]
All Eyes on the Election, Earnings
The market still is digesting two of the biggest developments of the year, the European Central Bank’s (ECB) rescue plan for ailing EU nations, and the Federal Reserve’s pledge of “QE Forever,” an attempt to try and stimulate job growth, keep mortgage rates down and thus juice up the economy. This central bank-dependent milieu for […]

Stocks sold off sharply in Tuesday’s trading session, with the Dow sinking more than 100 points. The decline was the single-biggest, one-day slide since late June.
