The Fed’s Hawkish Surprise
The Fed threw the market a curveball this week, as the release of the April Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes revealed that Janet Yellen and company are indeed willing to hike interest rates again at their next meeting. That meeting is in June, with another meeting scheduled for July. But could the Fed […]

Look Out for the Market Headwinds
Stocks appear to be at a crossroads. During the past two weeks, we’ve seen a slide in the major indices that’s sent several key segments back below the 200-day moving average. While the S&P 500 remains above its long-term trend line, both the NASDAQ Composite and Russell 2000 now have fallen through their respective long-term […]
Lessons from a Prince
The still-stinging death of pop music icon Prince has made the world a sadder place. The singer/songwriter, master guitarist, actor and bonafide musical genius touched millions of people with his life’s work. Unfortunately, Prince won’t have a say in what happens to the fruit of his life’s work now that he has passed. Why? Because […]
The Emerging Market Bull Rages On
Emerging markets are in a bull market. That’s not something we’ve been able to say for much of the past several years.

It is my contention that gold is not just simply immersed in a bull market, but I think there are great reasons to believe that this golden bull will keep running for some […]
Now That Was One Swinging Quarter
If you were to look at the performance data for Q1 on the major U.S. equity averages, you might think it was a typically slow and quiet period for stocks. Well, if you thought that, you’d be dead wrong. The first quarter of 2016 was anything but slow and quiet. In fact, the markets went […]

Just when you thought that the Fed had embraced a new dovish demeanor, the hawks come out of hiding and swoop down on stocks, oil and gold. I am referring here to the bizarre turnaround in so-called “Fed speak” that we’ve seen this week, as four Fed officials came out to say that the April […]
It’s All About the 200-Day
In last Friday’s Weekly ETF Report, we told you that the S&P 500 Index had just breached the all-important 200-day moving average. That is usually a very bullish pivot point for stocks, and that’s exactly what we witnessed this week. The chart here of the S&P 500 SPDR (SPY), the ETF pegged to the benchmark […]
