  1. Looking for some holiday bullishness by the end of the week

    tocks opened lower on Friday but found support near the opening lows and ended up with a modest positive follow-through to Thursday's big reversal day. The returns were mixed however with the C and S-fund posting minor gains while tech and the Nasdaq lagged on some disappointing earnings, but the Dow gained a respectable 124-points.

  5. Investors run for cover

    Stocks were hit hard on Monday and we saw some technical damage done to the charts in the process. The Dow lost 602-points on the day and we saw losses of up to 2% - 3% in many indices. Volume was not too bad for a day that was a holiday with the bond market closed. Once the bond market opens on Tuesday we may either get a conformation of the weakness, or a bounce back since the bond market is the one that usually calls the shots over the stock market.
