  1. Rebalancing, Pre-holiday reversal, and light volume = ?

    Stocks rallied Thursday, following through on the Wednesday rebound, and the pre-holiday reversal / rebalancing action is playing out the way we talked about in yesterday's commentary. The question is, will we get the the post-holiday resumption of the larger trend? The Dow gained 326-points, with 1% plus gains across the board.

  2. Pre-holiday fake-out, or are the lows in?

    Stocks rallied on more light trading volume led by a jump in the price of oil and energy stocks. The Dow gained 258-points, or 1.0%. The beaten down Russell 2000 small cap index gained 1.15%, but our S-fund (+0.73%) hasn't been keeping up with the Russell as it generally does.

There were couple of attempts, not surprisingly, from the bears to sell the rally, but the bulls won out and the gains got back about 1/3 to 1/2 of Friday's losses, depending on the index. There was a very late ...
  5. Trump tweet spoils early Fed rally

    Stocks opened lower on Friday after China announced more tariffs on the U.S., but the Fed calmed investors at Jackson Hole and we actually saw green by late morning trading. Then came the tweet by President Trump regarding U.S. companies doing business with China, and more on tariffs, as we'll talk about below. It turned into a sell-fest the rest of the day, except for some very late buying just before the bell. By the close the Dow had lost 623-points. Bonds, which ...
