Mid-term elections and why politics will interfere with stocks

November will host mid-term elections, it looks like Republicans are in trouble. This will directly effect stocks, why? Majority of the media outlets have not been kind when reporting about the economy. We have unemployment below 5%, worker productivity is at all time highs, and GDP growth is […]

Market bounces back on higher volume

We saw the S&P 400 lead the way today up 1.51% with the S&P 600 not far behind up 1.34%. Volume rose across the board however we did not see a follow through on day #5. I still have not changed my stance on the overall market. I will […]

Watch List update

We had a terrible day in the market…my watch list did not fair well…all but 3 were negative territory!  STRL was off by 2.06% and DRIV was off 2.32%.  Overall, not good…this is why we just don’t blindly buy stocks that have great fundamentals.  We need to buy at proper times.  […]

Mr. Market found a reason to slam stocks

WHOA - what a day! All I see is RED! Volume did come in higher than Friday but
its a tough to compare…Friday’s before long weekends tend to come in light on

Day 2

Broad market rally today.  S&P600 led the charge climbing 1.68%.  Volume tailed off dramatically.  A concern for me, however getting back to back 2.million shares is a tough clip to accomplish.  Nonetheless, we didn’t clear out Day 1s lows.  A good sign.  I am a bit worried, we do not have […]
