Here in the northeast, the weather has been fantastic. We have been enjoying our Indian summer and, as the major indices continue to rally in the fourth-quarter, so too have the markets. We did; however, see a minor retreat on the very positive “Jobs Report” in the Friday session. The reports highlights the expansion of […]
We’re back! We apologize to our readers for the great deal of time that has passed since putting out our last letter but are happy to say that we are back in action. If you look at the daily chart of the S&P 500 futures continuation, you will see a large “W” formation. We closed […]
There are two labor problems on the west coast, the Canadian Pacific Railway Engineer and the Dock Workers in California. At the this time in California, cargo vessels are anchored off shore, at last count 14 container ships sit in the harbor waiting to unload their cargo. The waiting time in the harbor is up […]
The recent data release from the bureau of Labor statistics (BLS) on Friday shows that there was no wage growth in the April reporting month. The actual facts are that there has been no upward movement in wages for years, when considering inflation yada yada. Will a minimum wage hike help; we seriously doubt that […]

Leading up to the financial crisis of Lehman Bros….cattle cost an […]
We need to reflect this week on all that was learned during 2013. What did we learn? We learned that government printing presses do eventually affect the upward trajectory of the stock markets, that sell or buy the news works (decisions once made will have an upward bias because it is now a measurable event….known) […]
Okay so how many of you knew that once the S&P 500 approached 1800 that it would take it out? We would be willing to guess that the majority of our readers were of that belief. Any market watcher, worth listening to, would have come to that conclusion. Now that the mission is completed, […]
As to the bull market, remember the trend is your friend, that said, keep your stops tight and don’t be afraid to take profits when presented with that opportunity.
