Market Mixed After Fed Holds Rates Unchanged: SPX, Nasdaq, AMZN, AAPL, GOOG, RIMM, ADBE

September 21, 2010 – 8:37 pm

As mentioned in my Market Forecast this weekend, "the market may be hesitant ahead of the FOMC meeting on Tuesday."  The market was directionless before the Fed’s decision was announced.  After the Fed announced holding interest rates unchanged and its plan to provide further help if needed, the market still was not able to act [...]

Market Still Consolidating: SPX, Nasdaq, FDX, RIMM, ORCL, GME, AAPL, AMZN, GLD

September 16, 2010 – 3:17 pm

On Tuesday, in my evening article, I said, "We’ll need to see some strength in the energy and mining stocks to push higher.  Otherwise, we may need to take a breather and consolidate." In the past 2 days, energy and mining stocks were still lacking strength, and the broader market still appeared to be consolidating.  [...]

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I forecasted, "For the new week, we’ll look to see if we can continue to get improved economic data, especially the consumer confidence and Chicago PMI on Tuesday to perhaps set the tone.  On Friday, we’ll get the latest payroll numbers and unemployment rate.  VIX actually closed lower last [...]

August 31, 2010 – 7:00 pm

The market was weak at the open, but, managed to bounce back.  However, immediately after the Fed minutes were released, the market suffered a quick drop.  It paddled back up in the last hour to closed flat, flat and mixed.  Techs were on the weak side with semiconductors getting hammered; mining stocks, on the other [...]
