The market started with a huge gap-up open and charged higher, as investors cheered the government bailout of FNM and FRE. But, quickly after the first 15-minutes of trading, things started to lose momentum. The commodities were still very weak. Coals, metals and fertilizers all went even lower today. Techs also […]
The market started out weak today, pressured by earnings from AAPL, TXN, and AXP. But, after the gap-down open, the market climbed all day and accelerated upwards into the close. AAPL traded down nearly $20 in the morning, and ended down only $4.27 at $162.02. One of our brilliant members, Makemoney, jumped […]
The market started day well, especially the mining sector, gapping up on AA’s earnings report late yesterday. But, soon after lunch, things started to turn and VIX started to go up again, as I commented on the member board:

The Fed slashed the interest rate by another 3/4 point! The market was already up in the morning on better-than-expected earnings from GS and LEH. After the Fed’s rate cut announcement, the market pole-vaulted to its biggest one-day gain since 2002 (even though, just yesterday, the market was still hanging up-side-down)!
Many of our […]

The market spent its time today letting off some steam. It held up well, with techs being a little weaker. This weekend, in my Market Forecast, I said,

That was a nice way to start the week, the month, and the new quarter!! In my Market Forecast this weekend, I said, “The overall market situation is perhaps better than I had thought. The sideways-trading this week has allowed the market to vent without losing any altitude, and in fact, it gained a […]
