    Krampus Krash

    It’s Christmas Eve and there is no Santa Claus rally.  In fact, it is the exact opposite: it’s getting sold off in a HUGE way.  There is a horror movie about the opposite of St. Nick and he’s called Krampus so I’m calling this the Krampus Krash. It is without a doubt the most violent […]

    Capitulation?

    Most of the financial talking heads on television have been looking for a “capitulation” drop in the markets to yield an “all clear” signal.  That has been going on for weeks; however, with today’s FOMC statement many thought that TODAY was the day.  It didn’t happen.

There is always the possibility of a short-term reprieve with news occurring over the weekend, but that didn’t happen to put a bid under the market Monday morning. Stocks plummeted to new lows again. Where may it be headed? February lows […]

    Friday Weakness

    Here we go again – the market is extremely weak going into the Friday close. Remember the end-of-the-week wild rallies? Yeah, good times…but they’re gone.

    Monday Volatility

    Last Friday’s extreme volatility continued into Monday’s trade. The indices were up before the open and then dropped hard, making new lows that breached important levels, like 2600.00 in the S&P 500 and 24,000 in the Dow.  From there, the volatility switched and gained back all of the losses to close with gains. Without new […]

    G20, Part 2

    In today’s video, we discuss the impact of the meeting between the US and China at the G20 summit on the markets.  There was neither a kumbaya moment nor an acrimonious and contentious meeting. The politicians did what they’re best at: They punted or kicked the can down the road.
