Market Condition: Rally continues with some profit taking. ↑

General Market Outlook: The market’s rally continues despite having an ever so slightly down week across the board. After having a five week winning streak, the market slightly pulled in, the NASDAQ is leading  the market, it was down 0.1% for the week,  the S&P 500 was down 0.2% as it still struggles with the 1350 area, the DOW was down 0.5% for the week. Friday’s sell-off came in lesser volume indicating that institutional selling was not taking place.

January 30th, 2012 by George Tkaczuk

Market Condition: Uptrend continues ↑

This edition looks at TSCO, CLR

General Market Outlook: The market is in a continued uptrend.   The markets got a boost from the Federal Reserve delivering the message that rates will not be increased until 2014. Markets celebrated as did gold and silver. Last week the NASDAQ rose 1.1%, the S&P 500 inched up 0.1 %, and the DOW slipped 0.5 %.  Earnings season continues, as European news leans on the markets.

In the Know 1/17/12

January 17th, 2012 by George Tkaczuk

General Market Outlook: Last week the market continued to move higher despite continued negative news out of Europe. The S&P 500 rose 0.9%, the Nasdaq rose 1.4% the Dow rose 0.5%. There appears to be a change in tone, the last two weeks the market has been to be able to shrug off bad news and move higher. It appears that signs of institutional selling have abated and there appears to be more institutional appetite for stocks. Still one should remain vigilant since last Friday we saw a 0.5% loss on the S&P 500 which came in on higher volume than the day before, thus adding another distribution day. Despite Friday’s negative close, once again we saw the market was able to come off the lows and move higher coming into the close.

Cash is a Position

August 8th, 2011 by George Tkaczuk

So late Friday night we learned what the market knew and what we did not. United States Debt was downgraded to AA+ by S&P. However, although we did not know this we knew from reading what the market was telling us – cash is a position. When the market starts to falter as it started to correct two weeks ago we were raising cash. Don’t wait for the announcement – go into cash. Gold and silver were acting as safe havens, but silver also started to be sold perhaps on just massive market liquidation. (more…)

Can’t Put a Finger on Gold?

July 30th, 2011 by Michael Cavanaugh

Gold 1,000

Have you been watching gold continue higher, and asked yourself when do I get into a long position? Have you been asking that since Gold was around 1000? I know a lot of people who have. This is a mental debate whenever anything increases in value in this type of manner. The debate is as follows: “I know gold has gone up a lot, but I know the second that I get into it, it will surely go down”. This happens around every 100 points. So, with gold just passing the 1600 mark, it seems timely to address an investment strategy that gets you in, while still applying sound risk management. (more…)

Deal Or No Deal

July 22nd, 2011 by Mike Tosaw

It may be a popular show hosted by Howie Mandel, but in this context we are talking about the ongoing debate about the debt ceiling and what effects it may have on the economy. There is a lot of talk right now about the debt ceiling. As the markets continue to show uncertainty in each move up and down, the market actually showed characteristics of a Howie Mandel-esque market. First, a press release comes out saying there is a deal. Then, a few minutes later, there is another announcement saying there is no deal. It was a nice move for a day trader (assuming they were on the right side of it). (more…)
