A Rare 3rd Down Day For Stocks?
May 24, 2013 By Leave a Comment
The market is currently lower for a 3rd day in a row. Normally that wouldn’t be very surprising, but this year has been anything but normal. Over the last 5 months of trading, there has only been one 3-day losing streak in the S&P 500. Today could be the second occurrence, although its still early [...]
Mr. Willard goes to Washington
May 23, 2013 By Leave a Comment
I spent the last week in Washington, touristing, taking meetings, and talking to everybody rich or poor, powerful or powerless that I met. I discussed geopolitics, bailouts and economics with immigrants from Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Mexico and Italy. I ran into former head of the FDIC, Sheila Bair, whom I’ve interviewed on TV several times, [...]

Markets are lower this morning on some panic selling overseas which weighed on stocks here in the US for a second day.

Many investors were concerned about today’s testimony before Congress by Fed Chairman Bernanke. Most figured his comments about how soon the Fed would end its quantitative easing program would unnerve the market and stocks could be vulnerable to a selloff. But in this market, any news is good news. Bernanke reiterated that the decision to [...]
Gold, silver, and real estate will save you

Gold and silver and stocks and bonds and real estate and cash and checking accounts and money market accounts and taxes and bailouts and crises and terrorism and corruption. I’m sure I left a lot out, but those are some of the topics I’ve been addressing for my subscribers and in Washington while I’m here [...]
Monday Morning Musings

Markets are slightly higher this morning after another rally Friday to record levels. Last Thursday the market started to pull back, and many folks were hoping for at least a little correction. But stocks came roaring back on Friday continuing to frustrate those hoping for a better buying opportunity. There isn’t much in the way [...]
Indicator Update: Are you ready for some Fedspeak?
May 19, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Ready or not, we should expect a week dominated by an even greater focus on Fed policy. There are four reasons: The economic data calendar is very light; Earnings season has ended; Many will be heading for the exits early, anticipating a holiday weekend; and finally Bernanke testifies on the economy before the Congressional Joint [...]
