    Why Syria Matters to the Market

    The week started with a bang overseas. There was a revolution in Syria. President Bashar al-Assad's regime fell to rebel forces. The 50-year reign of the Assad family in Syria has come to an abrupt end. Assad and his family have reportedly fled to Moscow, seeking asylum. This brought an end to the bloody and brutal 13-year Syrian civil war. What's more, Assad's biggest backers have been weakened significantly. Russia and Iran sit at the top of that list. Moscow spent significant fin...

    Wall Street Legend

    Wall Street lost a legend this week. His name was Art Cashin. He was a unique character in so many ways. Art Cashin was the Director of Floor Operations for UBS at the New York Stock Exchange. He started his career at a small brokerage firm, becoming one of the youngest traders to obtain a seat on Wall Street. He later went to Paine Webber a couple decades later. Paine Webber was acquired by UBS. Cashin stayed on board. As the years passed and trading volume moved from human hands to mac...

    The Government & The Market

    The Market has a bit of a love hate relationship with the American government. It always has and probably always will. The Market definitely relishes the stability and safety our government provides but gets easily agitated with overreach and a lack of discipline. There’s definitely been a lot of the latter of late...

    Rally Stalled; What's Next?

    The post-election rally stalled this week. The Dow and S&P erased half of their gains since Election Day. A better-than-expected earnings report from Disney helped cushion the Dow, while the Tech-heavy NAS fared the worst on the week. The Market continues to deal with the fits and starts in the wake of the election. It’s trying to decipher the differences of campaign promises versus actual governing priorities. There have been some cabinet appointments that, shall I say, have raised some ...

    What the Election Means to the Market

    November 5th, 2024. It’s a date that been circled on the calendar since 2023 concluded. The hype is over. It finally came; The consequential American Presidential election. The people mailed in their ballots and headed to the voting booths in size. The mood had been extremely tense, at times vitriolic, with a surplus of nervous energy. That’s pretty much how the Market had been behaving of late. Traders had been anxious about outcomes that could shape Washington’s agenda for years ahead. The ...

    Earnings, Economy & the Election: Another Rapid Rundown

    The Stock Market kept the brakes on. There have been back-to-back weekly decliners, which followed 6 straight weeks of gains. It makes sense with so much going on. This was as big of a week for Market-moving events as I can ever remember in my near 30-year career. There's a ton for the Market to absorb: Earnings. Economic data. Fed Meeting. Global wars. Oil. And oh, yeah, that not-so-small election next week. With that said, here's another rapid rundown...

    Prices & Priceless

    The Stock Market rally took a breather. The streak of 6-weekly gains came to an end. Momentum slowed with election uncertainty, deficit concerns and added pressure on interest rates. Leadership narrowed back to Tech ahead of a massive run of earnings next week. It was rising yields that caused the speedbumps...
