Quality Large-Cap Retail Is Best Portfolio Stocking Stuffer

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:30:24 GMT

Christmas is coming, and that means two sets of flurries are on the horizon – snow and retail news. Now that the aftershocks of the 2008 financial collapse have had time to set in, this year will be a test to see how resilient consumers are in spending for the holidays. Retailers, for their part, have been preparing by slimming down; most are carrying record low levels of inventories to avoid the need for post-rush markdowns.[More...]

Expanding Range Slightly On S&P 500; Next Key Area 1120

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 13:59:13 GMT

We've poked our head a bit higher than the highs of yesterday (S&P 1117) on the opening flood of buy orders; a small positive there. The last 2 sessions have been marked by new highs as the market poked its head out of the box, and then reversals back down - so it would seem unlikely for that to happen 3 days in a row.[More...]

Unemployment Duration Still Rising

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 19:00:00 GMT

While we got some very good news with the employment report today (see "Unemployment Report - WOW!"), there was one part of the report that was very troubling. While it looks like the number of people entering the pool of unemployed is falling, once people are out of work it is extremely difficult for them to find new jobs.[More...]

Forget Yesterday, It's All About Jobs

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 13:21:30 GMT

Good morning. Stocks tanked in the last half-hour on Thursday and while the major news outlets attributed the decline to either profit taking or some trepidation in front of this morning's big Jobs report, we'd like to offer a little more substantial reason for the 85 point dive on an otherwise subdued day of trading.[More...]
