Sellers Flood The Market, Driving ARMS Index and VIX Higher

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 15:37:00 GMT

Selling pressure at the open is dwarfing buy orders by a huge margin. The retails sales report came in weaker than expected, and renewed concerns about banks are the main culprits for the weakness. In early trading, the ARMS Index (which measures selling pressure) hit an extreme level of 4.40. Downside volume on the NYSE hit 98%, and the volatility index (VIX) spiked +18% to 51 as fear has resurfaces for the time being. The last time we saw readings this high, the Dow was down some 600 points, so I guess the fact that it is down -250 now could be seen as a slight positive. December retail sales dropped -2.7% month/month, which was more than the -1.2% economists were looking for. This reflects the sharp pullback by consumers in the current environment, as well as higher unemployment levels seen recently. [More...]

Stocks Give Up Yesterday's Gains - Closing Market Commentary

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:11:00 GMT

It was a brutal day for stocks as the euphoria from the Fannie and Freddie bailout dissipated in response to renewed concerns about weakness in the financial sector. The Dow dropped 280 points to close at 11,231. Lehman Brothers Inc. (LEH) spooked the market when word spread that the troubled investment bank's negotiations with Korea Development Bank had stalled. Lehman has been aggressively pursuing additional capital in order to provide protection against deteriorating assets and strengthen its balance sheet. Lehman shares were down more than 40% on the day. The downtrend in the overall market and financial sector was hastened by American Insurance Group, Inc (AIG), as investors speculated that the world's largest[More...]

Nov. 3--The video, lovingly promoted by Maryland Republicans, has gotten nearly 4,000 hits on YouTube.
It's a 2006 ad for the successful gubernatorial campaign of Martin O'Malley.
