Dave Fry's Market Comments For June 25

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:03:29 GMT

MARKET COMMENT June 25, 2009 Okay, sometimes it’s good to miss a couple of days. Everything and nothing has happened. Yesterday it was the amazingly boring and meandering Fed statement that had a little something for everybody. (How many “buts” can you stuff in this thing?[More...]

MARKET COMMENT June 22, 2009 The story is front and center: GS is reported (later denied) able to pay huge bonuses to employees this year. (Guardian story is here.) How can this happen especially now? TARP money to trade with thanks to US taxpayers.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For June 18

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 22:45:34 GMT

MARKET COMMENT June 18, 2009 I thought it might be entertaining at least but the show was a bust—a bore—a ramped, camped and dumped deal. Bull’s got excited early with (ho hum) “better than expected” employment data and Leading Economic Indicators. Then financials got a lift from Turbo-Timmy’s testimony. With quad witching starting you’d think we’d have more volume but there was little.[More...]

MARKET COMMENT June 17, 2009 Doh!!! Tomorrow is another Treasury auction and to prepare our fearless Fed is buying while our Treasury is selling. How does that work?[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For June 16

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 22:32:01 GMT

MARKET COMMENT June 16, 2009 Bulls got some early cheer from homebuilders but that quickly faded with a (ahem) worse than expected decline in industrial production. Bulls need a catalyst and a stronger flow of funds to markets. Now it seems many are either just bored with conditions or lack motivation born by an inflow of fresh funds. Volume remains as light as a slow day in mid-August.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For June 15

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 00:58:46 GMT

MARKET COMMENT June 15, 2009 The only positive from today is Monday’s have proven to be good buying days of late. But that’s the only thing. Clearly some complacency (“the bottom’s in” and etc) combined with light volume (SPY traded only 180 million shares Friday) allowed markets to be pushed higher by those who could do it. Getting sucked in with them has always been the danger as the game often is to dump their accumulated stock to you once you step in.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For June 11

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 23:41:59 GMT

MARKET COMMENT June 11, 2009 That’s sort of the way I see the buying—tentative. No one seems to be throwing everything they’ve got at markets. Days like today have been common. Investors start strongly but then take a few steps back.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For June 10

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 23:47:58 GMT

MARKET COMMENT June 10, 2009 President: Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you think that we can stimulate growth through temporary incentives? (Long pause) Chance the Garderner: As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For June 9

Wed, 10 Jun 2009 00:43:19 GMT

MARKET COMMENT June 9, 2009 Setting up a new computer is a pain that’s for sure. Various components are missing and there are trips to Best Buy who then sell you the wrong part and repeat. This too shall pass. What does this have to do with markets?[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For June 8

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 23:15:11 GMT

MARKET COMMENT June 8, 2009 Markets are becoming predictable but still entertaining especially if you’re a spectator. If you have some TARP money sitting on your trading desk with volume this light you can really push things around. I know, I know, many think the government (the PPT?) is in there buying.[More...]
