Dave Fry's Market Comments For July 8

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 22:29:55 GMT

MARKET COMMENT July 8, 2009 We had a lot more volume than we’ve seen recently. Short-term equity markets are much oversold while commodity markets continue to get hammered big time. The entire day can be summed up with just those two sentences. But now we have earnings upon us and Alcoa is kicking things off with unremarkable results.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For July 7

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 22:47:16 GMT

MARKET COMMENT July 7, 2009 I guess HAL has been deactivated and GS has lost this little memory unit. If you see it lying around, well hell, they’ll buy it from you no doubt. Or, worse, you might get thrown in the slammer since nobody, but nobody messes with the Da Boyz. The green shoots have turned to pond scum as investors, currently sans HAL, don’t up from down.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For July 6

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 00:02:23 GMT

MARKET COMMENT July 6, 2009 A lot is being written, at least in the blogosphere about the high frequency trading program pilfered from Goldman Sachs. (The first article is here and you can follow many more at other sites.) The questions being asked are pointed and terrific. For example, is the recent downturn in volume because Goldman’s computers were shut down for fear they were compromised?[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For July 2

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 01:00:16 GMT

MARKET COMMENT July 2, 2009 Maybe, maybe not—this is all I can say since bulls have repeatedly demonstrated their “energizer bunny” quality. Maybe over the weekend investors will forget about the sting of today’s drop as no doubt the powers that be will roll-out their spokesmen to cheer everyone up. This action is why over roughly the past two months our cash balances have been high. Once we got the weekly DeMark sequential 9 counts we were expecting a reaction.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For June 30

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 22:10:34 GMT

MARKET COMMENT June 30, 2009 Um, “worse than expected”? I guess that sums it up today as Consumer Confidence data was terrible. Stock price declines today were milder than expected given the news. But, silly me, I forget that this is the quarter and mid-year end—there are bonuses to be had and bullish headlines to be written.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For June 29

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:36:29 GMT

MARKET COMMENT June 29, 2009 I thought this deliberate end-of-month/quarter shenanigans were against the rules right? Oh, they don’t enforce this type of activity—never have, never will. Anyway, with volume ultra-light, or absent bullish news for that matter, propping markets can be done with ease since it takes just a little paint to push things in the desired direction. Breadth was positive but volume was beneath significant.[More...]

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...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For June 22

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:25:44 GMT

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...]
