Bulls Back On Track?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:21:18 GMT

Good morning. With chants of "Dow 10K… Dow 10K" once again rising from the streets at the corner of Broad and Wall yesterday, it is easy to believe that the bulls are back on track and that we'll soon be looking at new highs for the stock market. And when reviewing the data inputs to yesterday's 204 point romp, it is also easy to don the Dow10K hat once again and join in on the celebration.[More...]

Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

Market's reaction to yesterday's FOMC rate decision was as expected... volatility!

Investing: Playing a Pullback in the Dollar

Thu, 21 May 2009 15:03:00 GMT

With signs of improving economic conditions worldwide, investors are once again starting to consider higher-risk vehicles such as currencies.
The spark for the mini-rally: a combination of encouraging remarks by Timothy Geithner about improving credit markets and signals that Fed officials are willing to raise the mortgage and Treasury bond purchasing programs beyond the $1.75 trillion the Fed has already agreed to buy, according to Action Economics.
The 10-week rebound in equity indexes around the world has sped the dollar's retreat against the euro and other key foreign currencies.

Are Exchange Traded Funds the Future of Investing?

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 15:12:00 GMT

Nov. 16--Larry Carrel is a big fan of exchange traded funds.
The Amherst native and former Smart- Money.com columnist calls ETFs "mutual funds for the 21st century" and touts them as a cost-effective way for investors to broadly diversify their portfolios.
Mutual funds do that too, but Carrel thinks ETFs are better because their fees are lower and they can be traded during the day, like a regular stock, rather than only after the stock market closes for the day, as with a mutual fund.
