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...]

Economic growth expected, but can it be sustained?

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:50:00 GMT

Economists forecast the nation's total output grew at an annual rate of 3.3 percent between July and September, after contracting for a record four straight quarters.
New home sales in September unexpectedly fell 3.6 percent, the first decline since March and a distinct sign of weakness in a market that had rebounded strongly over the summer.
While the unemployment rate fell slightly in most metro areas in September, the trend was fueled by discouraged job seekers leaving the work force, according to government data released Wednesday.
