Choppy Stock Open Lies Ahead - Futures Remain Mixed In Wake of August Job Results

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:56:09 GMT

Stock futures pared early gains and are trading narrowly mixed after the latest read on the job market. August non-farm payrolls fell by 216,000, the government reported, slightly fewer cuts than Wall Street economists expected. But the decline marks the 20th straight month for contraction and serves as a reminder that any job market recovery typically lags signs of revival in other pockets of the economy.[More...]

Market Dips On Last Day Of A Very Good Quarter

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:35:49 GMT

The market is seeing some selling pressure after a weaker than expected consumer confidence report came out, which showed that consumer confidence fell to 49.3 in June vs. 54.9 last month and expectations of 55.3 this time. The drop in confidence in June appeared to reflect a weak labor market. End-of-quarter window dressing by portfolio managers could give stocks another upward pull today. The S&P 500 is up +15% this quarter, which I believe is the best quarter since Q4 1998. And some markets in Asia had their best quarter in 15 years. The govt. is planning to roll out its PPIP program, which was once touted to be as big as $1 trillion, but is now expected to get off the ground with as little as $50 billion in investments. This is the plan aimed at[More...]

The decade: Many bubbles, many busts

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:05:00 GMT

Nov. 27--From Enron to Madoff, bear markets to financial crises, bubbles to bailouts, jobless recovery to double-digit unemployment -- this has been an economically brutal first decade for the new millennium.
It has stirred calls to dust off New Deal designs.
It seems now that all those zeros on our new calendars were trying to warn us about the encroaching fleet of financial Hindenburgs.
