The Wagner Daily - February 4, 2009

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 12:57:14 GMT

Dave Fry's Market Comments For December 22

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 22:25:00 GMT

MARKET COMMENT December 22, 2008 This is no way to start the holiday week is it? The only folks pleased by today’s action are those driving a Hummer and/or snowmobiling. This type of action is why Chicken Dave still maintains high cash balances at the ETF Digest. Bulls will cheer the light volume today as no big thing but you should expect this type of action in either direction until trading resumes after the New Year.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For December 16

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 22:54:00 GMT

MARKET COMMENT December 16, 2008 Bernanke is living up to his reputation as helicopter drops of cash will rain on markets until his academic research is vindicated. It’s as most have been saying, “when push comes to shove politicians and officials will choose to inflate.” Theoretically, barring heavy central bank sales, investors have been given the green light to buy gold and hold it until the Fed reverses course. Uncle Buck will also take a hit.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For December 10

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:12:00 GMT

MARKET COMMENT December 10, 2008 The action today was choppy and uncertain. Serious sellers were met by even more determined buyers. As we headed into the close the propping by bulls (and whomever else you choose to think of) was even more intense. One thing is becoming more obvious; gold bugs are getting their groove back as they sniff-out the inflationary implications of all this money printing.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For December 3

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 23:48:00 GMT

MARKET COMMENT December 3, 2008 The bulls have seized the tape for now. The news remains terrible but those that need to prop things find tidbits of news to rationalize buying. They cherry-pick what news they like, spin it in bullish fashion, and voila, up pops another rally to try to even things out for the week. Ignoring Research in Motion’s disappointing numbers (it closed nearly 5% higher, DOH![More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For December 2

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 22:29:00 GMT

MARKET COMMENT December 2, 2008 Not only is it a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, we also got the Big W today as well. Stocks rose sharply early, fell abruptly by an almost equal amount only to be propped into the close. It’s volatility on steroids combined with desperate “stick saves” by the powers that be. Major indexes made back a third to half of yesterday’s decline.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For December 1

Mon, 01 Dec 2008 23:04:00 GMT

MARKET COMMENT December 1, 2008 So many images and thoughts, so little time. But, let’s just go with the image above since it’s short, snappy and makes the point: Black Friday is really dumb. That leads nicely to a Black Monday of sorts. The immediate chart below is the NASDAQ from Friday.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For November 25

Tue, 25 Nov 2008 23:56:00 GMT

MARKET COMMENT November 25, 2008 The US consumer needs a credit card bailout like a crack addict needs another fix. Now we’re going to backup credit card debt and auto loans. When all this bailing out started I tossed out the old English maxim: “In for a penny, in for a pound.” That was an understatement.[More...]

Dave Fry's Market Comments For November 24

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 23:43:00 GMT

MARKET COMMENT November 24, 2008 What’s so good about putting up $7.4 trillion of taxpayer money to backstop stupid banks? Then it’s said Obama wants a $700 billion stimulus plan immediately. These amounts are beyond mind-numbing.[More...]

Notice to All Proshare Advisors UltraShort Real Estate Investors From the Securities Law Firm of Tramont Guerra & Nunez, PA

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:55:00 GMT

CORAL GABLES, FL -- -- 08/14/09 -- The Securities Law Firm of Tramont Guerra & Núñez, PA makes an announcement to all investors in the Proshare Advisors UltraShort Real Estate ETF concerning the class action lawsuit filed on August, 5, 2009, in the United States District Court District of Southern District of New York. The class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of investors in the Proshare UltraShort Real Estate Fund who suffered investment losses. The lawsuit alleges that Proshare Advisors, LLC failed to properly structure the Exchange Traded Fund to perform in a manner which was consistent with representations made in the prospectus. In this instance, the Proshare UltraShort ETF price failed to move with a 200% inverse correlation relative to the underlying tracking index, the Dow Jones Real Estate Index , which resulted in the losses sustained by investors. In fact, the lawsuit asserts that from January 2, 2008 through December 17, 2008, the tracking index declined 39.20% while the Proshare UltraShort Real Estate ETF declined 48.20%, instead of a 78.40% gain which was projected by Proshares Advisors, LLC. Prospective class members should consider whether an individual securities arbitration claim filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, is more effective than a class action for recovery of their investment losses.[More...]
