Video length: 00:01:39 During the day on Tuesday, we will more than likely have a fairly quiet session. We have Consumer Confidence numbers coming out, and with that being the case stock markets could move in the United States but beyond that we don’t expect much in the way of volatility. On top of that,…
Futures steadily higher as we start to approach the early morning trading action. Stocks have been on he decline of late, but the pullback has been extremely shallow and nothing that invokes fear from traders near and far. Even if the market opens lower tomorrow, there is little reason to believe that the dip buyers…
The “final” estimate for Q4 GDP was uninteresting save the update to corporate profits and cash flow. The upward revision to 1.4% wasn’t really any different than the preliminary or advance estimates, and since 12% of it was simply a guess by the BEA it doesn’t amount to a whole lot of solid analysis especially…

Monday’s trading session was just another sign that the U.S. Federal Reserve is holding the markets hostage with mixed messages on the timing of its next interest rate hike. Like a dog told to come from across the yard while its leash is tied to a tree, the Dow Jones Industrial Average didn’t go anywhere today as traders await a speech from…
The Chart of the Day belongs to SCANA Corp. (NYSE:SCG). I found the electric utility stock by using Barchart to sort today’s All Time High list first by the most frequent number of new highs in the last month then for technical buy signals of 80% or better. I always use the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend…
Rocky Road is more than an ice cream flavor, as numerous potholes threaten the lateral stability of a seemingly-rangebound market at a relatively high level. The market’s staggering January decline and subsequent February rebound did indeed start running into trouble around the ‘Ides of March’; then shuffled without resolution to this very moment (off the…
Well, my friends, it’s getting a little challenging adding a lot of new color to a market whose most recent changes for the entire trading day were down a few hundredths of a percentage point on Thursday and up a few hundredths of a percentage point today.
