Stock Market update: November 2017

Stock Market update -Nov 26th

The market closed at all time highs once again, with the small-caps (IWM) finally regaining ground and taking out the October high. Bonds continued to rally too, so both asset classes are going up at the same time, which is unusual. Technology is still mostly leading the way. VIX dropped to lower levels once again!

Stock Market update -Nov 19th

The market seems to be in limbo, having dropped earlier in the week, then recovering on Thursday. Next week we have a short one because of Thanksgiving. Markets seem to want to take a pause after this recent run. Bonds seem to be holding to the up side, and will probably continue higher if stocks take a dip.

Stock Market update -Nov 5th

Another repeat... "Another week, another move higher to new all time highs in the market, and the VIX drops lower again. Next week we get a slew of earnings (see below) that could affect some markets. Wait... that's the same thing I said for the last 3 weeks! Nothing's changed -the market powers higher yet again..."

There is some divergence though -The Small-Caps (IWM) are trending down, and Bonds are moving up as stocks also move up. One of them will soon change!

The new Tax plan was unveiled this week, a new Fed Chairman was announced, we had the monthly Jobs report, and a terrorist attack in Manhattan that killed 8 people -all without any impact on the markets.
