Stock Market update -Jan 8th

Based on last year's January selloff, many people expected the same thing this year. It's not over yet, but so far we have a nice rally, with the VIX scraping the bottom! This week we begin to get earnings from the Banks, which had a nice run since the election. Bonds and Gold continued the short-term uptrend this week, while Oil was flat. We could see this stock rally continue as the DOW crosses the 20,000 mark this week, maybe...

Stock Market Update -Jan1

Another quiet holiday week, although the market pulled back a bit. We could see some selling next week as investors take profits in the new tax year.  Gold and Gold Miners rallied a bit.

The market closed out the year with approximately 10% returns on the large-cap S&P500, and almost 20% for the Small-caps (IWM). Bonds and Gold dropped for the year, while Oil was up.

Leading sectors for the year were Energy, Financials, and Industrials. Lagging was Health Care

Stock Market update -Dec 18th

The rally stalled this week after the Fed Interest rate announcement. Maybe we consolidate, then move higher for a year-end rally, or maybe not -we'll see. The bias is to the up-side. Bonds and Gold continued to drop. FB & AMZN continue to be rangebound since the election. NVDA powers higher!

Stock Market update -Dec 11th

The market recovered from the small prior week pullback, to set new all-time record highs again. Bonds continue to sink. Next week we get the final Fed meeting for the year, where rates are expected to be raised by .25 -barring any surprises, it should have little impact on equity markets. We could see more movement in Bonds though, which have been very oversold.
