EOT Position Update – July 8, 2015
Market Snapshot I took my family white water rafting down the Colorado River near Glenwood Springs, Colorado over the Fourth of July weekend. It was the first time my wife and I had taken our three boys rafting. Thankfully, we had a great guide that told us about all of interesting stuff along the way. […]
EOT Position Update – July 1, 2015
Market Snapshot It’s been another week dominated by talk of Greece and China. If the Greek tragedy that’s unfolding were a movie, we would be on the 8th hour of the 6th sequel of the long running story. Most people didn’t care enough to bother showing up to pay attention. Most of those that did […]
EOT Position Update – June 24, 2015
Market Snapshot Another week has gone by and the S&P 500 is still stuck in a trading range. As you can see, the large cap index has done little more than tread water this year. And it has spent the vast majority in a trading range between 2,060 and 2,120. There have been 3 attempts […]
EOT Position Update – June 17, 2015
Market Snapshot Right now the markets are focused on two things… The Fed and Greece. After two days of meeting, the Fed released its latest statement. In short, they didn’t change anything. They think the economy is improving and that interest rates will be hiked later this year. But the committee also backed off their […]
EOT Position Update – June 10, 2015
Market Snapshot Volatility picked up over the last week. But the majority of it was confined to the bond market where long duration bonds have suffered a 15% correction since January. The bond sellers were out in full force after some strong economic data last week. For instance, jobs growth, personal income, and hourly earnings […]
EOT Position Update – June 3, 2015
Market Snapshot It’s been another week of the same thing we’ve seen over the past several months. Simply put, there’s a lack of conviction from buyers and sellers alike. According to the latest AAII Investor Sentiment Survey, 27% of investors are bullish on stocks over the next six months, 25% are bearish on stocks over […]
EOT Position Update – May 27, 2015
Market Snapshot Over the last few weeks, there has been plenty of volatility in the financial markets. But we hadn’t seen much of it in the stock market… it had been confined to currency and bond markets. The first few trading days after the Memorial Day holiday are a different story. Tuesday the S&P 500 […]
EOT Position Update – May 20, 2015
Market Snapshot The S&P 500 reach an all-time high of 2130 this week. The large cap index is now up 4% so far this year. The path here has been full ups and downs. Many investors were positioned for the US economy to accelerate in Q1. Along with it were expectations for a Fed rate […]
EOT Position Update – May 13, 2015
Market Snapshot It was another choppy weak for financial markets. Nothing was immune from the increased volatility. Stocks, bonds, and currencies all saw sharp and quick price swings. And through it all, the S&P 500 stayed locked in the consolidation pattern that has been in place for the last few months. As I’ve pointed out […]
EOT Position Update – May 6, 2015
Market Snapshot Investors are greeting the arrival of the month of May as they so often do… They’re selling stocks. The old Wall Street adage goes, sell in May and go away. But here’s the thing… I don’t think investors will go away. In order for the ‘sell in May and go away’ strategy to […]
