Currency Crisis Could Mark a Market Bottom
Currency crisis could mark a market bottom, especially if the Fed wavers from its current aggressive stance on continuing to rachet up rates to fight inflation. This was almost the case in the United Kingdom before the Bank of England restarted quantitative easing (QE) to save the 30-year Gilt from a violent sell off. The […]
History Says Midterm Elections Will Spark a Market Rebound
Following the disappointing inflation data reading in the form of the Core PCE Index (excluding food and energy), the third quarter closed with a resounding thud. The key takeaway from the report is that the inflation the Fed says it can control (prices of goods and services purchased by consumers) ticked higher in August by […]
Bears Remain In Control as King Dollar Rallies to Record 20-Year High
Last week was particularly tough for investors as all 11 sectors experienced losses of some extent. The S&P fell 4.6% after the Fed telegraphed that more tightening of short-term rates lies ahead by year’s end, when it was thought that the Fed would “hike and hold,” allowing the three 75-point rate increases of June, July […]

A Bear Market Bounce or the Pause That Refreshes?
Friday’s downbeat close took every sector lower, except health care. It was the first session where there were no genuine attempts by investors to buy the intra-day dip, but it was also a day where $2.3 trillion in equity-linked options expired. Some argue this removes a layer of support for the market underneath, and the […]
Rising Odds of Recession in Europe Pose a Risk to U.S. Rally
Back in the day when I was working as a broker at Bear Stearns in San Francisco in 1989, and well before the fall of that storied Wall Street firm, every morning before the market opened, the entire trading floor would gather at 6:00 a.m. to have a pre-market strategy meeting about what to trade […]
Market Rally Has Some High Hurdles To Clear
One of the most exciting races in all of track and field is the 110-meter-high hurdles, a fierce event that requires extreme focus, grit and determination to succeed in clearing all 10 hurdles without hitting one, which can easily compromise victory. Back in 1981, Renaldo “Skeets” Nehemiah owned the track and field world as the […]
