The Good, and Bad, About Wednesday’s Bounce

News-driven market moves are inherently flawed. As soon as the news fades, so too does its impact, leaving stocks at levels investors aren't quite sure what to do with. On the other hand, sometimes news-prompted volatility is just what the market ordered, imposing trading action that stock should push through anyway but just can't. This week's action thus far looks...

Don’t time the market, but if you do, here’s when the bear might come knocking

– More money has been lost by investors trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in corrections themselves – By Andrea Riquier, MarketWatch How should investors think about the possible end of the decade long bull market? With the U.S. economic expansion now into a record eleventh year, it's a fair question. A new analysis from BCA Research is...

Weekly Market Outlook – The Bulls Continue to Shrug Off the Danger

For a holiday-shortened week, the bulls got quite a bit done. Despite Friday's 0.41% setback, the S&P 500 mustered a 1.0% advance for the four-day stretch, halting the previous week's hint at a beginning of a pullback.
