Things have changed for stocks since a couple of weeks ago…. mostly for the better. Some of the groups that had fizzled out have since rekindled. On the flipside, a couple have flamed out, with one of them doing so in a spectacularly disappointing fashion. Traders would be wise to at least understand which sectors are leading and lagging now,...
Most everyone has heard the term 'sell in May and go away,' but not everyone necessarily believes in the premise enough to abide by it. Nothing wrong with that — many of the market's presumed truths end up being false when really put to the test. As it turns out though, the whole 'sell in May' thing is for real....

Move in the S&P 500 provides an answer By Steve Goldstein, MarketWatch As President Donald Trump releases the “principles” of his tax reform, it’s worth delving into how much is already baked into the stock market. It’s not an easy exercise. People don’t fill out exit polls about why they’ve bought or sold a stock. With a little math, though,...
