Gold Clears Hurdle, Sets Stage for Move to $1317 and Beyond

It wasn't clear it was in the cards. In fact, until yesterday it appeared as if gold was going to roll over again, unable to push past a major technical hurdle around $1269. With the right circumstances and a little luck though, gold futures sent a clear message that they're in an uptrend. The daily chart of gold below tells...

Tuesday Turns Into a Pivotal Day For the S&P 500, Market

Bad news for investors today… probably… possibly. The S&P 500 along with most other major market indices have tested a key floor, and even fallen below it for a brief moment.

Look for Stocks to Climb Wall of Worry, Price Headley Tells CNBC

"The reaction was after we had the airstrikes, after we had the nonfarm payrolls that were about half of what they should have been, you would have thought the market should have been down – the Dow should have been down 150, maybe 200 points on that kind of news – but it was only down a hair, and it...

On the other hand, it was significant in the sense that the indices — despite trying — failed to hurdle a key ceiling. As such, we're still on the fence, but the market is apt to move decidedly...
