9 Weeks (And Counting) Of Treading Water – Weekly Market Outlook Part of the market’s current stagnation can be chalked up to the time of year… the coming summer doldrums. Another part of it, however, stems from the fact that traders are simply unsure of what to think here. The good news is, the floors and ceilings are pretty clear....
More Choppiness Ahead? – Weekly Market Outlook Technically speaking, the market made gains last week. What the bottom-line number doesn’t indicate, however, is how much of a struggle it was to even manage that modest advance.
