Comme Ci, Comme Ca
Nothing to
write home about, but certainly not a bad day, all things considered.
Fed Up
Just another nonevent, Tuesday’s Fed announcement.
No Surprises
No surprises for
the day-before-the-Fed. That meant skimpy volume (again), few moves of any significance, and little to be gleaned about overall market trend.
All That Naz
Five wins in five days for the Naz.
Ho-Hum
Another
uneventful day for the general market overall.
As Quiet As They Come
Another
low-volume tape, no surprise for a
Monday in mid-August, and the quietest day in the Naz in six weeks.
Why Aspiring Traders Fail
The number one reason why aspiring traders fail is tied to their inability to recognize that the market is smarter than they.–Kevin N. Marder, Editor-in-Chief, TradingMarkets.com.
Shhhh…(Do Not Disturb)
An overall
good session, if on qui-i-iet volume.
Overhead On The Street
Richard Dickson, Scott & Stringfellow: “I’m
seeing a potential long-term change in leadership away from the technology
stocks and toward the value stocks and broken growth stories.”
Swung On And Missed
For a boring
old Thursday in mid-August, this one had a bit of excitement. The excitement came from the world of
the swinger stocks.
Overheard On The Street
Roy Blumberg, chief equity strategist, Sterne, Agee Leach, Inc.: “This is very much of a
trading range market with an upside bias. And I don’t think that’s going away
here for a while.”
Dog Days
These are the
dog days of summer. Actually, to be specific, of August.
