Paul Tudor Jones Warns, Stocks Slip, Abby Stays Positive
Hedge Fund icon, Paul Tudor Jones, warned his clients that the rally is nothing more than a bear market bounce, a common occurrence during extended downtrends. However, this negative sentiment was challenged by Goldman Sach’s Abby Joseph Cohen who stated a new bull run has started with investors easily seeing a 10% gain in the S&P 500 by years end. Positive data from the unemployment front counteracted a slew of poor earnings reports resulting in a slight negative bias on the day. The DJIA gave back -24.71 to 9256.26, the Nasdaq fell -19.89 to 1973.16 and the broad based S&P 500 dropped -5.64 to 997.08.
