It’s been my opinion now for the last year that the bull market that started in March of 2009 at 666 on the S&P would come to an end either in late 2013, or early 2014. I’m confident […]
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, Red Jahncke argues that the recent drop in U.S. stock markets may be a delayed response to a tax change:In late 2012, investors sold huge amounts of investments with long-term capital gains to take advantage of the expiring 15% “Bush” long-term capital-gains tax rate before the current 23.8% rate for higher-income investors took effect […]
One problem with stock market rallies that are characterized by steep and uninterrupted ascents, such as the one experienced during 2013, is that once a sell-off commences it becomes difficult to pinpoint price levels at which the declines in broad equity indices such as the S&P 500 (SPY) may run their course.In this article, I will briefly review the factors […]

Given the recent pullback in broader-market indices, it seems like an appropriate time to add a bit of perspective with the following four nuggets:1. Even after this week’s pullback, the S&P 500 (SPY) is just 3.27% off its all-time high. Similarly the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) and Russell 2000 (IWM) are just 4.27% and 3.21% off their all-time highs. […]
Today was the first truly bad day of 2014 for the stock market. The Dow closed down 175, although off the lows, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 shed half a percent each.
