    Stock funds explode on the China trade deal

    May 13, 2025 Stocks soared on the news of a trade deal with China. The charts continue to break through one layer of resistance after another, but when you get a 20% decline, there is always more resistance on the way up until new highs are made. The Nasdaq gained more than 4% on the day...

    The Tariff Talk

    OK, I'll bite. I'm no expert on tariffs, and neither are most people, and a Monday morning scorecard would be nice to see. But reciprocity and dealing with fentanyl imports were goals that have been addressed. The stock market is up, but only to where it was in March and November, so maybe...

    Big gains across the board this morning following the weekend trade deal with China. We have large open gaps on many of the charts, which is good (big gains), and bad - since they often get filled. Let's look at some of the moves. The S-fund's DWCPF jumped above some key moving averages and...

    Talk of a trade deal with China has stocks looking up

    May 12, 2025 After a strong open on Friday morning, stocks quickly gave back the early gains then treaded water for most of the day and the indices closed fairly flat. The I-fund led on weakness in the dollar, and the F-fund (bonds) was up. All of that is rear-view information as the...

    Unfortunately we don't hear about these until they hit the most active, or highest % gainer lists. The only way I have known to take advantage of these story stocks is to own a basket of them and hope one or two eventually make "the move." I prefer to trade the ones that have recently started...

    Stocks are stalling at resistance, but not backing off yet and the indices are fairly flat in early trading. The charts may be suggesting a lull in the trade talks, and it may take another deal or two to get the resistance taken out. Yields and the dollar are down and the weak dollar is...

    Agree. Stable rates are more important, but lower rates will help earnings, especially to smaller companies, and more than likely, the stock market.

    Trade deal with the UK sparks rally in stocks

    May 9, 2025 Things are happening in the tariff world and yesterday was a win for the stock market as the US and UK came to a deal on trade. There was a disturbing sell off in the final 30 minutes of trading, and lately in this volatile market, it has either been a boom or bust in that final...

    Stocks are rallying this morning after the US and UK make a deal on trade and tariffs. The action has reminded me a lot of the 2020 covid market bottom when good and bad news was constantly being thrown at us. In the case of covid it was about the Fed and government stimulus money. This time...

    The Fed says, "We don't know!"

    5/08/25 It was a complicated Fed FOMC meeting day, complete with no rate cut, unanswered questions, headlines from the White House, and dramatic volatility in the final few minutes of trading, and somehow the day ended with decent gains. Bonds were up again as yields slipped, and the dollar...
