Friday Mixed Review

Well,today I am joyful to start back writing my business and stock investment analysis on a weekly basis. Except for the nagging sneezing and sniffles I so happy to get back in the saddle with my laser point critical focused reports. Today is Friday and yup you guessed it right I didn't unfortunately make writing my Wednesday resume to writing here. Well,I am back in the saddle again,ridlin my horse or critical analysis and sometimes being a crisis analyst. Lol.. Ok.. Let's get into the points of interest so my readers can start Yellen at the markets too.. Ok I guess I couldn't resist that one because agrees back again tinkering with the Fed interest rates. By now you kinda figures it the very famous Janet Yellen that is Fed Chair Bankers favorite pet and the stock markets Alcoholic and Tums prescription drugs dependency. Yes,when she excitedly exclaims how wonderful it's going to be with another federal interest rate hike. Investors and even bankers worldwide go what? Oh No! Not Again!! So,that is exactly what's going on with her Fed Bankers peers trying to put a smooth spin on her propensity to be Yellen at the markets,business and bankers globally. Worries have this weeks investors and business people preparing for the worst with moving their investments offshore to safety zones. On the lighter side of things the economy chugging along at average 4% for this quarter is helping provide some hope of the ongoing recovery. The problem ia for all this bridge to bright spot that were walking on looking forward we forgot to look at the tree stump of new increase in unemployment claims which added another 60,000 to the 244,000 already in the system. So,we just fell flat on our face with no paying jobs available in the economy. Getting up off the ground,looking so much hope at other good peaches we decided to try eating one but that is a bitter one. Why? The stock markets overseas went into the toilet with Canada down average 55 points,Asia markets drowned themselves into red zone average 245 points,Europe got shot lighter with average 15 points, the good peach that we pulled out of this bitter basket is America market up 3.65 average on the Down Jones while other US markets post average 7 points. Housing starts,new home sales jumped to a all time record high. Record investment in new property purchases help drive the leaders over the declining issues by a small margin. Health care sector output out performed other sectors which is another economy bright spot. So,overall this week got some things briefly to cheer about but other economic factors caused investors and business people to weigh their options in bailout,move offshore or stay in the current portfolios and plan investments. I expect this to continue to effect investors and business,bankers and business people as they begin to looking at what to do from a prospective Federal Bank blood bath rate hike. So,this is how I see things shaping up for next week ahead about business and investment.

Have a Wonderful Weekend,

Friday Market Watch

I think I will start this thing off today writing my market report with some interesting data to include in it. Unfortunately due to being very busy with my usually heavy load of responsibilities combined with ongoing to do work lists that keep me busy. So, I didn't get to write and post Monday,Wednesday stock,business report to global blog readers,yes definitely blame me it's my fault for not doing it. Well,now that is out of the way let's concentrate on a Friday,weekly wrap up on the global markets with business included. I am posting with this a important chart that I think everyone should study it closely because it gives in my expert opinion a good industry indicator of what,which way the global markets are going to be heading into October. So,its market watch Friday wrapped up here with critical analysis on what happened today combined with this week. First let's start with the "Good News" on this day with data that everyone going to be happy with seeing but watch out for the engine in Asian markets it just ran out of oil to keep it going. Ok.. enough of the semantics,let's get to the facts on how they global markets did this week. Well,certainly interested things have happened this week with a new report about consumer spending is down sharply,no surprise to market people who track this stuff daily. Interest rates have stayed the same thanks in part to the Fed Bank decided to not hike the discount rate. This did help marketeers with some sunshine over this ongoing rate decided recently. This however is just a favorable factor in the overall spread spectrum of the financial,investment and business markets. You see we just got another report released from the Treasury which shows inflation has almost doubled in thing third quarter of 2016. The benchmark on this Fed Bank leading economic industry indicators shows it's hit their 2% mark which is almost double of what it should be for going into the fourth quarter of this year. Fed Bank policy has flip flopped a few times this year with the central bank pushing the printing presses into action trying to jump start a sluggish,weak economy. Jobs added a new sweet spot this week with reports that the overall economy grew a modest 4% in the third quarter with jobs growth. The overall reaction to this modest economic data received a "Yes this is great,so I wager a short term bet on some stocks and bonds" this week investors attitude. People decided to venture out of their den to smile,feel happy but still carried their rain suits just to be certain they were not making a mistake. Market investors and business both global breathed a huge sigh of relief when they found out that Germany biggest bank isn't going under and out of business like what was originally told by corporate big wigs. That great news sent recovery shock waves through global markets as everyone actually witnessed another miracle with Deutsche Bank posting a meager but important profit increase plus stock prices climbed slightly for the first time in a year. Around the globe investors got better yields and stock,bonds performance that what what it's been in other weeks in the third quarter of this year. The Asian markets did a mixed swan dive with the Heesang down about 350.0 points,Others about 210.0 points but towards the end of this week some Asian markets were slightly up on the news that the dollar weakened over this week. Canadian markets reached a combined rally uphill on news about Deutsche Bank and more about the European Central Bank new monetary policy on Thursday going into Friday. American markets climbed up to 180.76 on the Dow with this rally continued to be strong all week. More good news from Apple and Dell drove the markets to conclude that maybe the Bears in the markets have been beaten by a large margin With both Apple,Dell and Boeing posted sizable profit gains for both third quarter and starting fourth quarter this added investors confidence that the uphill rally will continue. Business people also had something to smile about this week with the news that Apple suite in court is going in their favor,winning the suite means big for Apple over patent rights on their IPHONE and other products. So,overall investors and business people global had something to cheer about but with a few shocking choking factors along the way this week. This is my expert analysis of this weeks global investment markets and business.

Have Blessed Day,

Friday Market Report-09/09/16

Well,today we see my early week analysis is correct on what the end of this week is going to be on the market indexes. So,let's get out our microscope so that critique can begin putting into perspective at 4:55pm on Friday. Which hatchet should I use first on my analysis tables?? HMmm.. I think I will start will the favorite target the Fed Central Bank with their rate hike tremors. Look at at my analysis on what I said Monday-Tuesday of this week as a recap. I said the markets are going to have shock factor running heavily through them as we get closer to to Friday this week. Now let's zoom forward here its Friday and the markets are closed on Wall Street but global some markets continue to be open due to different time zones change. Ok. Like my wife HM Pam L (Porter) Norton says" Cut the Bullshit and Get Busy" sounds good to me,I love how my wife is soooo direct in her motivation. Ok. So here it is filled with the good news of today with a punch drunk pound of sour apples. The market news is enough to rot your socks right off your feet with the Dow Jones benchmark down 346.52 and Standards & Poors down 56.42 on today's trading. All the rest of the markets the Russell 500,1000 etc all going heavy red negative below the belt. Canadian markets going wild with a huge selling frenzy on heavy trading. Global markets everywhere going in the toilet down average 100 points with one exception the Hesang market which posted the reverse gained 186.90 approximated on heavy volume. Global market reached a high pitched voices on new Fed Bankers talking again interest rate hike sending global shock waves through all the business community and markets today. While another huge hit came from the European Central Bank rate hike that just increased global markets selling frenzy,people yelled ouch that hurts. People in Europe cried foul today when the ECB decided to preempt the US Fed Bank and add their own set of drama to the global financial mess. European markets quickly reacted to the new rate hike by massive selling binge trying to hedge their risk margin on certain parts of their portfolios while bailing out on the rest before they floundered completely. Fed Central Bankers decided to add to the growing fury by announcing they are considering a larger rate hike than originally talked about by Fed Chair Janet Yellen. Some other Fed Bankers trying to cool the global jangle nerves of investors,business said maybe things won't be so bad. Fed Chair Janet Yellen cautioned " that the idea circling of the Fed Bank tightening it's belt she said probably isn't realistic" that just made investors pause saying HuH What OH No she Switched it!! Time to Sell or I am getting buried by the Avalanche going hit me. So,that is what investors did today bailout of the markets while a tidal wave global and Wall Street felt the pain. By the time Wall Street figured out what was happening today it was too late for most to get out. The tidal waves hit Wall Street and then Main Street got clubbed next with a bad ulcer. Some people however smart that they are said to themselves it's get rich quick time and made a huge haul on everyone ulcers sickness. This week certainly seen its share of fame and famine on business side of things included with Apple reaching for it's throat gagging on the EU court decision which penalized Apple billions for violating consumer and patent laws. Then German industry Mercedes and BMW both announced a huge cut in their work force to add to Europe overall sentiment that the economy is stuck in degrade zone. With all this happened at the same time Wall Street just took the approach of trying to minimize the damage while jumping off the tidal wave ASAP. So, you ask where we going from here when Monday bell rings to open trading? Good question. .Well, given what we seen so far its really concludes that Monday will start the new week with increased skepticism about the Fed Bank tinkering with the interest rates. Some good news from the housing and real estate market sector will breathe temporary new life into a already lackluster markets. Other important data will continue to feed optimum that a Bull market is just around the corner somewhere with investors feeling more increasingly to buying short on the market but still hedging their long term risks. Then about Wednesday you will see the effects of the Consumer Prices index Report and Gold Report come out which will fuel mixed reviews with both institutional and regular investors. Look for a binge sell signals and global sell off on Thursday going possible into Friday when the next big thing hits. This ones a whopper of a hit the Treasury announcement of another debt ceiling increase or default on public debt,so a monster shock included when Congress decides to approve it in a all you can eat pork barrel spending bill. This is how I think next week is going to shape the financial markets with business and investors with underpinning analysis included.

Everyone Have a Great Weekend,
God Bless ..

Stock Market Pendulum

Well, it certainly has been a gut wrenching roller coaster ride this week for investors. The news out of Europe just hit hard home here in the US and has given many investment people cause to reach for the tums rolaids. Just when everyone thought the European debt crisis was over here comes the next wave of bad news. It really has investors scratching their head and taking a selling off panic in their portfolio.. The mainstream on main street herd has just pulled out of the market thinking we are heading for a huge gillatine crash in both stocks and bonds. This is not true because if you are a smart investment guy,you are looking at the charts to see what they are showing you.. That certainly is a different picture of a simple market correction that is going to last a short few days. Any good trader knows to be a success in investment you have to jump in when everyone else hits the panic button on wall street. You do the opposite of what the herd does as a contrarian and your the one who gets rich.. If you play your games short and long correctly your going to make lots of money. So with that said about investments this week do yourself a favor and buy in heavy while the market sinks. Then when the reversal comes next week ride the wave to to crest and then sell off your stocks which is calked shorting the market. By doubling your profits this way you beat the market instead of the market beating you on your short game..For the long game I recommend buying solid dividend paying stocks and investment in bonds like Vanguard Total Equity Return.or Janus High Yield Investor to hedge your risk.  Thus you beat the market and make.money no matter which way the markets swing up or decline.. Hope that this helps everyone to make a truck load of dough..
Have a Great a Day...
