  Upon further reflection most know Wednesday's central bank action was just a handout to buy time. Both Barclay's and Goldman Sachs didn't think highly of the bullish reaction to yesterday's news. Barclay's Paul Robinson said the market updraft was "exaggerated" and "not easy to make the case that the magnitude of the news quite justifies the magnitude of the global market reaction."

Investors shrugged off more Italian and eurozone worries and focused instead on better than expected economic news in the U.S. Data included a lower PPI report (-.3% vs .8% previous and consensus -.2%); Retail Sales .5% vs 1.1% previous and .2% consensus); Empire State Mfg Survey (.6 vs -.2.6 previous) and lower Business Inventory data (.0% vs .4% previous and .2% consensus).

Rapidly changing news cycle, combined with HFT algos, is driving investors' nuts. This makes it difficult to cope with the super-charged volatility. It's like Shatner seeing something on the wing. The situation in the eurozone is driving volatility and it waxes and wanes with reality and spin. Jobless Claims data came in better than expected at 390K vs the obligatory 400K consensus. As has b Read More »

Investors aren't too happy with conditions overall and the image above plainly sums up the mood. If you stop and think about it you might conclude that we're just continuing the 2008 recession. Central planners and politicians captive to the election cycles haven't dealt with conditions forthrightly. Phony, ineffective and now corrupt stimulus packages haven't helped. ... Read More »

When you lose people's trust it's really hard to win them back. Second, investors have short memories. Many investors were burned by the 2008 bear market just as they had been in the dot.com bear market beginning in early 2001. But, with all systems green in 2003 and 2009 respectively, short memories, greed and good marketing sucked investors back in. The "flash crash" in 2010 shattered investo Read More »

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Investors fleeing equities this week put almost $50 billion back into money market funds after a month of near-record withdrawals, further illustrating the uncertainty that hit markets during the most volatile period of trading since the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers. In the week to Wednesday, Aug. 10, money markets had net inflows of $49.8 billion, according to EPFR G Read More »

We're in an "event risk" market environment. These are never easy to trade or position. I would wager many institutions and individuals are trying to find protection in whatever instrument they can find and/or are permitted to use. According to Lipper investors pulled a net $32.2 billion from mutual funds--including ETFs--for the week ended July 27. This continues the previous trend. Further in Read More »

NEW YORK (TheStreet) --Money market funds that invest in government-only securities are losing investors at two and a half times the rate of other funds, as worries over the debt ceiling crisis rattle the market.

Good earnings from YUM Brands (YUM) and J.P. Morgan (JPM) couldn't trump worries about the DC debt drama and Bernanke's tossing cold water on QE3. Bernanke's post day one internal focus group laid an egg on advice for day two testimony. Remember, the Fed is keen to gauge market reaction to anything he might say. Jobless Claims data were marginally better than expected but still over 400K for t Read More »

BOSTON (TheStreet) -- Mutual fund managers are turning to Google and Delta Airlines to make money before companies report second-quarter results, which may show that profit growth is slowing. Still, corporate earnings kept rising, even as unemployment remains high and consumers curb spending.

Speaking for myself, and after nearly 37 years of being in the business, I can't remember a period of such despair for the country's future. But, I'll snap out of it, um maybe. The country has been in a bad spot the past few years transcending two administrations. Sure, QE and QE2 plus ZIRP have driven stock prices higher previously but little else has improved. Unemployment, housing, debt, w Read More »

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Exchange-traded fund investors have recently been given a path, if they want it, to a previously difficult to access -- but potentially very important investment theme -- with the Global X Fishing Industry ETF .

Thursday was a quiet day in trading but disappointing economic news still dominated. Jobless Claims came in beneath expectations despite being slightly better than the previous week; however, the four-week moving average is 30K higher. Chain Store sales were disappointing with pundits blaming the weather again. Factory Orders missed consensus forecasts at -1.2%. Lastly, not that it's much of a Read More »

Another day and another light volume rally in stocks. Investors continued to hedge this action by buying precious metals.

BOSTON (TheStreet) -- There was no immediate impact on the municipal bond market decision today when Standard & Poor's dropped the United State's long-term credit outlook to "negative" from "stable."

Investors in municipal bonds may have good reason to fear national wo Read More »

The president told us to go buy a new fuel efficient car and trade in your gas guzzler. You'll be thrilled at the price the dealer will give you; the president assured you of this the other day.
