Pundits keep talking things up but who's left to listen? We rallied initially on better economic data (below) but there's a dark cloud over the market and quadwitching is ahead Friday. Adding to the uncertainty was influential Goldman Sachs strategist Jan Hatzius who commented: "A reduction in the lending of foreign banks to U.S. counterparties could have a meaningful impact on U.S. growth."& Read More »

BOSTON (TheStreet) -- What if investors knew which stocks the best mutual fund managers were buying? Now that's possible. Morningstar, the fund-ratings firm, tracks a group of what it calls its top managers of mutual funds to see what they own. Even the most successful mutual funds this year have fought to retain investors as U.S. stock funds suffered outflows of around $45 billion during the Read More »

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- With growth in China slowing, the country's stocks have been pummeled. For the year so far, China region mutual funds have dropped 22.0%, lagging the S&P 500 by more than 20 percentage points and ranking as the worst performing category tracked by Morningstar. Now some portfolio managers argue that the stocks have gotten cheap. Steve Cao, portfolio manager of Invesco Asia Read More »

How do they arrive at a number like "zero"? The BLS must round up or down by the thousands. This was said to be the worst unemployment report since 1945. Some wanted to spin it allowing for Verizon workers on strike but then those same folks didn't allow for striking Minnesota government workers who returned to work. The actual unemployment rate, excluding those who have dropped-off the rolls, Read More »

Usually when I post an image and headline like this conditions quickly reverse the very next day. And here it is only Wednesday and it's almost a perfect storm of bad news. I say "almost perfect" because earnings reports overall are still pretty good with some stellar results from Boeing (BA) and Amazon (AMZN). Of course we can ignore a few bad apples like Juniper Networks (JNPR) and Corning (G Read More »

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- In January 2010, I wrote about a relatively new and innovative mutual fund called the Collar Fund which is managed by Summit Portfolio Advisors. The basic strategy of the Collar Fund is to buy stocks with a combination of attractive fundamentals and attractive options premiums. Simultaneous to buying a stock the fund will sell a call option approximately 10% out of the 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.

There wasn't any consequential good news. Jobless Claims remain pitiful but some found a thin reed within the trade deficit data to rally on. But, as we posted Wednesday, the big reason to rally was the oversold McClellan Oscillator with a reading greater than -60. This usually signals a bounce and that's primarily what I take from Thursday. Secondarily we must remember a large quantity of PO Read More »

Now that's not a very creative headline is it? I'll bet there are at least a dozen like it; but, there's only so much room for creativity, and besides, who cares.

The range of forecasts was between 90-200K new j Read More »

BOSTON (TheStreet) -- Being labeled a "closest indexer" is akin to wearing the scarlet letter in the mutual fund industry. The moniker implies that a manager is shadowing his fund's benchmark index in portfolio makeup and performance rather than proving his stock-picking ability and earning the advisory fee charged to investors. Funds that are benchmarked to the S&P 500 Index are the easiest to Read More »

Everything was going along just fine for markets even absorbing Tunisia and Egypt well. But then the contagion continued to Libya, Bahrain, Yemen, Kuwait and so forth.
