It's remarkable to think that the anniversary of the 1,000 point drop in the Dow Jones on August 24, 2015 is just two days away. The market certainly has a different outlook now compared to then. Not just in the markets, it really is crazy how much can change in...
It's truly hard to believe that Labor Day Weekend is only a couple weeks away at this point. Pretty soon everything will be pumpkin-flavored once again (not complaining). We've seen a roller coaster type year in the markets so far. A double digit plunge in January...
The seemingly never ending game of 'when will the Fed raise rates' continues. The Fed minutes are being released today, and with word yesterday that a September rate hike isn't out of the question, who knows what will happen. As with everything though, we'll just...
"What could go wrong here?" is a very powerful question to ask periodically. Aetna announces a $200 million loss from Obamacare. They forgot about Dental When I started at EF Hutton back in 1983, people told me not to take a job there. "They don't offer dental" I was...
Looks like the heat here in Central Jersey is finally starting to break a little bit. Hopefully the 'hot streak' of the major indices continues though! Just an FYI: I'm going to have one of my brothers post my Top Links for tomorrow. I will be out of the office,...

We've hit yet another summer weekend here in August. The first Friday in August called for the August Jobs Report. With the numbers coming in higher than expected, the Dow Jones, S&p 500, and Nasdaq are all up nicely this morning. Hopefully that can last...

I don't know about you guys, but the weather down here at the Jersey Shore certainly doesn't feel like early August. It's giving off much more of a late September vibe, and I am LOVING it! Anyway, enough small talk. Here's what I've been reading this morning: 'The...
