On Friday the 13 th global investors received two pieces of disturbing news. S&P downgraded nine of the 17 countries in the euro zone, including AAA rated France, and Greece was unable to get private bond holders to renegotiate terms. The posturing...

After delivering about break-even performance for 2011, the S&P 500 is off to a strong start in 2012. Unfortunately small U.S. company , international developed country, and emerging country stocks all suffered significant declines in 2011. This will...
Headlines & Market Similar to 2008

Brian Dightman
Are investors facing an environment eerily reminiscent of 2008? The news out of Europe could easily be compared to U.S. housing and mortgage headlines in 2008 and the technical action of stock prices looks similar. Is it possible we are entering a "here...

Technical analysis can be helpful to an investor. I use a variety of technical tools in my assessment of markets but recognize their limitations and how to deal with them. There are a few technical indicators that I place more emphasis on than others...
Leading Stocks - A Conflicted Market

U.S. stocks have been struggling for nearly two months now. Early in the correction I made some defensive moves, not because U.S. stocks indexes started to see big declines, but because those declines were accompanied by warnings about a global economic...

Will Stock Market Gains Hold?

Brian Dightman
As the pattern of global economic data of less negative numbers continues, a shift may be taking place in asset pricing. Two possible reasons among many: 1) Asset prices are taking a break from the rapid appreciation realized since March 2) Economic data...
Rally Reversed

Brian Dightman
You may have noticed U.S. stock indexes moving higher over the last month, offering some hope we may have found a market bottom. Unfortunately, this does not appear to be the case as many indexes failed a major test in the last few days. There were some...
The Buy & Hold Portfolio

Brian Dightman
The following is a modified post I recently made on Marketwatch.com. It is hard to argue with a buy and hold investment strategy, until you look at the numbers. It took the S&P 500 7 YEARS to get back to even from the high hit in March of 2000. Now...

Brian Dightman
For those that have read my GMM posts over the last few months, you may have picked up on my skepticism regarding the rally stocks embarked on since the middle of March. Yes, prices have moved up aggressively but without the volume characteristics generally...

If you have been following the credit market mess you probably saw the news yesterday that Lehman Brothers may need to raise more cash. That is really no surprise to people following credit market developments. I posted on the subject May 23rd. Strength...

Brian Dightman
After three straight weekly gains, it is not surprising stock markets suffered losses last week. It still remains to be seen whether we have started a sustainable rally; how the S&P 500 moves relative to its 200 day moving average may shed light on...
