I don't see any last-day-of-the-year rebound. I think it will be more of the same tomorrow. |
I don't view the market as risky or dangerous even in spite of more Fed tightening. We have enough value in U.S. and international growth stocks. What's holding stocks back right now is uncertainty about interest rates, not valuation. |
I would infer from the statement that the Fed is somewhat more sanguine on the economic recovery. Perhaps they believe that $55 oil prices are, at least for the time being, something of the past and that jobs are just improving at a moderate pace. |
I would not expect investors and traders to make any big bets ahead of the number tomorrow. It clues us in on growth in the economy but also inflation. |
I'm not convinced we're heading into a recession. But we will have a slow down. |

Investing in a mutual fund is like riding in a bus; your progress depends in large part on other people and what they're doing. An exchange-traded fund is closer to riding in your own car. |
Investors are taking stock of earnings and questioning whether they should be as optimistic as they are. |
Investors have their rally caps on for year end, and we're doing it with speculation. With a good inflation report and strong growth, it seems to be the perfect elixir for Wall Street. |
It seems like the market is obsessing on this bond market fallout, which was somewhat precipitated by the move to raise (interest rates) in Japan. A lot of the fuel that has been used to invest in this bond market has been derived from 'easy money' in Japan. |

It was probably one of the quietest days of the year. We started the day with good news on weaker oil [prices] but bad news on housing sales. |
