Moody's, France, the SUPERCOMMITEE, you name it!  It's all toxic for the market!

Traders looking for good news are going to be hard-pressed this week, as everything seems to be "hitting the fan" at the same time.

We have Moody's Investor Services warning about a possible downgrade to France's credit and it all seems to be feeding off itself.  Let's not forget the other credit bombs like Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland.  This is one mega-mess that is not going to be easily gotten out of.

SUPERCOMMITTEE, EUROPE, and other big problems for the markets

This week I want to give credit where credit is due. One thing that Washington does really well, is they know how to name things, have you noticed that? Remember these names? The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Shovel Ready Jobs, or my favorite, "Cash for Clunkers" remember that one?

Now comes the SUPERCOMMITTEE, it's not just a committee, it's a SUPERCOMMITTEE with no space. I keep thinking to myself, what is a SUPERCOMMITTEE, how is it different from a committee? In fact, I was so intrigued that I looked up SUPERCOMMITTEE in the dictionary, the word doesn't even exist. Like a lot of things in Washington these days, it's all about smoke and mirrors, followed by no substance.

On the 23rd of this month, just before Thanksgiving, the so-called SUPERCOMMITTEE is going to come out with their recommendations, it's not going to happen. Chances are, the report/recommendations will be delayed until the following week. If anyone's good at kicking the can down the road, it's Washington.

Another fly in the ointment for the markets this coming week, is the Continue reading "Weekend Update: SUPERCOMMITTEE, EUROPE, and other big problems for the markets."

It's Friday and we know what that means!

As we move into the trading day, the equity markets are all lower for the week.  Many of the markets came under pressure this past week, including crude oil which looks like it is going to close lower for the week after reaching a six month high earlier in the week.  This is not a particularly positive sign for this market.

Let me begin by thanking everyone who watched our show last night at 5 PM. Jeremy and I had a great time and we covered many of the markets that are moving today. If you did not see the show, you can watch it here.

The overall market action yesterday was not good with the warning from FITCH about European bank losses. The bank stocks were a disaster and appear as though they are anticipating further problems in Europe.

Europe, of course, is on the minds of every trader to the point where it's overshadowing all other thoughts on the market. As said earlier this week, "reality is slowly sinking into the markets." Continue reading "What the FITCH!"

A bigger problem than contagion: The human problem.

I was thinking about this last night... There isn't anyone I know that has the slightest clue what's going on! With all due respect to some very smart people, no one who is living today has lived through the type of problems we have right now in Europe.

So far, it has been all about changing the governments in Italy and in Greece, but the performance benchmarks and the austerity measures that need to be put in place present a huge challenge for the populations of those countries.

I want you to give up 20% of everything you have, right now. Would you be happy with that? Of course not, nobody would, but that is exactly what is going to be the BIG PROBLEM. I call it the human equation. Continue reading "A Bigger Problem Than Contagion, Is the Human Problem"
