US: +1 (877) 51 POWER 
Europe: +44 (0) 207 198 1634 Good morning. If you recall yesterday when I wrote this Report the Dow was up 70 points and I mentioned that it was a nice start but as in life it’s how you finish. And equities did not finish well yesterday. Indeed it appears the “pop” we had Friday and yesterday morning was the opportunity […]

The Dow lost 28 points to 17,043, the S&P 500 fell 6 to 1,973 (now well below 2,000) and the Nasdaq dropped 12 to 4,493. Other than the fact the length (time) of this bull market is in record territory and “tired” and in […]
