  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 28, 2007 Sometimes I have to reach back to 35 years of Hawaiian vocabulary to sum-up current conditions. Kapukahi [Kah-pooh-KAH-hee] comes to mind which means roughly what the headline reads. Anyway, things are pretty screwed-up in any language and investors will just have to let the dust settle before reaching for their wallets again Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 27, 2007 Complacency is the prime killer for most investors. The longer things continue to go your way conventional risks become ignored until “bam” you’re taken by surprise. I can’t count the number of times we’ve posted various Emerging Market charts with warnings about the potential for rapid and serious corrections such as witnessed last summer Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 26, 2007 Has anybody spotted Gordon Gecko snooping around Wall & Broad? Today began another round of LBOs or in contemporary terms, “private equity” transactions beginning first with TXU [Texas Utilities] and later rumors of a bid forthcoming for Dow Chemical Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 22, 2007 I’ve been listening closely but the fat lady ain’t singin’ just yet for gold bulls. And, with tomorrow being Friday she’ll have a chance for a curtain call over the weekend. We’ll just have to wait and see Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 21, 2007 I did point-out a “gold smackdown” just yesterday didn’t I? Fed Governor Susan Bies also said just yesterday that everything with interest rates, inflation, housing and the economy was just dandy didn’t she? This is another example of why predicting the news cycle and markets is a silly and unreliable effort Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 20, 2007 It’s useless to argue with current thinking when it’s in command. The historical correlation between gold and crude oil prices is not that reliable. But if it’s what some pundits wish to use to explain the smackdown in gold today then they’ll use that until they can’t Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 15, 2007 We wish to announce the completion of our second podcast interview with the Emerging Markets Monitor [London].

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 14, 2007 Investors were looking for a catalyst and Bernanke delivered by not saying much of anything new. I’ll bet the Fed has focus groups that gather about and test various presentations that the Chairman could use to either “soothe” investors [a much mentioned description the past few days] or throw a “change-up” to scare them Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 13, 2007 The movie was made in 1977 and here’s a photo of “Bee-Gee” Ben from about the same time. He was probably having more fun then--I know I was. All that aside, bullish investors are waiting for soothing words from Bernanke as he begins testifying tomorrow Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 12, 2007 One way or another investors need a catalyst. When none is perceived profit-taking ensues. Friday and today contained no stimulus, volume was relatively light and markets fell across the board Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 8, 2007 “But I make the weather!” Phil Connors A scene from movie favorite “Groundhog Day” seems appropriate today as the weather folks said, “Sorry folks, two more weeks of cold weather.” So this drives up crude oil which rose 3% today after falling 2% yesterday Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 6, 2007 It seemed like not too much happened by the end of trading today particularly in US markets. So if you’re going to write any commentary you have to look more closely to find something worthwhile Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 5, 2007 On a quiet day for most market sectors let’s talk about one of my least favorite subjects--arbitration. I’ve been an NASD and NFA arbitrator for over a decade. Despite all the pressure from both organizations to remain active, I’ve yet to be asked to work a case Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top

  David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT February 1, 2007 The global liquidity binge has been begging the question, “What is the value of money today?” I read today that Equity Office Properties may be purchased for $38 billion; Tom Blixseth is building a house in Bozeman, Mt that he will offer for $155 million, Roman Abramovich is building a new yacht for $400 million and if you’re a baseball fan you know the Boston Red Sox spent $51 million just to be able to sign a pitcher for an additional $50 million or so Read More Posted by fryguy 0 Comments Go to top
