David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 24, 2007 Just when you thought Greenspan alone might send the markets reeling, ideas that interest rates might be “increased” due to stronger than expected economic data sent bulls to the exits. No doubt they’re already on the road to the Hampton’s for the holiday weekend...(read more)

David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 23, 2007 Greenspan, Stock Jockey Gee, and I thought he was a bond guy. Today things were going along pretty smoothly until Greenspan started talking up his short position [who’s he kidding!] in Chinese stocks by saying that a “dramatic contraction” could occur...(read more)

David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 22, 2007 SPIDERMAN SPOTTED IN CHINA!!!! Does the image above mean anything? Nope, not a damn thing! I just thought it was cool. No wait, the US and China are holding trade talks and maybe something good will come of it...(read more)

David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 21, 2007 The NASDAQ and Small-Caps had their turn today while the DJIA took a break. This is encouraging for bulls IF it holds. While we’re on energy let’s look at DBE which provides commodity exposure to crude oil, heating oil, gasoline and small weighting in natural gas...(read more)

David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 17, 2007 The stock market is a little tired. Friday’s option expiration is upon us and could give us some strange action even though lately the affair has been business as usual. The big news today was Bernanke chatting about the subprime market problems being no big deal and that things will work themselves out...(read more)

David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 16, 2007 A little financial wizardry today as bulls were stimulated to buy primarily by big money commitments from Icahn and Buffett in railroads and Lampert’s gambit with Citigroup. As to the latter I wonder what Sandy Weil would think if C gets broken-up into little pieces...(read more)

fryguy — Tue, 15 May 2007 22:00:00 GMT

David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 15, 2007 The Fed is concerned about inflation and has us focused on the “core rate” exclusively. At the same time we’re told that inflation is contained or benign. But the Fed keeps worrying aloud about inflation...(read more)

David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 14, 2007 Looks can be deceiving. While the DJIA posted a small gain today owing to the Chrysler deal the rest of the market put on a pretty pathetic show. Volume was so-so and the following advance/decline data was more revealing as to the true nature of the day’s action...(read more)

David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 10, 2007 Chucky is on the ropes…again. With stocks much overbought it wasn’t going to take much to bring out sellers. If Chucky [the consumer you can’t kill] is done then many will start to contemplate the prospects for the global economy so dependent on US consumer spending...(read more)

David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 9, 2007 I thought we might have another “Big Wednesday” but it was just business as usual. The Fed did its thing and even those highly trained at parsing the text were disappointed. But, hey, the markets were up so who’s to complain? Let’s get to it...(read more)

David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 8, 2007 Investors are waiting for market moving news. Today there was some tension but bidders took care of any selling and kept markets well pegged supported. Tomorrow the Fed will do its thing and much language parsing will follow; energy inventories will be watched; then Thursday is the Trade Deficit; and Friday Retail Sales and PPI...(read more)

David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 7, 2007 As far as stocks are concerned, “bigger is better”. Giant deals and rumors of more by giant players continue to drive big-caps higher. For us little people, if we’re invested with them its fun and profitable...(read more)

David Fry ( ETF Digest ) Submits: MARKET COMMENT May 3, 2007 You think I’m going to speak to the stock market rally right? Well maybe later in this brief commentary. No, today is about the frustrations associated with what seem attractive new ETF issues but the clumsiness associated with providing schmo’s like me with timely and detailed historical index data...(read more)
