Someday I'll make it to one of these events, although realistically I doubt it will happen. It'd be cool, though.

Here’s our market view on American stock market for 10th October, 2008

The stock market has collapsed – since Sept. 19 the DJIA is down 25% and the S&P 500 is down 28% and down 42% from a year ago.

How can this happen so quickly and so dramatically when so many good things have occurred? Oil is down to $82 a barrel; interest rates are very low; the dollar is up; valuation levels are extremely attractive among many blue chip stocks.

What’s the real problem? The problem that is killing the stock market is a lack of hope about the future.

Hope springs from optimism that is based on facts and history. Look at the history of America and really all of mankind. Life is full of setbacks and problems – that’s just the deal. But this too shall pass, as all scary periods have.

Doomsayers have been around forever and their batting average is zero. Buying stock is based on hope – hope for the future. If one doesn’t have hope, they shouldn’t be in this business.

So what is the best service we, as professionals, can provide for our clients?

Thanks for sharing this info Ben,

Here’s our market view on American stock market for 13th October, 2008

You all know my opinion – we have the characteristics of at least “a” bottom. Look at the scoreboard – Dow and S&P 500 down 18% last week, in only a week. If that doesn’t show irrational dumping the only other environment that probably would is an official end of the world pronouncement from on high.

The VIX Index (69.96) soared to a record high; bears at extreme high levels, bulls no where to be found; valuation levels the best since Black Monday, October 19, 1987. And back then you could buy AAA long term munis yielding 10% or better vs. around 4.75% today.

No one can call bottom in advance with confidence, but we can correctly report that the conditions for at least a bounce are in place, assuming we are not headed for a 1929 depression.

We are not, but don’t take my word on this. Last Tuesday, Oct. 7, Gary Becker the 1992 Nobel economic laureate, professor of economics at the University of Chicago stated in the Wall Street Journal – “we’re not headed for a depression.”

He states, “World economic growth will recover once we are over the present severe difficulty.” Also he states, “Although it is the most severe financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930’s it is a far smaller crisis, especially in terms of the effects on output and employment.”

Here’s our market view on American stock market for 16th October, 2008

Stocks sold off sharply yesterday and the major averages have given back more than two thirds of the advance from last Friday’s lows to Tuesday’s highs.

The session got off to a bad start as investors began to react again to economic news: specifically, pre opening, the September retail sales and October Empire Manufacturing index were disappointing and stock futures sold off.

Pressure on the market came throughout the session on light volume in what we think was a classic buyers’ strike after the significant volatility the past few sessions.

Many market participants were just content to stand aside and let the dust settle. Adding to the selling pressure was further second guessing of the government’s rescue plan that we spoke of Tuesday carrying into yesterday’s session.

The CBOE Volatility Index, the VIX, rose more than 14 points to 69.25, just shy of its record close reached last Friday at 70. The CBOE NASDAQ 100 indicator reached a new new record close at 72.93.

The number of bulls in the Investors’ Intelligence survey fell to another multi-year low at 22.4%. The internals of the market were overwhelmingly negative: NYSE issues 8/1 negative and 97% of the volume to the downside. NASDAQ issues were 6/1 negative and 98% of the volume was to the downside.

Based on the extreme fear and dramatic sell-off on big volume last Friday, we believe the market has probably seen its lows for this bear market but a full retest is underway. Today – Worldwide markets were down overnight and U.S. stock futures are signaling flat to lower opening. Today will be a big test for the market.

luck and thanks for the blog

You had the Montreal Breakfast by the time I found this blog. But I must commend your choice because breakfast is my favorite time of the day. I don’t let my kids go to school without having a hot breakfast first. Steaming fried rice with fried eggs and hotdogs or a big bowl of oatmeal with milk . Good thing, I’m a morning person 😉

Thanks…

Selling is essential in any business.

Sometimes people think that they are pitching their ideas to robots. The people judging you are humans, and are influenced by the same psychological factors as you.

Therefore, you are 100% correct on this issue.

This seems to be interesting… Does anyone keep any recordings of the conversations made and topics discussed?

I usually dont have any energy by the end of the day if i dont have a breakfast

hello friend how are today????

Here the thing is quite different regarding breakfast ,I never let down myself for the morning breakfast which usually gives us energy early in the morning and that keep you fit for the whole day.

good idea

I am still out of town. I am passing this time…
