Is the Dow Starting to Stall?

The way we finish going into the close today will determine the direction of the market for the mid term. We are at or near resistance in the DOW, S&P and NASDAQ. The close and even tomorrow are critical for the next 60 days.

Dear World: Please Stop Lending the U.S. Money

In an age where we can all run to our computers-- or phones and manipulate our personal our asset allocation, this may be true.

Balancing California's Budget: The Home Game

As a private worker I have interacted with multiple public agencies at the city, county and state level in California. Most of these people move at the speed of a desert turtle beaten down by the Mojave heat and are near impossible to fire. It is an epidemic of laziness brought upon by fears of litigious complants to the supervisor that attempts to create efficency in thier organization.

How Low Can the S&P 500 Go?

Mr. Hill,
I really tried to read your article but as a fellow Californian you lost me on the Merlot.

Snapshot: Apple's Cash Growth

Turley, great point. Unfortunately, I have probably lost more money due to this very reason. I would have sold my Apple at the 120-140 mark but thought that due to this large position of cash it would be able to continue to advance its products when others were unable to spend R&D dollars. Am I still making the same mistake? (Long AAPL)

Watch for Yourself: 60 Minutes Oil Story Was Spot On

I'm not very smart, but I do know this....

1. I place a sell order.
2. Oil ticks down.
3. I buy to cover.
4. Oil ticks up.

The Delta between the uptick and downtick is not always equal. Therefore, the market is affected by my order.

30-Year FRM Rates: Who Says Lower Rates Won't Do Much Good?

I'm 28, married with a 6 month old and deployed to Iraq. Oh yea, I'm from Orange County. I'm coming back to the US with a boat load of cash and the ability to get a VA no money down loan. I'm going to rent. Once inflation causes rates to rise again (and housing prices to fall further) I'll buy my family's home.
