Market Overview
Today in Market History
On July 23, 1996, the Dow fell 44.39 points, the third consecutive day of 35+ point falls, totaling 117.63 points in three days (over 2%). The market was rallying early on Tuesday, July 23, but in the early afternoon, Elaine Garzarelli issued a sell signal, and the Dow sold off rapidly after that. The Dow closed at 5346.55. A year later, however, it was up 50% (to 8000+) and 100% by 1999.

Enjoy the Rally and Start Buying StocksJamie Dlugosch, InvestorPlaceLast week the market rallied, and some will claim this is nothing more than a dead cat bounce and a short covering move higher. I disagree completely. This rally has legs, and you would be wise to take advantage by establishing long positions, abandoning commodities and covering your shorts. |
How to Profit in Emerging MarketsJeff Manera, G3 Global OptionsCrude oil prices are lingering at painful highs, the financial crisis continues and the Consumer Price Index made its biggest 12-month jump since 1991.
