Doldrums Before the Rally? | Alan Steel Asset ManagementWill the grandly feared and assured "corrective wave", about which the herd is convinced must always follow rallies, arrive as more of a ripple than a full-blown tsunami?

The Chop Is Working | Alan Steel Asset ManagementThe earnings season is ranking up there near record territory for earnings and revenue beats. In fact it's one of the healthier quarters in recent history, dating back to pre-crisis levels.
As the earnings season nears record territory - one of the healthier 1/4's in recent history! - why is the media reporting Armageddon?
Keeps us all nice and grumpy :-)
Can you be specific? What Armageddon? Does this relate in any way to Donald Trump? ;-)
What Armageddon indeed. My point is that US earnings are still blowing away expectations , and still the media stuically ignore them , concentrating instead on their versions of bad news .
And why they do this is one of life's mysteries . They say bad news sells Newspapers , yet every year brings further falling sales of traditional newspapers . Coincidence ?
Don't follow the link you make to Trump , tho have to say there's every chance … he's changed his mind on the big spend as he begins to realise it is probably a waste of money , as evidence supports Golf is suffering from overspend and falling demand thro Demographic changes. More
... oh, it's just that le Donald is in the press far too often for my taste, and seems to own everything he touches, and therefore, like a mountain where I come from, is so large he carries with him his own weather system. I just wondered if perhaps he is now controlling the economy in general. ;-)
It is interesting to me that the media continues to focus its little badger nose on every … possible worm it can uncover, when I, for one, have pretty much stopped listening to a lot of news (especially on television) because it's just such a Chinese water torture drip drip drip of misery. Now I read my torture, selectively, on line, and can at least read it in a happy tone of voice, rather than in the tone the BBC announcer moans on in.More
