Welcome to your weekend, traders! This week revolved around the Fed’s rate-tweaking announcement on Wednesday, plus the classic good-and-bad news mix. Top in the good-news? Home-sales data continues to improve, although tentatively. The bad news? Three TARP-funded banks are already late with their payments. What was the hottest news in your trading week?We’ve got another fresh crop of Leaderboard entrants this week. Welcome and congrats to LA CENICIENTA, Robsta90rs, Recycle, and DAVID B. Nice trading!
Are you officially a bear yet? Quite a few conversations happening simultaneously about whether the market is poised to tank or rally once more. Jump into the fray in any of these forum threads.
If you’re dabbling in AIG, SAY, FSLR (or any of the solar stocks), we’ve got some great discussions humming about those, too.
I’m keeping this post short – because I’m writing from the Bahamas! When I noticed I had almost no meetings scheduled for Thursday or Friday – a super-rare occurrence – I knew it was a sign to take some much-needed R&R with my girl. We’ll be snorkeling through crystal-blue waters this afternoon – look for the pictures coming soon on this blog!
Enjoy your weekend, everyone…
