MONDAY:   Happy Boxing Day

TUESDAY:    Looks like maybe another quiet day in what could be a quiet week and maybe even a quiet end to the new year

WEDNESDAY:  More quietude appears to be in store today as the futures are still in bed, not having gotten out of there since sometime a week ago

THURSDAY:  A surprising decline yesterday looks like it will be followed by the more normal slumber, today

FRIDAY:. It looks as if 2016 may go out on the quiet side, bringing a pretty good year to an end. Sorry to see it go, actually in many ways.

I hope that 2017 brings the best for everyone in all of the ways that really matter

MONDAY:   A quiet week ahead? The week does look as if it will get off to a calm start as there has to be talk of strategic tax selling over the next 2 weeks

TUESDAY:    Looks like maybe another quiet day in what could be a quiet week and maybe even a quiet end to the new year

WEDNESDAY:  It looks as if today may be another day to get off to a slow start, but the move is still in one direction only as trading for 2016 nears its end.

THURSDAY:  Another quiet day appears to be on tap, but the GDP may change that, although not too likely unless it is really, really out of the park

FRIDAY:. Maybe yet another quiet one while everyone is out shopping instead of shopping for stocks







MONDAY:   The week looks as if it might get off to a slow start ahead of the FOMC, as the Trump Rally went unabated last week.

TUESDAY:    The FOMC meeting that we’ve been waiting for all year begins today, but the Trump Rally doesn’t look as if it wants to take a break

WEDNESDAY:  All focus on the FOMC today, as the futures are taking a much needed breath

THURSDAY:  Three interest rate hikes projected for 2017, instead of just 2, spooked the markets yesterday. Maybe today will bring a little calm and take us nicely to 2017.

FRIDAY:. All appears quiet to end the week.







MONDAY:   It looks as if the market may be ready to resume the Trump Rally as the week gets underway

TUESDAY:    Maybe another day of rest today, but the trend is pretty clear.

WEDNESDAY:  More DJIA records yesterday. Maybe a rest today as the rest of the world see their markets advance

THURSDAY:  Well, yesterday was an unexpected surprise. A good one, at that, as the Trump Rally just keeps getting better and better, making it seem less likely that there might be any kind of adverse reaction, including a delayed one, to the upcoming FOMC decision

FRIDAY:. Quite a week, with next week being the FOMC’s long awaited interest rate hike announcement. That may begin the real rally, really distinguishing it from last year’s post-announcement reaction







MONDAY:   The next few weeks will be focusing on the FOMC, but first we have to deal with this week’s GDP and Employment SItuation Report

TUESDAY:    It looks as if it may be another quiet day today, but the rest of the week may have reasons to react, or at least convince itself that it has reasons to react.

WEDNESDAY:  An increased GDP reported yesterday and who knows what comes on Friday, as the Employment SItuation Report is released? But most everyone knows what to expect in just 2 weeks as the FOMC meets and the market appears ready to accept an interest rate increase – as long as it’s a small one and doesn’t happen too often.

THURSDAY:  OK. December. The final dash is underway.

FRIDAY:. Employment Situation Report comes this morning and could swing market toward gains if the numbers convince everyone that the uncertainty is over. Of course, if the numbers aren’t so good, the market hates newly sown doubt.
