Hello….U.S. economic news was modestly encouraging, as jobless numbers fell, U.S. price indices stayed fairly flat, and home sales improved somewhat. The Chinese economy showed signs of slowing, while German economic sentiment rebounded.

A steady stream of corporate earnings reports were mixed. Many reflected the challenges faced by large U.S. banks. Others, including earnings results from U.S. technology giants, were more encouraging. Stocks rose overall globally, and U.S. Treasury yields rose as demand for the safe-haven securities eased, reflecting improved investor sentiment.

For the week we took out 25.6 points in closed trades to move us to 37.8 the month and year. A phenomenal start

Remember… Each point = $1 in profits x the number of shares you would normally trade… So if you would have been trading in all the positions with us with an average of 1000 shares per lot you would have theoretically made $25,600

Markets were flat overall for the week, as a mixed bag of U.S. economic reports balanced slightly positive indications from the eurozone. The most disappointing U.S. economic news was a fairly sharp rise in U.S. initial jobless claims. Countering that was a U.S. Federal Reserve Board report noting widespread improvement in economic activity in the final six weeks of 2011 along with a jump in U.S. consumer credit and consumer sentiment.

Markets came under pressure on Friday after news that credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s is reportedly going to announce a multi-country credit downgrade after the close

For the week we took out 12.2 points in closed trades to move us to 12.2 the month and year.

Stocks declined this week as ongoing concerns about the eurozone debt crisis forced investors to the sidelines. The cost of insuring against a default on European sovereign debt approached record levels amid the ongoing search for an exit strategy that is acceptable to all. Investor disappointment that the U.S. Federal Reserve Board refrained from taking new action to bolster U.S. growth further pressured markets.

The U.S. economy continued to demonstrate surprising resiliency in the face of the European debt crisis. The Labor Department reported that weekly jobless claims had fallen to their lowest level since May 2008. A closely watched regional manufacturing gauge also improved, and investors were encouraged by healthy shipping volumes reported by FedEx, often considered a bellwether of economic activity.

For the week we took out 2.7 points in closed trades to move us to -2 the month but for the year we are now up 315.75

Hello…The broad indexes ended higher for the week as optimism about a resolution to the European debt crisis waxed, waned, and then waxed again. Stocks rallied on Monday in response to reports that the leaders of France and Germany had agreed on the outlines of new rules that would allow tighter integration of European economies. As an important meeting of European leaders in Brussels approached on Friday, however, investors grew increasingly concerned that the latest rescue plan would once again prove insufficient.. A rise in a gauge of U.S. consumer sentiment to a six-month high may have also boosted investors’ outlook.

For the week we gave back 4.7 points in closed trades to start the month but for the year we are now up 313.05
