At the end of 2012, the financial markets experienced a very dramatic event: The Fiscal Cliff. Dramatic might be too strong of a word, but it seemed that way because we didn't stop hearing about it in the media. It was even the lead story on the national evening news every night for a week. [...]
The financial media continues to say that this week is the 8 year anniversary of the Bull Market that began in March 2009. In this interview for Yahoo Finance, I explain why this is a NEW Bull Market that started in July 2016 and how we still have more room to go. I can be [...]
Back in April 2016, when the Dow was 17,500, I made a call for Dow 20,000 by the end of 2016. At the time, no one on Wall Street was making this call and the majority of money managers were extremely bearish. The main point of this call was not to reach an exact number, [...]

I have no problem with that part but I did have a problem with people reacting on emotion rather than using rational [...]
I'm writing this post very late on Tuesday night with the Dow Futures down over -700 points. It's late, we're all exhausted, but I'd like to make a few points: 1) If you are being a drama queen about this election, please stop! This isn't "the worst thing that has happened to you in your [...]
