However, what's happened of late is that after a down open, we've seen money come back into domestic equities. That's driven Continue Reading...

As the polls anticipated, French voters elected Socialist Party leader François Hollande as president, dumping the more conservative incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy in the process. By voting for a national leader who has blatantly railed against the German-led European Union bailout plan, French citizens made it clear that they weren't about to kowtow to their historical rivals, summarily rejecting the notion of austerity plans as the panacea to France's fiscal woes. Hollande's victory was a definite Continue Reading...

Stocks hit a tough stretch these past 10 days, as the S&P 500 has pulled back 4% from an intraday high of 1415 on May 1 to 1357.99 today.

Thank you for your terrific initial advice. I subscribed on 12/26/05 and bought positions in FMCN, TOMO, and MOT the next day on the 27th. At the end of today, only two weeks later, I have gained 36.37% with FMCN, 8.71% with TOMO, and 4.23% with MOT. Granted that we have been in a rally, but gains like that in only 14 days are spectacular. I also appreciate your having been rapidly on the ball with your analysis of the PD debacle today -- I was wondering whether to buy based on your initial recommendation, and held off to see if you would comment. I'm glad I did.
