Long-term investors know this (rate cut) is a green light to get back into the market.

There’s cautiousness about the interest-rate outlook — a bit of consolidation after very strong gains.

We think this bull has legs.

It’s just been a very quiet day. Nobody wants to make a big bet prior to tomorrow’s decision. People are pretty convinced that the Federal Reserve won’t make a change to rates but they want...

The signs of slowing are few and far between. I think it’s really the data between now and (the next meeting) that will determine whether it will be a quarter percentage or half percentage point...

The valuation gap between old economy stocks and new economy stocks is getting wider and wider. To me, it’s like a rubber band. You can only stretch it so far and eventually it’s going to...

Small business owners have a great stake not only in what’s going on in the stock market, but what’s happening in the overall economy as a result.

It’s (Johnson & Johnson) very reasonably priced, relative to its prospects, and while J&J may be at a yearly high, again, we think it is pretty close to its five-year low, if you are talking...

The last seven ‘bear’ markets — if you measure a bear market by a 20 percent drop — have quickly forecast economic recessions. For people with 90 percent of their net worth tied up in...

What you have going on in this market is a flight to quality, which is the blue chips, as tech stocks are priced to perfection.
