<title>Sticking to the Script</title>
<description><![CDATA[Perky rally we've had so far in July -- up 850 Dow points from the month's closing low, set July 2.  I'm still rooting for a strong end to the year, which will leave the market comfortably in the green.  But first, stocks have got a few more rivers to cross in late summer and early fall.]]></description>

<title>Conflicting Evidence</title>
<description><![CDATA[Well, I've got good news and not-so-good news.  The good news:  Wall Street gave us a strong rally today, the ninth (can you believe it, <i>ninth</i>?) session since the April market top that upside share volume on the NYSE has swamped downside volume by a 9:1 margin.]]></description>

<title>Switch-Hitters Win</title>
<description><![CDATA[It looked, this morning, as if Wall Street was brewing up another losing session.  IBM and Texas Instruments came in last night with slightly soft Q2 sales numbers.  And the June housing-starts report was a downer (549,000 units, lowest since October 2009).]]></description>

<title>Relief from the Gulf</title>
<description><![CDATA[Could have been worse -- a lot worse.  Stocks took a hit in the early going today as weak manufacturing reports from New York and Philadelphia cast more doubt on the strength of the economic recovery.  As the day wore on, though, the news flow shifted for the better -- and the blue chip indexes finished the session largely unchanged.]]></description>

<title>The Other Side of Panic</title>
<description><![CDATA[Isn't it amazing how crowd psychology can spin on a dime?  Like minnows in your livingroom aquarium, the panicky sellers of six days ago are now darting enthusiastically to the buy side -- with seemingly little or no real news to swing them around.]]></description>

<title>A Hat Trick at Last</title>
<description><![CDATA[Well, how about that!  Stocks surged today, with the Dow's 121-point gain marking the first time since April that the blue chips have put together three winning sessions in a row.  Even better, the market rallied in the last hour, instead of fading out as has so often happened during this dismal 'correction.']]></description>

<title>Keep Your Fingers Crossed</title>
<description><![CDATA[Can the stock market pull out of its 10-week tailspin?  We're about to find out.  Investors came back from the long Independence Day weekend in a buying mood, but today's effort fell short in some important respects.]]></description>

<title>Accumulating Worries</title>
<description><![CDATA[Old Will Shakespeare, as usual, had it right: 'When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions.'  As if a miserable Q2 for the stock market wasn't bad enough, sellers descended like hornets as the first trading day of the new quarter dawned.  Fortunately, the dumping spree subsided as the session wore on.]]></description>

<title>Stark Alternatives</title>
<description><![CDATA[So which is it?  The folks at the <i>Wall Street Journal</i> argue that positive Q2 corporate earnings may 'surprise' the stock market's bears.  Meanwhile, their colleagues across the hall at <i>Barron's</i> say <i>BULLS ARE IGNORING THE ECONOMIC REALITIES.</i>]]></description>

<title>Heavy on the Ticker</title>
<description><![CDATA[<i>Friday wrap:</i>  Stocks hobbled to the finish line today, closing out a disappointing week that erased three-quarters of the gains the S&P 500 index had recorded in the previous two weekly frames.  The market's willingness to give ground -- lots of it, and fast -- is a caution sign as we move deeper into the seasonally shaky May-October period.]]></description>
