Good morning It is Fed day so the markets could be impacted. I think that the rate increase is expected and probably already baked in. As usual the focus will be on what is said in the statement and how aggressive or timid the Fed sounds about the economy and further rate increases. If the Fed sounds hawkish that could give a boost to the dollar and if he sounds dovish then we could see the dollar weaken. A strong dollar could put ..

Read MoreHappy Saturday I hope you are having a great weekend. After going through my index and sector scan there is probably reason to be a bit cautious next week.

Read MoreGood morning I Hope you are having a great weekend. Equity sectors and indexes look strong technically >I know that there are a lot of people out there waiting for the bottom to fall out and a bear market to begin but there is nothing that I can see, that indicates it will happen anytime soon. Maybe, what I should say is, I don't see it happening in the upcoming week. There are a lot of great..
Read MoreGood morning The huge run in the cannabis sector may be coming to an end. We have seen this movie before and know how it ends so be very careful if you are still playing in the space.
