So far, the markets are generally positioning themselves for a turn at the end of September. The Dow has traded sideways since Thursday, trying to cling to the rebound. We need a closing today ABOVE 17007 to firm up the market, and a closing below 16632 will warn that the Dow is weak going into […]

QUESTION: What would you advise Trump if he asked? ANSWER: When I debated Steve Forbes and New Jersey Governor Jim Florio who lost because he kept raising taxes, I converted Florio.

It is interesting to watch just how upset the press is about Donald Trump. The latest poll shows that 60% of the women in the Republican Party support Trump. The press is just beside themselves after Fox News’ Megyn Kelly tried so desperately to paint Trump as anti-women. That has come back to haunt her for the more the media […]
