I usually begin these newsletters, and all issues of “Airelon's Market Tactics”, with general introductory comments that applies to the trading week ahead. After this, I usually discuss my “dividend investing” outlook, after which I discuss my “trading” outlook for the next week, concluding with a discussion of portfolio management; as it relates to the Model Portfolio that benchmarks the results of this newsletter.

Last week, we saw that the Federal Reserve raised the rate on an emergency lending 'window'.  The Fed Fund Prime Rate remains unchanged.  The U.S. Dollar skyrocketed, and then fell back towards it's range of the previous day.  What does this all mean for equities?  How does it affect my trading outlook?  Does this change my previous broad economic outlook?

I finished the last newsletter by mentioning that I would release another issue of "Airelon's Market Tactics" this morning.   And no, it's not because I wanted to stop writing and watch the Superbowl (Whichever side you were pulling for, it was a great game).  I had already written much of that issue of Airelon's Market Tactics on Saturday.

Airelon's Market Tactics 13.6

Uhhh ... ok ... what just happened?  The DOW sank 268 points.  Commodities fell through the floor.  The U.S. Dollar is soaring.  Why is this happening?  What is next?  Well, when it comes to 'what is next', I hope everyone remembers my typical response when I am asked what I think the market will do next ...

Airelon's Market Tactics 13.5

I just wanted to send out a brief note here folks. I wanted to keep my subscribers informed, as market events have changed quickly enough so that my outlook has sort of 'flipped' since I wrote Sunday's newsletter.  Much will depend on the markets reaction to the number at these levels, 45 minutes after the release.
