I finally found footage
Alpha and the Week Ahead
Fueled by a benign CPI report and a continuation in the recent mind boggling level of corporate deal making, U.S. Equity Markets continued their bull run this past week as most of the major averages posted gains. Grabbing the headlines’ almost daily are the record breaking closing numbers of the Dow Jones Industrial Index which is up 8.8% year-to-date followed by the S&P 500 Index up 7.6% and the NASDAQ Composite Index up 5.9%.
I’ve posted the complete notes for our Honeymoon (complete with bonus spelling errors!), and I’ll be adding more pictures over the next week or so.

Cary and I have been typing up notes about our honeymoon, but since we have to pay for internet access, we haven’t had a chance to post it online yet. I’ve posted up some quick notes on our trip so far. . .

Could this be the year?

Losing the NL Division title may have been the kick in the pants the team needed. It’s been 15 years since the Braves began their NL Championship streak (not counting the 1994 strike when there was no championship, of course), and 12 years since their 1995 World Series win. It’s about time for another one, I think.
When I first started this blog, I mentioned being at a Braves game in 1992 when Otis Nixon made a fabulous catch that robbed the Pirates of a game-tying home run late in the game. After a little searching, I finally found footage of the catch on Youtube (the footage starts at the 1:35 mark in the video, or the 3:00 mark if the counter is counting down):

This should be really exciting. It’s not to often that you get such a powerhouse match up this early in the season, but today we do. Texas has looked extremely solid on all aspects of their game and to date Duke has not. The Blue Devils have basically played to the cailber of the team they were matched up against and it took a last second shot to win one of them. This game will totally live up to the hype and in the end Duke will prevail.

Inability to post comments…

Ok, so for a while now, some people have mentioned that the menu sidebar overlaps the comments section of the page when you try posting a comment. As it turns out, this is a glitch that occurs only when you’re not logged in to the site, which explains why I never saw it.
It’s baseball season again, and only three games in, the Braves are showing promise. They swept the Phillies 3-0, which is a great way to start things off. It’s waaaay to early to make any predictions, but it feels good, anyway. Two of the three games were won with a extra-inning rallies, which was how the Braves won many games in their golden days in the early 90’s.

But more amazing are the less spotlighted gains of the Dow Jones Utilities (up 16.8% thus far in ’07), the Dow Jones Transports (up 14.3%), the S&P Mid Cap 400 (up 11.7%) and the Energy Index up (11.4%). We have focused on all of these sectors in our commentary over the past several months as recommended areas of alpha generation.
Despite the record highs in the major indexes, the technical condition of the market has deteriorated some this week. The advance/decline lines for both the NYSE and the NASDAQ lost some ground, a sign that the bullish momentum is losing strength. An abundance of liquidity continues to support this market along with a fair amount of skepticism on the sentiment front.
