Karson Keith’s Options Insight:
Buying the Election. QE3 Flop?

It is no secret that during an election year the market usually finishes higher. This year we have a president that is more determined than ever to “buy” the election.

Monster’s Perspective:
Does Capital Expenditure at AAPL
Signal MONSTER Holiday Season?

The time of year is probably even more important than news events as summer vacations have slowed trading activity to a crawl. Equities have melted higher during July and August and are now drifting near multiyear highs. On the bearish side, investors see debt problems in Europe and lackluster growth globally.
