His peers credit him with mitigating the deepest recession since the Great Depression, with less than a mth to go until his term ends, Ben Bernanke is hesitant to call his eight years as Federal Reserve Chairman a slam-dunk success." The recovery clearly remains incomplete," he said, in what sounded like a swan song speech at the American Economic Association's annual meeting in Philadelphia, Friday. Bernanke's term officially ends on Jan 31. Fed Vice-Chair Janet Yellen is expected to take the helm. (The Senate is scheduled to vote on her confirmation Monday evening). Among the unfinished business that concerns Bernanke: the unemployment rate at 7% " still is elevated," he said. Meanwhile, participation in the labor market has continued to decline, partly because workers remain discouraged about their job prospects. http://money.cnn.com/2014/01/03/news/economy/bernanke-speech-aea/index.html?iid=HP_LN

Stocks off to a lackluster start in 2014 It's only two days into 2014 for investors. But so far, it's looking nothing like 2013. After kicking off the new year with a loss, stocks ended Friday mixed.The Dow rose slightly while the S& P 500 and Nasdaq finished lower again, adding to Thursday's 1% declines. Volume remained low Friday, as a major snowstorm in the Northeast kept traders away at the end of the holiday-shortened week. European markets were higher while major Asian markets ended in the red, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropping by 2.2%. Markets in Shanghai and Tokyo were closed for an extended new year break. ////////////////////////////////////// Bloomberg U.S. Stocks Fall 2nd Day as Investors Weigh Fed Comments U.S. stocks fell a second day, following the biggest annual rally for the Standard & Poor?s 500 Index in 16 years, as investors weighed comments from Federal Reserve officials on stimulus and the economy?s strength. The S& P 500 (SPX) dropped less than 1 point to 1,831.37 at 4 p.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 28.64 points, or 0.2 percent, to 16,469.99. About 5.3 billion shares changed hands on U.S. exchanges, 11 percent below the 30-day average. Related:
?Today is portfolio balancing and a little bargain hunting after the selloff yesterday,? Donald Selkin, who helps manage about $4 billion as the New York-based chief market strategist at National Securities Corp, said in a telephone interview. ?There was no fundamental reason for the decline yesterday. Everyone was kind of stunned.? The index?s drop on Jan. 2 snapped a streak of five straight gains on the first trading session of January, as investors sold shares following the best annual rally since 1998. The Dow average climbed 27 percent last year for its best performance since 1995. Headwinds AbatingThe S& P 500 fluctuated today, erasing an earlier loss of as much as 0.2 percent after Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said the headwinds that have held back the U.S. economy may be abating, leaving the country poised for faster growth. The gauge erased that gain in the final half hour of trading. ?The combination of financial healing, greater balance in the housing market, less fiscal restraint, and, of course, continued monetary policy accommodation bodes well for U.S. economic growth in coming quarters,? Bernanke said today in remarks prepared for a speech in Philadelphia. The chairman, who has led the central bank during its record quantitative-easing program, ends his eight-year tenure on Jan. 31. Central bank officials said last month they will reduce their monthly purchases of assets to $75 billion from $85 billion starting this month, citing faster-than-estimated economic growth. Bernanke said the decision to taper bond purchases ?did not indicate any diminution of its commitment to maintain a highly accommodative monetary policy for as long as needed.? ?Right Thing??What he was trying to do is rationalize the decision, saying we did the right thing with the headwinds disappearing,? Selkin said. ?The key here is the continued monetary policy accommodation, he?ll keep the Fed funds low and that?s what the market wanted to hear.? Fed policy makers will continue to weigh stimulus reductions because improvements in the job market are meeting the central bank?s objectives, Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker said today at a Maryland Bankers Association forum in Baltimore. ?It made sense to initiate the process of bringing the program to a close,? Lacker said. ?I expect further reductions in the pace of purchases to be under consideration at upcoming meetings.? The Federal Open Market Committee, scheduled to meet Jan. 28-29, will probably reduce its purchases in $10 billion increments over the next seven meetings before ending them in December, according to a Bloomberg News survey of economists after the FOMC announced its tapering on Dec. 18. The Fed will release minutes from its last meeting on Jan. 8. ?Hunky-Dory?Fed Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser, an opponent of bond purchases by the Fed, said central bankers may be too optimistic they can smoothly pull back accommodation. ?We like to believe that everything is going to be gradual, everything is going to be smooth, and everything is going to be hunky-dory,? Plosser said during a discussion at the Philadelphia conference. ?History does suggest that the Fed, as an institution, is oftentimes late when it comes to tightening.? Three rounds of stimulus have helped propel the S& P 500 higher by as much as 173 percent from a 12-year low in 2009. Equity returns will slow this year, Wall Street strategists forecast. The index will end 2014 at 1,950, according to the average of 20 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That represents a 5.5 percent gain from the end of 2013. Analysts estimate earnings for S& P 500 companies in the fourth quarter grew by 5.2 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Alcoa Inc. will unofficially begin the reporting season when it discloses results after the markets close on Jan. 9. |

For trading restricted stocks, asking them to increase ur trade limit etc... like admin work.. Can also ask them to help you sell if target reach so that u no need monitor?? They are basically there to eat your commission money. So trading is a zero-sum game to many.

Stocks to do well amid taper: DBS
Stocks will do well in the coming year amid a Fed taper, says DBS wealth management chief investment officer Lim Say Boon, who calls for an " overweight" stance across US, Europe, Japan, emerging markets, Asia ex-Japan and China equities for investors with a 12-month horizon. He is " neutral" on emerging markets, Asia ex-Japan and China on a three-month basis. " Our views on 2014 are a continuation of themes developed in 2013," he said at a media briefing this morning. " We continue to favour equities over bonds. In equities, we favour developed markets over emerging markets. " In bonds, we favour corporate bonds over government bonds, and within corporate bonds, we favour high-yield over investment-grade." |
