Markets Open With Lighter Staffs Than Normal

Happy Halloween.  The markets are open, but staffing is lighter than normal as residents in NYC try to get back to normal daily life but are still dealing with power outages, transportation delays, etc.  As such, I would expect lighter than normal trading.  The wildcard is that the markets have been closed for the last 2 days so there could be some pent up trading that needs to get done before month-end (today).The damage from the hurricane spread as far as Cleveland, where my parents have told me that Trick or Treating has been...

Monday Morning Musings

Well this is certainly an interesting morning in the markets.  Hurricane Sandy, or at least the anticipation of the storm, has shut down most of the exchanges for trading today and most likely tomorrow.  I heard the NYSE has not been shut down for weather for over 100 years.  Pretty surprising.The bond market was open for trading this morning but will close at noon EST.  The options market is closed today as well.Overnight action in Asia was mostly lower.  China was down -0.5% after reports suggested that there is little...

Start Operationalizing Your Buyer's Journey

I was surprised to hear so much talk about the 'buyer's journey' at a recent Sales 2.0 conference. More talk than I often hear at marketing conferences! Having said this, it was clear that many people who talked about buyer's journeys did not know what the term meant. A hesitant raise of hands at one sales enablement panel showed that a little more than half the room thought that their company used a buyer's journey framework. The panelists didn't...

Does the Fed Have Grave Concerns About the Economy?

On Tuesday, the Federal Reserve re-affirmed its commitment to using unconventional efforts to stimulate the economy.In the latest Fed statement, the central bank said it would keep buying $40 billion in mortgage-backed debt per month to push interest rates lower.The Fed also repeated its vow to keep interest rates near zero until mid-2015.Although that may seem like the Fed is sending a signal to markets that they’re intent to drive the economy, no matter what the cost – that may not be what the Fed...

Hopes For A China Growth Rebound

Markets are only slightly higher following yesterday's sharp selloff.  In economic news, new home sales for September came in better than expected at 389,000 units.  And the FHFA said the Housing Price Index for August rose by 0.7%.Other than that the focus has mainly been on all of the companies reporting earnings this week.  I think the surprise this morning is Facebook (FB), where sentiment had grown extremely cautious.  But investors liked what they heard on the conference call about the ability to monetize mobile ads and...

Markets are slightly weaker in the US this morning on the heels of unspectacular action in Asia overnight and Europe this morning.  There was no real economic data to move the markets this morning, and earnings reports continue to roll in with mixed reactions.  CEOs continue to make caution comments regarding guidance, but you could argue that much of it was already priced in by the recent declines in industrial stocks, for example.Catepillar (CAT) beat earnings but lowered 2012 guidance.  Management commented that CAT dealers have...

Markets in the US are only slightly lower this morning, pulling back a little after a very nice 3-day rally.The only economic report this morning was the Philly Fed Survey, which rose to 5.7 in October from -1.9 last month.  The positive reading breaks a streak of five consecutive negative readings.Overnight, markets across Asia were higher after China reported its latest GDP figures.  China said GDP grew +7.4%, which was in-line with estimates.  Many had feared the headline figures might come in shy of estimates, so China's market...

Stocks Rally On More Positive Eurozone Developments

Our markets are nicely higher for a second day, mostly on improved sentiment out of Europe.  The news this morning is suggesting that Spain is considering taking a line of credit to prequalify for the ECB bond buying program.  There were also reports that Germany was open to the precautionary credit for Spain.  These comments seemed a bit out of line with Germany's recent stance, and the markets rallied on the news.  But Germany has since come out and said that their comments were misinterpreted.Asian markets were also higher...

Consumer Sentiment Remains Surprisingly High

Our markets are only slightly higher this morning.  Actually the large-cap indexes are higher but the mid- and small-cap indexes are still in the red.The surprising piece of economic data this morning was the Univ. of Mich. Sentiment survey, which showed that consumer sentiment rose to 83.1 in October from 78.5 last month.  That reading is the best level we've seen since September 2007.  Let's hope the aftermath of this peak bears little resemblance to that prior period.In corporate news, two big banks reported earnings this morning. ...

Kickstarter Marketing - The Money's Secondary.

Kickstarter launches in the UK at the end of the month and there will be lots of media coverage about this "funding platform for creative projects" and its new way of raising money. But, it occurs to me, it's not really about crowdsourced funding at all.After all, many of the successful projects could arguably have found traditional funding if the founders had been willing to give up some control to traditional third parties, and many of the projects...

Facebook Announces 1 Billion Users – It’s Time for All Marketers to Give it a Go

A few days ago Facebook announced that their active users surpassed 1 Billion. This is a huge number and like it or not, as a Marketer, you cannot ignore a community of this size. At this point, it is irresponsible to write Facebook off as a fad. Its user base covers all demographics and geographies – chances are, as a business, whoever you are selling to is on Facebook. While I certainly do not advocate for suddenly changing your advertising mix to a 25% Facebook Ad spend or hiring a brand new agency to build a Facebook Page that rivals Coke or...

Consumer Stocks Surprising On The Upside Today

The market is flattish in early trading as earnings reports are starting to trickle in.  There hasn't been much in the way of market moving economic data today, so participants are trying to read the tealeaves of corporate datapoints, which today show a bit of a divergence between consumer stocks and industrials.On the plus side, Yum Brands (YUM) beat earnings and raised full year guidance.  Sentiment in the stock had been cautious due to the slowdown in China, so the positive report has resulted in an 8% spike in the stock today.Costco...

ECB Holds Rates Steady

Markets in the US are higher in early trading.  There is not much in the way of market moving news.  Most media outlets will likely attribute this morning's strength to Romney doing well in last night's presidential debate and picking up some points in the polls.  But that is somewhat iffy considering many people have been saying the recent rally has been about the prospects for an Obama reelection.  Asian markets were higher overnight.  Chinese markets remained closed for the Golden Week holiday.  Japan was higher...
