Happy Labor Day Weekend …

We wish you a very Happy Friday and Labor Day Weekend !

Monday is a Holiday and our offices will be closed as well…

With various early exits from School today, we will be out of the office for the better safety of the streets today but tethered lightly..

As a reminder its a good idea not to do money movements on a day like today, both being a Friday and a long weekend… it’s likely there will be a skeleton crew at some point in the chain….

Have a Great Friday and a Super Weekend!

First Full Week of School in the Books … Partial Week Next Week, Labor Day ! Getting Ready for Fall Sports… Child Tax Credit Preview … Late Summer Friday

Whew….. the first full week of school is thankfully almost in the books…..

Always say after the first or second full week “Don’t know how we are going to make it!” But we do!

The Sleep schedule is getting better, up at least 10-15 minutes for the 13 year old before departure time

He even got the choppers brushed four out of five days!

Just when the schedule steadies… next week has an early release late in the week followed by Monday Labor Day Holiday!

As a reminder, Monday week is the official Labor Day Holiday! (Maybe that is for return to school help …haha)

Fall Sports on the Horizon…

As the days get shorter on light, the fall sports calendar starts to get in gear!

Child Credit Confusion

We have run into repeated Child Tax Credit Confusion and are planning an early next week longer post with the IRS notes for clarity…. we really have had a lot of questions and have been somewhat confused ourselves …

It’s a Friday and most of that was last week, but we are heading into a late Summer Friday on the weekend before a shortened week…

Enjoy, talk next week and have a Great Weekend,

Market Follow Up Comments From Early in Week … Friday of Long Weekend

On Monday, here during our August review, we warned that the markets had finally gotten too far ahead of themselves as investor became overzealous and somewhat dismissive of risk.

From the Post …

Gone Too Far

You know us to be very positive – all through the many negatives that have occurred !

You also know we will call it like we see it!

Markets have officially gone too far and are ahead of themselves, expect bumps and no extra risk taking is warranted at this time – CAREFUL!

It is very unlikely that the Markets just turn and fall like a knife, we are more concerned for the next three to six months or so … not three days later …

That being said, it does show that there is significant risks as those who were in “Fear” earlier in the year are now in “Fear of Missing Out” (FOMO)

Time will tell and this is not an exact science – but we are building some great content for our coming Newsletter as we type this … carefully building content as the fast paced markets have trashed several of our big Newsletter writings and made them old news as what we said “Could Happen” occurred before we could let you know…. All good!

Ahhhhh …. but today is a Friday heading into a much Welcomed long weekend…

Happy Labor Day!

Enjoy and be sure to spend time with those special… if you can safely!

Pictures Showing the Future is Bright … Long Weekend …

Long time readers/listeners may have noticed a personal post frequently finds it’s way into our blog, especially on Fridays and Even MORE likely on a Friday before a long weekend….

The Future Is Bright

Almost daily, either a long walk with the Dog, or a jog is taken across the neighboring University near the house. Regiment over the years has made for noticeable knowledge of the energy that abounds, especially during move in –

The Amateur Photographer may not due justice to the energy that prevails…. but it’s there … and an easy bet is that it’s happening all across the country, not just here….

Yeaa … The Future is Bright!

Doogie gets ousted shortly – Happy Labor Day — Relax, Enjoy – You Deserve it!

Today is the last “Unofficial” summer doldrums holidays for market participants. Next Tuesday (Monday is Labor Day- Happy Labor Day) the ExperienceHampton’s energy and population declines, as many head for their regular desks, rather than the remote offices.

Our bet… we will all see calmer capital market participants as Doogie Howser is pushed aside, and experienced, well rested, hands take over the wheel.

Our office will be closed on Monday- Cathy resting her recently operated on back- Donald prepping for a new addition to the family, Kathy our editor – readying for an extended trip — and myself  … Traveling back – leaving as many arrive.

But all of that is next week !!!

Pat yourself on the back, you have worked hard, had a great summer, and shared time with those special in your life. Best of all, you have a long weekend to unwind, reflect, and share once more, before the race to the end of the year ensues.

Enjoy ! You deserve it !!

LAST Friday of Summer … For some … Weak Hands Still

It is fun to have time out of the office, but good to be back. Today marks the “unofficial” end of summer for my crew, as Monday is a school day.Summer Over

Back to the normal schedule, no more staying up late and sleeping in… All good to be back on schedule SOOON!

Wall Streeters do not return until after Labor day, for the most part, so volatile markets and Doogie Howser’s control may still be the theme for the next couple.

Ah, but that is all next week… enjoy your Friday, headed into the weekend !

ZZZZzzzz ….. Oh … Wait, it is a Friday Before a Long Weekend

They call it summer doldrums for a reason. This is a Friday heading into a long weekend and from what we can tell, not very many financial folks have been around this week.

Wall Street Records Broken This Week!

This week Tuesday was a record day on Wall Street !

Lowest Volume day of the Year!

Not to be outdone, Wednesday was even less …. Who knows what today will be .. YIKES !

Have a Super Extra Long Weekend and a Happy and Safe Labor Day!

You know by now…. Do not forget to spend time with those special in your life….Next week is September ALREADY !Labor Day

Have a Great Day !

End of Month, Syria, Hampton’s, Long Weekend….Nothing else please!! (PS…Pierce Breaks the Record)

Under normal circumstances, the end of the month presents certain challenges as professional investors “mark up” securities to show better results. Throw in a Syrian conflict (we are watching this closely, so far participants are not showing extreme fear), and absence for many…still at the Hampton’s…..What do we get?

Choppy and non-directional Markets

Stirring all the afore-mentioned items up and blending them together, what we get is random movements. We are carefully taking advantage of certain movements, but only in small portions as there may be larger movements ahead.

Labor Day Weekend Schedule

Today, Cathy is in only for a partial day, and our office will be closed on Monday. I will be working on several great articles for the 2013 Q4 Newsletter over the weekend and on an office-less Monday….But hey that is next week!Labor Day

Enjoy your Friday and your long weekend, if you are receiving one !!

Have a great day!

John Kvale

PS For what it is worth, Pierce our son took only three days in school to do what Sophia our daughter took three years….you got it, a bad smiley face/note from the teacher…oh boy….it’s only the first week !!!!
