- Former Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger, who oversaw the US military buildup under President Reagan that helped win the Cold War with the Soviet Union, died at the age of 88.
- Israel’s Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his Kadima Party won today’s election, tapping voters’ desire to abandon talks with the Palestinians and fix the country’s borders unilaterally, exit polls showed.
- General Motors(GM) said it will restate several years of financial statements for its home-mortgage unit.
- TD Ameritrade Holding(AMTD) said earnings for the fiscal second quarter will exceed its earlier estimate of as much as .28/share due to a surge in trading volume.
- The IRS audited 11,715 US millionaires in 2005, providing a rare glimpse of its efforts to ensure wealthy taxpayers comply with tax laws.
- Shares of companies based in developing countries are rising for a seventh quarter, extending the longest string of advances since the 1980s. The p/e ratio of so-called emerging market stocks is the highest since 1999, relative to developed countries.
- US Treasuries declined, driving the 10-year yield up the most in two months, after the Fed raised interest rates for the 15th straight time and signaled additional increases are likely.
CNBC:
- The Federal Reserve may boost its benchmark interest rate to 5% and stop there, former Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Robert McTeer said.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished lower today on losses in my Computer longs, Semi longs, Biotech longs and Energy-related shorts. I added (QQQQ) and (IWM) shorts in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 75% net long. The tone of the market was negative today as the advance/decline line finished lower, most sectors fell and volume was above average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly higher into the close. Overall, today's market performance was bearish. The bond market's reaction to the Fed hike and commentary is disappointing considering investor expectations. As well, oil may bounce further in the short-run on the new ETF scheduled for this Monday. Given how good this quarter has been to many, I expect to see more profit-taking into quarter-end.
