You may have noticed that I have not posted yet this week.\u00a0 Truthfully there really is not much happening in terms of the news flow.\u00a0 Yet despite that the financial markets are at, or very near, their yearly highs.\u00a0 In the past you may remember that I have commented that a rise in the financial markets (an effect) without positive news (a cause) is worrisome.\u00a0 In this situation I have to say I feel<\/strong> differently.\u00a0 Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel differently because the rise has been minor.\u00a0 We are talking about 100 point rise at most.\u00a0 The attribution for the rise is not really that important.\u00a0 But my hunch is that investors, both professional and amateur, are starting to deploy some of the cash that has been sitting on the sidelines for almost 2.5 years.\u00a0 Maybe, just maybe, we are at the precipice of inflows into the stock markets.\u00a0 For now, I like the metered way in which the flow is coming.\u00a0 It isn’t spastic, desperate for return, buying.\u00a0 It seems to be metered and cautious.\u00a0 This I like<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

What will be interesting to see is just what the financial markets do after next Tuesday’s elections.\u00a0 It seems fairly obvious that the Republicans stand to win Congress.\u00a0 That will likely result in a very gridlocked Washington for the next two years.\u00a0 But despite the fact that history shows that returns are higher, and significantly higher at that, during Democratic presidencies, investors tend to like the idea of Republican presidents being in office.\u00a0 So my thought is that we will see a rise in the financial markets just on that alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking slightly further ahead, the Holiday shopping season is about to kick off just after Halloween.\u00a0 What happens there will be very, very telling as to the mood of the U.S. consumer.\u00a0 But for now, the financial markets are a little light on news.<\/span><\/p>\n
