		<description><![CDATA[The earnings yield (EY) on the S&#38;P 500 index is now above 7 percent, which is typically the kind of yield an investors would get from an average junk bond. EY amounted to 7.09 percent for the S&#38;P 500 as of June 30, 2010 &#8212; the highest quarter-end level in two decades. This either means [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the more bizarre contradictions of the recent rally in equity markets, is the complete refusal by the bond market to budge from its deflation/recession view. In most cases, the equity and bond markets trade according to the same economic outlook. If the market believes inflation/growth is on the way, stocks rally and bonds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If the Federal Reserve&#8217;s view of the economy brightens by just a glimmer this week, it could push the stock market above its four-month trading range. The S&#38;P 500 closed the week at the higher end of that range, just below 1,130. Some chartists see a break above it as presaging a test of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Profit estimates for America&#8217;s largest companies are turning ever-so-slightly sweeter. As of the end of March, operating earnings underlying the S&#38;P 500 index were forecast to total $20.45 for the third quarter, which runs through the end of this month. By the end of June, that estimate had increased by 27 cents. Now it&#8217;s another [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s no secret U.S. stock investors have suffered through roller-coaster volatility this year for no real return, while fixed-income investors have been having a ball. The longest-dated Treasury mutual funds have returned nearly 20%. Equities, meanwhile, have done zilch. Even short-term Treasury debt has been a better bet than anything benchmarked to the three major [...]]]></description>

Despite the fact that most traders were likely working on their short game or vacationing with the family, there was a serious dose of data input to the game on Friday ranging from economic results, corporate guidance, and of course, some very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The mere mention of this country&#8217;s name can cause the &#171;Risk-o-Meter&#187; to nudge higher. But it&#8217;s got nothing to do with the nation&#8217;s own economy or growth prospects. Rather, the problem resides to its immediate north in the shape of the contentious Kim Jong-Il and the saber-rattling North Koreans. Their South Korean neighbors live with [...]]]></description>

Nasdaq 100 futures gained 11.75 points to 1,851.50 and S&#38;P 500 futures added 4.40 points to 1,084.50. Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 31 points [...]]]></description>
