Trading Diary: Investors thank God the weekend’s coming
The annual August-September stock market has arrived with a vengeance in 2017. Individual investors try to circle the wagons and get through the next assault.
Friday stocks: Bungee jumping on Bannon, Barcelona and oil
The market's down! It’s up! It’s down again! It’s Trump! It’s terrorism! It’s Cohn! It’s Bannon! Markets pause August correction, confusing bulls and bears alike.

Federal Reserve uncertainty, Barcelona terror attack – not Trump – plus weak August trading action likely behind markets’ sickening nosedive. We look at two trades.

Retail malaise, fear of August correction, Dick's Sporting Goods and AWOL summer vacationing traders and investors make for a dull day, as markets remain confused and lack conviction.

Trump North Korea warning, repeated Kim threats, hit stocks
