The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen
Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

February new home sales, existing home sales, and durable goods orders were all weaker than anticipated (new home sales hit a record low!), but the stock market didn’t care. Portugal’s government collapsed after a failure of a vote on austerity measures. Japan’s nuclear problems did not go away. The conflict in Libya continued. Apparently, there’s still plenty of cash in the market looking for something to do.
The Federal Reserve announced the Chairman Bernanke will hold press briefings four times per year to present the Federal Open Market Committee’s current economic projections and to provide additional context for the FOMC’s policy decisions. For 2011, these briefings will be held at 2:15pm following the FOMC decisions on April 27th, June 22nd, and November 2nd.

McDonald’s on Riverside Drive now Re-open
Clarksville, TN – It’s been 10 months since the Great Flood of 2010, but Eric Larson the owner of Larson Enterprises remembers it well. “”When the manager got here that morning at 5:00am and the water was on the far side of the intersection. We thought that it would stop by time it reached the sidewalk, but instead it kept inching up all day. The old store was raised up slightly so towards the end it was like an island surrounded by the rising water.”
Indeed many of you remember the sight of the lone car abandoned at the drive-thru window. “The driver of the car was not allowed to leave by the police, who feared that the water around the store had gotten too deep.” Larson said. “The water kept rising and before you know it, we had 2-1/2 foot of water in the store, the water got up to the table tops.”
