Hennion & Walsh Winter 2009 Market Commentary: Is the Recovery Validated?

Parsippany, NJ, November 18, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Hennion & Walsh (http://www.hennionandwalsh.com) issue their insightful Winter 2009 Market Commentary for individual investors. The Winter Commentary provides fresh insights into the continuing third quarter recovery that built upon the second quarter recovery momentum. Yet, the equity markets have rallied so far and so fast in such a relatively short period of time that a pullback, while it may be brief and shallow, seems inevitable and necessary. Thus the questions remains, will the current recovery be validated?

Investors will find the Winter 2009 Market Commentary continues its editorial categories with a 2009 Major Index Performance Summary and a U.S. Style Index Performance Summary, followed by the 2009 Remaining Market Outlook providing information on unemployment, consumer confidence, corporate earnings, economic recovery progression, interest rates, the value of the U.S. Dollar, and inflation. The Market Commentary discusses market gains, losses and possible trends in an easy to understand manner.
