Stocks are down for the fifth straight day as we approach the halfway point on Friday and get ready to conclude what has been a very volatile week. Investors should note that the past two trading weeks in June since 1950 have been the worst weeks in the entire year. Wall Street continues to grapple with hawkish assessment of the Federal Reserve’s statement this week, which has led many to conclude that the tapering process for quantitative easing will indeed be sooner rather than later, especially if the inflation data proves not to be “transitory.”
