Its been an interesting week in the U.S. financial markets following Wednesday's FOMC meeting announcement topping off what has become a highly unusual year. Mark Matson has his eye on a few opportunities in today's market, including small caps and value stocks as well as global investments to diversify one's portfolio. In addition to opportunities, Matson also is on the lookout for potential bad investments. One of those he says is gold futures (/GC), which investors tend to flee to in times of uncertainty.
