  2. Doesn't sound bullish, but that won't stop the market from going up if it wants to!
     
  3. There is no doubt we are going up. It's just a question whether we die at 1420 or poke through 1500.

    If dollar keeps on falling there will not be a rate cut.

    I do not think market will like it.
     
  5. It's the 1970' again. A recessionary economy, rising prices and a weak dollar. Ying and yang. Some good-mostly bad. Could stocks improve/maybe even new highs? Yep. Could they tank another 20%. Yep. Probably do both.
     
  6. Great example of why I don't have a news feed. What do you pay attention to and what do you ignore? The only thing a news feed is good for is when there is severe market moving news and that shows up in the charts anyway so you'll know it when it happens. If you're already in and it moves against you there ain't nothing you can do about it either way. And if you try and chase a news story you'll probably be late and buy/sell the top/bottom. But hey, if it works for you......
     
  7. Have no idea. I can't gage the market. I have been lucky so far in making profits, but I really can not "feel" the direction.

    Oil is going a lot higher, there may be a pull back, but oil will rally another 50 points sooner or later.

    Gas will be around 4 bucks all summer, so what does this do to the "Sheepole'?

    The Jim Jones cult is back, with OBAMA HUSSIAN or should I say JFK Clone?

    There is nothing but bad news across the globe and we could not sell.

    IMHO, I think we are set up for a serious rally.

    Once I see us get closer to the highes of 14000, I might start talking "Crash".


    But at this point, who knows?

    The market is like OBAMA.....talks hope and future but you have no idea what "it" truly is thinking.

    know what i think?

    i think a bear market unfolds in technical terms

    and that it's not going to finish a bounce off a 50 month average until it hits something notable as resistence. the most obvious being the 20 month ma, where the slide really took off in the first place, but it could be something like 50 day ma, etc

    i think we cant have a slide to lower lows until that's occurred

    (i'm talking about $spx)

    all the other stuff?

    bla bla bla

    could this be wrong? of course it could. but it's my best guess
     
  9. That is why I trade off of technicals.
    You only have to watch price and how it relates to "other" price levels.

    The (fundamentals) of the news that you have just listed is far too great of a challenge to filter through and figure out what is relevant to the market, and what is not; or, how the market reacts to such news.

    I'm not that good of a trader for that.

  10. I would not marry a side, especially with so much conviction.
