Preparation for Bear Market should have started in 2017. But technical hits started Jan 2018. Now today, the only thing I can say to help is, “brace for impact” Global shipping Index, containers and such is in Bear of EPIC proportions See Baltic Dry Index. Holy Tamale! Now FedEX hath confirmed the dire circumstances https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/19/fedex-just-warned-the-whole-globe-is-slowing.html
WHOLE world is in sync: wave 2 rally up. Whole world. No exceptions. Includes countries whose real estate markets have dropped off a cliff like Aussie and Canada. All the everything bubbles are popping one after the other. Of spectacular interest to world market players who don’t limit thesssselves to only Us Markets, but use Ratio Analysis to find where to open accounts and play internationally. .. for example Vietnam/NYSE composite Vietnam/EEM Vietnam/stoxx600 Blah blah you get the drift Laborious process but in about one hour on the computer you can find the dominant emerging country that is outperforming. These trends last a loooong time. You gots to get out when it’s over take your loot convert to strong currency ($ now) and skiddadle to the next. USA has been the place to be for a while now. So is there any place to go now? Hahahahahahaha. If you find one it will at best be one that will get hammered LESS but you still lose. WHOLE world is in sync: wave 2 rally up. Next wave down is Jacqueline Tsunami
You heard it from me first: Poor Donald. I don’t want him to lose. He stood up to everyone but now BEAR will in short order totally wipe out THE TRUMP BUMP. You will know this is happening as soon as the December lows get taken out. There will be chaos. Right now already CNN and the rest of the gang are in brazen open mockery and disrespect of the President, this despite the clear fact that he might be the best ever Pres. I ain’t seen such total bs EVER - politically correct country beyond horizons His base will rally Bear markets bring War and revolution Secession talk soon to erupt again.
Watch the FEAR/GREED Index that I prefer to call Fear/complacency If what occurred today is not wave 4, then Vix will shoot up like a rocket and BEAR is ON. If today’s action is wave 4 then Vix will make one more marginal low possibly to the obvious daily trendline and THEN blast north.
The way I see it, from a technical perspective. We have been going sideways since January 2018, this is after a big rise of a few years. This is quite possible a distribution pattern that is happening right now. I just don't see the point of shorting this latest rally until it runs out of steam and we start heading south... if it does happen at all.
For TheMickey: Sit back light up a cigar, get your notebook out and chalk maxinger’s post into the 100% bullish SENTIMENT zone. Why does this comment score 100%? Because this fella it is inconceivable Market can go down. Nothing new for me. Same attitude generally for ET as a group. Bullish% off the charts hovering near 96% There are very few exceptions at ET or in the entire investing world.
Exactly as it did after the first identical drop in the following: Great Depression (1929) 1973-74 Bear 2000-03 Bear 2007-2009 Bear
