Bad earnings have been discounted. Looks like there are no more compelling reasons to keep selling and no more sellers left.
I have to agree with Stock trad3........I hate to admit that but he has a point. Market has discounted earnings, for next quarter as well. Sellers are out......Most smart money sold a year ago. The only people left are Pension Funds, 401ks, and those who have a very small part of their net worth in the markets. The next phase that will bring about the depression will be a full on "CRASH" caused by throwing in the towel. A 1000 plus sell off that will be the signal for all funds to go to cash.....hedgefunds are going under and liquidating every day. Not sure how much of euro-land is left in our markets. The selling is left to the "Small Folk" now. Only time before a generation of "retirements" will be gone. But I don't think it will happen tomorrow
Estimates are still way to high for 4th qtr and next year. Once they start to come down in a meaningful way the air will clear a bit. Once stock throws in the towel on his uber bullishness the mkt can rally.
Up we go. The dow only down 12 points. I didn;t even check the market this morning. Just buy and hold. No need to overanalyze the news or charts.
