  2. 1050? The question is where does the S&P go to before we move back over the 1053 area? I call for a return to the 990 area prior to a break above 1053 again...this is the question. I was sitting in ES SHORTS overnight as I felt we are going lower, and I will do the same tonight...

    CYA!

  4. The average growth rate for the dollar, euro, yen, and the yuan was over 15% during the March-August period.

    Also:

    (Data in Billions for M3 Growth)

    January: -.18
    February: +46.5
    March: +26.5
    April: +17.9
    May: +92.6
    June: +66.0
    July: +161.4
    Aug: +23.4

    Sept: -24.0

    Since September, M3 has totally collapsed and this is why we will finally get a CORRECTION in the broader indexes, especially in the small cap and mid-cap area where money supply benefits them the most. As a result, the next upleg in this cyclical bull market should see the big-cap names outperform and assume market leadership.

    Above is the first post to start this thread.

    I appreciate the few today who have posted to acknowledge this thread and the call that the S&P was going to top out around 1050. Brilliance!

    To the 95% of other ET'ers who cannot acknowledge, I say to you, hopefully t-rex is right and you are mostly long, and will be hatin' it soon enough.

    Contrarian thinking prevails again! I was in the minority on the above poll. And I challenge anyone in ET to try to create a poll similar to mine where all four categories are so close in vote tally.

    This completes my posting. Good luck to all.

    It doesn't matter where the S&P goes. Every day there are 100's of stocks setting new highs, no matter what happens in the overall market. The key is to be able to have a quantitative model that finds these stocks.

    Nice call Romeo, I guess this is why I stay away from market timing and stick to individual stocks.

  9. Romeo's call was made back on September 17th.

    :D

    Which could have been GOOD, and it could have been BAD, depending on what your trading-style is.

    On 9/17 the S&P closed at 1026.

    So since I thought the S&P was topping at 1050 or thereabouts, I sold lots of 1050 and 1075 calls, and made a fortune, and that's GOOD. That's my trading style, it's called winning. I see a top, I short the calls at and above my preceived target. And it works just fine.

    Also pinpointing the top has allowed me to short many individual stocks the last few days (including ERTS into earnings), as the S&P tried and failed to go above 1050. Very lucrative. But that's history now.

    My best to Pabst, Inandlong, and Mvic. These are three smart people, and some fine message board buddies. And my "guess" is that they're all excellent traders too.

    Now I'll go back to my quiet world of guessing the exact turning points on the S&P, and engaging in seriously profitable market timing.
    +800% cumulative in 8 years, with not a single down year. Bye bye.
