The uptrend isnt parabolic yet

  1. I keep thinking stocks are way overbought but everytime i look at the naz or s&p, i just see a strong uptrend. We either have to have a melt up which we may be in the middle of, or a big volume down day that clearly breaks the trend. For now, enjoy the easy money to the upside.

    I think we need a blast off starting from monday to take us towards maybe 4200 area for a temp top.
    And then maybe a drop back to 3500, followed by the next rally to new highs
     
  5. Either way the market is walking a tight rope.

    ,,In those 13-een years, market went down ten times, 10% of more, so did my portfolio, but in the end i still done better, simply by avoiding the loosers.'' - Peter Lynch
    (not sure tho, was it 13 or 10 years, anyway)

    Good place to start building a clue on where to find the loosers :
    https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/industry-returns-the-decades-winners-losers.346782/

    Went through the balance sheets in 6 months, of the SnP500 list and down to 600M caps.

    There's a looot of garbage out there, that officially remains in that list. Maybe ~20% (or even more, haven't gathered the exact number of companies that haven't made it through the ,,accepted process'')

    Aaaa - men :D

    Since we have those march lows, only once every few years, buying any other time is just too risky & foolish.

    Such a value-add.
