Why Markets Will Continue Rallying: Strategists Published: Thursday, 28 Oct 2010 | 12:00 PM ET Text Size By: JeeYeon Park CNBC News Associate Next week's mid-term elections, coupled with the Federal Reserveâs expected announcement on quantitative easing (QE)âbuying bonds to increase the money supplyâare likely to have a major impact on your investment strategy. How should you be prepared? Gordon Charlop, managing director at Rosenblatt Securities and CNBC markets analyst and Terence Dolan, CEO of Benjamin & Jerold Brokerage discussed their insights. âThe point of QE is more psychological,â Dolan told CNBC. â[The Fed is] talking about a stronger dollar, but we really need a weaker dollar to make our goods more comparable overseas so itâs a mixed bag on how effective the Fed is going to be.â However, Dolan said the markets are coming out from a transition phase and are formulating a basis to move upward. âRight now, Iâd be looking at some of the technology firms, biotechs and some stocks that are decent on the dividend side as well, just for defensive purposes,â he suggested. In the meantime, Charlop told investors to watch out for major economic news coming up including Fridayâs GDP report, next weekâs ISM data, elections, Fedâs announcement, and government payroll numbers. âTo me, all these things will be a springboard to a market that will continue to rise to the end of the year,â he said.
All markets in the green and ready to rally into the close, no risk at all, go long and hold into the elections and fed meeting and make free money all the way through the end of 2010, spx to 1275-1300 by then. Do not sell.
Why is 1200 taking so long, its guaranteed to happen, don't know why they cant just push it 1200+ and be done, this waiting around gets boring you know.
