Bullish Option Strategy Bets on Yum http://seekingalpha.com/article/180972/comments?source=feed#comment-835509 835509
I have worked in restaurants and followed the business trend for many years. Seems the prevailing strategy today is to expand the menu and cut the labor force in an effort to squeeze a few more pennies of profit.

Is this really a long term or sustainable strategy ?]]>

The 2010 Tech IPO Boom http://seekingalpha.com/article/179226/comments?source=feed#comment-816907 816907
Other bullish forecasts I have heard ;

Q3 GDP lower than expected. That means Q4 will be higher than expected. Outlook Bullish !

Low interest rates good for business making loans more affordable. Fed raises interests rates means economy recovering. Outlook Bullish !

Weak dollar good for stocks as multinationals book larger profits. Outlook Bullish ! Strong dollar good for stocks as foreign money invests in America. Outlook Bullish !

Unemployment only 10% is better than at same point in other recessions. Employers become more efficient with fewer people. Outlook Bullish !

Possible nuclear war. 2,000,000 dead first day. 1,000,000 dead second day. Rate of change ( 2nd derivative ) is slowing. Things are getting worse at slower pace. Outlook Bullish !

OK, I made the last one up. But either way,

OUTLOOK BULLISH !]]>

I actually heard one "News Babe" calling a rally for the day because the futures moved up 5 points at 8:00 AM. Perhaps not surprising as this is the same story all day long.

Also don't discount the fact that FOX business is being carried by more cable systems. Some people may really care to hear that the Emperor is not wearing any clothes !]]>

The professionals are bidding up the market to persuade individuals to try "buy and hold" one more time. Or, perhaps convince the new investor to believe the markets go up forever.

In either case the fast money will exit near the top and Mom and Pop will be saying, "What happened ? "]]>
