Are Stocks Making a Major Top?

Great job, comments are on the top but 2 days or 2 weeks early.
My 10300/1100 target is in so next week S&P could hit 1060.
Forecasting is never easy-just a guide for walking in the forest of trees.

'Sell in May and Go Away' Meant Taking a Loss in 2008

The markets have done the opposite of what history has foretold. Therefore, sell it all now for there is no xmas rally coming. The casino never closes.

Housing Is Moving Towards Disaster

Thanks John.
2010 will be another big year for more of the same...Foreclosures, REO's , short sales and BPO's. That's good for my businesses, but bad news for Americans. No one seems to know the market or its price and when the bottom hits. 2015 is my target; 2 years of current inventory, more coming(banks have been holding back), owners and economy struggling, government intervention and a 17% real unemployment take time to turn around.

Are we, the taxpayers.... buying the garbage loans on the books; where are those bank loses? That too is coming. Plus, the credits to 1st time homeowners who have no idea of the ownership responsibilities, makes me believe that 15% of those will be delinquent. Half of that will be future foreclosures and short sales.

Ah, the Kids are in school now, so most of the buying is in for 2009...and a long winter is around the corner. Hey, we are getting older too; so some of us (myself included )wonder, are the 2nd homes (3rds etc) worth the holding costs? And you thought that having your mortgage paid off was a good idea! Good luck getting the equity line or a cash out refi. Expect more of the same for years to come.

The Most Expensive US Market Of All Time

Rally will carry us to Mid Jan...so....
enjoy the trend for that too will end... but not yet...not yet!

IF is a big word.
IF the s&p gets over 1082 if it passes 1100 if it passes 1175
but it certainly Mr Mkt wont get beyond 1250 w/out fundies after the Xmas rally;happens 90% of the time..
NO-don't fight the Fed or the trend!

Insiders Confirm: Rally Is Fake, Economy Is 'Getting Worse'

As a business owner, I must agree that business is still falling. Credit is still tight and banks refuse to lend to the worthy; yet they lend to 1st time home buyers that put down less than 10%. Geezz!

Hello-next wave of no equity homeowners are just a year away from foreclosure.

Legone's right too. Retail is dying.
Govt is lying and economy is not creating jobs!

I Spent the weekend golfing w/ a hedge fund manager of $4B. and he said they are slowly selling out of their positions for capital preservation purposes. It tells me to conserve and preserve for now; and that most of the mkts appreciation is baked in. S&P1100 and 10500 Dow is tops for me! Will it make it there?

Where Is This Market Going?

Good work and you can add
10) a never ending war against......

Five Reasons the Market Could Crash This Fall

Fear is not an option. Making money is. Your in or out, long or short.
With the Fed and WH putting out money like drunk sailors, don't fight the trend. Only bad news will derail this rally. Short term trend is long, but Sept-Oct may be as far as this rally can go w/o a correction.
Enjoy the ride. Long term-there is hell to pay for all the debt created.

Market Is Ready for a Move, But in Which Direction?

All right. Good comments and article-timing.
Most companies have lowered earnings expectations a yr ago so they can meet or beat the numbers. What many didn't forecast was the drop in consumer spending, lack of jobs created and the next wave of homes going into foreclosure.

Summer rallies always fizzle in the fall. To bad we have to play the market both ways at this time-but this is how the Wall st firms like to earn its money-churning and trading in and out.

Being rangebound means; sit on the side until a clear trend appears. Trade wisely. Take some off the table and enjoy the long weekend.

Why the Dow Is Headed to 6000

Chart the dow or the s&p back to 1935.
OK-then draw a line from 1935 to present day -one for the lows and one of the highs.
Over time this gives one the range-bollinger bands were created just like this!
Historically stocks should or will usually trade in the ranges.
Of course if you look to the stars one will say we are 3-5 yrs from historical world changes. all I can say is dig a cave and hide in it!

Stock Markets Nearing Important Bottom

Good work-but K, this will be a short rally. Gale is close to right on. Banks won't even lend to other banks. In fact they say not to buy (our stock)for at least 18 months-they are not buying back their own shares yet! Why?

Was That a Bottom? Should We Even Care?

Many good things have been stated here.
Facts vs figures-please.

Fact-pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.
Fact-stocks in general have gone no where since 1999 bubble bursting. The market treand is your friend, which is now sideways to down.
Least we not forget going back to the start of the longest bull run which ran from 1982 to 1999.

Gee I guess I am right again -economic cycles average 17 years. Thanks again RR.
IE-I'll keep trading sideways in this bear cycle -both up and down until 2015, when the pattern will return to up agian.

Technology advancements will create a new boom cycle then(2015)-what is it?-robotics will be near perfect and affordable. Man gets displaced slowly.
