        <![CDATA[When retailers start moving out of CDs and money markets and into equities, then I think you REALLY see a pull back, as it gives the smart money more demand for its shares, and therefore a reason to sell and buy later on the declines. What you do with the market at these levels all depends on your investor profile and goals, and of course what types of assets youre looking to buy. ]]>

        <![CDATA[You wont miss out. You have to watch trading ranges and support and resistance points. We wont just go from 12k to 15k. There will be bumps on the road. So if we go from 12k to 11.5k, you buy, and then we can hit your 15k by end of the year (which I dont think will happen, by the way). In that case, if your idea panned out, your cost basis for the market would be lower than if you were buying on the highs like this. In your case, if you are overly bullish like the bulk of the market, then it might be wiser to wait for dips and buy those. While I would personally recommend waiting for substantial dips, not 1% declines.]]>

        <![CDATA[Those are all possibilities. But a stronger than expected US economy only happens when we see stronger than expected job growth for at least a full quarter, if not more. No one is forecasting that. We also have another major problem on the horizon, municipal bond defaults. This, too, is not going to be good for cities and towns, not good for the public, and very bad for bankers who will no longer be paid interest on those bonds in default.]]>

If the US is going to shed jobs like this, and incomes are going to stagnate, then our housing stock has to decline in value. The country cannot depend on rich people buying up homes. We are still a middle class nation and as those incomes remain flatlined, so will housing prices. ]]>

But if youre asking that question because you want to make a buy or sell trade on the stock, best to talk to your registered investment advisor who can assess your risk tolerance and knows your financial needs.

        <![CDATA[Hi folks. <br/>When I consider those higher prices, which of course seem extreme ,Im considering the theory of peak oil in the major oil nations of the Middle East. If these scenarios of lower discoveries and disappearance of stock come to pass, and if the US, Europe and Japan grow at least 3% with China and the rest of the Brics growing at current rates with high demand for oil, then prices will rise because of supply and demand.

I also think that even if we don't see $300 in the next three to five years, we do easily crack $100 in that period, so there is easily longer term upside to quality assets related to oil. ]]>
