    TASR - back in the days

    Up 6.00 as I write this....just a not so gentle nudge that we have never left what people describe as "back in the day"...those days are still very alive and well..... Just recall this "one trick pony" was about 3 bux in Feb of 2003..now 106....Greenspan Put is alive and well..... Who says...

    Q4 '03...

    not yet ..I am looking for a Bush landslide and 1210 SP at YE 2004, with a decent corr. in Feb to maybe to SP 1060... recall that most of us have never seen an election cycle rally from a Bear market...that's why we can't believe what we are seeing... See 1932-34 or 1970-72.... Those...

    shorting the jumping cat

    I have read the first post and this page..quick question why are you SS this stock for 5 months? I would SS it soon because it is an early cycle cyclical; and maybe swap soon out to a late cycle cyclical like IP .... But to fight this for 5 months makes no sense? Pls explain to me...

    Was the recent bear market trivial?

    After today's action I don't think we ever had a bear market, just a blase, slowmotion mini-correction...because from what I know about bear markets it takes quite some time (yrs) to renew an appetite for playing again. And clearly that's not the case anymore. Took 3 years for stocks to go...

    Was the recent bear market trivial?

    Don't know much about wave cycles...but I concur totally....this period has been mirror of May 1970-Nov 1972 ; Nifty 50 era...and will be held up at any cost thru 11/04; then those first boomers, gulp turn 60 in 2005, and they are gonna want their money back, not to mention we will start paying...

    Farewell 2003.

    Avg gain in the 2 years of election cycle since 1960 is 44%..which could take the SP to 1180 - 1200 in 2004. One caveat: The last time you had strong stocks, strong gold, a falling dollar, and a rising rate env. was 1987. The 2 year gain into 1988 was a measly 6%. either way 04 will be...
