"This could not be more incorrect-------------- having plans in place to profit from such potential market possibilities is what will have you already in place to be rewarded. Sitting back and waiting for daily price action to put you into trades is still a reactionary game which does not pay the best. Managed proactive positions in place with a plan are some of the most profitable trades you could ever have"

i'm not sitting back and WAITING for daily price action (except for YM scalps which are always intraday), i am positioning LONG on weakness

this has resulted in profits continuously for several years. instead of trying to call a top (transports @ all time his, ER2 @ all time highs, S&P 5 yr highs, gold longterm hi, bla bla blah) try to actually MAKE profits.

and in a BULL market the best profits are made by buying weakness/pullbacks

i am always managing my portfolio and i am currently 20% short. i am always at least 20% short, because there are always good shorts out there, and it's nice to have some hedging exposure

i love bears. you guys just fuel the bull market
 
Quote from AMT4SWA:

The U.S. markets have just experienced a several day removal of funds that was accelerated on Friday. These funds will be hard to replace as the countries and groups of the middle east who have started selling our market last week may very well continue the extraction this week. There was selling into strength on Wednesday and Thursday that was (stopped any S&P price breakout to new highs) creating some equilibrium. Friday changed this balance and it would not be too surprising to have additional buy/sell imbalance carried out through the week ahead.

Where are you getting your information from. Is it the result of the falling stock market on friday?

of course, there is no BULL market going on currently

Definitely not a bull market. It is merely a four year adjustment off of the lows.
 
Quote from Avid_Consumer:

i think it's because the fed's solution is to print dollars with abandon. more dollars = weaker dollar = higher priced assets. the rationalization is that creating artificial liquidity and credit can be a permanent solution in the absence of competetive growth, or at least mask the absence of growth. these guys don't care if we lose the dollar along the way. in fact, the less it's worth, the more likely joe public is to turn around and spend it immediately

economic strength is only one potential reason for rising equity markets. on a 50 year timeframe, the crb is breaking out bigtime

will the equities fall? not necessarily. does that mean the economy is competetive with other nations who don't rely on war? not necessarily.

Not necessarily. Economic strength is higher interest rates is lower profits.
 
"Definitely not a bull market. It is merely a four year adjustment off of the lows. "

it's only a retracement off the lows for TECH stocks. that is the paradigm shift you need to understand. tech stocks =/= THE MARKET

they equalled the 90's bubble

Dow, S&P 5 yr highs

Russell, Transports all time highs

Gold 15+ yr highs
ditto silver

that is a bull market. the nasdaq 100 and the internet bubble stocks do not equal the stock market

this aint yer DADDY's bull market, but if you look at

1) transports
2) russell
3) amex composite (amex has trounced the nasdaq and nyse composites
4) and to a lesser extent dow and s&p
5) gold

this is an awesome bull market

otoh, if you are still holding on to your VERT shares from 2000, i think you might be thinking not so much a bull market ;)
