Hi DB!
So glad to hear from you! Don't worry I'm not going to gloat at going for a perfect score against you, when you tried to pick against me, what's the use. It happened. It's over. I made a lot of money since we last spoke DB and I went to Nevis! Great time. Now I'm back and spent a lot of cash and you might be surprised to know... I kind of agree the market feels weird right here.
Originally I peeled off some funds at 12,250 DOW and then quickly reinvested in names like LYB & FOSL & ASH & MELI. Now at 12,800 or so I am looking at other names that have not moved and I'm wondering... is the clock ticking.
I don't like big new and different Fed events that contain Q&A sessions... mostly only bad can come out of that. I ran my mind to think of anything that Ben could say tomorrow that could fire up the markets and I thought of one-- What if Ben said the QE2 has already been easing for some time and the wind down was ahead of schedule?
Some stocks have moved quite a bit and look way overvalued. If oil stalls and energy names fall, they will join their heavy cyclical pals and it seems to me coal names have stopped going up. Steel can't be very far behind. The agriculture trade seems off to me. Banks are boring and bad performers... yet here we are making a new Dow high sort of.
It's not a thrilling market. I ran through my checks this morning and came away buying Keynote Systems but it's a struggle to find an angle.
I would not be surprised one iota if we turn over on Wed. I'm trying to decide what to do with FOSL in particular as the price of gas has got to take a big chunk of potential sales away yet they report soon and what should be a great qtr... Timing is everything. As always.
Glad to see you back in the prognosticators chair DB.
My advice Buy KEYN @ $21.00 area and hope to take out the high about a buck above for a clean B/O tomorrow. Then with water under your wings we can look at some other ideas as the market rotates, stalls and then plunges.~ stoney
