Quote from Spectre2007:
over the years, I pride myself in having developed a sense of the world or a pulse of the market. Taking many factors, media, newstories, price action, general feel of the momentary situation.
it has grown somber, and initially that somber feeling should carry over to next year. The financial landscape is a little bit different, and has a sense of being 'tired', there needs to be rejuvenation of sorts, since financials make up 26% of the SP500, they are a big part in how the overall index behaves.
there needs to be world changing event of sorts before, a new creation can take hold. Whether thats in the form of a global equity crash, or a remarkable new discovery.
A shift needs to take place. Our tech companies need to rework the way we do things and live our lives. They are still moving too slow to what could be possible. If I sense that catalyst coming, I will point it out.
