Translation:
1) Key support areas are holding
2) Climax selling on moderately high volume
3) Bush's administration and this means Palin) .....................
4) Oil prices will be less of a drag on corporate profits and U.S. balance of trade. However, stronger dollars will impact exports.
The net of all this, plus the extraordinary amount of money being pumped into the system via monetary and fiscal policy means more money will flow into equity ownership.
The accumulation of stocks is just beginning, and the Talking Heads on CNBC are attempting to keep prices low (by inviting public panic selling), so that their clients and friends can accumulate. The same old story.
The question I am wrestling with is whether institutions and the public will become aggressive again with investing (Nasdaq and Russell), or has there been an allocation switch (next couple of years) to less aggressive (DOW, SP500) holdings. This is a key question, since one category will probably dominate over the next couple of years.

==================
Rich;
a]I will take your word on what CNBC is doing;
i get most of my news thru Bloomberg,FOX, CBN, Dave Ramsey/FOX ,market makers & specialists.
b]Still a bear market,50 day moving average resistance;
but the QQQQ & SPY are looking somewhat bullish weekly trend.
last hour.
That is if one likes countertrends.
Weekly chart is in bear rally trend, its a wonder havent seen more bear rallys, this year.
c] Right on oil prices for now.Nice to see unleaded prices trending lower.Really dont know what the oil haters in legislative. or oil haters in executive, will do medium or long term.
Alaska , Arabia & TX, Canada are pretty good about selling us oil, reguardless of politics;
but Russia, Iran ,Chavez , hate our guts.Iranian rulers told CBN news the ''more the oil price, the better'' Fortunately for us, Rusisa doesnt seem to know the difference beteeen a bear trend , bear rally or ''end of capitalism'' Mr.Putin said]LOL
QQQQ tends to be more bearish,all data & it was today, today;SPY was more bullish , all data, & end of today.Nothing quite like a 4 th quarter tek rally, but past performance isnt a prediction...................................................................
