a) All talking heads are working for themselves first and their big clients second. I totally tune them out. Just looking for news that may affect longer term trends - e.g. the government is going to spend $1,000,000,000,000.
b) I quit using trend indicators a long time ago. They are alwayslway too late because they are using past data and big moves are missed. I prefer useing volume/price data together with monetary/fiscal trends.
c) Oil will stabilize as we begin to switch to energy efficient policies. Bush (and his oil friends) had no incentive. The primary cause of oil moving from $10 - $60 was SUVs (not China and India), the move from $60 - $140 was outrageous monetary policy that encouraged commodity speculation. The new administration will be going down a different road - e.g. energy conservation, alternative energy development, infrastructure building. This will set the stage for long term growth based upon real economic growth as opposed to asset inflation (the Bush years).
d) Not sure whether QQQQs (and QLDs) will lead as investors become less risk adverse. Or, it may be that risk aversion will be the hallmark of this Bull rally. making Dow and SP500 the preferred investment.
Thanks for the input.

Rich;
I agree with much of that.
b]Except simply still like some battle tested trend indicators[with discretion................................................included but not limited to 50dma] AS far as what some gov ''says'' unquote ,well if you can trade/invest off that , more power to you''
c]Yes i fugured the Pickens plan would kick in around 3rd friday in JAN , more or less.[Cant oil drill out of this one that TX oil driller says].
But USA/Israel has to many oil rich enemies[Russia,Iran,Chavez........] for me to call for a stable oil market, but funny how so few''BLAME BUSH NOW'' for low oil prices LOL.CBN news reported Iran says ''more the price of oil the better'' Iran must hate technical price charts.
d] I like the QQQQ leader ship, but thats to the downside,LOL;
SPY actually ourperformed to the downside, a bit today, but not past 7 years..................................................................Look out below.
Thanks Rich ;
thought 1st day of 1st week would be more bullish, but that error tells something also. And still like a downtrending 50day moving average.
