The market may go up or it may go down, but don't think you'll make money playing the usual suspects. Why doesn't anyone think the market will flatline? or range bound? How does one make money then? The new bulls will not be the old bulls. If you think the market goes to +10k and are long financials or energy, you may be in for a suprise. Look for shit that perpetually goes up when ES is flat or down. Industrials seem to be showing this pattern of late.( cat, utx, de) I for one am still looking for shorts in financials, cause i think they are stuck. Seems to mirror the HGX sentiment few years back. made new lows for years. And what do folks think the barrage of news next few quarters will be? Might not get worse, but will be perpetually lame, more or less boring as fuck. If one must go long, pick crap that media can spin a new bull market in. Watch TV but don't be cynical. THings have been getting contra contrarian lately, and what Cnbc and talking heads pushes might actually work. And if market tanks, just get out of everything. It's a new year, and I think we're going to have to change habits, cause the market seems to be changing. CHanging as in a different "disturbance" in the "force." The game is in finding the sectors, and the sectors are changing.
