The S&P will end 2005 @

[rubberbird]

i'm going to go against the grain here, and say the S&P ends the year under 1249. I give this a greater probability of happening than 1280 and over.

the above poll has 45 vs 20 people disagreeing with me (70%)

What would be interesting to see now is of all the people listed...where does the bulk of expirience lean to.... towards 1200 or 1300??

Pullback this week to mid 1250's then rally through end of year

too much bullish sentiment for my taste. I say we grind lower through expiration friday Dec 16th.

 

[wastrading]

Looks like the general concensus is optimism here.
Good

Forget opinions:

In some book i read, was it Bill Simon former SEC of Treasury, that said to his traders at an employers Bond trading desk;

"Look you guys, Don't get intellectual with these markets, JUST TRADE THEM" If you guys were not bond traders, you would be truck drivers......So, do your job and just trade this stuff.......

Using a quite complicated theory involving a chart sunflower seeds and my psychic parrot named Willie... he has advised me that the S&P will close at ~ 1312 ~ on Friday December 30th. He was quite explicit leaving a distinctive V shaped cut on the chart. Interested parties can email for a kit which includes a blank graph and 30 seeds along with my proprietary system. You will of course have to provide your own parrot.
