Way to go 12%! You're a good sport. Better luck to all of us!

All in good fun. I can take the comments, thick skin. Hey, it is only money!! Cannot take it with you. I got killed yesterday and today. The auto makers and Citigroup killed the longs today. Who would of thought that the markets would fall this fast in 2 months. Amazing!!

Time to shut the computer off and come back in a year. My account is back to 2003. Crazy to see these swings in days that used to take years to produce. The S Fund is down almost 20% in 4 days. Are you shitting me???

I hear ya, not much is making sense :notrust:

I'm not fast enough to deal with EOD prices and I don't have enough IFT bullets to time it right...

Cramer has been all over the map in the last year or two; calling for the bottom in July, and calling a bottom in the housing market in 2006, but I give him credit for telling people to sell rallies over the last couple of months.

That is correct, he did call the bottom in July. I watched that show.

His guess is as good as anyone else's nowadays. No one, I mean NO ONE can even call a market close at 3:30pm, much less prior to our noon deadline!

12% A Year...

I'm an infrequent visitor (normally twice a month or so), but always tracked on you. I value your opinions.

Hard year...

Are you going to reactivate???

I believe he's moved on to "greener pastures".

Rally week. Doing the opposite this week of what CNBC thinks. Small Caps look very cheap here. GL

Good to hear from you!

Earning weeks are alway the opposite of what my position is so you are right.

$135B of new Treasury debt on auction this week. This will cause yields to increase and provide headwind to the small caps that rely on lower interest rates for profit margains.

Likewise Luv2read.

I'm a little suspicious of this rally. It broke up and out of a pattern but it's now stuck below a key fib. This rally was led by Barclays saying they will report a profit in Feb. While that is good news for Barclays, they do not speak for the whole market.

Intervention has been rampant in the last few days. FOMC could be a market killer. They're out of bullets. They key is for the market to close above 848.

Good luck to you.

I've been 25%C/25%S for months and move the other 50% around every once in awhile. This is a quick in/out to I fund and back to G, hoping Asia will follow Europe up tomorrow.

The Nikkei futures are up 85 points or just a hair above 1%.

Nikkei futures +95.

Which is surprising with the U.S. dollar down 1.5%. This will weigh on their exporters.

Thanks ... Looking great for the week. Great time to be be fully invested because any glimer of good news will cause the markets to explode.So much bad news is baked in the downfall of the markets. Look at Monday for example, over 70,000 were laid off. The layoffs are the last stage of a bear market. The markets will only improve with some hiccups along the way. I think we are entering the very early stages of a bull market. Notice I said very early. We all know the facts about the recession,unemployment spikes,consumers not spending, and fear. Now lets look at some postive tea leaves. Inflation is under control, interest rates are at an all-time low,new government,bank failures is old news,and the Fed is creating new tools to fight this nasty economy. I can see the DJIA break 10,000 by 12-31-09. Remember the markets forecast the futures. Also with the earnings season, the bar was lowered so much that any hint of good news will be reward. There are many great buys to be had for short money. Mutual Funds are starting to buy again. Good Luck

Here is how the economy works....
