April????

[FogSailing]

Well the weather's been cold through March but the stock market has been hot. With the season changing, it makes me wonder if that's about to turn around? Weather is starting to warm up so what's the stock market going to do in April? The federal sequester cuts really start to take effect this month and that means a probable spike in unemployment. There's talk of the fed beginning to creep up hikes on the interest rates at their next meeting. The European world seems set for more near term drama, and I read something last week about the Chinese debt situation being problematic...Time to think on what to do..Stay in, change the portfolio, or head for the island for a while again...

I'll guess up 5%

I wouldn't worry too much about China, they have the distinct ability of manipulating their economy, market's and workforce. Good old fashioned communism in a capitalistic world does have its advantages. Either ways, it will be interesting to see how April plays out.

I find it very difficult to figure out how the market reacts to news like the stuff you mention. My system just looks at quantitative data from the charts and sentiment. There could be trouble at any time. Some say we climb this " wall of worry " .

All this waiting is becoming like waiting for the inevitable moment when the fever breaks, the girl succumbs, the leader slows, the levy breaks, the country falls, the clouds part, and yet there stood the fearless investor. I should get out but you should never say "should". I'm a fool to want you, Mrs. Market. A fool I've learned to be. This kind of fool I will be always. Not like I was in the past. Like I will be now, always.
