Something to remember - stock prices in the past hace really only topped out during times in which the dollar was rising and not falling. Some Chinese banks have signed agreements with the SEC that allows them to buy equities for their individual clients. They've already spent over $7 billion of an alloted $50 billion - but they remain cautious. Just what if the Chinese are smarter than we are and want to own S&P companies while they are truly undervalued - could they be that prescient, a harbinger of things to come. Be in to win. The only thing that matters is exactly how much capital there is out there for possible investment. Stock prices are still based on earnings, not just domestic ones, but in total. Watch the DJTA - it is of prime importance as a barometer of future anticipated economic activity. Can you tell I'm excited.
 
"Because inflation remains moderate, Mr. Sinai forecasts a strong stock market for a long time to come. Over the next year, we will see a strong economy with stable inflation, maybe a little bit of an increase. Because companies will turn in strong earnings in that environment, he said, investors should be able to shrug off the rate increases. We have a secular equity bull market that has a long way to go. With stock prices high compared with earnings, the question is how much higher earnings gains and economic data will push stocks before they pull back."
 
Yup, another day of opportunity. I'm going to drive 7 dividends right into the hole. The value of your portfolio at any given moment is irrelevant if you have a long term perspective. The biggest up day in history can come at any time.
 
Keep the pain coming for another two weeks - I can handle it. My dividends will be thankful for the nice pricing. Dividend income can be perpetual.
 
I have ten wall flower dividends due for reinvestment today so bring on the rain - I'll take the capital gain pain and enjoy the boost in streaming income. Now is the time to acquire more shares in preparation for the next several months when the bull ramps again.
 
Yes, they smell so bad I'm still attracted to them - and all coal as a matter of fact. Who knows where coal will go once the EPA is pinned to the wall.

"It is noteworthy that during the previous bull markets, the NYSE advance/decline line always topped out several months before the stock market, so the current strength in this indicator suggests that this uptrend has further to run. Although this bull market is mature and we will get some volatility heading into spring, the path of least resistance remains up and investors should stay positioned for the north bound journey."
 
If the next 12 trading days are like today, I'm seriouslky not going to worry about it because these trading days are leaving me feeling golden. So many dividends attracting more shares that will last well into the future - it's an opportunity to experience some pain for future growth and gains. No panic here - just waiting for strategic opportunities to buy as much of an income stream as I can. I now have accumulated 122 dividend increase announcements ytd and waiting for more. My HVT just paid $1.00 extra dividend - now that's fine money.
 
My oceanic account did take some pain this week which provides for some nice pricing - I'll make the unrealized loss back but the dividends so far have been sweet: -$30K, -$75K, +$16K, +$32K, -$65K for a give back of -$122K. Now I know I didn't put that much to work in dividends but the sacrifice is welcomed - dividends are perpetual. I've got three months to gain 36 more dividend increase announcements to equal the amounts from last year. There's no telling what the next 12 trading days will bring so I'll just sit in my rocker and watch the world go by.
 
I'm slowly inching my way toward the 1,300,000 views - not that it means anything. However, I have only less than four months to increase my unrealized gains to fetch another +$1M for the year. Once September is completed the positive money gains should flow with gusto. And if not, well I'm still having fun with this bull market. Snort.
 
There are only 12 trading days left in the month. You would be speaking of the long awaited "correction" people want. What is it I heard, there haven't been 4 down days in a row this year? That was surprising, even last year had 4 down days somewhere in it's bull run. Don't think the Fed will save the day again?

Today with the R2K hit gave me another opportunity to shove 5 wonderful dividends down the dark wet well - great pricing. I'll take more pain for the benefit of the portfolio - it's the income stream I'm working on for the next couple of years.
