Hope that was somebody buying the dip and not the PPT using our tax dollars or printing press.
Bquat. There are as many reports saying it will continue to be an uptrend. I'm already in for the next month using one of my IFTs to do it. If I move again, it'll be to move from one equity to another, disperse my money among them. Feb is supposed to be an unprofitable month, but for the last three years it's been a good month for stocks. I'm 50C, 50S. S&P 1500 and beyond is what I'm thinking. 1550 by March.Are we in a new down trend or minor correction. Well at least some buddy took profit on all that influx of cash to by the dip. Right back down again. Al righty then: "Two IFT's to burn" and 1496 is a key to a lower low. Raise my buy to 1481 and a touch of the 20 day would be wonderful. It be a good bounce point and make me not a contrarian.
Come on 1486 at least.
Up is still the trend but I am not sure on how much room we have before a session of profit taking. If I had to pick a day for it to go down it will be this week with Thursday being the most likely. Just when I was planning on using an end of month move to re-allocate my shares between C and S (put more into C) I am now thinking about protecting some of my gains in the G.
Double failed top here you go. Let's see if it happens.:notrust:Bquat,
I called it pretty close, for once anyway. I went with my first plan of going 60/40 C/S from 25/75.
I think the big money was simply taking a little profit and re-structuring their investments based on the little sell off. Now we have to look out for a double, or even triple, failed top. Go back and look at you Birchey chart for the 1510 mark. 1510 may fall today. I am playing it cautious but, if the trend continues we could see 1650 this year pretty easily.
I was just looking at the 24th of Jan. Too fast to the top of the channel it dropped back to the bottom. The last time everyone was buying in, I didn't follow and missed the gain. So this was a contrary post. I still not buying in yet because this was a big move and I already may have missed most of it. For me I just don't feel right but I've been known to be wrong most of last year. So I'm taking the odds. I really would like a correction before getting in. I hope it shows it's colors befor the deadline but what are the odds of that happening.Fridays aren't typically active. I didn't know that. Good observation, Bquat. I learned something today.
As for this being a Bull Trap, I think you could be right. The question is how long until it's sprung? It could be a couple of days or it could be right after toaday's Noon cut-off. :blink:
Speaking of triple digit gains.. The day after the NFL conference games were played, the stocks went up more than 100 pts. The day after the Super Bowl we'll have a big positive day in the markets. I'm predicting this, just as most stock analysts are, and like the Jet's Joe Namath. He predicted that his team would win, what was it, back in 1969, and they did. They had to put Johnny Unitas on the sideline, but the Jets won. I'm predicting that team JimmyJoe will win because we're putting the bears on the sidelines, ...and the bulls are running.The bears are being pummeled into submission - Monday could show another triple digit gain. The SPX dividend yield is higher than the 10-year Treasury yield - something that, aside from the period of the credit crisis, hasn't happened since befor 1960. This is low hanging fruit for the yield seeker coming out of bonds.
