Bull market or prelude to a bust?

So, are you saying we are just waiting for a catalyst (aka black swan event)?

I honestly don't see us beating the highs of 2007, but I will keep riding this up until it does or doesn't...

It isn't too late to buy in yet. The same brilliant luminaries who missed this upleg in the first place are now calling for it to roll over and die - simply picayune.

innocent till proven guilty, lock em horns (just saying that cause sniper system is in S fund still )

There has been a large surge of new highs across the board on the NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX. These numbers tell me that it's not just one sector moving the market, instead it's a broad market advance powered by institutional buying. Just wait until the buying panic starts for fireworks and animal spirits. A good jobs number will have yields jumping like beans - a signal that growth may actually be stronger than first thought.

When do or will the big boys or smart money take cash off the table?

Hell, most articles I'm reading say its just the dip buyers holding this thing at these highs. Eventually the big dogs will get their day.

So will it be now? March? June? Never ever?

The big boys ARE taking their profits... Where do you think the equities come from for the retail investors to buy???

not now, maybe next week, maybe week after. weekly is still looking strong, it's going to take some strong negative news to derail this train

I would not touch I fund right now though, it seems that one's losing steam. S & C still looking strong though. but if anything, the international markets have been leading the US markets since the whole fiscal cliff debacle, maybe the I fund slowing down is a 1-2 week glimpse into the future of what S & C will be doing. Mid March time frame perhaps? Till then, lock em horns haha

So because he sees orders for 3000 at $15.25 with stops at $15.10 this means big money. Yes sure at $15.10 these guys lose but they lose about $450

is that what I heard? It was hard listening to him and processing it all.

basically was saying that smart money is getting increasingly bearish

tom sometimes posts charts that show when dumb money gets bullish + smart money gets bearish to a certain extreme, we see a pullback in the market. this might be one of those cases setting up right now.

 

[rktect1]

Good. I actually do not expect to be out for too long, unless this thing is correcting 10% or something. Hopefully ill be back in before march. Maybe even by the end of next week. I'm still bullish on the market, but want a breather.

You want to be back in the market when they kick the sequestration can down the road.

 

[rktect1]

Yup

 

[Birchtree]

I would like to see us take sequestration on the chin and remain standing. The financial markets will always act in the way for which the fewest number of participants are prepared. Let it snow. Gosh Josh, we have an 8 year high in lumber futures. It's time to buy more furniture stocks.
