If I could just be as right about figuring out what the market is going to do as I am nailing those of the Lennon persuasion to the wall. Ah well. Maybe we wont have the fresh Prince of Bill Ayers too much longer. Golf anyone?
 
On another note I don't feel too bad about being out of stocks on Monday seeing we were helpless to eject yesterday. Now if it goes up another 3% today allow me to kick myself. At least I have another shot in Oct.
 
Could this be the financial sector trying to play catch up? When they decide to take some profits watch out below!
 
So we hit 1200 and that's all she wrote. Amazing how I remember these old sayings of my grandparents.

I wonder who She was and what she was writing?

She was CJ Snare and it was a he, writing songs for Firehouse.

I can't believe your grandparents used to listen to that crap.

Although that might explain a lot.
 
Burro may be right about the saying but I have heard people born in the 19th century use that when something ceased to function. Way too late to ask any of them about it.

If by "real leftist liberals" you mean those that actually walk the walk, no, there are none. Just a lot that like to talk the talk and get the bennies. Such people, and I know there are a few around where you work, are useful to fulfill the role of union rep, EEOT council rep, employees association rep, monitoring who needs more squares checked for diversity training, coordinating said diversity training, organizing chili cookoffs, various lunches for charity, collections for various things, the CFC and many other worthy causes. Some of these people even find time to do some work. We are lucky there are people around to do these things.

I really enjoy reading your posts. I do think you get a little too pissed in them occasionally but so have I in the past. There are some around here who love to push buttons through putting up a very liberal (progressive?) belief. These people are very much enjoying their paycheck and all benifits that go with that.

One slight criticism. I think you may be confusing Lennon [John Winston Lennon, (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980)] and Lenin [Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (22 April 1870 – 21 January 1924)]. Not saying that Lennon was not a socialist. Just saying it gets mixed up some times.

Peace

Thanks for your post. I do get a bit passionate b/c I am seeing the espousing of liberalism by Americans slowly ruining the country. They have little idea what they are really embracing. And I was speaking of the Beatle John...I don't care for the ideas put forth in Imagine, at least the No Possessions bit.
 
Looking at these gains today rather drop-jawed. Market seems to defy all the technicals and dumbfound the experts and.novice alike. Of course assoon as I hop on board this train bound for glory will jump the tracks straight off a cliff and.plummet into the abyss taking my TSP with it. Sheesh.

Look at my back in channel chart, you can see the false breakout there and check out Live with Oscar. He had it this morning. I got lucky? Too bad I waited until the move up was confirmed.

My perfectly innocent Occupy wall street joined by Unions thread closed!

What's the world coming to? Guess I wont post OWS protesters get up to 234,000 in donations for cause and free storage to hold supplies and food.

They are starting to look like a new.corporation already. Keep those cards and chex coming folks we know where the leftover funds will wind up...har har
 
Yup, it was last last post that caught my attention.

I still think that so many people on the left side of this thread should just send their direct deposited checks to the treasury to assuage their guilty conscience... etc...

Harmless in itself but we know where it was heading... into another political discussion and we know how 90% of them end up - I get angry PM's, forum members quit, premium subscribers cancel, etc.

I will continue to direct you to www.beltwaytalk.com for that.

I wish we could discuss it here, but after 3 years of trying, I know we just can't do it.

So, please don't continue the discussion here. Use that blue link above and have at it. Thanks
 
Looks kinda nasty out there for now...but can't discount a comeback anytime now that's not unusual in this market. So when does a bear market official end and Bull begin?

I don't think we ever officially entered a bear market (close below S&P ~1082), so we are still in a bull market (ask BT).

I think the official designation comes from 20% "correction" as the expectation is that it will continue going up/down after that much of a change.
 
That's one of the reasons I like to use the 50/200 day EMA crossover to determine a bear market. The 20% decline seems like rearview mirror anaysis. When Joe Sixpack hears on the news that we are 'now officially in a bear market' it doesn't do him very much good because he is already down 20%.

But I guess that's not so much of an indicator as a definition.

True, 20% drop is a definition and the 50/200 cross as an indicator that the 20% might happen is a good clarification. I didn't think about the difference and explain it. Thanks so much for bringing it up and providing more education to me :D
 
I just realized late last week that I didnt update the my Auto Tracker settings when I did my last TSP trade.

That makes twice this year I failed to do so.

Meaning my Tracker numbers are pretty much meaningless and there is no way I know that can be remedied.

I am 100% invested right now but the Tracker says I am still in G. I am just done with it for the rest of the year.

I plan on staying long the rest of 2011 anyway because it looks like the worst is over. 60 shopping days until Christmas!
