Market Talk / Dec. 17 - 23

I'm not DMA. I have never had another avatar/account on this site. DMA is before my time (probably before I was a Federal Employee) and I do not know anything about who or what DMA did, so if your going to associate DMA with me, then your going to have to provide details if you expect me to be offended.

I'm impressed that you discovered the definition of mendacious - let me welcome you back DMA. You've changed your stripes but you're still a weasel underneath the new varnish. Secondly, it matters not to me what you think - you're still driven buy jealousy and envy, that was the give away. Your admonisments are not credible - just like your honesty and integrity. Your assiduous behavior was another clue. And when you call someone mendacious look in the mirror first. I will not assuage my thoughts or strategies to please a Medusa.

These kind of stupid comments come from Birchbiden and his PM cohorts planting all kinds of ridiculous ideas in each others heads. It happens on all boards. It's like their secret club where they can say this kind of school-girl gossip and giggle about it to each otherr. Birchbiden posts it and they all go into high PMing mode laughing it up. I think he and one of his other club members accused me of being DMA at one time. Grow up dudes.

Gee, I wonder who the other members are?

The trend I see, the more internal bitching that goes on here, the higher the markets go. Take them gloves off.... go NBA on us....

Sugar,

You are at liberty to chastise and criticize me all you want on your own merits - you are a public servant. However, in all sincerity you are making a mistake by promiscuously abetting a perpetrator of known frauds. Griffin has no identity, he is not who he presents himself to be. His grudge and need for vengence goes back over two years. Both you and Tom have been snookered. I'm not in denial - his whole persona is a fake and most of the criticisms he is leveling apply to himself. Griffin (DMA) go have some tea.

I will take a moment to clear up some grammatical errors. The terms your and you're are not the same - the text meaning is different. Amigo.

Give it up Griffin. You are never going to get through. When he gets to 6,000 posts he still will have only really posted his one flawed thought. Several have already left the board because of him. Don't be the next.

 

[Birchtree]

That's actually a couple - previously the old DMA and Johnny Depp. And now they both begin to surface just like salamanders - they can't stay down for long.

Birchbiden,

I'm not aiding or abetting or helping anyone. I could care less who anyone really is. DMA ABC or XY "f'ing Z. This is just part of your little behind the scenes PM gossip club. It's really popular in Jr. high schools across the country. I'm looking at it for what it is. You seem to think you have more cred in what you appear to be. Why? Especially with all the plagiarism you engage in. Need the examples listed? Yeah, I didn't think so.

 

[Birchtree]

To be honest with you I haven't had one pm from any supporters - I may not have any, I'm in this debate all by my lonesome. So there is no conspiracy theory for you to work against. Good jump to the lilly pad.

I'm just wondering when ayla is gonna start another poll................

[tsptalk]

Nah, I'll post my thoughts and strategies until Tom thos me out.

We know your strategy. It's your thoughts I'm worried about. You are pushing the envelope as usual. While I take very little of what you say seriously (snort), I do worry about others being offended. The board seems to have survived losing The Technician (which I hated to do but enough was enough) but we don't need to lose another regular. Please back off a bit.

Respectfully,
Tom

....... Good jump to the lilly pad.

And to think you used to never care.

 

[airlift]

I understand! Thank you.

Something I read awhile back. About half way down the page.

Seams like lately resistance at the 74.50, just an amateur observation.

Hey - is that a head and shoulders forming for the VIX (intraday)? It looks pretty squirrelly - how perfect does it have to look?

Or maybe it's a "cup and handle" (also squirrely)?

The most interesting piece of information is that the insiders aren't waiting until the new year in order to put off or avoid the capital-gains taxes. In other words, they are more concerned with the potential loss from staying in the market than they are with the 15% that they will have to pay Uncle Sugar.

 

[Propstrike]

Makes me wonder about what's looming for January

 

[tsptalk]

Yes, the smart money hasn't looked too smart the last few months. Will they get the last laugh?

 

[Spaf]

The best 6 months for the market (sentiment wise) run from November through April. February is the only off month. January 3rd the first trading day in 2007 has been up 9 of the last 14, but down 4 of the last 6. In 2003 it was a big winner up 266 points.
The Bull has been running since mid summer [$SPX], when does the bull get tired and need a correction, no one knows. February is a good possibility, but it could be sooner. At this point we should be using stops to safeguard our capital.
I like using 1% as an alert and 2% as the actual stop. The general rule is that your portfolio management should bail at a 2% loss with any individual fund not exceeding a 5% loss. With these numbers you can always regroup and trade later. Remember the percentages, a 50% loss requires a 100% gain.

Regards.....and be careful...........Spaf
