Market Talk / Feb. 12 - 18

[JOVARN]

I believe that there is just too much going on in the world for a long term bull market to occur. Between the uncertainty over the housing market, price of oil, Iran, Record budget deficits, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bla Bla Bla
My strategy for the year is going to be look at the 150 or 200 DMA get as close as I can to that, wait for bad news and buy, wait a day or so to cash in (hopefully) and get out. tThen sit back and claim my 1 cent in the G fund

Until something better comes along, that’s what I plan to do. (For now)

Hey,

[Cortez]

[mlk_man]

Although I seldom make a play on a company anymore based on earnings, I learned my lesson, I do like when they are down right before a report.

It's the one's that go up that you have to be wary of. Dumb money vs smart money thing?

 

[mlk_man]

BTW, AMAT beat also:

It could be time once again for lift-off. A lot of the technicals are lined up to provide confirmation.
