A very weak jobs report, only 112,000 new jobs, most economists predicted twice that. Let's see if the exuberance for stocks continues. The bond market appears to be very happy about the weak jobs report.

That's why Mike went F... right Mike???

The market is an amazing thing - everything green despite the weak jobs report, disappointing reports from retailers regardingholiday shopping, and the continued weakness of the dollar. Must be Intel and oil?

I think themarket is still fundamentally sound andthat the jobs report should be taken with a grain of salt (it's still moving in the right direction). There is still positive newsto be derivedtoday. As you've mentioned oil is still going down plus interest rates are dropping again. Even the dollar, which is dropping as we speak, should help the "I" fund today. That all keeps consumers spending for the moment. Some words by the Fed are due today as well. Stay tuned.

It is the Microsoft dividend (remember it hit at the market close yesterday)....fundamentally the market sucks (badly overbought).

The Europeans/Japenese have also been dumping tons of cash in the market the last two weeks.

We are in a bubble. The retail/auto sales data have the true picture for the U.S. investor.

Glad to see you're back MT! I need another sounding board.

I agree, the Microsoft dividend plays into this. And although the market appears to be overbought can we not take advantage of the situation? Is market sentiment with us? The bears have not been able to make any headway of late. I don't think it can last, but how long do you think we can ride this train?

Hey Coolhand (sounds like a western character),

Yes, $32B going into the market plays into this? Hey that is more then the tax cut last year. Remember the run that gave us last year?

This train left the station and will arrive late January after the IRA/ROTH money has been dumped in and the hedge funds start shorting the heck out of the market. Just like this year. You will see that this trend has happened since the bear market. I am going to go 100% G fund the third week of January and then start playing the ups and downs like I did this year.

Good luck!

Bill

See the trend??? If MM was not on this board I will share more but on the open board this is as direct as I will get. Go F fund! Moron.

Now I know why your back, the last time you were her you told everyone "get out of the market, it's very bearish" ...........Then the market went up and you "disappeared". Now we finely come to the impending pull back, probably, and you come back and say "stay in, we're bullish", LOL. You're one funny dude.................

Good luck all, be careful................MT never posted his returns when he was here before, doubt he starts now............

You should get off his back milkman. Diverse opinions are useful factors in making an overall assessment. And, you're getting personal again..
