Small caps are where a lot of the profits are and therefore are being overly sold - watch for the rally once the fools have sold everything.

Wow! I get busy away from work for a few days, the market goes south then north again and I fall back to page number 3. Well I'm back on page 1 for the moment. :D That case of beer sure didn't last long either.

Here is how 1/12th of that super committee is spending his vacation:

Getting out in the world of working people is something he likes to do when Congress is in recess.“I want to stay totally connected with people, see what’s on their minds, get their thoughts,” Baucus said, during a break from his store duties. “I learn an awful lot by doing this.” When Sister Mary Dostal dropped by for a 15-minute chat, Baucus stood up for a talk. Dostal, co-director of Angela’s Piazza, a women’s drop-in center, was friendly but to the point.

That's right, when a nun gets ahold of you like that, you better stand up and listen.

“We shouldn’t blame each other, but rather find conditions where people open up their ears and minds and listen to the other person’s point of view, build some trust,” Baucus said, perhaps alluding to his new committee assignment. “You don’t build up trust by blaming; you only build trust by listening and finding some common ground.”

Maybe there's hope for some change after all. What are your representatives doing?
 
Some are calling this a short squeeze, so that means a lot of folks are under-invested. Until the next dose of bad news come out, the under-invested will scurry to get in. That's my guess - only because I didn't have a coin on me. :D

Good thing the markets have closed. The last 15 minutes got a bit squirrelly. :worried:

Profit takers. Went lower in after-market trading too, but seems to have leveled out and come up a little with light volume. I can't wait to get to Think or Swim so I can do after-market and pre-market trading...
 
Talk about a crazy market this week.

The S fund Down 8+, Up 6+, Down 4 and up 5+. So tomorrow we will need a +2% day at least just to get back to even for last Fridays close.
 
So what will today bring? 3 up days in a row and I am 3% under my 2011 start and 10% below my year high. If I can get above my 2011 start I might think about going into protect mode. September is going to be a tough call. I will be on travel for two weeks and won't have a computer for most of that time. Good luck today.

Stay safe as you travel, remember that IFT's can be done via the telephone when Technology is unavailable. Protect mode is my thinking and I'm likely to pull out today. Since we can no longer say that "tomorrow is another day" lets just say "When in May Go Away ---- When in Fall, Buy It All" (LoL) I just twisted the old saying to fit my way of thinking. (LoL)

SB my Jedi Master. Thank you for stopping by. I noticed you have stayed positive on the tracker. Better than me. :notrust: Tough call for September.

September is a Hundred Years Away, when you consider the volitility and swings of this Market. I for one, believe we're in for more negativity and another swing downward because the important data looms heavy on the Markets shoulders. Being at the tippy top of a 4 Wave pattern and the other technical stuff weighs heavy as well. We saw panic in the streets not too long ago, then we saw Rebound Heaven (but way too much excitement) and too much of a rebound. I think we will level off LOWER as volitility subsides. Of coarse, you know this is only my GUT speaking and I really don't know what the heck is going to happen. When all is said and done, I just close my eyes, cross my fingers and say a prayer. Good Luck with any decision you make my young Padawon. Your the best !
 
Well we gave back about two thirds of what the market gave us Friday. Probably going to give the rest of it back today with interest. :suspicious:
