Had to go back to find this. That was my job. It moves around from year to year when news out weighs Technical Analysis. It doesn't have anything to do with you personally. It just jumps on us once in a while. You have the skills to turn it.:) An excontrary indicator.
 
"Small caps have now outperformed large caps for nearly 14 years - the longest such period ever seen - excuse me while I kiss the sky." Birchtree, March, 2013.

Birch. There are many reasons why I follow your posts. You and I are about the same age and have gone through some similar events, to put it nicely. I never went to Nam, but during my peace time experiences in the Army and in civil service, ther were times that my life hung in the balance. However, I never quit, and by the way, I'll never quit on this market. Getting down to brass tacks. I'd have to say your comment above knocked me over, and maybe, it was only me that caught it. Using the Jimmy Hendrix words from "Purple Haze" has me laughing as I type. How better to state that the S fund is overvalued but to say, "excuse me while I kiss the sky." Keep them coming, keep posting, my fellow soldier.
 
Well, back home finally... missed the big snow dump in CO by a mere hours :)

Thought things were looking up this morning, but I guess once the retail buyers' orders were done being filled at 10am, the institutions decided to sell more shares than the buyers could handle...

Was hoping for an up day, but maybe that's not in the cards... We are down now as much as we were up at 10, gotta love the 1% swings :sick:

Have a great day and cya tomorrow!

P.S. Back at my buy in price for my ETFs, so once again, please use me as a contrarian indicator!

I'm in the same boat. I just hope we don't hit an iceberg and sink.

Hope the dip buyers come soon as we have done nothing but chop for over a week... If not, this could be ugly holding over a holiday week-end and if the volume picks up... ouch

Have a great day!
 
Relax buddy, this thing has to fool most of the people most of the time remember? I'll stick my neck out and say 1580 + or - before the profit taking begins. After that, up some more until they scale back the QE. Then get ready for a major hangover...

Scaling back QE won't happen until 2015... at the rate your talking S&P will be at about 1900... are you sure about this prediction?
 
And the sell off continues, please just use me as a contrarian indicator... especially since all my moves have been opposite of what the market does.

Have a great day :mad:

P.S. Looks like the dip buyers are on vacation, fine time to leave me Lucille...

Looks like at about 10:01am a big dog ran away and the puppies have been following since.
 
So, just had to say that the small caps lagging like they are is killing me... TNA dying on the vine. S-Fund is going south faster and faster...

So, I guess I am about 80% wrong this year... I will be posting some stats on just how bad my decisions have been this year, just so Amoeba feels good since he is doing much better than me.

Should have stayed in G...

Its like bleeding out of a finger, instead of just hitting the stupid jugular...

So, S&P is up, DOW is up, small caps are bleeding out... what does that mean, I lose more money...

Maybe it will recover tomorrow :(
