Anyone need a lab rat??

Did not want to be exposed to the retailer report and be exposed to the reports day, especially the FOMC report.

Dr Greenspan was unable to expend his term beyond Jan 06 and this wording will be his first report after that...the trade balance came in hot....he does not like that...we will see at the end of the day. There is I told you so outlook here from the good Doc with the administration to let the dollar fall. Following dollar means the imports coming over will cost more and that will cause inflation. Last time the dollar fall like this was 1987 and the S&P 500 dropped 25% in two days. It took a long time to get back to even after that. Dr Greenspan was the FED Chief then...he does not want to happen againto end his tour because that will be how he is remembered...the guy that let it happen twice on his watch.

Yesterday was a mark up/carrot day. Now the mutual fund people are exposed because
text_editor.focus();
they are trapped like your relatives...

I explained why I went 100% G last thursday.

I am hoping the sale off is today if it is tomorrow I will still have some in reserve to average down. The hedge fund guys know the cut off is 1200 and you notice the sell offs start around 2pm.

Good luck!

Yes historically yesterday was a very strong day.

Write this down...the Monday before options expiration are very strong. Friday should be very strong also with options expiration and the QQQQ rebalance...this is why I recommend everyone get in the market today. The I fund will not like the trade balance report tomorrow which is why I advised to wait until tomorrow to fund some in I.

Read my lips "you are mentally not right!!!!!!!!!" You say Monday before options expiration are very strong yet you get in today? Are you getting out Thurs. because Fri. is strong? You're conflicted brother............koo, koo, koo, koo...........

Next year I fund will be the best performing fund.

However the risk reward with the retail sales report could of lead to two down days in a row.

Nice little Icons.

Got any for your rodent species?

Bash all you want but at least I put myself out there and explain what I am doing and why. I am trying to help the board.

Keep helping, I'm sure some could use the reading practice. I'll just keep outperforming you.................:^

My Little Fury Suppository,

Today historically the weakest day of December. Risk/reward....you want to get out (say like last Thursday) and get back in on after the NAVs drop.

Lots of hammers today, trade balance, CU, BI and FOMC - the wording on the FOMC meeting can be very harmful.

Big deal is I missed the mark up day yesterday (a flat sales report is not too bullish to me - we came in at .01 and everyone thinks that is great?). The second most important month to retailers came in .01. The target was 0.0!!! Look at the calendar if the sales report is not good now...what is it going to look like moving forward. Hmm...what I am I missing??

We will see at the end of the day where we stand.

Bash me all you want but if the data like the trade report keeps rolling in you could be in for good pain and I will be in for good NAVs.

Historically yesterday was just as bad as today, soooooooooo? Yes we will see, I bet you retreat to yourhole again...........:^

Kiss my "fury little suppostitory"

Don't get too excited with that one!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, like March 2000? Things bad happy when the investors do not read and take action on the data not the hopes of not missing out on the IRA funding run.

Good luck V-man.

Risk/reward - do you really want to be in stocks in front of the trade balance report?

Good luck today. I will be buying at today's NAVs.

Hope no one is in the F fund today. Treasury bonds are being given away right now.

You say "hopefully folks did not chase the carrot" then you say "I will be buying at today's NAVs"................I don't get you.

I went to Walmart at 1pm on Saturday and felt like a VIP...I was all by myself -two weeks prior to Xmas???

Just curious, how many people vacation in Hawaii to shop at Walmart?

And what is a man of your "stature" doing at Walmart anyway? Looking to buy it?

You were dead wrong on the retail sales report. You expected a decline (and/or your posted info did,a source for which wasn't included which equals... plagiarism?)and instead they posted gains. More importantly, the previous month's data was revised upward. Instead of admitting that you were totally wrong and accepting responsibility for your negative spin on here, you change the subject and start in on how a Wal-Mart you were allegedly at on Saturday was empty. *roll eyes*

Waste of bandwidth.

No problem.

Hey Xmas or Holiday Day or whatever is the PC way to call it now...

.01 increase in retail sales

and .02 increase in business inventorys

11 days prior to Xmas is not a very bullish thing at least to me - I believe that was a reason for people to mark up the market for todays fun.

I went to Walmart at 1pm on Saturday and felt like a VIP...I was all by myself -two weeks prior to Xmas???

I believe Monday was a mark up day and hope people in G fund did not take the carrot and waited for the trade balance report today.

I hope I am wrong...but my instincts are normally pretty good.

Have a great day!
