I'm a cynic, wearing a tin foil hat, standing on a weak soap box.
The economy sucks and consumers are not going to spend very much IMO. If they spend it will be on Credit Card and I feel the most are pushing up against the limit of their cards already. Credit Card companies are, IMO, seeing record balance carry over and probably are concerned that people will not be able to make their minimum payments anymore. That is the next news headline.
I am tempted to jump into the I fund for the weekend. I hate being in the market on a long weekend, but as I look at the FTSE and NIKK charts it seems that the I fund is due a major relief rally and on the other side of the coin the USD is due also. That would dilute any gains. As Griffin has said just when you think the USD can't go any lower, it does.
If I do anything it will be a small portion.
Did I mention the geopolitical stuff. Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, China, Russia, Venezuela, blah, blah, blah.
Good luck and good investing.
- Economy is expected to "slow noticeably" according to Ben.
- High energy prices.
- Ten months of homes to sell. Toll Bros. felling extreme pain.
- USD at a low and no sign of getting stronger.
- Consumer confidence very low.
- Retailers not optimistic for the Holiday shopping season.
- Inflation as a whole rising. Food inflation!!!
- Tremendous National Debt.
- Election year politics.

Yea, emotion is running high and the Bears have the upper hand for now.
From the looks of the OSM and the USM futures I am really getting a big itch to buy in. My big concerns are 1. to go big or go small, and 2. to go into one fund or spread it out. I am leaning toward a 34/34/32 split.
We are way oversold and a bounce is really due. If we don't and continue lower..................... Armageddon is near. Have ya noticed that Armageddon is my new favorite word.
I am in no way bullish, but I see another opportunity setting up. WMT and HD have me worried on Tuesday morning.
Did I mention I hate being in the market over the weekend.
Here are the charts I am looking at. I look at the FTSE and NIKK for the I fund because they almost make up 50% of the I fund and the rest of the market OS will follow with them. I feel it gives me a more pure look at the OSM.
FTSE http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$FTSE&p=D&st=2007-01-01&id=p51972347693
NIKK http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$NIKK&p=D&st=2007-01-01&id=p51972347693

S http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$EMW&p=D&st=2007-01-01&id=p51972347693
Going for a 30 minute drive to think about it and will make a final decision at the normal last minute time.
Good luck and good investing.

hey Show, how's the bee situation?

Poor health because of poor nutrition, over stressing, over use of pesticide, and over working hive in pollination. This is causing collapse and PMS, Parasitic Mite Syndrome.
With pesticides we have over used them both outside the colony and inside the colony to control mite population.
I have decided to take a stand and not treat my hive with pesticides and try to keep them as healthy as possible with natural methods. Very time consuming and can be costly, but I find it to be an enjoyable challenge to produce chemical free bee’s and honey.
I can’t control everything outside the hive as they travel about a 3 mile radius, but I will control what I use inside the hive.

wv-girl,
There are probably 100 noobs and lurkers who wondered the same thing (like myself !) but were too timid to ask
Thanks for asking, and for the response...now we ALL know !

Come on Daddy needs a rally!!!!!!!
Three weeks of A/L, eat your hearts out!!!
Well the start of the trading week does not surprise me. As 12% pointed out, the USM will have to start the rally. If it does not start by Tuesday that will be fine by me and I will add some more shares to the pot. Come Thursday we better see some action upward.
I'm look'n at some UWM to play a rally and I bought some SIX to see if it will fill the gap. My limit order got shorted about 2000 shares of my 4000 share order because the dang thing rallied to soon for my order to get filled. Got some at $2.19 and I gotta quit low balling these plays so much.

Here we go folks, it is rally time. Don't know how long it will last but there is some money to be made. Markets don't go straight down or straight up. All markets are oversold and the Dollar looks to be heading down again. Is there no bottom to it? 
I have a physical today so I will make my IFT early. Just a reminder to all my friends. Take the time to get a physical. Get the pneumonia, flu, and tetanus shot. Check it all out because I know you are all Government employees and have access to it. Don't put it off because if there is something wrong the longer you wait the harder it is on your body and the longer it take to correct. <stepping off my soap box>
Good luck everyone and make some money. If you can't make some at least preserve your capital.

Well no follow through on the markets and that had me worried so I exited and I'm glad I did. I am thinking of stepping back in due to Thanksgiving seasonality.
STA had this as a bullish week Dow up 11 of last 13, 2003 broke a 10 year run. Expiration day Dow up 3 of last 4.
More to come.
