C-fund

**clester** · 05-20-2007, 09:52 PM

We had a C fund break out friday. Many say we may have some resistance at 1527, but we have solid support at 1500, also some support at 1515. C-fund still outperforming on a monthly basis. Will we have a pullback this week? Profit taking?

C fund getting beat by the S fund today. Is this a new trend? S&P seems a little tentative as it nears the 1527 mark. The all time intaday high is way up at 1552 (?) I think. Tuesdays are a little scary to me (maybe profit taking tomorrow) . What to do for tomorrow? We a little above the middle of the short term channel.

If you don't have confidence, please don't play on the rails because the train is coming through.

Are we going to have to "fill in" that gap opening today with a retest of 1490 in the near future?

Gaps usually don't get completely filled during bull markets. Ride the wave up.

Companies in the SPX bought back $110 billion of stock in the first quarter. That brought the total over the past four quarters to $442 billion - enough to buy the bottom 100 companies in the S&P 500. Buybacks reduce the number of shares outstanding, lifting earnings per share. Over the last seven years profits advanced more quickly than stock prices and as a result stocks don't look very expensive. And with the advent of private equity on the prowl more companies in the SPX will be taken private. We could see a number over 1700 on the index in 2008. Rock on.

Bear with me on my first attempt to post an image.

From Chart of the Day http://www.chartoftheday.com/20070629.htm?T

Today's chart illustrates the average monthly gain of both large-caps (S&P 500 - gray bars) and small-caps (Russell 2000 - blue bars). The chart illustrates that stocks (both large-caps & small caps) have had a tendency to struggle at sometime during the summer with small-caps not really beginning a strong rally until November.

This suggests to me to "lean toward" C over S fund for July and September.

I agree. Thanks for sharing it. I may have to use it myself.

Got a big favor to ask. My computer crashed and was able to recover nothing. Does anyone have the graphical link to yahoo that shows the spx with the two moving averages (not sure of the days), i think the lines are blue for the close of spx and red and green for the moving averages. It has been a great tool and I got it from here. Thanks again.
