It appears to me that we are steaming uphill, yet again! The "smart money" was buying at the end of today which bodes well for the coming 1-3 business days! Here we come santa!

Looks like we are slowly stair stepping our way to higher levels - the bull is still intact from my perspective. The rally the other day in the Treasury-bond market could be suggesting that the Federal Reserve, which meets Tuesday, could send a clear signal that policymakers will stop raising interest rates sooner rather than later. If so, that would be a boon for stocks next week.

To jittery investors, higher energy prices and a cooling housing market mean bad news for consumer spending. With a few weeks to go before Christmas, that could mean doom for the hoped-for Santa Claus rally, but I don't think so. For those of us who have made big bets that stocks would continue to surge in December could take a hit if the run-up is over, but I don't think so. There is much performance anxiety out there with 8,000 hedge funds chasing performance and some active traders got trapped anticipating a breakout but all will end well - I have confidence.

Watching the NYSE breadth MCSUM which is now at the +250 level, any move above that level will continue to support the idea a bull market is still going on, so next week or so will provide some additional longer term information regarding the longevity of the current advancing price structure. Every day all the way.

Not a chance.

teknobucks,

Hey #1 hope you can stay around so my education can continue.

See my coments to high-fidelity on house flooding regarding the I fund. Today.

And I'll say to you - Airborne All The Way - you've probably been hearing that lately.

The Technician and I seem to have formed an unspoken alliance to defend against the practice of infiltration by a maniacal Medusa with multiple aliases. I think I need to rent a larger hall when I plan the next golden praise party.

Hey there tekx$'s.....yeah, I saw this shift to the bullish side when the oil decided to cool off.....Birch thinks we're going to 40,000 on the DOW.....so do other market analysis......he must read them articles too.....:x......me thinks the US will be back in the game of world economics just by the recent moves of the dollar and such.....I can't see how we can keep buying from the world when we run out of money.....

In any case, where u been hard head..:l....hope the Hurricanes treated you well....
