Thread: Bullish or Bearish in January?

Bullish for me................:^ Not wait, bearish.............:^ No wait.......... :* :P

But seriously, I expect the big boys to start buying up after the first. I'm sure they were hoping the little guys and girls would run with their tail between their legs so they could buy lower. Some did, but some didn't. :!

Bearish at least the first half of January. I think it may have allready started. Where is this end of the year santa run???

Random thoughts...

End of the year has a lot of deposits into accounts without true appreciation in the value of stocks. January most likely will show a correction, that is healthy for the long run. I feel bearish forearly span ofJanuary,1/1 to1/20. After that, the bullswill run until May or June, with small adjustments. I think that International funds will perform better than US funds, but I agree with Tom's suggestion that we will have a good year for the C fund.

I'm sure some of those who were on the board last year can attest to the fact that we Bulls expected a big rally following Christmas and the election; bottom line....we lost most everything gained in Nov and Dec. I will approach 2006 with caution!

Key word is "expected". Everyone expected the market to continue up last Jan. and it didn't. This year everyone expected a "Santa rally", didn't happen. Now everyone expects a Jan. pullback, hmmmm...........

I'll be staying in, albiet with a short leash. Of course that could all change tomorrow.

Good luck,

I'm from White Bear Lake...go Bears!

Even today can't make up it's mind! Up, down, up, down...well, you get the idea. I just want to end this week/year with a tiny green color to recoup Tuesday's losses. A few pennies in S and C would be appreciated since I didn't have the good sense to jump on the I bandwagon:?

I'm pretty sure it'll end up. :^ The I fund I'm not so sure. Probably flat.

I'm almost whinning!! Will be more positive in the new year. Thanks, MM. Look forward to chatting another year and 1/2 until possible retirement!

BEUARLLISH! I THINK? :*
