... yup, measured bull moves and upward price channels. Much smaller chance for a correction like last May after the Fed's re-tweaking of their language.
I'm not a multi-millionaire yet, but I plan to be prior to 2010. I just can't give up those wonderful DCAs just yet - but I'm thinking about taking a different turn perhaps later this year. Now if one includes the earnings of the Mrs and her defined contribution plan then you could say multi but it's not really that much money. Can you feel the ground shaking from all the hoofs heading toward the market - there's a good move building and it won't be a blow off top. We are going much higher on all indexes. The Goldilocks economy will leave far fewer companies vulnerable to an unexpected setback and many new investors might decide that stocks could trade at much richer valuations than they do now. 2007 will be the year of multiple expansions of P/Es.

Maybe during the 9 month nesting. I continue to think it will be a light bottom. The S&P's relatively narrow trading could be consolidation before an eventual explosion higher. If the S&P 500 breaks through the upper channel and holds it on a retest, that will mark the beginning of a new upward bull market trend. Remember, I'm still of the opinion that we are in a mega trend secular bull market with currently high NYSE breadth MCSUM readings. Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimisim and die on euphoria. Look how crowded that lilly pad has become. The June/July 2006 bottom had the worst total put/call ratio in the last 12 years - it was a perfect set up that is still in force. Buy and hold works if stocks are going to rise steadily for several years.
The pin action yesterday was in good form, I made $17K on a 51 point gain. That now leaves me with a pull down of $84K - $16K more to go to hit the goal. May or may not do it today. All will depend on the transports. As we move closer to the 3 of 3 epicenter the bigger the point moves you will see in the Dow. With each positive breadth plurality day we have on the NYSE from this juncture, this would mean new all-time highs on the ratio adjusted (RA) NYAD line as well. The name of the game is liquidity and capital appreciation - no CP for me.
With a 20 point drop yesterday I managed to gain $2K on the day. That puts me at $86K for the month. Not quite what I wanted but now is not the time to be proud. February is here and I'll take anything I can get - talk about not being proud. A gain of $60K in 18 trading days would be magnifico - but I'll probably gives some back on the month. I do plan to do some more buying if we have softness and will buy on any continued strength - I got some sweet profits that are burning a hole in my pockets. Looking for that epicenter. Can anyone besides me believe that 3 of 3 may not end until Dow 20,000? Get ready for some strong potential melt ups - look what happened in the real estate asset class - with all the inherent speculation.
"....and it's arguably the simplest definition of whether stocks are in a bull market or a bear market". "Total assets in Rydex funds is amazingly at a 3-year low despite the fact that the S&P 500 index is at a multi-year high, if you can believe that".

At the current time, market liquidity, as measured by the NYSE advance/decline data, continues to streak higher against the divergent structures of RSI and MACD. The trend has been undeniable - a great lesson in what a third wave looks and feels like....learn from it. If we do make new highs on the MCSUM and start seeing renewed gap expansion to the upside March or April will then come into play as the time duration for this current advance. The weekly RA-AD line diverges with price long before a serious price correction unfolds. Due to that characteristic, the probability is very low any major price decline is in the cards over the coming months. The next hurdle for the NY Composit weekly AD MCSUM will be the +1487 level high posted February, 2005. We could now be back to both the 9 month and 4 year cycles moving concurrently in the same direction and this should provide enough staying power to continue for several months. The DJUA often hits its high well before the final high of the market as a whole by about 3 months. A Dow Theory Primary trend buy confirmation will be the sentry moment for the bull to stampede. As long as the NYAD continues to move higher and higher so will price and the longer it does the longer the advance will run. Looking at the angle of ascent longer term of the NYAD - the more the acute the angle, the more powerful the trend of money flow is. We are at the most acute angle right now where the only real comparison was in the 2003 period wfen, again, both the 9 month and 4 year cycle were moving up concurrently in tandem.

wv-girl,
Thanks for that informative read - I'm only sorry that ayla will miss it.
No fear, she's lurking...
I searched high and low for an old time buy signal in the years of 2004, 2005, and 2006. This signal used to be a standard sign - but have no fear because it has finally surfaced. Beginning Tuesday, 1/30/07, the NYSE posted three consecutive days of advance-decline breadth ratios greater than 2 to 1. The consecutive days of 2 to 1 A/D plurality coincided with new 52-week highs in both price, as measured by SPX, and the cumulative NY A/D line itself. Does it mean anything - probably not. Cumulative breadth always diverges with price prior to price declines greater than 10%. Be right and sit tight. Most of the good economic news arrives tomorrow.
