Re: Rod's Account Talk
One thing about Monday is that there is not a lot on the economic calendar. Just the NAHB home builders index @ 0830. As for earnings, look at the below link to see if you believe any of the "Before Bell" will significantly impact Monday's market. Don't forget to look at "After Bell" earnings for today that might affect Monday's open- although I don't see any that would. BTW, click on "Reporting" to sort them "Before Bell" and "After Bell."

Of course, as usual, weekend headlines will likely drive Monday's market in either direction.
BTW, the S&P 500 has gained 1.90% overall the last few Mondays dating back to 27 Apr. There have been no S&P 500 losses on those 3 Mondays. But then again, so far this has been the worst week for the market in 2 months. Therefore, that tide could very well change. We shall see!
For now, I remain 100 (F).
God Bless

Next week could be a good week because of some heavy hitters reporting earnings:Originally Posted by rangerray

Re: Rod's Account Talk
Because of my last couple of posts (earnings, in particular), I've been contemplating all weekend about making an IFT. Our deadline makes these decisions very difficult. But, I am leaning toward 100 (C) or 100 (S).

Re: Rod's Account Talk
If today's rally holds, will there be profit-taking or follow-through tomorrow? That's why it is usually a 50/50 crap shoot nowadays. But, tomorrow HD and WMT reports earnings that could assist with a follow-through. Both of these will report tomorrow before the bell. One thing though, HD is nearing its 52-week high... about 0.28 away from it as I write this. If it has a great report, there could be some profit-taking. WMT is still about $7 from its 52-week high.

Re: Rod's Account Talk
My problem is I'm so far in the hole that I have to roll with the punches. I'm down but not out. If I get out I've lost.

I read this book many years ago now. My main takeaway was his thoughts on asset allocation. 50 stocks 50 fixed income most of the time. Go as low as 25 stocks when valuations are high and 75 stocks when valuations are low.

Tired of sitting on the sidelines. And I take full responsibility for my own moves in the market, and give you none...
