However your observations/thoughts are best linked to indicies rather than specific stocks performance as such generalisations are pretty sweeping and dangerous - but once your comments are applied to indicies, there is much merit in what you both say. And yes Im a bear, but now facing up to reality. I beleive any downward movements this year will be limited to 1% to 3% over a very few day(s) on the DJA, and then the up trend continues. Dips may be regular but the up trend will continue to hold. I will not be looking at any other indicies as the DJA has such strength to even though its stock representation is so very limiteddownosedivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330098599116167405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789233.post-13530312429017453522007-05-14T09:59:00.000-07:002007-05-14T09:59:00.000-07:00Par?

GAME OVER, Permabears!!!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>--<BR/><BR/>Bear-of-all-bears, Richard Russell, famous since 1958 for his Dow Theory newsletters, just hung up his very well-worn bear costume and is now envisioning an unprecedented global economic boom citing Dow Theory technicals.<BR/><BR/>Mark Hulbert's article cited a recent possible "fundamental" support for this outcome being China Banking Regulatory Commission's recent action.<BR/><BR/>In an attempt to cool its overheated stock market, China Banking Regulatory Commission had ruled that Chinese banks "can now invest as much as 50 percent of funds in overseas stock markets."<BR/><BR/>Slothower calculates that this means that "up to $2.3 trillion in China monies ... can now move out of China."<BR/><BR/>To put a sum like that in perspective, consider that the total value of all publicly traded stocks in this country is around $15.1 billion, according to Wilshire Associates. If even a modest fraction of the $2.3 trillion makes its way into U.S. stocks, we could see a "further parabolic advance in equities," as Slothower puts it.<BR/><BR/>Interesting article:<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/2d2jtr<BR/><BR/>---beanie11111https://www.blogger.com/profile/06849880637739382620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789233.post-55181977507002031022007-05-13T17:14:00.000-07:002007-05-13T17:14:00.000-07:00as foir the SP 500. the old highs should be a magn...as foir the SP 500. the old highs should be a magnet.<BR/><BR/>http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/7533/spxmonthlyer1.gifAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789233.post-86075991544829183332007-05-13T17:12:00.000-07:002007-05-13T17:12:00.000-07:00I don't see anything plausible about the $RUT char...I don't see anything plausible about the $RUT chart except chop.

Buffett actually welcomed it last week, and said he'd have a separate meeting for them.<BR/><BR/>As for the rest, let's pick timeframes. Dell had been a fine short for 18 months between JAN 05 and JUL 06. If your point is to be nimble, and play both sides, I agree.<BR/><BR/>@fund's point was some theoretical hogwash. You don't buy and sell stocks in theory, you do it in reality with real stocks and real money and real margin and risks, and perhaps most importantly real EMOTIONS.<BR/><BR/>Selling short is a tool that can be highly effective under the proper circumstances. Which is the best that could be said about buying long.Momo Faderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080754377215193490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789233.post-57360554255315182502007-05-13T12:22:00.000-07:002007-05-13T12:22:00.000-07:00WE ARE GOING HIGHER THIS WEEK.WE ARE GOING HIGHER THIS WEEK.beanie11111https://www.blogger.com/profile/06849880637739382620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11789233.post-76271713410143091792007-05-13T10:08:00.000-07:002007-05-13T10:08:00.000-07:00well maybe not to infinity but BRK/A, Dell, MSFT, ...well maybe not to infinity but BRK/A, Dell, MSFT, GE.
