FYI>>

Also, I feel compelled to ALERT this group to a new, MAJOR FLASHING RED ALERT sell signal.

As of this morning, SCMT is “fully invested”.

Certain DOOM is sure to befall the market.... soon.

I’ve not gotten my reliable signal yet - my brother. He’s exactly wrong, every time.

Bought gold at the 1982 top.
Bought stocks during dotcom boom.
Called me and told me to sell in March of 2003, and again in March 2009, at the very bottom each time.

I got a few of those correct, thanks to Bob Brinker, at MarketTimer.

But,in 2008? I blew it. Was OUT of the market in May/June... so proud of myself. I moved back in, fully... in August. Just saying that now scares me.....

Just today, I do this.. tell the world, and immediately our Sec of Def starts warning about terrorist attacks on the homeland... Great.

I now LIVE on a wall of worry.

Early profit taking?  Sudden capital asset transition?  This morning's futures put metals strong and stock indexes off.  Looking closer at the indexes what's really there is that it's the S&P that's off but the Dow and NASDAQ are still positive.

Ah. A Good Morning and Happy Open Line Friday everyone --the plot thickens!!  No major reports scheduled for today after what's been a week of pretty good news.  Speaking of news:

"...the dual mandate..."

We always hear about how legisation back in the '70's required the fed to worry about employment as well as prices, but everyone seems to have forgotten that back then the fed was also required to eliminate the trade deficit too.  My thinking is that a T-D fuss is just too goofy for all concerned so everyone opted to just ignore the subject til it was forgot and went off the radar.

Yes, clearly... they know we’re ON to them!

I think, they’re just testing. You know, to see if the market can stand on it’s own.

Hopefully, they will resume buying... soon.

Nice charts.... I actually still hear people trying to argue that ObamaCare is NOT a job killer.

Yea... right.

Actually, it’s really nothing new that with enough money, prestigious respected highly qualified experts can be paid to say the stupidest things for global warming, min.wage, obamacare, etc. What’s interesting to me is how so many other good, intelligent people accept and defend the dribble for free!
