FWIW, the Russel 2000, which is supposedly a better gauge of the health of domestic companies, HAS broken out to the upside of all previous long term resistance trendlines, which is quite bullish, and made new all time highs. It could be a fake out, but if any kind of pullback finds that previous resistance as support, it will be full steam ahead for the markets. If the Dow and S&P also make new all time highs, it's going to negate those super bearish potential outcomes that many people are talking about. I hope!

Here is a powerful warning:

Quote:
According to Hulbert Financial Digest, newsletters have increased their recommended Nasdaq exposure to nearly 94%, meaning that the average newsletter is recommending a nearly fully invested position. Since the year 2000, there has been only 1 week that exceeded this reading, which was March 31, 2000.

I sold INTC in my Roth, 2/3 SPHIX High Income, some NYMT (kept it in my regulat acct), sold BMY for the big gain and bought more COP.
 
Im just sitting... If I collect divvy on lower cost shares, good for me. If they appreciate, good for me.
 
1) PGH is back down and I do wanna buy more today...

2) PG sure has run up; makes me wanna sell and take the profits, but it's in my taxable acct and I don't want to feed the, uh, you know.

1) Was thinking the same thing...

2) Im at the same place with MON...
 
The NYS teacher's pension fund sold all their shares in gun manufacturers. They said they did it on a moral basis.

I would guess that they sold to raise cash to pay current benefits. Usually, these pension funds must have a certain % allocation in fixed income that's matched to even the cash flow to pay monthly benefits. There's no income in fixed income. My guess is that this was done for cover as the actuarial assumptions have never been adjusted to reflect the recent real returns.
 
Yeah, I bought it and sold it after the last mini-run, Looks like Ill do it again and catch the divvy this time around...

Too bad Ive been slammed on FTE...
 
EEP got a 3.8% haircut too!

Up 20% + dividends short-term on PG in my Taxable acct. & thinking about locking in that gain.

I got a bad feeling for what's coming.

Anyone hear about the Wal-mart e-mail?? “In case you haven’t seen a sales report these days, February MTD sales are a total disaster,” Jerry Murray, Wal- Mart’s vice president of finance and logistics, said in a Feb. 12 e-mail to other executives, referring to month-to-date sales."

OMG!

I have that same bad feeling! That WMT news was not good.
 
Hummm... I think that 2% paycheck cut + the gas going up 80-90 Cents a Gallon are putting people back into hunkering-down-mode.

Seeing lower traffic in stores? Anyone else have that bad feeling about the economy??

Well, lets do the Math. The gas price increase hit the 2 of us $32 a week, or $128 a month.

The 2% tax increase hit us by $95 a month, (not including trips like tomorrow...).

$128 + $95 = $223 LESS WE HAVE A MONTH!! No wonder!
