Sounds like another rally is about to take hold, folks.

The Dow is still up (slightly) from where it was when you started this thread. Shouldn't you wait for it to actually decline before you bump it?
Apple is in free fall, so the global economy is slumping.Market has started to turn here....
I didn't bump it.The Dow is still up (slightly) from where it was when you started this thread. Shouldn't you wait for it to actually decline before you bump it?
:bump:please define your time frame then.Where did I say the time horizon is 3 weeks?of all the calls you've made over the years is this the worst?
Depends on how you define "today":bump:please define your time frame then.Where did I say the time horizon is 3 weeks?of all the calls you've made over the years is this the worst?
I doubt it, but please tell us why you think this?I know lhucks gets a bad rap here but he is dead on with this one.
The market is getting ready to implode ala a few years ago. If you are heavily into the market you will lose a lot of money over the next year.
The doom and gloom stories that I have seen have brokers telling big investors to sell sell sell before the end of the year to take advantage of existing capital gains laws before they expire and the taxes go up a ton for next year. If this is true, I can see a dip happening, but not the cataclysm predicted.I doubt it, but please tell us why you think this?I know lhucks gets a bad rap here but he is dead on with this one.

You might have picked this news story linked at the bottom of that page for better impact.Run for the hills
you cant take any article seriously that says the market will go through a “correction” of 90%.You might have picked this news story linked at the bottom of that page for better impact.Run for the hills
Especially with less than 2 weeks knowing if there is either a change of the guard (guessing good for the market) or the markets reaction to 4 more years of the same POTUS (guessing no bueno for the market).I didn't bump this thread as to say the market is gong to implode on it's self nor did I do it to say that Lhucks is right. All I remember was a few of us saying that the market as a whole has come along way and that the so called fiscal cliff would impact the market sometime after QE3, and then that idea got crapped on as the market ran up 5-6%. I think the Market is in a very very interesting level here. I personally wont go on record as saying the S&P will do X Y or Z because nobody knows for sure. I will say however that now is a time for active management of your wealth. Tread carefully.

Its really a thread on it's own, but I think Barry would be better for the market in the short/medium term. Romney has to hold the line a little bit on the fiscal cliff (as far as cuts go) and I think that would impact the market more then any other reason related to the election.Especially with less than 2 weeks knowing if there is either a change of the guard (guessing good for the market) or the markets reaction to 4 more years of the same POTUS (guessing no bueno for the market).I didn't bump this thread as to say the market is gong to implode on it's self nor did I do it to say that Lhucks is right.

Don't markets typically (over)adjust more for long term foreseeable gains more so than short/intermediate gains?Its really a thread on it's own, but I think Barry would be better for the market in the short/medium term.

Man, if anyone reads this thread for any sense of market advice they are making a huge mistake.
tough times for Chase, as their stock price is down about 10% from its 52-week high.
Understood but you can understand his logic right? High public debt, low growth prospects, and high FT unemployment is a recipe for disaster.Just as a note Mish is a perma-bear.

http://www.investorsfriend.com/asset_performance.htmIn the 20 years ended 2011 stocks were actually beaten by 20 year-term government bonds and were also extremely volatile. Gold also did very well over these 20 years.Finally, if we focus on just the 12 years since the turn of this new century, which also coincides with the 12 years since the last stock market peak (bubble), stocks did very poorly in that period. Gold was the winner by far. And 20-year government bonds also did very well.
THATS NOT WHY WE RE HERE!Man, if anyone reads this thread for any sense of market advice they are making a huge mistake.
No problem Pickles.Consider this thread a selfless act.THANK YOU LHUCKS
whenever you're ready to give the recap, ace.The Dow was at 12,997 when LHUCKS started this thread and it's already all the way down to 13,075.
That 66 point drop over the last 2+ months has been pretty devastating.You start this Monday, you might have something going. You bump this today, just more idiocy.
oh, we're just getting started big guy.That 66 point drop over the last 2+ months has been pretty devastating.You start this Monday, you might have something going. You bump this today, just more idiocy.
No. We're not. Your idiocy has been rampant for quite some time.oh, we're just getting started big guy.That 66 point drop over the last 2+ months has been pretty devastating.You start this Monday, you might have something going. You bump this today, just more idiocy.
It's pretty much impossible to call a top. His advice was sound then and is sound now. If you are heavily in stocks you are going to get destroyed very soon.That 66 point drop over the last 2+ months has been pretty devastating.You start this Monday, you might have something going.

Basically people think that the debt doesn't matter and claim that there is no inflation. When people refuse to look at reality, it's not worth discussing it with them. Inflation is rampant, and the debt is out of control.'LHUCKS said:Nice to have some objectivity in this thread.'shader said:It's pretty much impossible to call a top.

I agree with your premise. I personally think another market crash similar to 2008 is coming.here's a question.What warrants a "get your money out of the market" post?impending 500 point dow drop?impending 1000 point dow drop?impending 3000 point dow drop?1000 points is plenty, but honestly i feel like those are the waves of the market.But honestly if the anticipated correction isn't 15% of the dow or more I think most long term investors are wasting their time market timing
I would be surprised if the market hit is less than 500 points(very very conservative call) based on the information I get from our analysts and strategists. Conservative corporations tend to guard against the worse so I could be getting a skewed perspective. We'll see, all eyes are on D.C.I may push my time horizon on this from 4 months(original post) to six months.There are just way too many SIGNFICANT red flags out there.Again, ALL the smart guys I know that are economists for a living got out over a month ago. Actions speak louder than words when it comes to money matters.here's a question.What warrants a "get your money out of the market" post?impending 500 point dow drop?impending 1000 point dow drop?impending 3000 point dow drop?1000 points is plenty, but honestly i feel like those are the waves of the market.But honestly if the anticipated correction isn't 15% of the dow or more I think most long term investors are wasting their time market timing
