Best January Since 1997

The January effect is here. The S&P is up 5% for the month of January, the best performance since 1997. How did the market fair in February following a +4% showing?

Your inquisitive desires beckon me to answer.

First have a look at January.

Now have a look at February you stupid child.

Three out of four times the market went up in February. 2001 was different, since  retards ruled the roost and the market was getting gaveled on a daily basis. Plus our government was secretly plotting to knock down the World Trade Center and plant the seeds to destroy the entirety of modern finance.

Nevertheless, we are in striking distance of NEW ALL TIME HIGHS for the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Rest assured we will take out the new highs and piss on the graves of all the old men who waived their canes at the market, as it lit up higher.

    That was about the time the retail investor started coming into the market and the NASDAQ started marching to 5000.
    Alan Greenspan warned in Dec. 1996 that the markets exhibited “irrational exuberance.”
    That’s when it really took off.
    There will be a similar situation when the retail person comes in realizing the market has been up for 4 years or so.

      I believe people are ditching cable and going to apps like NFLX, Hula, Roku, Amazon On Demand, HD antennas for the local stuff, etc.
      This should continue.

        I’ve been on this setup for a few years. It’s pretty great although I curse NFLX every time I turn it on for having nothing to watch. Then I resort to watching documentaries made in the 90’s and wearing my duster.

            I have no idea why people buy Apple TV boxes. Totally overpriced. Western Digital boxes destroy them. Supports DNLA out of the box and will play anything I throw at it. Far superior in its functionality and allows you to tinker with it all day long. Best of all: no itunes. Apple TV isnt even the 3rd best option IMO.

            What the hell are you talking about?

            ATV supports iTunes . What the hell does a wdc do? I never even heard of it.

            Obviously ATV supports it. I want to get away from it. My WD box accomplishes this and more. Getting you away from itunes is a good thing. itunes is garbage. I want total control over my devices and data, itunes limits this.

            I recommend looking into it:

            How in the world do you buy movies if not from an iTunes platform?

            Where will you rent movies? Surely not nflx.

            iTunes has the biggest catalog of movies anyhwhere. Stop hating

            vudu.com – most movies in 1080p out there. Of course, that kind of video quality doesn’t matter when you’re old and cannot see very well.

            Netflix doesnt have a ton of must see movies but in my opinion have great content. Their focus is on TV shows, which provide weeks rather than a few hours of entertainment. Have you seen Luther? House of Cards (the original)? Downton Abbey? Hell on Wheels? Just pick one and start watching. I had never seen “its always Sunny in Philadelphia” until i started watching on NFLX a few weeks ago; what a hilarious show. My eldest son watches SpongeBob while taking a dump. All well worth $8 per month. My coffee costs that much for Christs sake.

    VHC is salivating over that AAPL cash, I am sure.
    No need to garnish their Bank Account or send the Sheriff in to AAPL HQ and levy on the computers.

    So what happens to AAPL if on the earnings call Cook says a 2-1 split and that China will allow it to buy some of China Mobile?
    Just day dreaming.

    I just bought a very small tiny minuscule amount of AAPL in AH @ 460.65.
    I am in a gambling mood.
    The stock is a pig with cash.
    Of course, I will dump it no matter what sometime tomorrow.

    I’m a NFLX subscriber but only because I’m too lazy to hit the cancel button. Been one since the first days. Why would anyone join today? Disney or not the selection is pretty lame. Once the shorts are amply squeezed surely the stock will succumb to the earth’s gravitational force.

    AAPL… why would anyone who earns money buy shares before earnings? Idiotic.
