To the Nabobs of Negativity…

One day “they” say that the PC business is going gangbusters. Earnings are announced and drooled over. The ancillary businesses are doing well too and the PC complex proceeds to rally 10-30%.

Then, literally, in two weeks, the entire complex is downgraded and the PC business is in “dire straights”. Nobody will be buying PC’s, hard drives, video cards, keyboards, etc. because the only product selling is the iPad.

Do you believe these imbiciles? These are the sames folks that tell you not to buy high-yielding defensive stocks because there is “no growth”.

The structure of our economy is changing. The structure of the stock market is changing. We need to change the structure of the people who talk to investors. They need to be swept out like the over-the-hill Senior Congressman who have taken a few too many “travel junkets”.

Change is everywhere whether we like it or not. Let’s make sure change occurs where it is needed most.

BTW–don’t expect much from the FED. They will tell you lies with a straight face…

Know what?

I’m looking at “my stuff” and seeing that we can go higher here. Yes, we are definitely overbought and at major resistance.

Usually, when we remain this overbought and so close to a major resistance (or support) area, we eventually build up enough force to get through.

I don’t know what the FED will say but I don’t think they want to “upset” the markets. Or do they?

Hmmm. Let’s see…

We’ve broken the intermediate-term downtrend line. 

We are above the 50 & 200 day moving averages. 

We’re in a near-term uptrend that is one month old.

Mornings are down and afternoons are up.

The dips are being bought.

We are at the top of our trading range and nobody believes it is sustainable.

The dollar is down big and commodities have ramped hard.

The Fed and Treasury are out in force.

Individual investors are way long the bond market and out of stocks. 

Computers and prop desks run the low-volume market.

It is the dead of summer.

The unemployment numbers are coming tomorrow and the market is saying that it doesn’t care.

Volatility will last a few hours perhaps, but the markets will continue on their march higher.

After a little pullack to the $SPX 1110 area, continue to be long or be wrong…

How do I know this? Greenspan and Bernanke told me so.

In a dream.
