It's Getting Hot in Here

Lots of action lately. That minor top/sell signal that I mentioned in my last post has run down against good support that I talked about (I said it was around DOW 11K), that support is exactly DOW 10,860. We have dipped below that on the daily chart with oversold Stoch. So I believe that we are pausing to gather some strength together and move higher. However, if we have a weekly close below 10,860 in the DOW, I will be moving to all cash until we rally. Stay tuned.

What to do Now?

As you most likely know, the Dow dropped 500 points yesterday resulting in the loss of all of your gains for 2011 .
I looked at my charts last week and saw a minor top. Yes a minor top on the daily and weekly charts. There was nothing on the monthly charts. So the way I see this thing, we expected a pull back to some support. That support could be as low as 11,000 in the DOW.
My point is I don't think we have an end to the bull yet. So I am staying all in (the total stock market).

Summertime Report

We seem to be progressing in a manor not uncommon or unexpected. A quick check of the Wilshire 5000 index shows a retracement to support 1st discovered in March 2011. We jumped off that and appear to be headed, in the short term, to around 14,600 (we are currently sitting around 13,700). Maybe getting there sometime before mid September. This would translate to around 12,900 in the Dow (currently at 12,100). So just keep dollar cost averaging into the total stock market and you should make money. Chit-chat later.

It's OK to be a Bull or a Bear but not a Chicken or Pig

So I was too chicken to call time on my last price where all along I thought price would be hit before April of 2011. Well, I will now go back to forecasting time along with price. Only because it's so impressive when you hit it. We got our 12,273 in the Dow, but the pull back hasn't happened yet.
It does not matter. There is still lots of upside left in this market. This is what I'm calling now, some zigs and zags but overall up. I expect Dow 15,000 before End of 2012. We are currently sitting at Dow 12,391. Stay tuned and fully invested in the total stock market.

New Year! What's UP?

Well, the markets are going higher. I haven't posted for awhile because there has been nothing interesting to post about. We did not get our 11,500 in the DOW by the end of July 2010. But that's OK. We actually got it in mid December. So I was 4 1/2 months early on the time even though the price was good. And as we all know, we only care about price.

I think we have more up side in 2011. In the short term I'm calling for DOW 12,273 (currently we are closed at 11,787). After we hit 12,273 or so, there may be a pull back to the 10,900 area before we head on a run at 13,000.

Since I seem to be so bad on dates, I'm not going to give out any this time :)
So with that, I will continue to invest in the total stock market.
See you when something interesting happens.

Not Done Yet

Not a whole lot to say here. We did not get to our 11,500 level in the DOW but that's OK.
This market is still technically valid and bullish. We will keep adding money to it via DCA.
Although I have heard one major investment advisor proclaim a buying opportunity recently meaning everybody should go all in. Talk to you later.

Summertime Markets

This market looks to be building a base of good support in the 9700 area of the Dow.
What I'm looking for is more upside. It's been tough getting to where we want to go because the world is so financially intertwined.
You know, when almost any country burps, it seems all countries hiccup.
In any event, my last forecast still stands.
See you next month.
