    The rally started yesterday and went into overdrive in Asia last night, Hong Kong was up 7%. This led to big gains in Europe as the G-20 members pledged massive global stimulus packages.

    The market-to-market changes will have no effect and JPM and C said as much today.

    I have stated that traders will be able to make a fortune in the markets in coming years. This is a nice start.image

    Lots of Dow love around the G20 campfire here. Let's see if it lasts. It must have been the threat of selling off the 403 tons of IMF gold for the 22nd time that did gold in once again (lol).

    All commodities basically up today.......uhh, except gold and silver. Got to love how that happens, even while the dollar was taking a big 2.5% hit. Nice moves by the PPT. Note that some terrible companies that had no reason to rally were pushed up today by hot hedge fund air. How about airlines up 8%.....while oil went up to raise their costs! REITs, retailers, and transports were up strong today. Did those businesses all of a sudden become hugely profitable again? A number of the bank stocks did not participate all that much today and banks were left behind. Health care and drugs were down and those are the things people still really need. Odd day to say the least.

    The actual technicals today favored a big rise in the PM's. One can only think that they were pushed down in anticipation of the G20 statements. The slow takedown overseas this morning followed by the 9-10 am NY slamdown was just what the PPT ordered up. It seems like the big winners in this extended stock market rally have been commodities (oil, copper, aluminum), banks, and tech stocks.

    The worst is over roadrunner. I'd like to see you gradually spend more time outside your bomb shelter getting some fresh air. If you need something to do start beating those swords back into plowshares.

    i think the next two rounds of quarterly earnings reports will take
    the wind out of the sails of the rebound pretty quick.

    i was at a toyota car dealership last week getting my car inspection.
    they are basically begging people to buy and if not begging, standing
    around doing nothing. taint a good sign.

    also without homes bottoming out completely i cannot imagine things
    are over yet. when they stop going down i will start to think things
    have improved.

    True.

    Just a start, though.

    Trading around core positions has worked for me, for many years.

    Price directions make little difference; all you need is momentum.
    Medium to high volatility is nice, but even gentle swings pay out.

    Yepper, only 663,000 jobs lost in March so the stock market should be booming with all the prosperity and all. Folks are rushing out to get those new cars. And, you could have one of those new ipods with Big O speeches on it ; it's good to be queen.

    With a VIX in the 40's and 2 and 3x ETFs, WOOWSERS. I would only say that NOTHING is a core position. Only knowledge should be held longterm.

    I like to have small core positions in shares I have confidence in.

    This also allows/forces me to accumulate "knowledge" about
    company fundamentals and trading trends.

    I am not opposed to "over trading," but there is nothing wrong
    with holding a few of the "products" you trade in.

    I'll delete my first post then, I don't know what Bear originally wrote and didn't realize you guys were responding to it and not his edited message.

    I think what you just saw was the "best" and it is unsustainable at these rates. 25% market rallys are not the norm. I see very few analysts (including the shills on TV who are typically bullish as a condition of their employment) thinking that a final stock market bottom is now in. A typical bottoming pattern tends to make a major move down followed by a sequenced pair of bounce backs and falls (ie retests). At best, we're probably still early in the first bounce back with a couple of retests still to come. What you should have said was that the "worst" is still probably yet to come. During the 1930-1932 SM crash, there must have been a half dozen recoveries or sideways moves as the market moved inexorably lower. At each step there was a major "luminary" (politician or stock market proponent) predicting the end of the decline and clear skies ahead. After nearly 3 years of entirely wrong predictions (much like Bernanke, Paulson over the past 2 years), the market finally hit the real bottom.

    I think the banks will lead the market back down next week. PM's should recover.

    Darin, I want you on my sales team. You are ever so optimistic. The platoon could be overrun and you'd say...gosh guys why you all running away. No fear guys, hold your position. Support is on the way.

    FWIW, this rally is just a counter to the beatdown the market took. The earnings of business enterprise in this country are for the most part----WAY OFF. Smart people will know when to jump off this ride. I got out of the roller coaster as much as possible a long time ago.

    I do not ascribe to technical analysis, maybe because I'm a dumb lad. All I know is when my phone is ringing, I'm singing. My phone is not ringing now with orders like it should.

    Commercial property (big)problems, pension fund underfunding, intrusive government, increasing compliance and taxation issues, relaxed demand from customers and probably a 10 year cyclical weakness in consumer demographics along with consumer need to save due to the overspending of the last few years...................I see no "REBOUND" anytime soon.
    Have a nice day

    Article in the paper today talked about how people are "tired of being tired". That being said, comedy club attendance is up for the first time in quite awhile with 3 of the 4 past weekends selling completely out for the first time in a long while, the fourth only not because of weather (i.e. snow). Spas were seeing lots more bookings and their customers said no matter the economy, they were going to do what it took to make them feel better. A local car dealer is seeing heavier volume of sales (gotta wonder on that one), and just decided to do some house renovation based on that.

    The American people are quick to tire of a lot. They have a short attention span, be it for Iraq, the economy, etc. It becomes "old news" and those that can return to their ways. Smart? Certainly not, but if people as a whole in this country were smarter, a lot of things that have happened in the last 20 years (and longer) never would have come to be.

    PM's take another tumble starting overseas as I type as money moves out of pm's to stocks. I expect this to be a continuing trend with whimper rallies in pm's as both markets continue to swing. The TREND I expect to continue for some time until the "return to way things were" in house prices, etc., prove to be trying to return to failed thinking and the next set of blown economics takes hold.
