It has always been rigged. Jesse Livermore wrote almost a
hundred years ago that " the market was created to take money from
the little guy and give it to the big guy while at the same time
making the little guy feel good about it ". You just have to be on
the right side of the rig.
Since my post on 2/6 stating all the smart people KNEW the
market had a lot more downside to go, IWM and MDY have traded up 15
out of 16 trading days. About an 8 to 9 % gain.
GDX is approaching the declining 30 week moving average on a
weekly chart, at about 25. This might be some resistance. There is
a pos divergence on macd so maybe we start to get a Weinstein type
basing and then move above the 30 week. Just a possibility for a
longer term pattern.
I sold my business when the guvmint took 63 cents out of the
last dollars I was making. I found a way that earned less overall
but after tax was not much different, and there was a lot less
stress and risk. That was almost 20 years ago. As Bill Clinton said
, I feel your pain.
It’s better to look at the traditional underlying drivers of
small-company stock performance. Though these stocks aren’t cheap,
they aren’t excessively expensive either, trading at above-average
valuations versus their own history and relative to large-caps. But
with earnings growth looking poised to accelerate, and interest
rates likely to stay low for some time, we think SMID-caps can
continue their upward march, even if there’s some valuation
compression.
History suggests that consistent, long-term exposure to
smaller-cap stocks is almost always a good idea — even if an
investor badly bungles the timing. That was what we concluded from
our “Worst Market Timer” analysis, which showed that an investor
who had invested $100 in U.S. SMID-cap stocks at the
worstpossible time every year since 1961 would have still
vastly outperformed an investor who had bought $100 of large-cap
stocks at the
bestpossible time every year (Display 1). How can that be?
It’s because small-company earnings have massively outpaced those
of large-caps historically. When compounded over long investment
horizons, this growth advantage more than offset any short-term
erosion in valuations suffered from buying the stocks at their
highest price every year.
We will all be safe and secure with Yellen being the new fed
chairman. As CBS news reported tonight on how smart she is , where
she went to college and her being the son of a doctor we will be
fine. You can't make this stuff up
