I wish to state two

    Bears Flattened by Runaway Train

    I wish to state two points here, that might or might not of help to any bear here.

    1. This market hits the targets it is supposed to hit. The AB=CD target is 1165, and it will be hit, in my best judgment.

    2. After 1150 has taken, the next target is 1225 for the overall top.

    If you can, try to stay aside and let the train arrive where it's supposed to arrive. The first 1/8 and the last 1/8 are the most expensive eighth in trading.

    I hope this helps someone.

    Junkie, Thanks for the thoughts and

    Junkie,

    Thanks for the thoughts and advice.  Where do you get 1225 from and why do you think that would be an overall top?

    1225 is the next big

    1225 is the next big number, a Fib. retracement after 1115 (61.8%, I think). 1150 was the MA(20) on the monthly chart, a border line between the bull and bear markets. 'Think big' is the motto of this market, in my twisted humor. If it's not obvious to everyone, it's not going to work (for the bears).

    Why the overall top? Two factors: the "thin" zone ends approximately there (1200, if I recall from Matt & Steve's reports last fall), and "sell in May and go away" has not been repelled yet, when there is something to sell. There was little or none last year.

    Lastly, the professionals will need time to distribute their longs near the top, that's why I would expect a long rectangle or something of this sort. Something like in Dec.-January 2009. This market is a chess game, and those who practise analysis -- dividing the whole into parts to make sense of it, ala science -- will never get it.
