Never let the facts stand in the way of a good story!  Dow 40,000 by 2009

If my memory is correct, he was calling for Dow 40,000 back in the 90s.  I think he has flopped twice since then.  It goes to show, "If you are going to prognosticate, prognosticate often".

It's great looking over your shoulder!

Lotta brainpower on this site.  Count me in.

I beleive somebody here alerted us to a great article about Europe back in November.  We lost our five institutions that were levered at 30:1.  Bank of England and Deutche Bank are levered at 50:1.  The US exposure to emerging market soveriegn debt is 500 bn, Europe is at 3.5 trillion.  The second shoe to drop in this drecession may be overseas.  I make no claim to the validity of these numbers as I never let the facts stand in the way of a good story.

Can the tick chart be replicated on the "bestfreecharts" site?

You can also go to "style" in format and change the MA from line to histogram and also thicken the bars.

It’s 2 P.M. in New York, Time to Buy Stocks: Technical Analysis

March 26 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks have their best intraday returnsstarting at 2 p.m. in New York as institutional money managers begin buying, according to an analysis by Bespoke Investment Group LLC.

Since September, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Indexhas on average risen only during the 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. hours in New York, said Bespoke, a Harrison, New York-based firm that manages money for wealthy investors and provides financial research to institutions. Returns were 0.14 percent between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., and 0.05 percent from 3 p.m. through the close. The worst performance was between the previous close and 10 a.m., according to Bespoke.

“This could be a sign that the institutional money has been doing a lot of buying,” Bespoke co-founder Justin Walterswrote in a report yesterday. “It’s a common belief on Wall Street that the institutional money (smart money) trades at the end of the day, while the individual money (dumb money) trades at the beginning of the day.”

Individual investors have also spurred the market during the past two weeks, helping the S&P 500 rally as much as 22 percent from its 12-year low on March 9, Walters said.

Since that nadir, the best returns have occurred before 10 a.m., when the market climbed 0.77 percent from the prior day’s close. The next best returns have been during the 2 p.m. hour, when stocks added 0.33 percent, according to Bespoke, founded by Walters and Paul Hickeyafter they left Westport, Connecticut- based Birinyi Associates Inc.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said in a separate note on March 24 that the S&P 500 had returned a total of 35 percent between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. since the start of 2008. The benchmark has slipped a cumulative 54 percent from the open of U.S. exchanges through 2 p.m., according to a note from Goldman’s Peter Berezinand Roman Maranets.

Did you ever feel like a fire hydrant and all your stocks were dogs?

Was away from the monitor. What happened?

Art Cashin (who I respect) on CNBC mentioned the 800 level on the S&P as make or break.  Let's see what happens.

If you are a TS user, you can can go to the Tradestation forum and type in" gapless MA" and find .ELDs that will point you in the right direction.  If you are not a TS user, you can just keep complianing.
