Matt;   

Recently you provided some eye opening stats on the SPY total returns comparing returns of always invested vs sell in May etc.      I am sure you need more work like you need a hole in the head, but it surely would be interesting to see how that same scenario would play out for US election years.  We all know the bureaucrats all try to goose the economy in election years ( once every 4 years, not 2) so I can't help but wonder how that "fully invested" in each of the 4th years compares with that same " sell in May" option.      No need to satisfy my curiosity, but it would be interesting to know - especially since this would be one of those election years to be counted!    

INTC  chart cousins  :   Take a look at  DVAX 

A week ago or so,  Stan Harley ( technician) who uses Lucas numbers for patterns, suggested a top in the S&P today,  selling off for a month or so until the next cycle turn date of June 24th.  He didn't forecast  a high or low target, just cycle dates.     We'll see how this plays out  soon enough.

 So the dot plot plot is now becoming more of a blurrr . . . . .  anyone with a brain can see inflation everywhere no matter what the talking heads would have us believe.    A 12 oz can of frozen orange juice that was $1.25 is now $2.75.    Nothing to see here, it's just your imagination.    And oil prices are rising  . . . .  hmmm.
