A reasonable assumption for July 18. I believe all of the
bad news has been absorbed into the market. It is time to
start trekking higher. Perhaps the all clear sign will be
given.
Bear says troubled funds have "very little value"
http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUKN1726029320070717?rpc=44
The upshot of this is a two edged sword. We will probably
see intermediate real estate values recede and they will
have a short term effect on equities.
What does all this mean to the investing public?
Equities should have a strong recovery after any pruning,
albeit, a correction if you will. But in the months ahead
the New Bull will be prancing on solid turf and moving
the world economies to new, higher levels.
Real estate will continue to settle until it finds an
equilibrium of supply and demand where in the near term
it appears there is more supply than demand. Obviously
as history teaches us, in time, the tide will turn.
The good part is the equity market is the place to have
your funds, if you are resilient enough to weather the
brief storm and not be over extended.
The New Bull will be in overall control for the next
twelve to fourteen months. Just be sure you are nimble
enough to run with him.
Dow tops 14,000 for first time
We'll see 15,000 before the end of the year as the New Bull
takes over Wall Street and Main Street!

Where have I see this before? Hmmmmmmm
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stock market bulls are betting strong second-quarter profits will send equities even higher with the earnings reporting season in full swing this week.
Rising energy and food prices coupled with uneven retail sales are not likely to slow down investors as they test the market's limits. At the same time, the financial sector is expected to avoid major losses from the subprime sector.
After a week when the Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor's 500 index reached record highs on mergers and acquisitions activity and multibillion-dollar blue-chip buyback plans, investors will eye profits, inflation data and the Federal Reserve for more signs of good news.
Earnings will be headlined by Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq:MSFT - INTC - C - BAC - news) among an exhaustive list of major companies.
Amid the flood of results, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will give two days of semiannual testimony on U.S. monetary policy before Congress.
"Earnings are not going to be a problem," said Michael Metz, chief investment strategist at Oppenheimer & Co., in New York. "The speculators are very excited. Unless it is a major surprise, the external (factors) won't matter. The markets are feeding on themselves.
"I don't think Ben Bernanke has anything new to say at the moment about inflation, and the Federal Reserve does not think the subprime problem will derail growth," Metz added.
Friday the 13th turned out to be lucky for the stock market, when the S&P 500 (.SPX) rose above its March 2000 record to set a lifetime high at 1,555.10 and the Dow industrials (^DJI - news) crossed 13,900 for the first time to set a lifetime high. Both the S&P 500 and the Dow closed at record highs. The Nasdaq ended at 2,707.00, a 6-1/2-year high.
For the week, the Dow rose 2.2 percent, the S&P 500 added 1.4 percent and the Nasdaq Composite Index (^IXIC - news) gained 1.5 percent.
For the year, the Dow is up 11.6 percent, while the S&P 500 is up 9.5 percent and the Nasdaq is up 12.1 percent.
CPI AND HOUSING STARTS
In what will be one of the busiest weeks for corporate earnings, Wall Street also will get some fresh economic numbers to crunch: the U.S. Producer Price Index on Tuesday, followed by Wednesday's reports on the Consumer Price Index and housing starts. All of the data will be for June.
Economists surveyed by Reuters forecast a gain of 0.2 percent in both the overall PPI, a measure of wholesale prices, and core PPI, excluding food and energy prices.
CPI is expected to rise 0.1 percent in June, while core CPI is seen up 0.2 percent, the Reuters poll showed.
The Census Bureau's housing starts and building permits report for June is likely to show continued slowdowns, keeping the chance of a hike in the fed funds rate unlikely.
On Thursday, investors will scrutinize the minutes from the Federal Open Markets Committee's late June meeting for any further hints about monetary policy.
EVERYONE LOVES TECH
But most of the buzz this week will come from the torrent of profit reports. Among the quarterly results, particular confidence is expected to come from the technology sector.
"People are just in love with technology right now," said Rick Meckler, president of LibertyView Capital Management, in Jersey City, New Jersey. "We are in the midst of a replacement cycle, plus a new technology cycle, which the iPhone represents."
"With strong emerging country economies the bears are not
accustomed to the chiseled face and sinewy body of this new bull
snorting strongly from both nostrils and pawing the earth in
challenge."
The bears have been scaring people with this inflation thing and sub-prime thing for too long now. They are going to have
to find another "boogie man".
The New Bull has been set loose on the world stage
and looking like he will be the *STAR* well into the new
year. There are billions of dollars on the sidelines looking
for a winner to place their money on and we are seeing
the preponderance being sent out to "Run With the Bulls".
In this market, wisdom will tell you to put it on the likes of NM, FTO, VLO, BKBO, FCCN and RIO and let your own
money run with the Bulls for the next six to ten months.
great post!;) i love it...
yes the big boards rocked today...
the bear better run for "cover" hehehe... lol
looks like NM might be a mover today...

Markets are doing quite well around the world as we expect
they will for the next 14 months. Beyond that projections
aren't as clear, but we will be on the alert.
As we continue to update our model,we will keep you informed
on the Number ONE Board.
The key, of course, is to find the stocks that can take
advantage of this golden age of commerce not seen for centuries
and probably not in history. The old economy stocks will
continue to benefit, but the savvy investor will assess the
interaction and grasp those stocks that will reap the bountiful
harvest that providence has brought to their door.
nice post... keep up the great work...;)
As second quarter earnings have been booked and historically
strong as we will see. We need to keep an eye on the third
quarter. We are already getting bullish guidance third
quarter is off to a great start with "rosy" outlooks from
the likes of Samsung.
The bears will be trying to huff and puff and blow the house
down, but the world economy is maintaining its robustness
and due to this global economy US stocks stand to continue
to gain and the US bears will be forced into early hibernation.
In the global economy we have reason to maintain our healthy
outlook for international stars like NM, FRO, and BKBO.
As we near October you will hear the bears talking about
past October's like we heard them try to use the "go away
in May" slogan recently. Those that listened to them are
still running behind trying to catch up with this locomotive.
Maybe the bears have spent too long in this past hibernation
and waking up to the fact that we are in a new paradigm.
With strong emerging country economies the bears are not
accustomed to the chiseled face and sinewy body of this new bull
snorting strongly from both nostrils and pawing the earth in
challenge.
FTO and BKBO finished strong in a market where a lot of investors
were scared out of their shares. BKBO showed signs that the
good news we've been waiting for is near.
yes, very nice...
FTO really smokin' again today.
Can't beat this for a very long term hold.

A lot of money on the sidelines waiting to come into the market.
A rising tide lifts all watertight boats. It doesn't do much
for the one's that have holes in them.
Transocean dry bulkers and tankers are coming into favor with
institutional investors. Almost every company is feasting off
the high rates that should last well into next year.
A couple favorites:

I just looked at that. That's a lot of money over a five
year period.
