**Any "Bull Run" in the market right now will be based strictly on euphoria. Remain vigilant with any allocation of your capital. The fury will end by the end of the first quarter. Those playing the market will of course benefit from the euphoria by short term holdings in strong companies (purchase and sale of stock in those companies) but it will take quite some time to turn this ship around.
This is not a "negative" note by any stretch of imagination. It's just based on objective data. When the present steamboat turns back south it will gain speed (once again). At least now we have hope that someone will be able to put a bottom on the fall. Stock valuations right now are ridiculously high based on forward evaluations based on speculative beliefs. The speculators, once again, will profit in the short term. Those who do not understand the markets are better off paying down debt and watching from the sidelines. If you know the markets . . . and have cash to gamble with . . . that's up to you. It's a personal issue. Myself, I'm cashing out while the euphoria is high and paying down debts.
Use a strategy. Develop one based on strong techniques built by those with experience and market savvy. I am absolutely amazed at the change of attitude for the nation. Thank god the Manchurian Monkey is out of the Oval Office. But trust in this ~ The Establishment is far from over with their battle for world domination. It just doesn't happen that way and history has proven it time and time again. Anyone that bases the health of the economy on the daily market valuations is strongly misunderstanding the underlying pinnings that determine the health of the economic wheel. It is not good. And it won't improve in short duration. Nonetheless, I'm optimistic for the long term for those that plan on living more than 10 years beyond their present age.
Be wise with your asset allocation.
Peace,
Mark
