The chart above is an update of the Dow. We're nearing the top of the channel and moving average. When people ask should they buy or sell here, the answer is it depends on how invested you are. Which is why no one can really advise you. We're only 30% invested, with the goal of investing more into the indexes. If we were to sell any part of our holdings, it would only be tempting at 7800 or so. And in that case, we'd only be selling the portion of our shares which were bought at 6800. We're not focused on selling, but rather on continuing to accumulate shares for the long term. That is, until a new leading sector emerges. At that point, we'll shift from the indexes to the leaders of that sector. That shift could be a couple years away.
We have inside knowledge of the health of the high end real estate market. It is an excellent barometer of the health of the overall economy, and perhaps even a crystal ball. We find that after a two year lull, wealthy speculators are starting to buy land and build houses again. It may seem early, but these are people with close ties to the major brokerage houses in New York. Billionaire investors are scooping up land at firesale prices, and are beginning to revitalize the otherwise slumping local economy. This is the earliest sign that a major turn in the economy is brewing. It will likely be about a year before this spending trickles down into the pockets of the plumbers and electricians and such, but the turn is coming. Our guess is that 6500 will be the bottom. A return to 6500 should be seen as a great opportunity, as it will not be long before others realize that a major shift in the economy is just around the corner.
