Zeev, On 01/08/2003 the Dow hit 8736.93 as a high...
The highest the Dow has been during this rally is yesterdays closing number of 10600.51 w/a print of 10600.74 as the dust settled @16:02:41...
I think we're headed for that high set back on 03/17/2002 of 10673.10...
This could happen Tuesday as they get set for the Presidents State of the Union address...
EOM
Shoreco
PS
February options have the least amount of puts I have seen since this rally started. They do go back up for March though...
Down for a few weeks??
Followed a rally to wipe out of the March puts??
Of course Bears would like to see a Delta hedge to the downside for a change, but we'll have to see how the balance of the earnings season goes before we even think of this train getting stopped...
March highs...
Dow = 11,000ish
SPX = 1175ish
COMPX 2300ish
This should be it until the fall (and even then it's way too early to guess that map), because I haven't heard anything so far in these earnings that even come close to justifying the exuberance (JNPR made 14mil and is looking for a flat qtr to make another 14mil...LOL...)...
And then we'll have that "tax rate" thing over-hanging us...
