JUST LETTING YOU KNOW…
In the past few weeks, I’ve been telling you that the end of the year has a tremendous track record.
The last 10 out of 10 years, from Veterans Day until the end of the year – UP.
The past 22 out of the 24 years – UP.
Yet since Veterans Day, the market has been kinda sucking wind. And every day, I’ve been coming on this show saying, “Wow, is it ugly…there is no leadership…Wow they just can’t get this market moving.”
And then what happens? At the end of November, 2 huge gaps up in the market, making the end of the month look so much better. Then the market tops out again into yesterday.
…Leaving only eight days left in the year with the S&P down for year. With the NYSE, the Russell and the other indices down a decent amount. Foreign markets, basically trashed. What do they do?
They gapped it up 260 points today…and had a very strong day…the third huge gap since November 28.
Leave no doubt I play the market as it comes. I will let the market dictate no matter. But for me, I think they have started the “mark up” period — now with seven days left.
And of course, this Friday things will quiet down. And of course, next Friday will quiet down. I am thinking that the S&P will be above 1258 because 1258 is where the S&P started this year. They’re going to do their very best.
I’m letting you know, I’ll play it as it comes:
If we can get leadership..,
If we can get stocks breaking out on heavy volume…
If we can start to see some success in those moves…and then more and more names show up…I WILL BE DO EVERYTHING TO BE ALL OVER IT.
But as of right now, it’s one day up. I do expect higher prices at the end of the year. ..but I will need leadership.
