Stock's Seasonal Performance:

S&P 500 monthly average performance*
(Jan. 1970 - Feb. 2010)

January.......1.0%
February...-0.08
March.........0.99
April............1.3
May.............0.76
June............0.29
July.............0.28
August.......0.35
September.-0.89
October.......0.44
November....1.3
December....1.69

The "seasonals" (the holidays), are the result of the FED furnishing an "elastic currency". The FED through their "open market power" have the capability of either adding or subtracting to the volume of money in circulation. Typically the FED begins to add bank liquidity in Oct. and begins to drain bank liquidity in Feb. And when money flows (MVt) peak late, money velocity temporarily spikes later & faster.

Furnishing an “elastic currency” functions like the "real-bills" doctrine. Seasonal loans are not considered inflationary because the banks are financing real things, the value added to a product being the result of extending temporary credit.

Note: the demand for loan-funds by businesses & consumers, & the increase in the volume of currency held by the non-bank public during the holiday season (Thanksgiving, Xmas, & New Years) is always higher than other times of the year. E.g., retailers "can make between 25 and 40 percent of their annual sales in the last two months of the year."

That said, any downswing in the 1st qtr should be short-lived.

Without countervailing intervention, stocks should fall during the May-June period (with the biggest percentage of the drop taking place in June).

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Great info flow. I like the point about seasonal loans, with the amount of money that is needed to repair the housing market, inflation/interest rates could be very manageable even with all the extra liquid in the system that needs to find a home.

Who perma-banned him? What I took from his answer on the previous page was he decided to walk away from notmsnmoney. Would someone please explain WTF actually happened to FTI? I may think he's a little too optimistic from time to time, but his presence is certainly missed.

[Deleted]

Not That I understand why, But this is what I Understand.
Somthing happened (Probably a Complaint) That Involved Proboards Directly. Proboards Directed The Head Admin (Moon) to Notify all Staff that He (FTI) was not allowed back. Proboards is the one who Pulled His ticket.

DI - IBB ADMIN

[Driftr]

Thank you DI. That sux.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

That is precisely what happened DI (Driftr) it was a MAJOR complaint, that involves SERIOUS LEGAL ramifications and to keep moon out of certain Veteran posters BS from MT, we are set up like this for the time being.

RETRACEMENT OF VALUATION IS AFFIRMATION OF RECOVERY

"I"AM IN HEAVEN 'CAUSE IT'S WEEK 7 OF THE 'NEW" STREAK!!!!!

Total inflows to long-term mutual funds were $10.79 billion for week 7

Equity funds had inflows of $809 million for the week, compared to estimated inflows of $1.04 billion in the previous week....as long as it's going our way!

Domestic equity funds had estimated outflows of $322 million, while estimated inflows to foreign equity funds were $1.13 billion....WTF is that?


Hybrid funds had inflows of $1.60 billion for the week, compared to estimated inflows of $2.66 billion in the previous week.


Bond funds had estimated inflows of $8.38 billion, compared to estimated inflows of $8.20 billion during the previous week.....who are these retarded investors?

Taxable bond funds saw estimated inflows of 6.96 billion, while municipal bond funds had estimated inflows of $1.42 billion....that's nice

The gains in the market are dwarfing metals and other asset classes...once the masses see that the markets have come back...they will be just in time to get slaughtered in the next correction!

I have some PTY in my IRA. Just messed around with it to see what it did over time. I think it's yielding around 7%. Although the value is increasing, I expect it to srop when Ben stops the free money train some day.

PIMCO Corporate & Income Opportunity Fund (the Fund), formerly PIMCO Corporate Opportunity Fund, is a closed-end exchange traded investment company. The Fund seeks total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation. The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in a combination of corporate debt obligations of varying maturities, other corporate income-producing securities, and income-producing securities of non-corporate issuers, such as the United States Government securities, municipal securities and mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities issued on a public or private basis. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC serves as the Funds' investment manager, and the sub-advisors are Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (PIMCO), Allianz Global Investors Capital (AGIC), and NFJ Investment Group LLC. (NFJ)...

Also have some PMX (munis) in our brokerage. Just bought the two on a whim when looking at monthly income producers. Even when I add PTY & PMX together they were less than 1% of our IRAs and brokerage combined balance.

[The Virginian]

I sold all bond funds in Jan. - Not taking any chances with them. The only ones producing returns are high risk and we see what happened to GM bond holders. Now with the European mess didn't want to take any chances.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

That's what I thought Driftr.. I've asked moon to move the corporate bond thread from MT here for the future if need be...

A great idea, IMO, if you were into high risk with some profit V..

Here's what we got

Equity funds had outflows of $2.84 billion for the week, compared to estimated inflows of $782 million in the previous week.

Domestic equity funds had estimated outflows of $3.06 billion

Hybrid funds had inflows of $1.65 billion for the week, compared to estimated inflows of $1.55 billion in the previous week.

Bond funds #goodbad# ...had inflows of $6.70 billion, compared to estimated inflows of $8.12 billion during the previous week...far less people attempting suicide than previously believed

Taxable bond funds saw estimated inflows of $5.57 billion, while municipal bond funds had estimated inflows of $1.13 billion...nice move #smoke-pot#

Crazy shit going on...don't be distracted with Greece...use some common sense...how could a country which has had a negative GDP for the last couple of years have any effect on us?...it could wipe out some bank portfolios....but were good

Look for a convincing move to new highs in the next two weeks

No doubt. I don't think that having an opinions on the direction of the markets makes you a market timer, the best long term investors are market SPECTATORS.. Stealth rally on Garth..

re: Outflow from Equity funds.

Is it possible we are seeing a large shift from Mutual Funds to individual stocks and ETFs? I've been out of Mutuals for years since the returns lag the ETFs due to costs involved with managing the funds.

A rationale behind this is: if the outflows are big the market should decline. The market is not declining and, as such, money is entering the market from somewhere or somehow.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Makes sense to me. The money has to be going into the market somewhere and I have read that in Canada ETF investing is way up in the last couple year, whereas it was almost exclusively MF before. I also notice a lot of articles in the national paper talking about dividends, this is also new.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

LOL, I always make spelling mistakes when I'm chatting with ya Rovo. Sorry about that. ETF investing is on the rise and it seems like money wants to flow from gold to stocks.

WERE DO’N FINE IN WEEK 9...."I” OPIONE!!!!!

Yes it’s true if you stick to your plan it will all come back to you…hopefully in a good way!

Like fine wine…which starts on a vine and slowly develops into the kind of grapes for which you mine and favor when you dine….”I” still pine for the kind of line that appears on charts that heads for the stars and not the brine

Yes friends the moment you were waiting for when the conventional thinkers are scratching their heads and are having a DUH moment…in regards to what we knew instinctively would occur.

Total inflows to long-term mutual funds were $12.09 billion for the week….YIPPEEEE!

Equity funds had outflows of $126 million for the week, compared to estimated outflows of $2.84 billion in the previous week…..well maybe when these “investors” pull their heads out of their collective asses….we’ll get some traction

Domestic equity funds had outflows of $1.38 billion, while inflows to foreign equity funds were $1.25 billion…..WTF?

Hybrid funds had inflows of $1.48 billion for the week, compared to inflows of $1.65 billion in the previous week….moving on up!

Bond funds had inflows of $10.73 billion, compared to inflows of $6.60 billion during the previous week…..this a train wreck…just keep watching

Taxable bond funds saw inflows of $9.08 billion, while municipal bond funds had estimated inflows of $1.66 billion…this is the reverse of the above

SO the trend continues as many who missed this move up...and missed the "opportunity" to get their money back and have their portfolio's return to pre 2008 values must be smarting as to why this occurred and how they could have missed the move...all the while watching it occur

Go Long and be smart as we near the 14,167 mark...I will have more to say on strategizing and preventing once again the enevitavble correction...before the next move up to historically higher levels in ALL INDEXES!!!
