This is what i like about the boards

But as i thought...it is NOT raging bulls and bears

For me that was a hard question. I think the market will move up a little in the next 2 years & then take off around election time.

Always bullish, no matter what the market does.

MMXI V2 is bullish on growth IE QQQQ.( PowershareQQQ).
Bearish on Russell 2000
Bearish on Gold If you have to have something then silver is the best shot..IMHO!!! not on MMXI V2 data or test...
Bullish on C!!!
Bullish on French Red Wine but more bullish on Texas Merlot!!! Becker 2008 is a wine drinkers delight and equal to French .. His French Blend for 2005 was a 99 on the Parker Test..

Just a thought,

I went with moderate bear. And I didn't peek first!

FTI? I didn't see an "adware popping off your screen in all directions" choice.

I'm just sayin... LOL

Moderate Bull... but it really doesn't matter for my investments. I use weekly charts to go long/short and confirm with monthly charts last day of month. My investments move long or short depending on my charts. Half of my $$$s are currently in Long Commodities and Short Dollar and the other half is divided into equal positions of Long Russell (or S&P/Nasdaq 100), Long Reits, Long Japan, Long China (which is a position that can be Emerging Mkts, Brasil, China.. or any combination of the three), Long Oil/Energy (which is a position that can be split between long Oil/Energy, Oil Services and Precious Metals if I choose). To help show how it works, three weeks ago, my Short Reits flipped to Long Reits and just on Friday, Short China flipped to Long China. I've been in Long Russell and Long Oil/Energy since third week of September and will stay long in them until they turn short based on weekly charts... and then would flip to Short Oil/Energy and Short Russell... with no bias to bull or bear.

Could you please explain? I barely any jobs out there, newspapers and job websites are sparse on jobs. Most people I know are cutting back on spending, debt is at all time high and national debt is impossible to pay back. There is no sign from the Fed with will stop printing, and QE is the norm to pay for the government to run since nobody is buying our debt to fund our country. What about social security and Medicare for those planning on retiring? We are broke, good luck with that one. Oil prices are on the rise. What is it you see that is so positive moving forward in the economy. 40+ million on food stamps, how do you suppose we fix this problem. States are completely broke in most cases, or on verge of going bankrupt.

[glow=red,2,300]The stock market is NOT the economy!!![/glow]

Please outline the positives you are seeing from your gated community that are positive moving forward.

PS. Best go take a drive down main st and see what the peasants are doing to survive.

"Bull" and "bear" have timeframes associated with them. I'm a short-term bull; long-term bear.

No jobs?

Google washington post mega jobs section

Or try St louis post dispatch

Or try Dallas FT Worth News

I can continue....

there are HUNDREDS if not thousands of listings from this past weekend ( i didnt count them all)

Nurses, IT, Engineers, Accounting, etc

Jobs are there....for some. I am sorry that the people who quit high school are having tough times. Bad decisions come back to bite you at some time

And yes...construction is STILL a problem....because housing is still a problem and will be for some time....and there are other industries hurting also....but NOT everything is doomed

You see NO light....i see rays of sunshine

I am NOT saying everything is rosy....but the predictions coming from some on these boards is so gloomy i wonder how you all get up every morning

Smile....life is a wonderful journey.....and we are here for but a brief time

[frankq]

Hmmmm.........2 certified bears.......Hmmmmmm............... who could that be..............

[Deleted]

As my father is prone to saying

I'll give you three guesses and the first two won't count

Nice to see you made it over here Mr Q

Still missing a few from the MT board....but we seem to have most of the old gang

"Rosenberg calls current economic conditions "a depression, and not just some garden-variety recession," and notes that any good news both during the initial 1929-33 recession and the one that began in 2008 triggered "euphoric response."

"Such is human nature and nobody can be blamed for trying to be optimistic; however, in the money management business, we have a fiduciary responsibility to be as realistic as possible about the outlook for the economy and the market at all times," he said. The 1929-33 recession saw six quarterly bounces in GDP with an average gain of 8 percent, sending the stock market to a 50 percent rally in early 1930 as investors thought the worst had passed.

"False premise," Rosenberg said. "And guess what? We may well be reliving history here. If you're keeping score, we have recorded four quarterly advances in real GDP, and the average is only 3%."
