Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
I have linkded below plublished reports compiled by Yardeni Research, Inc. for your review with respect to earnings, revenues and valuation for the S&P 500/400/600 Indexes and sectors for the 500 Index.
When the SEC failed to control the naked shorts and the high requency traders form my perspective ... Here is the end result ... Investors continue to leave the market inspite of its continued upward movement in the belief that it is rigged against them. The below article supports my above statement.
The way I deal with this is to watch my asset allocation to make sure I am not taking on too much risk and to maintain a higher cash balance on hand that I use to. In this way, when the villians drive stock market prices downward towards 52 week lows I can increase my stock market holdings and then ride stock valuations back upwards and reduce stock holdings as new 52 week highs are approached. This strategy has worked many times through the years for my family dating back to my great grandfather.
Hey ... and, the villians hate this strategy. Because it keeps them form picking your pocket because it is their game strategy too. And, folks where are we? We are at, or towards, 52 weeks highs on many things ... with caution lights flashing.
