The next trasnaction on a pullback (not todays if we have one, but the IPM predicted bottom) would be another 30% according to your long position trading strategy which would give 60%, I was thinking Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984565580551126304.post-48076439005086082542013-03-12T23:48:35.791-04:002013-03-12T23:48:35.791-04:00This is how i do it ( and i read it from Jim Crame...This is how i do it ( and i read it from Jim Cramer's Real Money): Buy in the dips and dont buy all at once. Say you have 10k... buy 3k at dip of 1535, then buy another 3k at 1520 and then buy another 3k at 1500. Keep 1k in cash. This is an aggressive investment with strategy. When everything goes up, sell with the same method (in portions).<br /><br />I may buy tomorrow Wed some inversejosephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984565580551126304.post-23067284431668427852013-03-12T23:28:22.245-04:002013-03-12T23:28:22.245-04:00Market has been rising as expected.

This not only shows the strength of this rally, but also highlights the fact that there were so many doubters of this rally. However, we are now approaching a time where market is nearing a near term top. In fact yesterday, for the first time in 3 weeks, no one on the Fast Money half time report mentioned a correction.

Th...Thanks Joseph, I was thinking the same thing. The dip would be pretty shallow and with the limited amount of trades I get for a month on my retirement account, I was leaning towards riding this dip out (forget about the profit taking) and purchase more on the dip during the IPM window (go from my current 30% equities and EFA to 75% [28% SP, 27% DOW, 20% EFA; or 25% for all three - dollar cost Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2984565580551126304.post-61677844774042407242013-03-11T22:43:05.780-04:002013-03-11T22:43:05.780-04:00around 4% decline.

The Bank Stress Tests went great, Unemployment went down to 7.7%, ECB and BOE didn't bring anything new to the table we didn't already know - that Europe is in "dire" circumstances and may collapse as I'm writing this (like the last 18 months).

As far as individual investors are concerned, I was referring to latest AAII survey, which is showing a lot of pessimism, especially with DJIA hitting new all time highs. the fund flow statement is also true but the funds flow went negative last week for the first time in 2013, as sequestration drama unfolded in DC.

There is one observation above that I disagree with. You said "individual investors are now more pessimistic about the market than they were 500 point lower in DJIA." I am not sure which index or measure you are using here but mutual fund flows so far this year negate this point of view. We Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
