How to Chase the Market Rally

They are trying to draw in more suckers The Wall Street professionals need to sell to someone.

We're always "chasing the market" because Insiders know in advance what the Government(s) are going to do.

Don't be scammed.....trouble in Europe, high unemployment in US, housing still unstable, and they want to pull people into the market so they can sell and make profits on your investment...don't let your emotions take over....remember investment firms want your money!

Chase the market rally? What a stupid article.

Encouragement to chase a rally eh? Who offers the cattle such a wonderful piece of advice?

Never chase. Even more importantly, never chase during a bubble. This article is as stupid as it gets.

ie: "How to lose your shirt"

France and German taxpayers don't want to bail out Greece. So they will use the IMF supported by the US and other countries to drag us into this mess and throw away our money. Geitner policies of kissing up to the EU Socialists is nothing but a horror show for the taxpayer and a backstop for the "big money" banks.

My gut tells me this "rally" is due to hedge fund managers underperforming benchmarks, and desperately playing catch-up until year end. However, you can't expect QE3, money printing at 12,000 levels. So I'm waiting for the drop back below 1,000 on the S&P, then I go in. This should definitely justify QE3 and then up another big leg through 2012. Being a major doomer (based on real information, not hunch) though I see a major reset in the world markets occuring late 2012 into 2013.

Geez...Here's a tip: The only way to make money in this illogical, totaly technically driven equity market is to have an inside tip from the big banks or government officials who are manipulating and destroying a previously solid area for the smaller investor to make money long term. How's that for reality????

Stay out. The DOW will hit below 10,000 by the end of 2012. Lots of news to still come out concerning the past mortgage woes and the Europen situation.

The market is going to take a big dump soon.

Chasing stocks is not a good strategy in a volatile market. It's better to buy low and sell high, rather than buying high, which is what you're doing when you chase stocks. Let the market come to you. Unfortunately, most retail investors let their emotions rule and that's why most of them lose money consistently. I've made a lot of money this year buying on major dips and selling on the ensuing rally. It's not perfect but I seldom lose money.

This fool says "Identify quality companies, with good earnings growth, good cash flow, and in some cases nice dividends", that are technically "trending higher, not ones that are still in troughs." Why does the media continue to quote idiots like this guy who still believe in charting and other such "technical analysis", that attempt to use the past to predict the future...a fools game and proven to be so by academia. Please... the past is going to help predict the future in our volatile world with Arab uprisings, China currency manipulation, Euro crisis, Herman Cain popularity etc etc.

Am I the only person in the world that seems to realize that this whole market rally is completely artificial and manipulated???!!!!!!

Wouldn't let these guys cajole me into buying an overpriced basket of equity positions when the fundamentals and risks are still so bad. Until we find out who will be running the government next November I will be cautious. The dollar could be worthless in 2013, unemployment is high, credit risk is rising, we are buying weapons for the Mexican drug cartels, we give $500 billion to bankrupt solar campaign donors, entitlement spending is growing out of control, our debt has rose to $15 trillion, etc. Not a good sign for the equity markets.

Since when is reacting a better strategy than anticipating?

What a bunch of "doomers and gloomers" we have here. Sit on the sidelines all you want, I will take your share.

Jim Rogers made some glaring misstatements in this segment. He said, "China calls themselves communist but they're among the best capitalists in the world. California is more communist than China."

What? Jim, you idiot! Communism is politics, Democracy is politics. Capitalism is economics, socialism is economics. China calls themselves communist because, guess what? They don't have free and fair elections, Jim. California does have free and fair elections because they're part of a republic. What Jim meant to say is California is more socialist than China. But China is far from a true capitalist economy. They block foreign investment, and steal patents and copyrights like there's no tomorrow. This is a kleptocracy.

Today we're chasing a rally. Tomorrow the same reporters are quoting the world's "top economic adivsors" who are promising us a double dip recession. Get a clue.
