Rally May Only Be in 6th or 7th Inning, Ritholtz Says

Sure sucker in some retail buyers now that big money pumped up the equities with taxpayer bailout money. VOTE OUT the INCUMBENTS in 2010.

My prediction is the Dow Jones will go up to 18,000 in five years...............Will I see Dow Jones 10,000.......Not long now..........Still the share is not overbought.................The value is still and fair..............Further to go this rally this Christmas not without set back on the way.........W- recovery...........adjust the porfolio and make money.........buy...........

Sounds about right... as soon as government spending, I mean forced taxpayer spending is over the real face of the market will show again. This is far from over and the worst hasn't come yet. Time to pick up a short position, its going to start soon. Get ready

I was long Arch Coal yesterday.. for about 20 minutes.. maybe I'll short it today for 15 minutes if the opportunity presents itself...

It's amazing how the reporters don't or won't see the big picture. The Retail Sales reported today neglected to mention that the retailers are selling goods with a decreased margin just to get sales. This means that the bottom line (profit) is not any better. It seems that the reporters are negligent or morons in how they skew the news to fit their objectives. This is not journalism it's opinion. VOTE OUT the INCUMBENTS in 2010.

Terry (the first reader comment) sums it all up in two short sentences. Simple, easy and a cure all. At least someone sees through the cloud of dust.

wow Task finally admitted he was wrong, too bad a lot of people listened to him, not me at least

Well........ Sure the market has rallied significantly from the March lows. But what has driven this rise? Increased earnings? Incresing sales? OOOPS... none of the above. How about government spending. Ding.. Ding... Ding.... Ding. The consumer represents 70% of the economy and the real unemployment rate is nearing 17% with no appreciable slowing. Hummmmmmm... Makes you wonder when this 'buble' will burst?

All of the people using these comment sections to advertise their websites are hypocrites. If they would use revenues to pay for real advertising it would help generate revenues for other companies. Instead they like to come to Teck Ticker and other sites to complain and push their bear opinions when they are contributing. Pathetic

Thank you, Chicken Littles!

I read an article the other day that said investor surveys showed people "stayed the course" throughout the crash. In a word, they did "nothing", the article said. Then, in the very next paragraph, the writer opined that the rally would soon start drawing the trillions of dollars on the sidelines "back into stocks", apparently oblivious to the obvious contradiction. The stock market today is essentially a casino...easy come, easy go. Really, who knows what any of that paper is actually worth? Follow the touts and bet your future on a paper pyramid and you very likely will get exactly what you deserve.

FDIC (the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) and JPM (JP Morgan) prior to the seizure of Washington Mutual bank. Shareholders contend: 1) that these actions were unjustified 2) that they were unethical 3) that Washington Mutual Bank was not failing. As evidence of our claims, reports now surfacing indicate the liquidity of the bank was much better than the public was led to believe; by most accounts, the bank had enough funds to cover the withdrawals by depositors. Washington Mutual executives knew these facts; however, their claims made days before the seizure that the bank was in good health were ignored. We the concerned shareholders of WAMU contend that the FDIC was not right in doing so and has caused irreparable harm to the WAMU stockholders, to the banking community and to the markets in general. As a result of this action, shareholders of thousands of companies throughout the world have lost trillions of dollars since.

the sugar coating is starting to wear off , the numbers are going to start to go bad and i doubt 10,000 where are the improvements? really? i hear some pretty big layoffs coming again as companies still trying to trim down , whats the failed bank nos. so far 87 and going way up this fall the fed is scrambling for buyers now , no its far from over we are more likely in 3-4 th inning and congress isn't coming up with much yet but damage control ,,, and health care .. wheres the health care for the economy boys you are doing a bang up job on that huh.

It is time to buy. The bears on this board have lost everything and are trying to come up with anything they can to make it seem like the market is coming back down. Buy, buy, buy!!!

Technicals... fundamentals ... who uses them anymore when you have INFOMERCIALS taking all that pain and frustration away from you ... sure, yeah, gloomers and doomers and chicken littles all talking at once because the streets are paved with gold and mana from heaven is falling upon us... This little exercise since March is what Moses did to his followers.... These new regulations being bantered around are the stone tablets and we are all going to be in the land of milk and honey soon.... Sure, read about Moses and his journey and what he once he got there.... make while you can people.

Things are so good Best Buy just missed the mark but were better than expected and not as bad as one would want to believe and there is still light at the end of the tunnel and everything is coming up daiseys while the roses are in bloom.

Follow the trend and the heck with the experts. Half the pundits say it will keep going up and the other half say it will be going down. Nobody knows.

It looks like it wants to roll over to the downside. Earnings are low so P/E are high. Unless there are some stonking earnings reports why should it go higher?

Melia is in agreement with Mr Ritholtz. The rally could well run some more, but I am still expecting an intermediate correction - which we need, so we can reload the turrets and blast away with our favorite names. Calling tops is very tough (you don't know it was a top until well afterward), so this is why we have to let our profits run and protect them with stops (which you can loosen or tighten as conditions warrant). ///////// /////////// Finally a TT interview actually dealing with financial matters - I'm sick of having to defend capitalism against the likes of Krugman and Galbraith (the know-nothing "perfessers") in this age of the government looter. But I do recall one Maynard Keynes quote worth repeating: "the market remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent." So don't fight the tape.

Selective commodities plays? Sure... although of course you make it sound like there's about two. A false picture of weakness. There's thousands.
