What’s wrong with the economy? Nothing if you listen to Goldilocks and the three Feds. But if you have a sense that something is amiss, you’ll probably appreciate this video… More information in 2 minutes from Seth Green than you’ll get in 2 days from CNBC.
By the way, if you think the consumer is heading back to ‘normal’ then you might want to pay attention to the mortgage mess looming in 2010-2011. Basically the Alt-A recasts scheduled to begin in 1Q10 and continue almost through the end of 2011 will put a damper on any housing rebound. This problem also is likely keep REAL consumer sentiment depressed for some time.
My take (subject to revision
) is to enjoy the rally now because things probably will look a little different come January. -

I continue to preach the gospel of puppies and bunnies in the financials to the point where I believe a concentrated risk in the financial sector is worth the exposure given the potential rewards. That said, I thought the financials would flat line for six months and so I’m giddy that they continue to wiggle around.
Meanwhile the spanks index (BKX) continues to run above the 50,100 and 200 simple moving average.
And the S&P honors support.

Your banks just got kicked in the cajones. Interested to know if you use any hedges.
Looks like, we may follow last weeks pattern and head down for a few days. Friday afternoon might provide a good buying opportunity.
Edit- S&P about to break under 900 again.

Sorry, Mace. I just spent 30 minutes on a response that was lost when I tried to post. My now much condensed response, sans links and witty commentary, is that my prognosis HAS changed. This spring has seen a very tradable rally and stuff that shocked me last winter is now widely known.
The near-term still has me very wary. Alt-A and ‘option pay’ mortgages are a known problem and toxic loans are exploding on schedule. Unemployment is expected to remain high through 2010. Commercial and credit card debt is still a cause for concern. All of this is priced in.
The long term (beyond 2012) looks pretty good for housing and OK for the rest of the economy. Deficits will be a problem for the next decade, however, at $1Tn per year. GDP likely will grow annually at 2% or less. Taxes will have to increase. Consumers will have less disposable income.
I like financials, commodities and capital goods. This spring has seen leveraged companies out-perform others, but I think strong balance sheets will rule in the future. There will be a further culling of the weak and inefficient. And at some point companies will have to show rising earnings, not just earnings that beat expectations.
Peace.

C is off by a shiny penny and Spank of Americana is up 1.82%.
Anyway, yes, I have put protection on the core. The trading stock weathers the wind but the ship is looking for more adventurous crew having dumped a pile of them out on the Isle of $11.42.

I don’t think they will unless GM stays C11 for too long. Then they will replace GM with another sheet metal company.

BAC looking interesting for a scalp near 11.00 with a tight stop.

Is this the beginning of the long-awaited broad-market correction (collapse) we (read I) have been waiting for? Or another bear trap? It has triggered sell signals. Is it really here finally? Amazingly AAPL is still solidly up!

I believe it’s known as a trading range. Roughly 875-935. Once we break below 875, I will believe the end is near.
Edit- cramar, for some reason your post reminded me of Linus sitting in the pumpkin patch waiting for the great pumpkin. The memory put a smile on my face. Thanks.

If the market continues to correct tomorrow, AAPL will follow the market b/c the 2 upgrades from yesterday and today will loose their steam IMO.

I hope so. I sold too early.

Not today! But nice 5-waver down today. The form of tomorrow’s rally will tell whether this 5er is the end of the correction and we head up again, or the beginning of a impending collapse. My vote is on the latter. The technicals look ominious.
