<<two of our three major indices have remained negative nearly throughout. I'd be interested to hear whether people think this is consolidation in preparation for a healthy summer rally, or the bull market running out of steam.>> imo, mkt dynamics have now make it impossible to balance and weight the limits of ups/downs for current and potententail mkt impacting news. Some key dynamics that are new includes: - heavy focused towards 500 index or total mkt returns - Web and online trading, makes possible easy and prompt trading to all types of people - cost of trading, drastically reduced because of automation and competition - mkt dips are seen as buying opportunity and seems to be working up till now for the last 2 yrs - major corporation focus towards returns to investors (at any cost ) Easy web trading plus very low cost enables a large pool of small investors to participate in trading of small quantity and still make some profit. 10,000 buying 100 shares each during a mkt dip is not an insiginificant impact. As always, the basic elements, such as interest rate, global stability, national politics, corp earnings etc. etc. will still play key roles. But, the overall impact is unknown when these new factors of mkt dynamics are added to the basic elements.
