A similar view on the market..with a slant towards daytrading.
I love the stock market. What else is there to invest in? We have low inflation and low interest rates. I'm certainly not interested in low interest Treasury bonds. I think in 10 years DOW will be 25,000 and by then my son will be asked about DOW 26,000 and so on.

BUT....

I think for daytraders and short term traders the possibilities for good profits are enormous. They can 'shop the sectors' and buy whatever is the sector that is currently in favor. They can search beyond the 'overpriced big board issues' to companies with spectacular earnings going forward. Believe me there are small cap and medium cap companies that are enjoying good profit margins, just as the large cap and selected technology stocks are 'warning' about profits. Earnings estimates are being cut throughout the large cap tech sector but earnings estimates are being "RAISED" on other companies in various sectors. The key will be in 'stock selection'. If you carefully search among all the stocks out there, you will find the companies with explosive growth or even just a nice steady gain quarter after quarter.

I do think that the short term will be punctuated by lots of volatility. I still won't hold option positions for more than a week, but that is because options are not assets and can not be depended on indefinitely. I won't 'take home' stocks when a nice profit (1 1/2+) can be taken unless I'm convinced the trend can continue. I see that there are long term and extremely short term gains to be made (1-3 days as well as 1 year holds) I just want to profit on both ends.
