Hi Voltaire, Not only does the market climb a wall of worry, it reaches new highs with as few retail investors holding stocks as possible. That is until the houses want to distribute their inventory. Then they entice you to buy while they are locking in profits from their purchases at much lower prices (where they were prying those shares from you on the cheap with their wall of worry). It's a vicious circle that the houses seem to improve on as time marches on. BWDIK Tim

high alpha/ low beta stocks dont enter the toll booths they grow in backwaters my little VOXX today got up, stretched legs, then sat down for some lemonade, no work done, but no kick in the nuts either, down 1/8 I subscribe to three newsletters one is a statrat editor who espouses the alpha stock methods he makes a new double every month out of his 15-18 stocks the other two newsletters I get for their overall market view they both say the same thing right now Courtney Smith says the major indexes will rise from here to midSept he thinks end of Fed tightening cycle is good for stocks he acknowledges the effect of such tightening has tapped the brakes on earnings growth but he concludes stock prices rise gradually, under control the last several days have been slightly "out of control" he has a great quote "never sell into a boring market, since they are usually bullish" he thinks late June was boring & uneventful so today is a reminder of that the unboring market needs to quiet down the other guy Richard Schmidt eagerly awaits the end of the Fed tightening cycle, simple as that he advised at turn of July to have cash ready to put to work I like both these guys very much on market turns they both think stocks (esp techs) rally into September neither warns of any August annual decline they both think we have one possible Fed hike left regardless, they both think endSept/earlyOct will be dicey if no Fed hike, then stocks might rally too fast & furious prior if Fed hikes, then stocks will take a quick hit on slowdown fears either way, Oct might have some airpockets I head to Cuba to open a cigar boutique next weekend my ugly brother is already down there, sampling the wares hands in my pockets, feeling good / Jim Willie
