<<The market is close to a bottom. Let’s be patient. An awesome buying opportunity is shaping up right now.>> <<Statistical sentiment figures also show extreme fear. The put/call trading volume ratio has been moving higher in recent days, showing option players are getting more bearish. (They are usually wrong at major market turning points.) And the put/call price premium ratio (which looks at prices rather than volume) just hit its lowest point since 1987! Their emotional message is clear….run away from the stock market! As we've said many times, you shouldn't worry yourself over what some pundit says is in the cards. Ask yourself, where were these dire predictions at the end of August? Or at the start of March, when stocks were supposed to go up forever? The point we're trying to make is that it's human nature to feel pessimistic after the market falls and optimistic as it rises. So take these predictions with a grain of salt. Meanwhile, for those who really are wondering whether the long-term trend is intact, we want to assure you it is. How do we know? Well, one of the driving factors of the market is liquidity…it's what pushes prices ever higher. Right now, one measure of the money supply (the Money Zero Maturity measure, or MZM) has grown 8% over the past year. This is solid growth. To put it another way, the MZM has expanded a cool $350 billion over the past fourteen months. Translation? There is plenty of liquidity being created in our economy. Or how about this: There is currently just under $900 billion parked in retail money market funds. That's clearly a ton of potential buying power. Add to these liquidity totals the fact that inflation is dormant, productivity is soaring and profits for the leading Internet firms continue to grow relentlessly, and you have the recipe for a long-term bull market.>> I have nothing but above to add Getcher.. I am prisoner of my own analysis.. I just don't see the reason of impending debacle, unfortunately I am optimistic person may be one of those diggers of own graves, however reasons has motivated me in life I see no reasons for war, no reasons that son of any fathers or mothers should lay their life, no reason for any major call up, the incident in Aden is an isolated incident, a terrorist attack 4000 Km from stone throwing in Aqsa. The stone throwers have point but so does people who are lynched to death, people who loose oportunities end up as permanent losers, such is the destiny of life. Here i don't even see that those who have always adopted violence over reason has naything else to lose. They got to come back to the negotiations table, they got to pick the pieces from where they left nearly 10 days ago. The economic lifelong of these territories are dependent on the opportunities in Israel, for me the populace will understand it, the bluff will soon called, the life will become normal and we would see no war..
