Tradermike - there is still so much air in many of these stocks, anyone that sees much on any rally is dreaming.

Spending the whole weekend redeploying many tracking lists - and let me tell you there are so many beautiful shorts. Within tech, within the NYSE, within the DOW - take a look at some PEs in healthcare, insurance, retail, banking, schools, biotech............

The ballon is still half full - and that 500 target would put us back to 1990 levels on the NAS. Now if this truly does turn into a global recession and what with the debt levels it could become reality.

The bigger reality is the DOW - everyone thinks they are safe there right now, this will be the next big crash to come in the next few months. Take a look at PEs over there.
You think technology is expensive.

Once again - this is the best thread on SI.

A friend of mine who was formerly a gold analyst and stockbroker had a long phone conversation this weekend. His cousin, a high-tech momentum investor, called him excitedly for information about how to "play" gold and energy. Several newspaper and web articles that I read on the weekend also tipped gold stocks and cash as the places to be.

After 3 weeks of upward movement, I think gold stocks will continue their momentum. These momentum addicts haven't had a fix for quite a while now, and gold is the kind of aerie-faerie commodity they can get high on.

The TSE Gold & Precious metals index:

On the downside, I also think the top will be pointy and the demand for jewelry is likely to decline, so buyers beware.
