IMO. one more dip to come- probably by end of year.
In 1996 the bears began to come on the air and predict an end to the bull run. After the third failed bear rally in Oct of 1998 they gave up and the bulls went on up for another 2 years
Now we have had in two years 3 failed bull rallies on the way down but the bull have not yet capitulated.
I predict one more sharp dip followed by semi-recovery and several failed bear rallys before they finally give up
in disgust and let the market stabilize.

The huge trading volumes today are eating up the total value of assets in equities so there has to be more
money poured in by investors today than in the past to make this market move up.
Sig FWIW.

get ready within 3-6 weeks for Vicious Cycle next downleg

weakening USDollar with crumbling fundamentals
after a little more dropping yield on the TENyr, rising rates
Brazil elects socialist who moves to default on $400B in debt
collapsing JPMorgo from capital reqmt shortfall and ensuing liquidations
possible (no, likely) derivative accident with JPM in center
rising federal deficits
trade gap not coming down much at all, despite lower dollar
end of economy running on fumes from REFI cashouts
household debt assumption continues to outpace income growth
accelerating bankruptcies and job layoffs
new lows on major stock indexes

weakening USDollar further, and repeat cycle

we are about to repeat what happened in spring/summer
prepare for one Mother of a Perfect Storm

it will only end with action taken to save the USDollar
few seem to believe the currency storm might resume
show me a single piece of data that indicates the US economic fundamentals have reacted and improved with the lower dollar valuation
unfortunately, the dollar has rebounded enough to render much of the effects as meaningful and substantive

most are watching the Euro as the principal continent beneficiary from dollar adjustment
but the severe imbalance is with Asian currencies
watch the direction of the trade drain
it is Japan and China, plus PacRim Tigers
watch the direction of the USTrez financing
it is again Japan, China, and most of Asia
the JYen has gone from 124 in spring to 115 in June
now back to 123 again, ergo no change to help trade gap

Japan has now embarked on very serious MONETIZATION of stock market Nikkei holdings held by biggest banks
thus the accelerated debasement in the JYen recently
expect for the USGovt to monetize soon also
I anticipate the effort to fund growing Trez debt and S&P baskets
the effect on the dollar valuation will be dire
for 30 years the USGovt has been defying the Laws of Economics and Currency
now is time for THE REVENGE OF GOLD
gold's role is only murky with trade balance control
gold's primary role is politically circumvented totally, with currency control

a downward spiral is coming very soon
it wont be stopped until the dollar is fixed structurally
the scarey part of all this mess is that history has been revised on the Great Depression causes, whereby causes have been attributed to insufficient liquidity provided by bankers, together with unfortunate slowness in dropping rates

but you cannot fix a system that is suffering from an end chapter supercycle excess of credit bloat suffocation problem, by providing it evermore credit
since Jan2001 we have seen a 40% rise in the US money supply
that is effing staggggggggering, with no effect
except, of course, avoidance of economic collapse

next up: downward spiral
no place for denial here
just thought I would drop by and dismiss unwarranted optimism

how you been, BoPeep?
