RE: "I'd avoid market direction as a theme, as I believe it is not predictable. Two areas for which I have thought of starting threads are: 1) sector rotation strategy, and 2) risk management."

I like the sector rotation idea as well, but for a different reason. My reason is that I believe (opinion only) that the market will remain in a trading range of about 7150 to 8500 during the year. However, individual sectors will take their turns going through significant corrections of 30% or more. One group of sectors will be beaten down while others will be flying high. (Currently, tech stocks are in their own bear market while consumer non-durables, regional financials, etc., are flying high).

Under my scenario, there will be no major "market direction," so the sector rotation thread will be more interesting than the market direction thread.

My opinion only,

I2

Larry,

HNY to you, also.

" I'd avoid market direction as a theme, as I believe it is not predictable"

In what time frames and to what degree and to what accuracy? Surely you have seen my indicators, especially weekly ones, hit the trend week after week with usually EXPIRY being the exception... even hits then sometimes!

I am interested in your response since the entire fabric of the investment mentality seems to be based on the belief in market predictability, IMHO.
