Neither did you, Mack!!! Jim McMannis on aug 31 1998 sez: I think since we broke 8200 we are pretty much done for the year as is the bull. Two important factors will now keep the market under wraps.
1. Tax loss selling...
2. Taking of profits to counteract losses. This is needed because of
the IRS code not allowing more than a net loss of more than 3k in a calender year.
Jim

Both these will weigh heavily.

Well, folks we are below 8200, the majic number. A couple of closes below 8200 and it's turn out the lights, the parties over.

Jim: No I did not expect us to move back to 9300; certainly not in 6 weeks. And neither did you I think.

But the question now is what next? If we get a decent correction here, this thing should last through early next year with a good chance of Dow 10,000.

The way I see it the market will have a bullish bias until fears of inflation start up again. Strong commodities, weak bonds and a weak dollar will signal the end of the bull. Probably next spring.

Interesting that Steve Roach who reflects the thinking of Fed traditionalist is VERY CONCERNED about the bubble and the economic impact of its inevitable collpase.
