You have to turn Bullish Smell man to end the madness. This Bull is not going to die happy till every Bear capitulates.

This bull is ending in typical fashion, only in an extended manner. The median stock has been in a bear market for 11 months. The indices are all that is left.

It is almost identical to the end of the Nifty-fifty bull market in 1973. As a matter of fact, I dreamed that I was back watching Nixon resign last night.

The end of a bull market has so much in common with the current happenings, it would be much easier to find the the differences- Which is what the bulls focus on.

Don't get me started- or I'll start tellin' you all the matches..

OK- here's a few
Narrow Breadth
Wide public participation in stocks
Rampant speculation
Increasing Splits
Increasing Mergers
Low short interest
Numerous IPO's
Parabolic index charts
Daytrading Housewives
Teen Age Gurus

I'll list 10 more later,

Stinkin it up like a NCAA 16 seed,

Bung Belittler .... S'up homes?

The confusing wave formations are a hallmark of a rip roaring move up, cause it's hard to disinguish the impulse waves from the upwaves in the correctives. That's always my favorite time to go long, when i see that happening. As for your call for this market to top soon, i can't dispute that, but i can't trade it either.

My cycles don't call for a cycle high until next Wednesday. Today (Thursday) we had a 16 day cycle low due, so any break of today's NYSE low in the near term would signal a significant sell-off in progress. I definitely won't take on new shorts until that happens, or 1370 is achieved, or next Wednesday, whichever comes first.

On an aside, you should really try to refrain from scaring people out of their long term positions with huge capital gains. Every month i hear you calling for a 20%+ correction, and it never comes!! How irresponsible!! Do you know how much you are costing people in capital gains taxes, then they have to buy back in 10% above where you told them to sell!!?? And i'm not smiling or laughing as i write this! <GGGGGG>

But i still love you, stink and all.

Regards,

BK

P.S. if you expect me to include cusip #'s with my trades, "You've got another thing coming." You're gonna have to hike my salary if you want that much effort outta me!! <g>

Those were Mar S&P 1330 Calls for 2.90 and Nyse Mar 620 calls for 2 7/8 i added today on the dip. Looking touch and go still, but i'm willing to trust that channel and yesterday's Nyse Cash low of 606.46. If i lose i lose.

Super Play of the Week:

bigcharts.com

Look at that breakout on heavy volume. Fundamentals are great too. 35 by expiration? NDBCE's (Mar 25 calls) could be a big winner.

These guys were rated 3rd best online broker, ahead of Etrade and Ameritrade, by some highly regarded financial mag over the weekend...Anybody catch that?

David

P.S. Was that you doing all that buying this am Carl? 1315SPX looking likely.
