AAPL beat the whisper number so badly, that investors will anticipate/expect the same in late April.
Until they are disappointed, Apple should remain a buy on the dips stock.

Oops, CNBC just said the market is up 20% from the Dec. lows.

Time for a healthy correction.
A long term bull says there is major support at 1280, and then again at 1250-1260 on the S&P.
Out the top they said that if this train can break 1370 it's on to 1400-1425.

If we go that high, look out below, during the summer.

^ the market may go up another 10pts before a correction hits. You could play it safe and take your earnings. You pretty much have a 50/50 shot of the market going up or down, you will either save your self from losses or miss out on gains.

50/50 at best, then take away costs for fees/commissions/taxes and that's why people cannot predict the future w/much certainty.

Just look back on this site and see how many people figured a big runup by now......pretty much zero. You might have a lucky one, but do not confuse outcome w/strategy.


No one has a clear crystal ball....

throwing darts like monkeys....

Not an "old timer", just someone w/some common sense on how to invest money......

Common sense doesn't get you very far in the investment world....

What I find so funny about you broken record types is that you have an extremely dogmatic approach to investing...yet believe that you're not speculating on the markets... Instead you describe it as "common sense"....

There are many roads to Dublin, however short term speculating is not a safe and sure road to saving for retirement.

Rather be a "broken record" w/a sound message than something else....

Oh well that clears things up then. You're in the wrong thread. This thread is for those of us interested in moving our funds around based on the speculation of weather the market will have a correction in the near future. This thread has nothing to do with saving for retirement.

These posts just show repeatedly its impossible to know w/any certainty what the market will do in the short term.

Even if that is a true statement, the question remains. Why bother posting in a thread that you have no interest in but to simply blow your "I know how to invest and you don't" horn as loud as you can? It defies logic.
