I can't tell, does the market keeping an upward momentum mean the that crash is now and the sky is falling?

Sorry, but there were tons of warnings about the inevitable housing market collapse back in 2003, which were ignored by the politicos in DC and elsewhere.

Hey look, last work day in Oct and nothing big happened. GDP grew, the market went up (actually the largest growth since 2006, even more then I thought), house sales went up, and economic activity went up.

So what now? Another moving of the goal post "just wait till the end of November"?

I watch CNBC daily so has anyone noticed that on September 1st the stocks continuously went up since that day. It was going down before that and there was no real reason for it to go up. I personally think it has something to do with the elections and after that the market will probably reverse. This is only my opinion.

I was wrong. Why are you so nasty? Is that necessary.

Because there is a war between the doomsayers and the optimists. I will not make any predictions for any specific time frame because they will ridicule me to if I am wrong.

Not nasty, just able to use the tool where you can search posts made by user.

Just seeing a trend, like to nip it in the bud instead of wasting a ton of time. If you wish to get the true measure of what one will do, look to the past of what they have done...not what they champion in their words. Some how saying that another is wrong when they are is throwing salt in the wound.

I'm already very happy with the money I made this month following my own advice

POMO and Monday morning ramp jobs, can you say highly manipulated? We have the Monday before election day and a POMO day no less so it's hard to imagine how they don't ramp the markets big time on Monday. Getting scary out there.
