The Day
Investors,
As we come to the end of 2010 a run-away bull is loose on Wall Street. All in all 2010 has been a great year for my readers. We have had many major percentage movers and 2011 should show us the same with a bullish optimistic year ahead. I`ll be adding stocks to our Big Board Section so we have opportunities beyond the companies in normally follow. Space is limited in our Newsletter so you will see companies added in a section entitled " Stocks On Watch". day`s markets continued the year end rally as they gained support and the INDU rallied +20.51 points in this choppy end of year market environment. Many are still on vacation and start returning mid-January. It`s normal for a choppy market in January but this overall market climate is bullish at this time suggesting a continuation of this upward move the markets have had since July.
War North Korea is a big negative catalyst. I hate to say this but a 20 year old taking over the country means war is coming sooner or later. This new dictatorship will get power hungry and haughty as he continues, periodically, attacking South Korea. Man`s nature is aggressive and in a backward thinking warring nation it`s sure to show it`s ugly side, possible in 2011. If this happens, depending on the severity of the attack the markets will react negatively.
European countries banking etc is also a wild card. Good or bad anything negative does have a negative effect on our markets. Usually the dollar rises on European monetary weakness and a rising dollar means a lower U.S. market.
I am looking for a 10% correction starting around first part of May into the end of June. This pattern has developed over the last couple years. The wild car is where will the markets be when this correction starts and will it start That is May now is January but something for my readers to ponder the next few months as the markets continue their 2010 rally with the INDU assault on 12,000 coming.

Mid Term Bullish ( April-May 2011 )

The markets have no real short term direction at this time. I am expecting the next three weeks to be choppy trading as the year comes to an end. Some are still taking tax losses but it`s a little late in the year for tax loss selling.
China`s interest rate raise did have a slight affect on our markets at the open today. It was a catalyst that really didn`t create a selling market or a buying market. China is a major player world wide especially in their commodity consumption. There moves do untimely tweak our markets and the commodity markets. Higher commodity prices can create inflation as companies are paying higher prices for goods.
OIL Higher oil prices will not be good. I am expecting oil to move towards highs of a couple years ago also creating an inflationary environment. None of us will like paying $4.00 a gallon for gasoline…hurry up ELECTRIC CARS!
MY RANT!
I am 58 years old and have been paying for my retirement since SS was started plus trying to save believing the .gov will eventually figure out a way to screw retirees. Social Security was a good thing for all those that were given SS benefits when they retired years ago but since then the continual retirement age is being increased to ages that most will never be able to draw SS benefits because they will DIE first. Who the hell gives the right for these younger .govs in office to mess with our retirement. These public elected officials have the coziest retirement and they need to ask themselves why they think they deserve this and the general public gets screwed. This gives these elected officials no real reasons to fight for SS because, inside themselves, they likely think SS is a pain in the ass and it needs to slowly die a death. I see this Social Security Death March taking place! I WOULD SAY TO THE .GOV TO STOP PILLAGING/SPENDING SOCIAL SECURITY (my personal rant).
"Through a combination of procrastination and bad timing, many baby boomers are facing a personal finance disaster just as they`re hoping to retire. Starting in January, more than 10,000 baby boomers a day will turn 65, a pattern that will continue for the next 19 years"

My listed companies are hand picked for traders and investors. I think everyone needs to read and watch all the companies listed by First Alert. I can`t list all that I follow but we have had major gains especially over the last two years as the markets stabilize. We have had more major percentage movers then losers on our big board calls. Read them , Study them "NO They Are Not Over" .
Make sure you read and do DD on all the companies! Many are reaching my lofty targets giving investors nice percentage returns. I update these company commentaries daily.

INDU (DOW Jones)
No change in comment
Monday Comment I am expecting a flat week ahead as the INDU churns through the next two weeks. Holiday season slows down trading volume which does slow market advances. The INDU does look bullish going into year end earnings season. A pullback is needed to firm up the indicators and chart setting up for an assault on 12,000 in the first 4 months of 2011. The MACD is slowly flattening out but corrections should be shallow towards the 0.0 line therefore 11,000 support should be a bottom. We need to keep in mind that the INDU hasn`t stopped it move higher and could easily continue right into the January Effect. When traders return from their holiday vacation, mid January, the INDU should stabilize.
The INDU is pausing with a flat MACD and a slowing Stochastic. A MACD buy signal remains. The chart does have a higher top suggesting a higher INDU is ahead. Short term the INDU should be choppy setting up the Indicators and chart for a move towards 12,000.

I would like to see another week or two of a sideway pattern with no downside but that 1.25-1.30 range still sticks out so lets watch for a break one way or the other in the next couple weeks."
