From Bob Brinker's Asset Allocation History
"Marketimer, May 3, 2012: "For now, we continue to maintain a favorable stock market view. We expect the current period of short-term consolidation to be contained withn the single-digit percentage range as measured from the April 2, 2012 S&P 500 closing high of 1419." "

ReplyDeleteI presume its days are numbered as a national show.
I just started a part time job at Enterprise. When I interviewed they said about 25 hours a week. This is my third week and they are doing their best to hold hours to 22-23 due to the Health bill. They are worried that if they go over 25 they will have to consider people full time and give benefits so this is the reaction. I am sure they are not the only company doing this so another casualty of the bill is that you can't get out of the underemployed situation without working about 3 twenty hour jobs as the pay is lousy and benefits non existent! I have found this to be true for two years now as I am also facing the underlying age discrimination issue. I know this is a little off topic but certainly a reflection of the economy which affects us all as traders!
