Todd Gordon thinks it's a real possibility.

I'm still all in at S-60% and C-40%.

Why not? The sky is the limit, in fact some people say that this is an unsupportable bubble. To those people I say, this time is different. We know more than they did in the past. Why the investor in 1929 is the most sophisticated investor in history. So go ahead and buy on margin.

I can see it, only a 15% gain from here. I believe in America.

In record territory again today. But can it last? With my luck, I'll jump in on February 1st and it'll take a nose dive!

Is the Dow going to blow through 20,000 this morning?

I like hindsight...I remember when I was in college and the Dow hadn't broken through 2000 and people wondering if it ever would :mrgreen:

Now will S&P break through 2300 today? 5 points away currently.
How long before a pull back or will there be a pull back?

Maybe we should change 2500 to 3000 in the subject line.

I'd take profits at 2335, if that breaks and want to stay in, look at 2450. before correction

I'd say 2450 is in the crosshairs !

The US Dollar has been on a tear recently...
And the Dow Transport Index hit a triple top yesterday...

The future is looking bright !

Trump is coming out with his new tax plan soon...
And the crisis with the crumbling dam in California has brought his plan to rebuild the nation's infrastructure to the front and center....
Janet Yellen is FINALLY going to raise interest rates (the market liked hearing that today!)

Don't miss the boat folks !

I'd still take profits here, not short, big difference. Yellen won't be raising rates until December and even then, new people will be in office so anything said now can change quickly by then. Trumps plans wont take effect until probably very late 2017, if not 2018. If I had a guess, and this is not investment advise, I'd think the C + S fund could continue at a slower pace (maybe even some sideways action) for 4-5 weeks to 2450. I think the smart move may be buying into the F fund soon as TLT is just aching for a breakout and is a better bet over Q2.

I think we may be heading higher. I'm staying with C for now.

While the S fund has been on a tear the last few weeks, the F fund has been on a downward move over the last 5 days. Currently I am splitting my bets 50 / 50 between S and F, so not making as much as I could, but still gaining. I am hedging that the S fund will see some negative or sideways movement for the next week or so, may be a dumb move but I am moving everything to F today. This will be my 1st IFT this month, so can still move back in if I see fit. I am hoping for the best and if my record holds true those moving into S tomorrow should get a big upward movement HA HA.
