Run Bull Run!

Post by VAmanBulls »

Run Forest, run! Do you remember that Forest Gump movie back in 1994? One of my favorites. One day he just started running and running. He picked up followers along the way. I find myself saying that to the Bull market; Run Bull run! Why did Forest stop running? He said he was pretty tired now and I think I'll go home. Well, one day the Bull will stop running and he too will go home. But not so fast, this bull market is still being fueled by a healthy dose of low interest rates and heaping servings of government stimulus. That can justify the high P/E ratios for now. I see him running for a bit longer. But stay alert TSPers, the Bull will get tired. We are spending a lot. I mean a lot, lot. Somehow that spending needs an income source. I see tax hikes as a threat to the bull. I also see interest rate increases one day breaking the Bull's will to run. Will corporate earning continue to impress? So what happens when the stimulus stops, interest rates rise while increased taxes are imposed? I think that day is coming. But you know "mama always said, life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get." Stay motivated!

We need a smoke break, and then start running again in the fall and winter.

Low summer volume, flat ^VIX and familiar U-shaped intra-day curve for the common indices seem to indicate that the day traders have been running the market for the past couple months. Waiting for the big boys to come back from their european/carribean/cruise vacations and get some more volatility.
