I agree. Markets have run too hard since Fed cut, I think there are more problems related to the credit market still to come.

ya also disagree. Risk of US recession is very low, and anyways these days the US less important (still king, but the subjects a little less in awe). I have meself a simple view. All time highs = bullish.

We'll see more trouble emerge next year when all those ARM's reset round jan-march. Hopefully we'll have a nice nov/dec rally. In the meantime Im tempted to go long EUR/USD with a tight stop just before teh announcement. aaah the life of a speculator ...

Ja ....you see what you guys dont realise is that the market looks ways ahead.....do you think that a few days ago or even weeks ago the market didnt know that this jobs report is imminent? The market rallied in anticipation.....so now it has the risk priced in...when the numbers are out the risk discount falls away and we reprice.....you gotta start throwing that damm conventional wisdom away....

It may be conventional, but I am not sure it is ever wisdom!

I will rather be on the sideline on this one. I will wait for market reaction first before buying at these levels...

Ja lots of physicists here ...where are the traders? I recall going to a TA course about 2 years ago....Yonatan Rom was saying the market was due for a big correction cause it had run so hard and that we should be moving out of equities....we were at 18000 then... I also recall MLA was at R 56 and he told me it was unlikely to recover from those levels....

R56 for MLA wonder how many guys on this forum bought back then and are still holding, laughing of course all the way to the bank.

You may be right or you may be wrong. However, the market is due for profit taking soon... I will rather be wrong and be on the side line than take a risk with market at current levels.

yes that is the prudent thing to do as long as you dont chase it either way....remember the time to enter is on the pulback to the breakout or the bounce back up to the breakdown

Indicators are always good, but you really shouldn't be driving at all when you've been drinking, John.
