Sorry for putting this in the wrong forum. I can't delete or move it.

US Stocks were up 2 % last week as Bernanke announced massive buying of mortgage backed securities. Most major market indices have now gained back most or all of the losses from 2008 and 2009. So should we invest more , or take profits?

You get one trade to make and hold for the week, pick one.
Best % return as of Friday close wins.
SPY closed Friday at 147.24.
It's an anonymous poll

I've been accused of being dumb like a coyote.

But here's how I'm making this market. . . . .

One of my contacts is telling me that there is a lot of buying going on, prepping for Armageddon in the Middle East. Our MIC is the world's premier supplier of the merchandise being sought.

Our "intelligence" network didn't "fail", they were in fact responsible for planning, setting up for, and executing the provocations that guarantee war. That's why we have the HSA, the CIA, the NSA, and a lot of other outfits out there doing the work to support our industry.

yeah, we have some conservatives doing the death rattle about the Constitution, and the duty of Congress to declare war, and all that. And yeah we have some various folks like the progressives and the LaRouchies on the left, and the Ron Paulies and others on the right, describing the costs of war, and how long it will take to "stabilize" Iran in the NWO format, and a lot of burned-out soldiers hating the job of world cop.

And yeah, Obama doesn't even show up at the daily briefings, and probably believes America needs to step down from the World Stage anyway, and might even hope we lose the war his managers have forced him into. . . .considering, correctly, that it's not a war for the people, but a war for the interests.

And yeah, Romney stepped into it. . . . and might have so serious blundered in his criticism of the Commander in Chief . . . . . he might not be able to recover and win the election, which is a serious setback to the war promoters in our establishment, since Romney might have actually been interested in American success. . . .

And yeah, China is now the leading economy in the world, and is going to force us to devalue our dollar, and is going to claim the financial leadership of this planet, and our dollars are going to decline to maybe a tenth of the present value over the near term, three years out. . . and we are going to become another third world country with suburban shantytowns. . . . like the ones that already exist in California. . . . but . . . . .

We do make the best bombs and other stuff that wars are made of, and we're going to go to our strong hand. . . . . which is war.
 
well, I haven't been following the market very close. . . . I invest in my own business, where I'm the insider who knows what's going down. . . or up. But I found something this morning from some technical analysts which goes to the point that a lot a of investors anticipated the QE3 and maybe even QE4, and the discussion was about how all the fools have already been flushed from the sidelines, and there just isn't any more stupid money betting the market will be able to go up much further. Their conclusion was that the reality of market gravity is evident, and investors who are (not) all that stupid are taking their profits and . . . . well, not "running" to the bank but at least sewing their cash in their mattresses.

where it will be eaten by the rats I suppose while it becomes worth about as much as sawdust.

technical considerations aside, inflation is known to float stock values as well as any other commodity, and stocks are as good as gold for inflationary hedges. And we will not be able to avoid inflation forever, if ever.
 
On thursday morning it it 146.70. It rose ahead of the QE3 announcement from 144, rising on volume, and has since seen volume drop off, with a little weakness in the price. Same with silver and gold and other commodities. Seems the market knows before the news hits the stands. . . . .
 
SPY dipped under 146 early this morning, so the limit buy orders would have been hit.

I hear people argue both sides on the direction of the market.
Some people say its going up, others say down.
