There are students of technical analysis and those who are professors of fundamental analysis. There are those who follow the sentiment and psychology of the market and then there are those who follow the "stock market almanac".
According to the "stock market almanac", the last day of September, Sept 30 is quarter window dressing day and has been a big selling day. Conversely, Oct 1 is a great day to buy into the nasdaq-100, think QQQQ.
There you go, can't go wrong...right?
Now, wait a minute...
Who has the better track record..the fundamentalists or the wizards of technical analysis or those who follow seasonality tendencies?

Mo,

I hate seasonality. Half the time one is way above the average ... half the time way below. Its like putting one hand in a bucket of boiling hot water and the other in a bucket of ice ... and then saying that on average I feel fine. There are much better methods than seasonality which are far more interesting and rewarding as well.

As for this rally ... it is still healthy and currently primed with short sellers. If Case-Shiller is a good report (in 1 minute) we should rally to new highs.

For fun, let's see waht happens Sept 30 to the market and Oct 1 to the nasdaq100....I don't like the 'Stock Market Almanac" since they charge you for everything on their web site and their yearly book costs nearly 40.00.

Hey, for what it's worth. Mr JJJ got one right..SQNM is getting creamed today. And oh, by the way, Levene O Murray was long on SQNM and got it wrong. I guess JJJ, sometimes people do get lucky..nice call.

For whatever its worth. I consider the drop in consumer sentiment a positive for the rally in spite of the market's current reaction. An increase in consumer sentiment would also reflect greater public participation in the markets. From a contrary perspective, this is a good report.

Every single new car dealer in the U.S. "hopes" TB is right about consoomer sentiment too. We went from a "govmint induced" car buying frenzy in Aug to what will be reported for Sept as being the worst mumph for new car sales in the history of America. :o It's a GOOG thang Wall St doan care....ainna? :-) Well, I gots newz fo ya, sheeple. Wall St will care. That's why JDShots is my ONLY competition....until the O'Bombas announce the "cash for foreclosures" program I purrdickted of course :-) 3J

No guarantees on that ... but so far so good :-). BTW, I'm going to be gone the rest of the day. Happy trading and congratulations for spotting opportunities in the recent weakness.

I have a feeling that 3J is contending with the GDP surprise at the moment.

Actually, I don't even follow reported news atall cept I use it to see if it is causing chit to take out lows or highs that need to say bye bye. I haven't even turned CNBC on for over 1 year ifn you can believe that. It's the best move I have ever made as a trader actually. Of course I gotsta get my Cramer news from udder sources...and I'll have to catch his seckond mental breakdown on live tv on Jootube I guess :-) Mighty Mouth...I don't back down from ANY challenge. I am an equal opportunity azz kicker. I don't care who ya is. I will pick on anyone who is as clueless as you and BSNBC in purrticular ...plus I'm a "nice guy" besides. :o Ifn you noticed...I longed URE yestermaday at the close. That means I'm trying to give you one last chance to realize your Miss Takes :-) 3J

Actually, I'm still "hoping" to get 5.90 for ZSL and at least 15.50 for DUG. I've been holding both positions for over a week. I already took 2/3 o'me new FAZoo off....but I will eliminate that last 1 hunnert on a move back up thru 22.25. Hey...did ya see the news? I'm actually gonna try and save yer TSFG thingy but it needs to break belows 1.31..."obviously" :-) I like that little "telegraphed" move Manny did to 1.80 before he did a 180...all I gotsta do is skeeer these new playas out and she "should be" GOOG to go...altho you won't score any points of course >>> :-( It's gonna be intrusting to see ifn you hold MRGE until yer points are gone tho :o But hey...doan say I didn warn ye. *-) You made some really crappy new picks lately BTW. NTES?!! YIKERS! :-) 3J
