Tactics that Work in Good Markets and Bad
 
--

Dear Subscribers,

Unfortunately I was correct that the boost from Friday wouldn't last long. I think very little of it had to do with the mediocre Personal Income and Outlays report today (which actually had some good news about inflation in there). Plain and simple, there is just tremendous pessimism out there. And when you are looking for bad news, you'll generally find it. So that "glass is half empty" view of things has us right back at Dow 10,000. We bounced up from here the last 2 times. Maybe 3rd time is the charm…probably not.

In my book there is still just too much time between now and 3rd quarter data comes out in mid October. And in that time the trend remains to the downside with Dow 9600 and S&P 1000 acting as sirens songs drawing us to crash upon the rocks. Looking out to that 3rd quarter data the most important elements are corporate earnings & GDP. If those numbers are solid, then it will motivate some of the double dippers to join the muddle through economy camp...leading to a nice upside rally. If the news is bad, then more of us may be forced to join the double dip camp leading to more downside. Only the most foolish investors pretend that they know with 100% certainty what the outcome will be. The rest of us are much better served with a more balanced and flexible view that is prepared for either outcome. i.e. Please don't be a fool now...or ever.
