Thread: Stock market in bull ?

Yes, it is really bad at the moment, I lost alot when I bought Google ads. i am not going to sell it though I think that it will rise soon.

Whatever stock you hold that has to do with online stuff, be sure to advertise for it. That will help in more people signing up for it..

Punting? When we mention the Stockmarket here I am assuming the NYSE and the NASDAQ are what most people will be referring to.
For the 2nd half of 2006 you are in for a bumpy ride.
1> With the summer coming on you will see volume being a bit lower (all the investors & brokers takingvacation while the kids are out of school). So with less volume you tend to see more volitility.
2> The FED is still sending mixed signals to the market regarding inflation. This is understandable since Bernanke (sic) is new and the street hasn't figured out how to read between the lines of what he says yet
3> I am still putting my guesstimate on there being more rather than less trouble in the Mid East re oil prices. I can't see either the US or Iran sitting down and talking rationally about the nuclear questin. And both China and Russia don't want to know about it...esp China since they need every drop of oil they can get!

So my prediction (and yes you can all say "i told you so" in December) is that the US markets will be down by between 5-8% by the end of the 3rd quarter with a small rally in early December.

If you want to cover yourself stay in metals/ healthcare and cash. (If i get this right you will pay me brokerage fees right?....lol)

Or you can invest your money in yourself! that to me is the best way to go for most of us!

Minning get your money in there

thanks guys, very nice analys and suggestion, i feel the same way , look the index for past years , it is up for 2 years, it is the time to be down. i am curious about the oil company stock, they are doing badly these days, oil price is up and up , why their stock is going down in generally. i have no clue. any idea? thanks

BW, Oil stocks in the US are retracing because of way overweighted buying in the last 6-9 months. The PE ratios were getting obscene for most of the big guys. There are still bargains to be had in the smaller oil EXPLORERS rather than the big oil companies. But if you want to look at the ones that will move over the next 1-2 years you need to research the companies that make the equipment that the oil companies use. But mining is still a good place to diversify into (I am weighted about 12-15% in various). Especially the precious metals as a hedge to inflation. A couple in Australia a couple in Canada and also the large diversified miners. Iron Ore companies should see reasonable profits over the next couple of years also. But before jumping there you need to wait till we find out what the heck Acelor decides to do. THAT will be an intersting fight. If they accept the Mittel offer then i am running away as fast as I can!

Peter, thanks, i am interested in the mining and exploer company in Canada too, some small companies too. i did not get the news that what Acelor offer Mittel? what deal they negociate?

BW,
Mittel is trying to take over Acelor. The owner of Mittel is a predator. I have seen his work before. This guy is India's answer to Gordon Gecko out of the movie. He launches take-overs promising to help etc etc then strips the company. He is a !$#%&*!#&$....... (does that get me around the cursing policy?). Acelor are maybe going to merge with a Russian company as a defense. It's all a bit messy and i haven't been paying too much attention to it. If Arcelor get the merger done then from what little I have looked at it is a good marriage since the Russian co is mainly a miner of iron ore and coal..... Strangely enough that is exactly what you need to make steel! I think the only main hurdle there as far as investing would be whether the Russian government does the same thing as they did to the Oil guys there......... Not much point in buying shares if the government takes the company over on a B***S*** fraud charge!

i c,thanks .
