It is critical that our short term Fibonacci Extension target was hit Thursday before the market made its upward reversal from the day's lows.  Now is the 'tricky' part.  It is imperative to keep a close eye on the short term wave action.  Don't let any 'head fake' movements in the indexes 'sucker' you in to bad positions.  Stay Objective and keep the different possible Elliott Wave Theory counts in mind as a precautionary measure.

Due to the nature of Thursday's Trading Action the Pre-Market Update for Friday has been published early. There  may be an additional update later tonight after we see how the futures and overseas markets are trading.

How much longer can the Dow Industrials Index stay above 8,000?  How much lower then 8,000 will it go in the next bear cycle? Don't be surprised and left holding the 'bag'.

30%+ move coming in the U.S. Equity Indexes?  

Remember there will always be 'buying' opportunities; but the trick is knowing when to SELL. The days of 'Buy and Hold' may be gone for some time.

2008 was the 'year of confusion'.  2009 could be the 'year of suffering' for the undisciplined, unobjective investor/trader.  Remember, we can't 'fix' the current economic problem.  While the 'Financial Pundits' are all trying to figure out how to fix the problem our objective is to find the trading range, up or down, and profit from it; taking our piece of the pie.  We as traders/investors can't change the economic situation in this country but there is absolutely no reason not to profit from any market move.

Bear rally over; now the dying begins
Everybody should have known the holidays would only delay it. The freight train of job cuts, plunging earnings and spending cutbacks was pushed back a few weeks.

PAUL B. FARRELL Making money the lazy way After their eight Lazy Portfolios beat the S&P 500 by 3 to 18 points in 2008, the creators expect even better results in 2009, holding the same assets that got them through this difficult year.   ShepWave Comment on above article:  It is amazing that some investors/traders are happy with just not losing money.  When the markets make a 40-50% move and a trader doesn't make money... something is wrong in my opinion; especially when the technicals over the past year were clear and decisive.  Happy New Year.... let's hope these investors get some help for 2009; or maybe not.  Lazy Investors/Traders will probably remain Lazy.  Although PAIN is sometimes a great motivator.  LOL

Who isn't a Bernard Madoff victim? The list is telling. - De...

Don't be a Madoff Victim.  OR a victim of Madoff 'like' scams which are all over Wallstreet.  Most of the so called Financial Pundits one sees constantly bickering and arguing on the TV trying to figure out the 'fix' to the current situation will be sittting directly behind the eight ball when the markets make their next move.  Remember to stay objective and disciplined in your trading/investing decisions.  The rich (and the smart) will get richer; while the poor (or those who are undisciplined) will get poorer.

Below are today's headlines.  Merry Christmas I guess.  But, remember we will make money regardless of what the economy does.

A midday turn for the worse

U.S. indexes forfeit narrow gains as investors look toward holiday break — but not before digesting a full plate of economic data. • Santa Claus trades in sleigh for Chevy, reports Peter Cardillo   HOUSING AND HOME LOANS A 17-year low Sales of newly constructed U.S. housing fall 2.9% in November. Resales slammed Existing-home sales plunge 8.6%; price slide is steepest ever. • Housing hobbles on (First Take)

'The Fed will employ all available tools to promote the resumption of sustainable economic growth.'

Now there's a quote for ya.  Ok, so they keep shooting and what happens?....if nothing happens?....

No time to lose
If you were expecting your target-date retirement funds to keep your nest egg safe, you’ve been off target this year.

 Is the bear market over?  OR is it just beginning? Stay Objective and keep making money in this market; that is the key.  ShepWave has had its most profitable year ever trading over the past year. And, things may just now be 'heating' up.

Baby boomers face three new risks over the next 20 years: Report First risk was listening to the General Media or TV Financial Pundits for Investing Advice.(LOL)

Worried about a depression? How about a 100-year bear market

The link above is an interesting article. 

Retail returns to the 1970s

Cllick the link above for an interesting article.  So, if retail returns to the 70's will the Stock market?  Most financial pundits missed the 40+% stock market move of the past year.  They continually say that the market always goes up.  ShepWave suggests extreme caution.  We have shown some very critical technical 'facts' which have occured recently which could dictate future market action.  Don't miss one of the biggest trading/investing(??) opportunities of a life time.

ShepWave Note:  No Kidding.  I always like to read what these 'financial analysts' (and I use the term loosely) were saying when the markets were at their highs.  (LOL)
