Quick Update

Top Line: The stock market dropped hard on Friday to a new low for the move in the major indexes that we follow. This is the start of a major drop in the market. Whatever rallies the market has should be sold.

Friday's sell off seemed to be a shocker to all of those who thought Wednesday's sell off was a good "buying opportunity". To be clear, the good buying opportunities were last March when the SP500 was trading under 700, not now when the index is near 1100. After the index has rallied 50% in about six months, it's Not time to buy.

The volatility indexes we follow traded above 30 and the VIX actually closed above 30. This should be a glimpse of the future when theses indexes jump to the levels we have seen over the past year and possibly higher.

We have been out of town this weekend and it's late so we will post again on Monday evening.

I have a web site where I give advise on penny stocks and stocks under five dollars. I have many years of experience with these type of stocks . If their is anyone that is interested in these type of stocks you can check out my web site by just clicking my name. I would like to comment about futility of forecasting the stocks market. Now the question should be not trying to time a broad index like the standard and poors five hundred’ but timing a narrow sector like an exchange traded fund that tracks airlines’ steel’ coal or a single country fund. If you buy anyone of the sector funds or single country funds after they have declined by 80% from their highs or even more and than sell the funds when they have reached the point where they are just 20% below their all time highs you will have no problem beating the standard and poors five hundred index by two to one.

I have a web site where I give advise on penny stocks and stocks under five dollars. I have many years of experience with these type of stocks. If their is anyone that is interested in these type of stocks you can check out my web site by just clicking my name. I would like to take a moment to talk about low price stocks not classic penny stocks or stocks under one dollar the term most people most often think of when the word penny stock is used. The single most important thing that investors must realize about low price stocks or stocks under five dollars is this’ their are companies of really decent quality trading under five dollars’ but for every one company trading under five dollars that is of decent quality their are maybe ten of poor quality. So the really big difference between those investors that are tremendously successfull when it comes to investing in low price stocks and those investors that lose enormous amounts of money investing in stocks under five dollars’ is having a great deal of knowledge and experience when it comes to low price stocks’ or having a total lack of knowledge and experience when it comes to low price stocks. Finding quality stocks under five dollars requires a lot more research than finding a decent stock above ten dollars.
