Indicators We Are Watching: Caution Flags Keep Rising

January 19, 2010 8:55 am

There were many factors that raised some flags last week. On top of those it appears that investors are looking for some very impressive earnings results, and have been dissapointed.

We are seeing a trend for stocks to be bid up handsomely before the earnings release, only to see some of the froth blown off once the numbers are revealed. Of course the currency devaluation in Venezuela and the concerns about Greece are not helping raise investor’s spirits. With all of that, it still appears that the uptrend may be vulnerable for a pullback.

    Everyone, including Professor Nouriel Roubini, has been predicting a pullback for months. As a result, I have stayed out of the market as my friends have made a killing.

    Just goes to show that the market is not intelligent. If anyone could have predicted an imminent pullback ,it would have been Nouriel. Everyone is just guessing.

    With young inexperienced "analysts" on Wall Street making an average $400,000 this year, young people right out of IVY social science classes who couldn't find their way to their pajamas without help, there truly is no justice in the world for kids born in Cleveland whose parents have no connections on Wall Street.
