Making Sense of the Markets
It has been a couple of months since I have commented on the markets. I have trying to make sense of it all in the context of the Middle East "revolutions" and the horrible events in Japan. Basically the market has pretty much ignored all these events. The chart above took a dive with the events in Japan, but the sell off was less than 5% and we have now rebounded strongly. The forces of cheap money and economic recovery are more important to the stock market and corporate profits.
Meanwhile, we have kept our accounts fully invested in response to our technical indicators and the principle that we should not fight the FED. We have reduced overseas exposure somewhat as we think that the geopolitical events will have a negative effect overseas.
