For the past few months, global energy prices (mainly, crude oil and gasoline) have imploded, and have each entered their own secular bear markets. The most common…
Buy me 10,000- or whatever. If it goes up 1 point, buy more. If it goes up another point, call me. If it goes down 2 points, sell it. This sane, simple advice- unload losers, ride winners- became a source of enduring mystery for me: Why didn’t more investors embrace it? And why did so many…do just the opposite
The jobs report is extremely important, especially now, because in October 2009, the unemployment rate surged to a 26-year high of 10.2%!

It is also important to note that the major averages are rallying up to an area where they encountered resistance several times in recent weeks and they are still below their longer term 200 DMA lines. That said, we can not argue with the tape and the bulls deserve the bullish benefit of the doubt until this “breakout” is negated. Trade accordingly.
