A Lot Of Green

From the moment the markets opened yesterday, it was up, up and away with the Dow hitting a new high for 2009.

Friday’s unemployment figure of 10.2% contributed in a perverse way to yesterday’s rally supporting the view that with such dire news, interest rates will have to stay low for some time to come, which bodes well for stocks.

Additional market support came from the G-20 via an agreement over the past weekend to keep the stimulus programs going. That’s all that was needed, and the major averages never looked back.

I took the opportunity early on yesterday morning to add some new positions, in essence replacing those that we were stopped out of during the last pullback. Of course, all sell stop points have been identified and will be executed when necessary.

While the stamina the market has shown is simply amazing, I have to wonder how long it can last. Since no one has the answer, we will simply follow the trend until the end when it bends.

  1. Ulli,
    A few questions regarding your tactics for reentering the market with "stopped out" money:

    1. Typically, what kicks off your decision to start reentering the market?
    2. Do you only enter into funds that have a 0.0 %DD?
    3. Assuming the trend remains positive, do you give yourself a
    a target deadline for reinvesting all of your "stopped out" money?

    Thanks,
    Paul
