consumer confidence, consumer and corporate debt, new starts, money supply, oversold
and overbought, etc. are Wall Street’s leading market indicators for predicting
and promoting the future direction of the stock market. Stock
Market-Lite Indicators The
best and most reliable indicators for predicting the future direction of the stock
market can be found in the following personal Stock Market Top and Stock Market
Bottom, "Lite-but-Right," stock market indicators. The
more the Stock Market Top indicators are more reflective of your current investment
sentiments, the stock market is at or near the top. If, on the other hand, the
more the Stock Market Bottom indicators more accurately reflect your present feeling,
or lack of feeling, about the stock market, the stock market is at or near the
bottom. If at any time,
you are absolutely certain that all of the Stock Market Bottom indicators
are true and that none of the Stock Market Top indicators is correct, beg,
borrow, steal, margin, mortgage, and option cash and get in the market.

Don’t even say the word "Dow"

Street is hiring as many employees as it possibly can, decentralizing, and constructing
new facilities. They know what they are doing. The market is definitely going
higher. Maybe I should build a new home? |

finally know what I am doing. I actually understand the stock market. |
I finally know what I am doing.
I’ve got my paper route down perfectly. | |
I cant’ lose. |
I can’t win. |
| I
quit my career to trade the market. |
I start back to work at my new
job as soon as I finish the training classes. | |
I just buy any stock that announces
a stock split. | I
am split in half. | | I
can hardly wait until the stock market closes to see how much money I made.
| I
can hardly wait until the stock market closes to stop my losses for the day.
| | Very
big, fast car. Quick stop for the café latte. Late for work. Who cares? Go see
my broker, take a golf lesson, and then tend to business. |
The bus stop is only a mile away.
With two transfers, I can be at work in about two hours most of the time. Besides,
what’s the rush. | | The
major money is in capital gains. Stock dividends and bond interest income are
for sissies. | The
real money is in having some. My asset allocation is 50% t-bills and 50% under
the mattress. | | Mortgage
house, margin stock, and buy options. | Mortgage
nothing, margin nothing, buy food. | |
I better get in and start buying.
| I
just sold my last stock market investment. | |
Want it? Just charge it. We’ll
pay for it with the money I am going to make on my next options trade.
| Want
it? Just work for it. You pay cash for it with what is left of your second job's
paycheck after we pay the rent. | |

IPOs? I never take any shares on the

allocation, asset shmallocation! Load up on a few fliers and go for the fences! |
I don’t even by a single brand
of socks anymore. | | Bonds
are boring. Income, who needs income? The real money is in capital gains. Two
new country club memberships, more credit cards, another new car, and we should
be closing on our new home. Not a bad month. |
Capital gains, what capital gains?
A stock has to go up to have capital gains. I bought bonds with the money I had
left. The income from the bonds will keep me in my newly acquired cigarette habit
and Social Security should keep me in the trailer park. |
| What
do they do? Who cares! | What
did they do? You’ll have to look at the bankruptcy filing. |
| I
do it all on my own! | It’s
my advisor’s fault! | | I
can hardly wait to get home and look at my monthly statement to see how much money
I made last month. | I
don’t want to go home. I haven’t looked at a statement in months. Besides the
"For Sale" sign on my front lawn depresses me. | |
