Listen to the Machine ... Obey the Machine

Yup, that's me today as I obey the Krypto Fund trading rules. A few months ago after a beefer-induced dip in stock prices, I put on the first 1/2 of a "Buy low, Sell High" trade in US stocks in Krypto Fund's US stock position. Futures prices this AM indicate the market should open up over 1200 for the S&P 500. That's the target so I'm doing the "Sell High" now, at the open.

I'm bullish, but I like to be heavy when prices are low and light at they reach intermediate term highs. Then I ride the new wave up until it's time to cut back more. S&P 1200 has been by break point level for awhile and at that level I want to simply have normal US stock allocations. This dictates today's significant sale.

Krypto Fund is up over 11% year to date, which is fine performance, stomping on many, many overpaid beefer managers. They are mostly scam artists, anyway. Good doggie, Krypto, here's your fee - a tasty dog biscuit.

Word of the Day

"Weal" - noun [$10]
Weal means (I) welfare, prosperity, good fortune; (II - alt. usage) a raised or reddened area of skin usu. accompanied by itching.
Sentence: Why worry about investing for retirement? One should simply listen to the machine, i. e., Krypto's machine, to keep one's retirement balances in wondrous weal without anxiety. Obey the machine ....

This approach eased financial conditions in the past and, so far, looks to be effective again. Stock prices rose and long-term interest rates fell when investors began to anticipate the most recent action. Easier financial conditions will promote economic growth.

really Ben? QE has promoted economic growth ?? what a bunch of thumping tosh

more from the our esteemed central banker


And higher stock prices will boost consumer wealth and help increase confidence, which can also spur spending. Increased spending will lead to higher incomes and profits that, in a virtuous circle, will further support economic expansion.

oh, Bud, I think by next Spring the job market will be much better as will retirement accounts of the common man.

And I'll be crowing, "It's Spring in America" - the economy will be growing well

Thank you in advance, Battleship Ben.

I suppose my normal May trip to Europe will cost me more, but I'll gladly pay extra so the common man or woman can get a good job in the US.

The pound hit a nine-month high against the dollar on Thursday as the Bank of England left interest rates on hold and announced no extension to its quantitative easing programme after its policy meeting.

The move had been widely expected in the market given the recent resilience of UK economic data, in particular figures last week that showed Britain’s economy expanded twice as fast as forecast in the third quarter.





well well well............no QE in UK.............pound rising.......economy growing...............hello dr bernanke........are you listening ??????
