Great post Stickan, thank you for posting... New bull market is so obvious and yet most ignore it and don't realize rules changed last March. Bull market rules apply... Even some of the best traders here...

Right or wrong, Stig posts quality. I've made (and ChartSmarts Subscribers have made) a lot of money from some of the things has shown us. This isn't some nobody posting drivel, folks. He knows what he's doing. That doesn't mean he has to be right, only that it's analysis worth considering. Mark

Those who ignore the BIG picture will pay a big price. Stickan's presentation gets an "A" for presentation, but a "D-" for realism. The big picture circa July 2009 is the most foreboding I have observed since becoming an adult 48 years ago. Have you ever seen any one....any country...any family... any individual...any corporation...any state/county/city government...march to prosperity by borrowing money AND SPENDING IT FOR CONSUMPTION? If yes, please site some examples. This years budget deficit is 1.8/13.85 = 13% of GDP. That is unsustainable by any historical yardstick. Next year looks no better. It is similar to you borrowing 13% more than you make and spend most of it on non-investment items or consumption. You will be in bankruptcy court very soon. There is certainly a strong BULL market coming, but it won't be in US Stocks or European stocks. It will be in the BRIC's. (Brazil, Russia, India, China). In those countries capitalism is flourishing. In US it is just the opposite. Cap and Trade will act like cancer on US corporations since China and India will never go for it. US markets will get no better than minor bull markets in the next decade. Look for Japan style stock market or worse. Just study Medicare and you will see what is coming with socialized health care. Another burden for productive people to carry. Higher taxes are coming which will diminish capital formation for sure. Have you ever seen capitalism do well with less capital?

George says dat the funnymentalists are starting to capitulate some. They are citing dat leading indicators are getting better an dat year ovr year numbers will look great toward the end of the year. Everyone knows da market is goin way down eventually, so it's goin way up to shake out da shorts. George says da market jus mit start trending up again. Bein short is the wrong position cause da trend is up unti who know when.

great work stickan. thanks for sharing. I would say though that we already had the bull trap of the centrury back in mid Aug to mid Oct 2007. That trap compared to the one now is nothing, peanuts. especially when you compare it with 2006 when we were already in a 3yr bull market. Now how many traps of the century can we have in a time span of 2years? I will stick with the one we had back then
