• Stocks Are on a Three-Week Winning Streak, Two Major Indexes Post Five-Year Highs

  January 18, 2013 at 9:08pm

  The stock market has been in a secular bear market since 2000 defined by a trading range in the SP500 of 666 to 1535. We’re getting near the top again, and my best guess is will turn back down sometime in the Spring.

  I think the restoration of the full payroll tax, Obamas tax hikes, and the increasing costs of health care will be the catalyst or get the blame in the history books.

• Lindsey Graham: Obama ‘Won’ Fiscal Cliff Deal, and ‘Hats Off’ to Him

  I think Graham makes a good point, in that a deal has to be passed.

  Our elected leaders have to actually govern. Even if the deal isn’t 100% of what anybody wants.

  Eh, my parents just told me the truth. I think the truth is always the best policy.

• Piers Morgan: Both the Bible and U.S. Constitution Are ‘Inherently Flawed’ and Need to Be Amended

  My prediction is that long after Piers Morgan’s TV show is cancelled, the Bible will still be here.

• ‘He Has a Huge Body, He Eats Like a Pig’: Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood Explains the Average American During Amusing Interview

  It’s not the obesity that worries me as much as the national debt and the interest payments as a percentage on the debt as a percentage of our budget. Imagine if interest rates normalize to 5% and we owe $20 trillion in debt. That would be $1 trillion a year on interest payments alone.

  That’s a problem.

  Now, where are my food stamps?

• Jesus Married? Scholar Unveils Ancient Script That Allegedly Quotes Christ Referring to ‘Wife’

  Well, this definitely explains the image of Jesus kissing Mary on this grilled cheese sandwich I’m having for dinner. *stops eating, gets on ebay*

  “Shared prosperity!” Hey if the labor participation rate was lowered to 0, the unemployment rate would be 0%. Full employment!

  Heckuva job, Barack.

  Everyone waiting for the Fed or other central bankers to talk about how much more stimulus they’re going to print.

• Market Recap: Housing & Earnings List Stocks

  There’s a stock strategy to “sell in May and go away” until November. Historically, the market has performed better November-April. In Presidential election years, sometimes the market breaks its historical pattern.

  Is that what is happening in 2012? There are still a few months left in the “summer season,” but here the market is near the highs for the year. I think some folks might be throwing the towel in on “sell in May” this year.
