The DJIA is up 4.5% in 2012.
Yeah, I've been waiting for the Dow to "correct" downward for about six weeks to move some money into mutual funds.
Still waiting ...

Yep, luck o' the Irish. Actually, I'm looking for a longer term drop ... maybe over 1-3 weeks, back to ~11000.

Back to 11,000?

Ouch!

I've been trying to sort out the impact the November election might have.

We know the MSM back Obama.

Thus, bad economic news will be ignored or camouflaged, and good economic news will be highlighted.

For instance, CNBC.com on Friday.

Oil hit $110, but the CNBC headline was the SP 500 hit a three year high.

New home sales hit a record low, but the CNBC headline was that home builders have new optimism.

I don't think the MSM has the power to make the market go up in bad times.

But I do think it might be very dangerous to short stocks before November.
