    My guess is that it will rally early in the year maybe to 5700-5800, then down into August to October to probably below 5400, then up into the end of the year to ? 5500 to 5600 so my guess is its going to end flat either a small gain or a small loss. +/- 2%

    eventhough theres talk about rate cuts, they probably won't be on the agenda until the latter half of 2006 and hence the catalyst for the rally

    Deemy- on what are you basing your predictions ? what will cause the market to rally early in the year? Are they guesses or do you know something we dont?

    You should try to read the post before replying ;)

    I did say GUESS TWICE !!!!

    And NO - No one can predict the future !

    But you CAN take an educated guess ;) which was posted in the spirit of the OP's request.

    Yeh my guess is for 5700 to 5800 probably by mid march. so far it seems to be on track for that GUESS !

    So stay long until theirs a sell signal.

    Before you ask whats a sell signal ?

    Well for me it would be a sustained fall through the 50 SMA on the FTSE, coming off a high MACD reading with negative divergence on the MACD histogram and similar sells on other indicies as confirmation, which initially would target a 100% move from the high to the 50 SMA break i.e. your half way to the next sell signal which would be a break of the t-line from the 2003 LOW, which has contained downtrends on 3 prior occasions (including oct 05) and implies that the fourth attack will break it, though offcourse it needs to occur for that second sell signal i.e. no pre-emptive action.

    Is that a guess, then ?
    Not even wrong

    No their signals to act upon, mechanically.... don't know when and at what price they will occur until they occur, do you understand the difference ? :confused:

    You should try and answer the question when replying!

    I take it from your reply you dont know anything we dont, and therefore I wont act on your "guesses". Cash for me next year! :xmassign:

    Well that depends on what you know since I'm not a mind reader, I can't go through all the variables involved from the rising trend line channel along which the market is moving to declining inflationary pressures that imply lower interest rates, to the impact of being in the 2nd year of the presidential cycle which is usually bearish for the stock market etc.

    So I can't know what you know to say what it is that I know that you don't know, other than that I have no crystal ball :p

    Having consulted my tealeaves, and looked at the seaweed, I have got a feeling that.... I haven't got a clue!
    Survivor of debt, redundancy, endowment scams, share crashes, sky-high inflation, lousy financial advice, and multiple house price booms. Comfortably retired after learning to back my own judgement.
    This is not advice - hopefully it's common sense..
  • Havent got a clue what Deemy is on about but am gonna have to thank him for it anyway. :snow_laug
