I have tried to do a guesstimate of what I think COULD happen to stocks over the rest of the year. As you know I think we have seen the lows for this cycle and stocks have simply now moved back into the trading range we've experienced since last fall. I think that range is likely to hold for the foreseeable future-meaning we could be not much higher than were we are now by summer's end. I think the end result of that is a market that has an explosive move to the upside sometime in the fall. I think all things being equal we could see the S*P 500 moving back to 1,000-1,100 by years end.
I think this could be a very good trading market for the next 3-6 months and a good market for certain sectors during this time. We'll discuss those sectors at some point in the future.
Remember this is a guess! For all I know we could plunge next week (on new unexpected bad news) or we might blast off much sooner than I'm looking for! I'm simply throwing out from a money flow perspective what I think is likely to happen and what I think probability is dictating at this time. It is also a scenario we're incorporating into the Game plan.
