Your broker doesn't allow pre-market trading? If only well connected players can SELL (short) Nike before the open, then presumably only well connected players can BUY Nike before the open? So the well connected seller is trying to sell (short) to a well connected buyer. Edge - zero (and it isn't reality).

In reality, the well informed small investor has a big edge over the large investor b/c liquidity isn't an issue (i.e., it's easier to sell 200 shares of NKE pre-open than 200k shares).

S&P is at 2808. I had predicted 2811 by June 16. If it hits 2811 today or even this week, that is months ahead of my prediction. Usually, I get the number right, but get the timing wrong. My timing is still off, but at least it is closer to hitting the target sooner than later.

My upside target is 2931. It would be nice if it hits that target sooner than later!

S&P currently stands at about 2770. There is still some upside remaining, but the big run up might be over. However, if this bull market lasts longer than 6 months and runs through September then there is still another 150 points to the upside to be captured.

I don't have a good probability estimate to the downside, but the old 80/20 rule might apply. There is an 80% chance SP moves higher by June and only a 20% it is lower, black swans notwithstanding.

Last September the SP was over 2900. So it wouldn't be a stretch to see 2900 this year -- especially given the strong upward pointing momentum signals in December and January.

SP closed at 2803 on Friday. Hitting the 2811 target seems probable.

Below is an edited version of what I posted back on January 16.

My prediction was S&P 2811 by June 15, 2019. It is at 2811 today. Who knows what the next three months hold, but I'm staying long until I get a sell signal.

Check back here in 6 months. I estimate that the SP will rise by at least 15% by June 15, 2019.

...

So I'm looking at a target for the SP of at least 2811 -- up 15% from December 26's close, but more likely 2931 based on the close of January 7, 2019.

The following indicator is why I am so bullish:

On January 7, the NYSE Advancing Stocks to Declining Stocks ratio over a 10 day period was greater than 2-1. That is a huge buy signal based on momentum. It has only happened twice since 1993. It happened in March of 2009 at the bottom of the financial crisis when interest rates dropped and the Fed started QE. It happened in July 2016 when everyone thought Hillary was a lock to win the presidency -- investors saw stability in that not much would change from the Obama presidency.

There was also another strong indicator on December 26, 2018 when the NYSE Advancing volume to declining volume ratio was greater than 9-1 -- it hit 24-1. It takes a lot of buying to get to that ratio. Money is flooding into the market.

...the market should do well over the next 6 months.

Have not gotten any sell signals from my model. Finally broke through the 2811 low-side target I set for the S&P. Hope to see the high-side target of 2900+ by June.

It will get there and through 2,900 a lot sooner than June, highnote, I believe.

Powerful news on the business front today and the market reacted accordingly. I actually think today was a buy signal for a very strong near- and long-term up market.

I am not a charts guy but markets and the economy are cooking and with the rest of the world going nowhere, the USA will be the only place for money to go to.

Agreed. Economy seems much improved. Restaurants were filled in NYC this week and they're fairly pricey since the last time I spent much time there. Lots of people out and about. People have money and are spending it.

I'm not disagreeing at all the economy is better. But the malls? Around here they are empty. They weren't even that crowded at Christmas. Amazon. Plain and simple.

So this is a stock market prediction thread....and I'll go out on limb and make prediction for monday...3/25....the market over-all tanks....100 points or more....

why....there's no news or nothing in the wind?....well there is one SMALL interesting fact....the extreme short term % rates are ACTUALLY lower than say a 3 year rate...on bonds....which is RARE....

https://www.treasury.gov/resource-ce...spx?data=yield
