anyone intending to buy big at this time must have a huge appetite for risk. the opportunity was early last year. the market is starting to look overpriced and any negative event may cause people to go kamikaze..

man! i gave up last week! kwanza the financials have js gone insane! waiting for end year when the market will calm down.. hopefully! lol

Looking at the charts, I think people should start taking profits now. Volumes are falling significantly with every upturn cycle and shares are looking overpriced when you consider their PE. The rise in share price is much higher than rise in earnings. I predict this current run will be the last for a while before a significant correction, but we should still close above 4000 for the year

I do not claim that all stocks are overpriced (that is why I personally still have a hold on EQTY that I bought a November last year). What I am saying is that this rally will probably not last long especially given the way the charts are trending. I expect that as soon as more banks release the Q1 results, there will be a major correction. This correction should provide another good buying opportunity to buy in too the market for the rest of the year.

@gladiator if you have the money, your last chance to buy. Stocks have been rising since march last year. The rise is never steady but rather in spurts and bursts. If you dilly dally you end up buying at high prices which will increase chances of loses, unless if you are a reasoned trader.
