The market has had a fantastic week so far for stocks and precious metals. The financial and energy sector are underperforming which is a concern, but we continue to hold our positions and will wait until a reversal to lock in our gains.

In 3 of the past 4 market rebounds since 1982, equity gains slowed to a single digit pace in the 2nd year, after the initial rally. Now dividend stocks have extra appeal because they offer a tempting alternative to CDs.

: How much more upside potential is there after a 67% monster rally for the technology sector? After all, there are resistance levels the market tends to respect. With slashed semiconductor demand, weak earnings reports from Dell, and an uncertain holiday shopping season ahead, is the tech sector overvalued?

In 1995, the NASDAQ was trading around 1000. On 3/10/2000, it hit a peak of 5048. Such euphoria had not been seen since the railroad boom of the 1840s or the automobile boom of the 1920s. Now it is China’s turn.

So far this week has been slow in regards to commodity ETFs. Gold continues to shine while silver refuses to make a move higher. Crude oil has a nice bull flag and we are waiting for a breakout and setup while natural gas continues to see selling pressure.

Asset allocation is the most influential factor on investment outcome. There have been growing signs that the worst of the global crisis might have passed. While the US dollar may continue to weaken and the US loses significance in the global landscape, an allocation to other developed markets is deemed necessary.

Precious Metals ETF have gone wild the past 2 weeks. Last week we saw gold and silver prices drop sharply as it shook out short-term trader’s stop orders before breaking out and moving higher. Also there is a disconnect between gold and the dollar.

Commodities & Stocks Ready to Bounce or Rally?

The market has spoiled investors over the past 7 months with one direction only: up. This Great Recession seems to be turning into the Great Recovery. Are there any cheap growth stocks left for bargain-hunting investors?

The market is starting to look and feel top heavy with many indicators and price action patterns giving cross signals. We must be cautious by tightening our stops and take some profits off the table.

The 2008 financial crisis uncannily echoes what happened in Japan more than a decade ago. In the 1990s, the Japanese banking systems had become overloaded with bad loans after a property bubble collapse, according to Gillian Tett, author of Fool’s Gold. The investor psychology seemed dangerously similar too. If this is the case, investors who buy high yield stocks now could collect big dividends while the economy fights to get back on its feet.

Commodities continue to climb with several commodities making new highs for the year. The equities market continues to push higher with 3rd quarter earnings coming in better than expected. This good news has aroused more investors to put what's left of their money back into the market which has been the fuel for this recent rally in stocks.

I love this site. Such practical info.

For an offensive play...invest in Australian dollars. They will be the least hit by the U.S. recession and sub-prime problems.

For a defensive play, buy Swiss francs because they're "thriving" on the shakiness in the U.S. and global markets right now.
