Is this a stock market breakout?

in General

Stocks have been showing real strength throughout this earnings season, and it does look like the bulls want to make a run at 1000 for the S&P 500.

All along, I have said stocks would end the year somewhere around that level, though I was thinking we would see one more major dip first. That still remains a distinct possibility, especially with forecasts of Dow 14,000 starting to hit Yahoo Finance.

But for now, I suggest taking a wait-and-see approach. If you’re a Dividend Superstars subscriber, your core stocks are piling up gains now. So there’s no need to go whole hog on a ton of new positions just yet.

How is one to believe what we are reading when it comes to earnings,sales, expenses…
The SEC is ineffective or perhaps colluding with all of the data a rational investor uses to make investment decisions. I don’t believe any turn around is hear or near. China is the next big lie to come into the light. All this talk of expansion… sales it is all B.S. I believe the only thing the govt. has left is lies and deception. The stock market is a scam. No over sight or penalties for ” modern accounting praticies” ie fraud! The SEC needs cleaned up the Fed needs a full I repeat full audit. Untill that happens the stock market is a suckers game. Reports cannot be trusted.
