In a couple of earlier posts, I mentioned that I believe the bull market we are experiencing is a cyclical bull market and that we are actually still caught in a secular bear market. This means that the previous high set in the markets would not be bested. So, we have to be careful once markets start testing those old highs. A quick check against the charts would tell us that we are nowhere near those highs yet.
However, since the lows of March 2009, the markets have recovered tremendously. The much anticipated correction has been elusive thus far but it will come and it is only a matter of time. In such a correction, it would be an opportune time to load up on quality stocks for the next leg up.
I would advise anyone who would like to make some money in the stock market to start drawing up a list of stocks which he or she would like to own for the rest of the cyclical bull. Then, load up during the correction. Buy on weakness.
We should not be overly bullish or bearish. We should not be stubbornly holding on to any position. I believe in being a pragmatist. Good luck!
