I would say time to put in the sell orders, but I *think* the rule is she actually has to use the word in a post before the market reacts. Haven't backtested that though.

Well, we only have the one sample to go by. I think a good test would be to have everyone short the market, have W2R make the "Wh***!" post, and then we'll all collect.

But I do have to wonder if the SEC would consider that insider trading....

If you want a reliable SELL signal, here it is:

Cramer's flashing signal that the massive rally is here to stay

The only time Cramer was ever right was when he made his field bet on some of the tech companies after the tech crash. Anyone that made that bet made money. I only bought Oracle, but I made some decent money on it.

I made a decent amount of money on Oracle . I was in an investment club and one of the members recommended it when it was a no nothing stock . We rode it all the way up and then got out before the crash.

He must have been right when he built his fortune, no?

I don't watch his shows but I can get why people are down on him.

I'm thinking DOW 20k ain't happening this year and I suspect a big sell off next year.

I don't pretend to have a crystal ball but there is a part of me that suspects there will be psychological resistance to that number.

All we need is 167 points in the next two days. It could happen!

I had a gut feeling this morning before the open that we were going to hit 20K today. So much for that.

If the market keeps on going up, that's fine.

If it doesn't, I will have a couple of call options expiring worthless in Jan 2017, and I pocket the premiums. They don't make me rich, but will pay for our airfare to Paris in the upcoming trip.

Excellent, have fun!. I see that Swiss air has some first class tickets left over for their Seattle - Paris route $17,660/ea. Should be a nice trip

Maybe the Dow will hit 20,000 tomorrow. Don't know. A one day surge upwards by a mere 181 points would do it.

Still, I remember when the Dow went past 10,000 for the first time. I don't remember how long it took, but it seemed like FOREVER. It would get close, then pull back, and so on. Sort of teased us for a while.

Ummm... That takes a lot more than the premiums from my options. The tickets have actually been purchased, as reported here: http://www.early-retirement.org/foru...ml#post1805536 I have yet another option out expiring in Feb, which will pay for tickets to/from LAX.

By the way, I will get the 1st class tickets after you get those fancy French Hi-Fi speakers that I suggested.
