Passing 12,000

12,000 is at the rear mirror now. INDU has been strong in the past two weeks. Even though it’s in over-bought territory, INDU has the momentum to reach higher at year end rally. The mid-term election was over, the market did not over-react to the new political landscape in Washington.

War effects

Obviously the latest development in the mideast has caused some concerns on the market. Along with other major indices, Dow Jones Industrial lost ground and it looks likely that it will retest previous low again.

Consider it a potential buying opportunity.

Year End Rally

How much will the market continue to rally? All major markets are quite extended after going straight up for almost two months.

It’s quite possible that it continues to move up, but I would sell into the strength to take some profits.
