lt cap,
Yeah, it's not been since 2000 that I've seen this much
uniformity on the consensus narrative of this market: worst
indictment from heads of investment companies is that yes, the
market may seem rich in valuation, but if you look at forward pe's,
it's not. People apparently have forgotten 2000 dot-com: EMC went
from 102 to around 49. AMD was at 48, and eventually bottomed
around $3. I'm left wondering why Trump's 'intentions' are
trustworthy - he changes hit promises on a dime. Seems that
suddenly the economy is better because Yellen says the economy is
stronger. Is it? Perhaps earnings are bettr than I thought. Perhaps
analysts are recommending buying the future and not the
present.
Near market's close, I bought CIEN and sold 10 covered calls -
figure that if CSCO reports well, the sector will draft higher.
Only got about .97 cents for them. If CSCO doesn't go well, I have
some time to see what CIEN does, ane perhaps buy it back, depending
how it does. The calls are for Mar 10 stk 26. Good luck.
I see Pudzer, another Trump cabinet candidate, just fell out due
to conflicts and who knows what. And the market keeps marching
north.
When (if?) this market does crash, it reminds me of an old joke:
An investor jumps off a 100 story building. As he passes the 50th
floor, a man at the window asks how he's doing. "So far, so
good."
