Finally bought my next round of stocks today. Now it's just a matter of watching what happens with them throughout the year. Here's hoping they grow as well as pay me a dividend.

Investing and day trading shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

Maybe so but I am firm believer in being an active investor, meaning follow your investments diligently, which can lead to daytrading...

No. Sorry, it doesn't. If that's what you think is investing then you just don't know anything about investing.

I loved Art Cashen's statement this morning about INFLATION:

He says that banks have enormous balance sheets because they aren't lending... and if they aren't lending people and businesses aren't spending if people and businesses aren't spending then that's why we don't have any inflation!

When you think about your house going sky high a few years ago - it was why? Because the easy money let everybody buy a house -- and they went thru the roof price wise... there was no value there - it was just pure inflationary pressures.

Individuals REPAIR their own balance sheets by NOT spending, saving more, investing... growing their top line (income) and trimming expenses. While it might not "FEEL" as good as the paper gain of their house going up 100K a year.. in the long run it's far more healthy. Saving and investing is REAL cash -- paper is just that -- paper.

Full time daytrader for 10 years, so I may know something, not everything...

Interesting data (evidence?) that there was some money sitting on the sidelines waiting to be invested.

+++++++++++

Equity funds have this week seen the strongest inflows for more than five years as global shares surged and a compromise deal on the US fiscal cliff boosted investor confidence.

Net inflows into equity funds monitored by data provider EPFR hit $22.2 billion in the week to January 9th – the highest since September 2007 and the second highest since comparable data began in 1996. Emerging market and world funds, which had record inflows, drove much of the expansion.

+++++++++++++

We've discussed before -- that like anything - in order to go UP we have to have more buyers than sellers... and when new money floods the market - they're buying. We'll see how long and how much...
