Is The Stock Market Finally Ready To Fall? | Seeking Alpha



This is a very good article about why we must be cautious in today's stock market.  While large cap stocks like Apple have been able to send the market higher at times, most of the NYSE stocks are below their 200-day averages according to the $NYA200R chart.  If the economy was doing poorly, we would probably be headed for an outright bear market.



However, the economy is doing well, and stocks have a chance to move higher for at least the next year.  Since the S&P 500 is only up around 6% this year, you can expect continued meager gains unfortunately.  You should also enter stop-loss orders for your most volatile stocks so that you can sleep better at night and to protect yourself if things suddenly turn very bad.
