Will the US stock market follow up Friday's gains with more gains next week, or was this a head fake?

the market doesn't move in a straight line there will be a bounce. traders think the market is oversold so there should be an array of buying oppoptunities. Spyders might be a good short term play this week. Symbol- SPY

Here's a little something I've learned about Cramer. When he pushes a stock, the next day in the first 1/2 hr, the stock goes up. To make money off of his hype, get ready to short it.

What you are hoping to capture by buying a calendar spread is the decay of the first expiring option relative to the decay of the second. Read "Options as a Strategic Investment".\n\nA short term option loses its time value faster than a longer term option. So, if the decay on the longer is a penny a day...and the decay on the shorter option is 1/8 a day...you are capturing 11 1/2cents per day and protecting yourself in case of a big market move. Is it a given that you'll make money??? Absolutely not. Every time you think that, think to yourself "there are a million other people out there that have thot about this for at least 25 years...chances are I am not thinking anything original" !

Well all the indicators clearly show we are in a cyclical bull market, and we are testing new floors which are consistently higher than the previous.\n\nCertainly those who are treating this as a bull market are gaining, while those who are treating it as a bear market are losing. This does not stop the bad news bears talking down the market, because they need this to recover.\n\nSo having said that and understanding that objectively we can prove we are in a market that is currently growing. The question which is more subjective I guess is, is it growing fast enough? This debate will still be dogged with partisan pitches and probably is irrelevent.\n\nBottom line, right now is that with the inidicators where they are, a diversified investment into the US markets (and so economy) is going to yield positive returns, with I think the S&P comfortably capable of hitting 1400 in the first half of this year.

Doubt it. It is rated as one of the lowest stocks according to investors.com. LOOK is not profitable and has been dropping the last 5 yrs. \n\nIn the last 17 trading days, there has been 10 down days on higher than average volume. This shows weakness in the stock.\n\nIt would be more of a gamble to hold the stock. There are a lot of better stocks out there.\n\nI would dump and put my money in something else.

Yes, I read in the WSJ that there will be one coming soon.  Unfortunately, it will be too inflated initially to get in.  I suggest you hold off -

I'm not here to encourage or dissuade you from Motley Fool,I'll just give you my opinion.\n\n Motley Fool is 1 of the most "forward" investment advisor forums on the net.Mind you,this isn't good or bad.That depends upon your investment/trading style.For the day-trader, the Fool is useless;except for the "buzz" it generates.For Investing; you'd do better by following the advice of an FA, and work on what they recommend.\n GOOD LUCK

Here is my day trading tip.  Don't do it.  It is a good way to loose money.  Try investing instead.  Select solid companies with good prospects.

Bullish! of course summer dull drums is coming up.  I think now is the best of times because the market is anticipating the Fed not raising rates much above 5.25.  Growth is still going to be running in the double digits this year.  I can not wait for the Santa clause rally at the end of the year.  Last year was kinda lame.  BooYA!

Look at their Earnings.  If earnings are going up per quarter/year, then the stock will also go up, regardless of the bumps.  Other good signs is if insiders are buying alot or if they just came out with a good product.  I bought Disney stock the weekend before "Cars" came out.  Also pay attention to the news.  Military stocks went up after we invaded Iraq.

It sure can be. Ive studied it off and on for awhile. Lots of different angles to using the stock market. Depends on the person. \n\nGet a few books, study up on the angles that particular person used and how it worked for them. Figure out what you feel comfy with.

The stock is still in a strong downward trend.\n\nIf you observe on the chart, you will notice 2 trend lines, one is still showing a strong downward trend and the other acting as a strong resistance.\n\nI suggest buying when both trend intersacts and purchase at that price, or you can drop me a mail if you require further analysis.

Try this company called CTLM. They are expected to go up big next week, and at the very least, they won't lose money.\nAnother stock I really like is TRFX--they are a stable company and bounce around 5 and 5.50, so see if you can get them at five and then hope they end your 5 weeks near 5.50\nOne word of advise--buy things that aren't 10,000 dollars a share and all that because with only 30k you can't get very many shares of big companies. Try to stick with stuff under 40 bucks a share.\nNow if you wanna' be really safe and not make or lose money, then listen to the other peeps suggestions like hotels, nike, etc. \nIf you wanna win on the other hand, try goin with stuff that is unexpected. Every dork in your class is gonna take Wal*Mart, adidas, etc.  So try something new and origional!
