Is market going in an "overdrive mode" ?????

Friday's close near high of the day & Nasdaq high of the year close...is giving a "technical breakout"......

Momentum traders will run this market towards new highs in all Indices......

1200 area in S&P 500..looks like a "real possibility"

Markets will get "overbought" in this RUNUP.......

Currently RSI are as follows :

Dow 63.34

S&P 500 66.04

Nasdaq 69.72

In last four months Nasdaq RSI has runup to 75 area...then a major pullback......so traders should keep this in their trading strategy......other Indices barely touched 70 then pulled back.....

VIX also getting close to 52 week low which is 16.86..currently we are @ 17.42......YES..VIX could go below 16.86 ...but again monitor this closely for locking profits....

SO.....what is a good strategy now......

Consider locking profit.......

IF you are a long-term investor...then there is nothing to do.....stay in stronger stocks in diversified sectors.....some speculative stock may not be a bad idea........

It will be PRUDENT to REDUCE exposure once we cross 1160 in S&P 500.......

After every euphoric move......there is a long digestive process...could be until next "oversold" conditions arrive.....

Oversold conditions are defined as when RSI is between 35 to 45 area based on last 4 months RSI stat....

Locking profit when RSI in your stocks are @ 70 area is a "very safe strategy".....sometimes stocks do hit RSI 80 on momentum alone????

Here is my $ allocation/sector/RSI current/RSI high

APWR 31.26% AE/Wind Turbines 43.29 82.00
IAG 25.53% Gold Mining 57.47 72.00
PALM 22.42% Tech/Smartphone 20.79 68.00
SLW 20.79% Silver reseller 54.00 68.00

My portfolio has underperformed lately due to many losing position.....APWR,PALM has been subjected to major "bear attack"......it is NOT good to have 53% of portfolio going South..while market is going North.....so..i wait till they "turnaround"..Patience has become a strategy......

Please do analyze your portfolio based on any technical indicators you have expertise in......markets CAN go in the wrong direction very quickly.....there IS such a thing as overbought & oversold........
