US stock market has not given this clear signal for a major bull market since 1999 for Y2K stampede.
There was tremendous fear back then as to what will happen to all computers because of famous four digits 2000.....
Lot of selling took place as all computers were facing imminent problems due to 1999 turning into 2000...midnight was feared the most on the eve of Y2K....
As we all know that it was the biggest bull run which took place in whole 1999 many stocks went into valuation which made no sense, NO SALES ZERO HOPE for profit all valuations were based on eyeballs.
Most were technology companies....many went bust many survived...
NOW
Due to COVID-19 many industries or sectors came to a full stop like ZERO business like cruise lines...many business went to 10% of business in shutdown around the world like Airlines, Casinos, Hotels, Ride Sharing....
This was a horrendous drop in business for many many Industries.....
SO...NOW we are getting back to normalcy in all of those above mentioned Industries.....
SO from major losses and raised financing to survive....these industries are going to be profitable from NOW to 2nd half of 2022.....
This slow improvement in profitability will show in major averages going forward.....
All major averages have already made series of new highs, those were the result of most Technology companies became mega success story of @ home trend.....
NOW the trend is reversing.....technology is taking a back seat while restart economy stocks will be in vogue for many years.....
Rethink your strategy and allocate appropriately....
Good luck with your own comfort level!
I am away for 1 week to meet my mother in Michigan USA, hopefully Stocktrader1996 will update his thought, strategy and trades under message of this page. His rationale for all buys & sell is based on solid research and timing. Have know him since heady days of Yahoo message boards which was bigger than current well advertised wallstreet page / message board...those were the days of 1996...thus his handle reflects that!

About market, TAPE closed mixed but made new all time highs in DOW, S&P 500 and Nasdaq either on a closing basis or intraday basis. Internals were mixed. After hours earnings report were mostly negative but since it is a powerful bull market, effect of bad earnings does not last long, they always see silver lining somewhere. It is about jobs report @ 830 AM, it should be better than expected which should change gloom into happy hour again.

About market, TAPE ignored all the noise about upcoming Fed policy decision on Wednesday @ 2 PM and closed near high of the day and @ new all time highs in DOW, S&P 500 & Nasdaq. Fed policy statement will be the biggest non-event as everything is known even all the steps of how when & how many interest rate hikes in 2022 which is 2 hikes which will bring Fed funds rate to a sky high .75% which this entire universe wishes for. Friday's job report may be a better indicator of how many Americans are willing to work for wages.

About market, TAPE surprised many by closing near high of the day, DOW, S&P 500, Nasdaq closed @ new all time high. Russell 2000 jumped the most and is staring @ new all time high, talk of confirmation from every major index, it is happening. Internals were very strong. Too many skeptics and shorts being caught off guard with their simplistic theory, its Fed tapering week thus indices will collapse, guess what, it is all priced in no surprise there.
