After 4 weeks of consecutive increases, most major market indexes are beginning to get closer to the noteworthy technical indicator of 200 day moving average, with the Nasdaq and small-cap indexes leading the rally. Earnings season will pick up momentum from this week onwards. That will influence the market direction. Nonetheless, the market tenor has become quite bullish. With a major gain over the past four weeks, it is only a matter of time before the market retreats and consolidates, which won't be a negative. Chinese stocks particularly have been quite active and have performed strongly as a group, as confidence grows in China's economy stabilizing by around mid-year. Our Aggressive Growth Portfolio surged this past week, and is up over 11% YTD, after a 60% gain last year. We remain fully invested in our various portfolios. Graycell Advisors View Archive...

But this philosophy is one of the hardest things to learn and practice in the investment process. In the near-daily pursuit of best possible returns and the heat-of-the-moment investment decisions, investors often willfully or unwittingly disregard the most common rules of investing.
Maximizing Returns and Minimizing Losses can occur only if investors follow an investment system. Once they gain confidence in the system, investors need to have the discipline to operate within the rules of the system. This is easier said than done.
