Friday, December 29, 2006 BULLS IN CHARGE Despite the market slipping slightly during the last 2 tradingsession of 2006, the bulls remained in charge by starting theweek on a strong note. The first crossing ever of the 12,500level for the Dow pushed the other major indexes higher aswell. For the week, the Dow rose 0.98 percent, the S&P 500 added0.54 percent and the Nasdaq inched higher by 0.71 percent. 2006 was an interesting year, to say the least. After reachingrecord levels in the spring, the domestic markets pulled backsharply during May and June. A return to bear market territoryappeared to be a distinct possibility as subsequently allinternational and country indexes tanked big time. However, the trend reversed and set the stage for animpressive second half of the year rally. The main drivingforce was investor belief that the economy had reasonably wellsurvived the Fed's rate hikes and the spiraling oil prices.The dreaded "R" word (as in recession) gave way to acceptanceof a slowing economy along with a potentially soft landing. The prognosis is for this scenario to continue, although Iwon't hold my breath. While we are still 100% invested, I amcomfortable with our defensive market posture because of theconservative nature of our holdings. This should give us alittle bit of an edge when the next pullback occurs. As time goes on, I will make some adjustments to ourportfolios, especially in the sectors, to take advantage ofunique opportunities. Happy New Year! Ulli...
