same thing every year

Every year about January I make a resolution to load up during the October low. Every year the market looks so bad Oct Nov that I dont - and miss out on the main annual rally.

Its a yawn I suppose and about 7 weeks too late but a whole lot of stocks broke out or suddenly looked like New Year runners from yesterday, mostly the overseas exposed ones. NCP. RIO. BHP. AMP. Also WES. Even CSL. Plus a few hot midcaps.

The XJO itself and the banks remain unimpressive. But I suppose they'll follow the pack. All bear rally stuff imo.
