Mr. Market Makes Ready to Cripple and Maim

I’ve been rhythming a few key stocks, looking for them to hit rally targets simultaneously to signal a possible end to the bull market begun eight-and-a-half years ago. AAPL has been number one on my watchlist ever since our erstwhile bellwether, AMZN, dropped out of the race with a plunge from a targeted high at 1083.31 that seems unlikely to be recouped any time soon. Every reputable guru in the business seems to be sniffing a top here, but don’t expect Mr Market to make us all look like geniuses. Whatever he’s got in mind, it is bound to surprise everyone — even those who will turn out to have been more or less right about the Mother of All Tops.
