In my opinion, it is all a matter of market timing. It does not matter if it is gold, oil, or Microsoft, if you have access to good market timing signals, they will help you get in and out at a profit.

No guarantees in this business, but if they are right most of the time, you can still make $s.

There are may web sites providing them out there (search Google). Just find one that works and use it! Check out http://invetrics.com as an example.

Its Dow Jones timing signals are up 44.7% as of 6/24/09 while the Dow is up just 26% off its March lows.

Following a market timing system works!

cuz who else is going to buy financial stocks at bloated prices?

I think your best bet is just to continue to follow the news as you seem to be doing right now. There seem to be more stories of banks that were “finished” with raising capital now needing to raise more capital with more secondary offerings which does not surprise me. So even when stories are reported that Banks A, B & C are finished raising capital, this doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s over.

When will they be done, exactly? And if you know, could you keep us informed? TIA
