Is it safe to Enter the Market Now 4-13-2010, if so how to do it,

For the past 5 weeks are so, for no good reason market has been going up. At least on some of the stocks and ETF's I own, volumes are not heavy, but price is nudging up. I have reasons to believe this market is being manipulated by few biggies. I have added very small portions during dips and when possible Have done covered call(leaps) play. I.e basically sell the leaps, buy back when the stocks correct and sell the leaps when the stocks move up. This has worked very well for me. At present I have many stocks but I will list few which I am holding and add during dips.

GDX@41, sold 48 jan leaps @ 5.60 about 4 weeks back.
BUY GDX < $43.00
USD@31 ADD positions at 5% corrections. This has gone up as if
there is no tomorrow. Be cautious. If you are adding,
do small portions.
UPL@45 sold50 jan leaps @5.30. I am protected down side and
upside 20+% profit.
HAL@29.43 sold32 jan leaps @2.97

What would I buy now. I typically buy when "GRATE" stocks are going down or CCI and MACD just before cross points of the stocks I monitor.
Few day's back I bought the following. Both are relatively safe.
POT@112.78
MON 60 jan leaps@12.80

I may add TOT to collect good dividends.
