Even if we're all a little punch drunk from the market's '08
directional changes, a close look at the tea leaves now shows a pattern
of recovery. I see the market strengthening and its bounce from the
bottom accelerating.

"Gloom is thick enough to cut with a knife," says market historian and seasonal timing expert Sy Harding, whose timing system has just triggered a new intermediate-term buy signal on stocks. Here, in his Street Smart Report, the contrarian explains why he believes we are now near a market low.
He also looks at four new ETF index positions he has established in his portfolio. "The slowdown continues. Foreclosures soar. Debt problems are spreading to corporate and credit card loans. The housing collapse co
The Nasdaq 100 is setting up for a nice charge higher. I believe downside risk remaince 3-5% but upside is 10%. Look for us to form a bottom here and rally on deeply oversold conditions and trendline support on longer term charts.

This weekend i needed to figure out just how much prices were going to correct. i needed to figure out where they'd be correcting most, and where i should advise people to place their money while the markets tanked.
i looked at the 10 year charts for the COMPQ, SPX, INDU, RUT, and the SOX. out of the 5, the SPX and the INDU are both at levels as high as they were back in 99-00 right before the markets crashed. the INDU is a bit higher. the RUT is roughly 20-25% higher than it was at the time. this is big. i suspect the RUT to be hit the hardest. the COMPQ and the SOX aren't nearly as i...
If you read my initial warning of the nasdaq a week or so ago, you could've easily avoided yesterday morning's correction. There are two things that can occur at this point. I'm sure that we'll gain a little to the upside, but in doing so we may begin a downtrending pattern on the weekly chart. this has significance because it would indicate that the equities market is going to tank hard again. when? i cannot say. One thing is for sure, i am uncertain of many things regarding the equities market. when i am uncertain, i feel much more comfortable sitting in cash. I advise people to do the sa
i think i was wrong to remove my sentiment on direction for the nasdaq so soon. i'll leave this one up as a long term sentiment. markets will probably make a short-lived come back from a technical correction, but i sense the bernanke's talks this week will mention higher interest rates. commodity prices are rising and stagflation can be seen in the local news. watch for thursday and trade with caution. bernanke is no where near the level of greenspan, but he is still our top man up there.
as i write this, physical gold i sup almost $6 in the spot. i'll be trading up and down price movement...
This morning the markets screamed bloody murder. if tomorrow is another day like this, it would be fair indication that we will see an overdue correction in the markets soon. Lots of reports coming out this week. the speech i'm waiting for is on thursday, when Bernanke addresses the House of Financial Services Commission. I am also very closely watching the price of light sweet crude because it is due for a come back soon as well. Should reports fall negative this week and oil rise, we're going to see a bigger correction, prob around 50+ to the nasdaq.

QQQQ, this tracking stock is made up of the top 100 performing non-financial stocks of the NASDAQ. We are seeing peaks not seen since '02--Im thinking "hold" as of Nov. '06. Things could pick up quite well around the holidays though. If you were smart and got in on this trust around July or August I would consider selling.
