The Morning Look
Stock Market Overview: Futures are up ahead of Thursday’s open. Stocks staged a big positive reversal on Wednesday after bouncing off their 10 day moving average line. The next level of resistance to watch is Monday’s high and the 50 DMA line. Gary’s Thoughts: We repeat…watch the 50 day. A move above does not hurt but keep…
The Closing Look
Stocks opened lower but closed higher on Wednesday after the latest round of lackluster earnings and economic data were released. Oil prices also positively reversed after the latest EIA report was released. Economic data was less than thrilling. First, February’s Flash PMI Services Index Fell to 49.8, miss estimates for 53. Then New Home sales plunged -9.2%…
Just one last note…we promise!
Lots of questions being asked so one more email: We do not believe recent lows get taken out any time soon. We know the last rally only lasted 10 days but bear market rallies usually last a multiple amount of weeks. Time and price take care of the stretched, extended and oversold conditions. Even though…
Kaltbaum on JP Morgan energy woes!
Since we are being asked: A Financial Times headline says that JP Morgan had to add $500 million to loan loss reserves because of “energy pain!” Now you know why financials have been acting horrid. They are not going to be alone. Remember, in bear markets, everything comes front and center as debt and leverage become…
Gary’s short note on markets!
February 24,2016 It’s happened again! Since it has happened again, we felt it necessary to send out the most important characteristic of a bear market. And yes, we coined this term during the last big bear market. “Bear market rallies are sharp, quick, make you feel good, suck you in and bury you soon after.”…
The Morning Look
Stock Market Overview: Futures are down ahead of Wednesday’s open as the market continues digest it’s strong rally off the Feb 11th, near term low. During that time, the benchmark S&P 500 soared nearly 7% which is not an insignificant sum. Remember, moves of that size typically happen during bear, not bull, markets. Gary’s Thoughts:…
The Closing Look
Stocks fell on Tuesday after the major indices rallied right into their declining 50 day moving average lines on Monday. This is a logical area of resistance and as we have mentioned a logical area for the market to encounter some trouble. Oil prices fell hard on Tuesday after Saudi Arabia said they do not…
The Closing Look
Stocks rallied on on Monday as the market added to last week’s gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded above the middle of it’s double bottom pattern and the next level of resistance to watch is the declining 50 day moving average line (16,654). European and Asian equity markets also rallied on Monday after oil…
Short note on another gap to the upside!
Another gap to the upside this morning and lots of questions. Let us repeat our thoughts. We are now in rally mode of unknown price and time. We came to this conclusion because of the “sold out” action we again saw on Feb 11-12. We have seen these rallies before. All have failed miserably. Will this…
