Leave no doubt, the end of the year combined with a Fed that will never ever ever raise rates…and we get juiced off support for many major indices at the all-important 50 day average. Massive sell mode has again turned into massive buy mode as the Fed teases raising of rates but never does. We…
Less is better! Markets remain under distribution. Rallies are sold off on an intraday basis. The NDX was really weak on Monday. Breakouts have been failing like the NY Knicks basketball team. Loads of external negative news from around the globe. A crash in energy prices is now being seen as more negative than positive…
We have told you for quite a while that the biggest bubble in history is the bond market. Central banks have spent trillions to keep rates down. To their credit, it has worked. But the final outcome? Remember, all bubbles eventually pop…and they pop when everyone is on one side of the trade. We are…
Forget the fact that Feinstein, Pelosi and many other Dems on committees knew about enhanced techniques on terrorists. Forget the argument on whether enhanced techniques were right or wrong. Forget the utter hypocrisy on capturing terrorists and then using enhanced interrogation techniques equals bad but blowing the terrorists up with hellfire missiles along with the…
We came into yesterday thinking a pullback was at hand. At 10 am, we were not so sure. But the reversal and this morning’s open simply tells us things are getting a little tougher in and around these levels. To be brief, pullbacks are a normal part of the process. They don’t have to lead…
Yesterday’s action showed markets are now in pullback mode. Recent highs could not be taken out with sellers now overtaking buyers. The worst areas are being crushed while the best areas are now pulling back. Shorter-term support levels have been taken out but again, just a pullback right now. Pullbacks are a normal course of…
Beats the heck out of me what happens Wednesday but when : The nasdaq is down 70 early and finishes up 25… The dow is down 222 early and finishes only down 51… The lagging Russell, for a change…is up almost 2%… It usually means market already putting a line in the sand after a…
Except for two teases to the upside, we have been bearish on GOLD almost since the highs more than 3 years ago. We are still not bullish. But we have now taken a neutral stance as we think there is a chance a firm low has been put in. A break of recent lows would…
More of the same. Commodity areas crushed. In fact, energy continues its crash. Yes…that is a slow moving crash. BUT…after the CENTRAL BANK-INDUCED climax low, we are finally starting to see some decent amounts of distribution. As we have stated, markets were stretched, extended and overbought combined with a massive dose of bullishness. This usually…
For 5 years, we have been telling you the economy was just ok. We have been telling you we will go back and forth from decent quarter to a blah quarter. Well, after $13 trillion of printed money, zero percent interest rates and $7 trillion of new debt…combined with the latest moves by Japan, Europe and China…maybe…
