  1. Too much hope?

    Stocks ended last week on a positive note as the pre-holiday bullish bias seemed to work out. With today's Inauguration many folks are anticipating a rally based on the hope of change, but it may be too much to ask for.

    The S&P 500 did make some positive moves late last week but the chart continues to struggle to make any bullish formation stick. The S&P is in a down trend, the faster moving averages are below the slower moving averages, the attempt to make a higher high has ...

  2. Reversal, or options related?

    Stocks were hit hard yet again early Thursday, but a late rally brought the major indices back into positive territory with the small caps actually gaining 1.5% on the day.

    Granted, a small gain in the face of what stocks have been up against for the last several days is not overly impressive, but volume was much higher, which adds to the reversal day's credibility. The questions are; is the reversal on high volume legitimate, or is it options expiration related? Is this just a typical ...

  3. History doesn't repeat, but it sometimes rhymes

    Stocks were hit hard again on Wednesday as the C, S and I-funds dropped 3.3%, 4.1% and 3.6% respectively. Bonds (F-fund) were the winner again as investors looked for safety.

    Technically, the S&P 500 chart has broken down and things need to improve post-haste or it will be a quick trip down to the 740 lows made in November.

  4. 857 or bust

    Stocks were mixed yesterday as the Dow lost 25-points, the S&P500 (C-fund) and small caps (S-fund) were up, and the I-fund dropped over 2% with the help of a strong dollar.

    The S&P 500 tested the lows made in late December (857) and held so far as yesterday's low was 862. 857 is the next do or die level. If that can not hold I think the odds would rise dramatically that a test of the November lows will be in our future.

  5. Breakdown?

    Sorry, I forgot to copy this to the blog this morning...

    Stocks followed through on Friday's sell off with another round of selling yesterday. The TSP stock funds dropped between 2% and 3% and bonds saw another modest rally as the F-fund picked up 0.27%.

    The poor jobs report, which was actually in line with estimates, seems to have been a dagger in the newly bullish investors' hearts who had been buying into the recent rally. Sure, we could see an optimistic rally leading ...
