Spaf,

I notice you are going to make yourself some retirement money - a little or a lot extra always helps - steadfast is the rule today. You are it appears once again traveling at tree level without running lights - you must be having fun - hard to escape that old adrenalin kick. I see where the bullandbearwise index was below 40 recently - that is wonderful - takes me back to the April '05 lows. I read over the weekend where someone said "I find the small investor level of shorting which is now three times higher than at the October 2002 lows simply stunning, considering that the NYSE was testing all time highs just last month." Take care.

The S&P 500 is still below the uptrend line drawn from the April low, but it has managed to close for another day above the low reached last week. A close above 1196 will be bullish and, of course, a close above the 200-dayat 1199 will constitute an upside breakout capable of sparking a sustained move.

While the S&P 500 commercial hedger net position is still short, it is close to equaling the smallest short position of the last five years, the one reached in January 2004.S&P 500 and Mini Contracts, Weighted Commitments of Traders

The Technician,

The Nikkei 225 is already up over 224 points - hope you can stay awhile. It's time to ride the train - sit back and relax. Don't resist the temptation of profit motive.
