Hey RMI,

I did opposite what I pick the number in here and IFT out of I fund (too early) yesterday for a lost. As I expect SPY will hit $169 target soon (maybe Jobs Report will do it).

Winner...

Anyway, do you really think we are going to hit 169 before 179? wow...

You don't have to change your number, I was ribbing you... I'll let you decide

We have a winner! amoeba



And the unemployment number was correct so you have your choice of Trophies, err, Travel Mugs.

Nice job, amoeba! PM me your shipping info to claim your prize!

Thanks for playing, everyone!

And we went down down down, the ring of fire, the ring of fire, the ring of fire. Another losing day, but congrats on winning your cup.

I will not be surprised if we close up today. At least for the short term the Slow Stochastics and Bollinger Bands for SPX would suggest a continued turn upwards. However using a weekly period those same indicators suggest there is room below. My guess...and it is a guess is short term rise followed by another modest correction to continue pricing in the QE tapering.
