Bear Cave 2 (Bull Allowed)

"It’s not the strongest of the species (think “traders”) that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."
—Charles Darwin 6th Best July Since Great Depression
By Jeffrey A. Hirsch
July 2010 was hot for the market and the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted its sixth best performance since 1940. But stocks have cooled off over the last few days. With the major equity indices unable to breakthrough resistance we fear the precarious summer rally is in jeopardy.

The Last Dance
There are a number of reasons why I believe strength early in the week could lead to weakness later in the week.

So long, middle class
Dreams of average Americans dashed by taxes, higher costs and little job security
The 25 statistics below prove that the middle class is being systematically wiped out of existence in America. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer at a staggering rate.

As you all know, I like trading around events.
This week we have the U.S. non-farm payrolls and jobless rate.
Outside of Monday's first day of the month move, the job numbers are the only event worth trading this week.
The above charts gets me very excited that we may see a major move that can be played.
What worries me is that this move will be to the down side and a lot of "Not Pros" have gotten sucked back into long positions in the market over the July earnings-endorsed rally.
I will be watching the market very closely tomorrow (Thursday, August 5, 2010) going into the close to see what the "Pros" are doing in front of Friday's job number.

No Conviction
The market has traded in an extremely tight range since Monday afternoon. I would not be going out on a limb by saying we should expand that range tomorrow. I don't have a very strong feel on the market and wish I could offer more in the way of an opinion.

Thursday’s Trading – 8/5/2010
August 4th, 2010 Strong Breadth
Remember this chart that I posted in Breadth Breakout on July 22nd? (click chart to enlarge):
Clueless Kudlow
At the beginning of his CNBC show on Wednesday night, Larry Kudlow asked: “Big business is making big money, but why aren’t they creating jobs?” Kudlow doesn’t understand the very system that he advocates: wide-open free trade. Corporate America is creating jobs in places like China, India, and Mexico. As a matter of fact, Whirlpool recently sent 1,100 refrigerator-making jobs from Indiana to Mexico. What’s the problem, Kudlow? Everything is going according to plan – your dumb jobs-exporting plan.

Nothing to Celebrate
To borrow from the title of a recent New York Times op-ed by U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner:
"Welcome to the Recovery!"
