S&P 500 Down 4 days in a row ????

S&P 500 is down 4 days in a row.....

What is the technical picture of S&P 500.....

Volume was low on day 4 as selling has dried up..which is a good thing !!!

Here is the digital image of S&P 500 for last four days :

Closing High 1030.98 Thursday

Closing Low 994.75 Wednesday

Points lost <36.23>

% loss <3.5%>

This fits with normal pullback of 3% which is always anticipated......

Based on Today's close of 994.75...we are still UP 49.18% from March low of 666.79......SO...if you do nothing & sit back you are doing mighty fine.....so my cheer leading is not based on FICTION...it is the TAPE.......

RSI on S&P 500 is 47.50.....oversold reading

This is NOT a market to "over-trade"....conviction with KEY position MAY not be a bad idea....

This market HAS trended UP for last 5 months straight.......being "nervous" based on CNBC "bear drum roll" has NOT worked......

TAPE is saying that economy will get better MORE than Roubini,David Rosenberg can predict.....their S&P 500 target has been exceeded by HUGE % already and MORE to come....economists are NOT expert on market cycle.....

Make sure you ARE comfortable with your OWN due diligence & stay diversified in different sectors....

AG were strong today on many notes from analyst who are trumpeting takeovers for POT,MOS & IPI....

AH Futures are almost FLAT

AH Oil is UP 31 cents

AH Gold UP

AH Silver UP

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

Hi All,

BDI flat +1

Holiday weekend coming, traders will close positions as they won't want to be exposed for too long.

Best Regards

Hi All,

Interesting that the semi's are being nibbled on even during down market. Now retailers are getting gobbled up. Charles Schwab was telling me to buy retailers as they are the first to recover. Its a mixed bag as far as retail earnings but we're seeing some buying. Any thoughts?

Best Regards

Hi Standards,

TGT & COST were interesting play..but COST is already UP huge....

Most job loss are behind us...so people know their paycheck is secure..thus retail will be leading indicator.......

Market is much smarter than most of us.....
