Dow fighting back to regain 50 DMA????

All indices have reversed their technical picture @ close....

Indices @ close are in good health technically speaking..all major index are above 50 DMA...

Volume was above average on this strong bounce......

Most traders/technicians were left wondering as to where this rally came from......all severe corrections do end abruptly when nobody is expecting it......

RSI has been a good indicator of overbought/oversold conditions...which assist me in decision making...

Solar stocks came to life despite drubbing taken by FSLR..which is a sign of solar turnaround....

Many stocks were UP double digits.......which said a lot about severe oversold conditions/short covering.....

AH futures are down

AH Nikkei UP 1.12%

As expected VIX took a drubbing today Down 11.29% closing @ 24.76...

Nasdaq Down 5.98% already.....

All Indices are under extreme selling pressure with Nasdaq being down 5.98% followed by S&P 500 down 5.33% while Dow down 3.53%........

RSI are in deep oversold area in all indices.... S&P 500 41.23,Nasdaq 37.56 Dow 46.62

VIX jumped 12.4% to close @ 27.91...suggesting technical bounce???

Internals of Nasdaq was terrible with new 52 week low higher 33 than highs 10..

Last June correction Indices went down almost 9%.......

So it is becoming a popular sports as to predict how low indices will go....

What I do is look for an attractive entry point in stocks which i have monitored closely...IF the price is right...I am buying...which I did today......generally I do NOT get the low of the day which you can see with all my posted purchases......

I do change strategy based on my personal interpretation of how to position in any given market @ any given moment...NO i do not follow any pundit and do NOT factor their opinion which is always presented in a filtered manner means take the truth out but focus on that they are always correct in their assessment...facts do not support their "implied accuracy"

SO...why are the markets in downward slope...many reasons are there, First we came UP sharply since early July...so a pullback was more than overdue.......secondly there is data which is mixed @ best which gives another reason to sell or lock huge profit.......

YES...this correction will be over also like many other corrections......

In my portfolio :

Bought HL @ $3.96

Bought PIR @ $3.50

Bought TSL @ $32.07

Nasdaq has broken down technically..NOT good @ all...

Nasdaq is leading all the indices lower & has broken down technically......Nasdaq 50 DMA is 2089.50 and we already have traded as low as 2081.73..well below 50 DMA

S&P 500 also traded below 50 DMA which is @ 1050.49..also traded @ 1049.62...

Dow is the ONLY one which IS trading above 50 DMA of 9699..lowest trade so far is 9817.02..

RSI picture is also negative as they have gone below the usual trading range of last four months as they are listed below :

S&P 44.54

Nasdaq 41.30

Dow 50.31.....only one within range

Based on the above scenario...UNLESS we close above 50 DMA on good volume...market IS in technical trouble & MAY take us lot LOWER than what we are ready for????

RAISING cash MAY not be a bad idea ASAP........

Dow & S&P 500 UP......NICE !!!!

Every pundit on the face of earth was predicting "collapse" of this market yesterday....BUT thanks to all "know all pundits" we are UP in Dow & S&P 500......the more they talk they are proving over & over that they have "no clue what they are talking about"

All doomsters are coming up with new & improved targets on the downside...David Rosenberg who predicted 840 in S& P 500 by end of October has now announced that market is 20% overvalued...so we have four trading days left for his first CNBC prediction & God knows what is his time frame on new & improved downside target.....

Even Jimmy the Cramer is trying for the third time to talk the market down...he also fails each time and never "own his bad calls about markets"

Roubini is still talking which has NOT come to fruition missing touchdown by 100 yards...has opinion on market,gold ,dollar but never gets it right????

Pessimism @ peak..sign of a turnaround ???

S&P 500 is down 3.12% from 09 high BUT if you pay attention to all commentators you will THINK we must have PLUNGED 20% to be so afraid of this market.....as usual all pundits are trying to "talk the market DOWN to justify their short or bearish position"

RSI in S&P 500 is @ 49.96...generally we turn UP @ 48 area @ close...so we must be NEAR or @ bottom of this pullback...even VIX jumped to 24.31 or a jump of 9.16%...even this fear index is showing sign of a "turnaround"

IF I were you I will pay close attention to "turnaround Tuesday by closing time"...

When everybody is so sure we are gone down ..we generally get a bottom...

AH BIDU plunged $56.98 on outlook......

AH LULU UP 6.38% on higher guidance....

See..... it IS a stock pickers market from now on.....

Where do we go from here in Indices????

After making series of new 09 HIGHS market took a breather.....indices are acting very jittery one day UP & next day DOWN......

Most of the ER are out and has given lift to the markets....markets are trying to figure out what is the next catalyst???

There may be a lull in the markets for next few weeks then Q4 excitement will take hold again...

Based on Friday's close @1079.60 in S&P 500..we have given back 22.16 points or 2.01% from 09 high.....we may give back another 3% or so before we get a solid support.......1040 area looks like support zone....RSI is 55.26.....in between buy & sell.....

Individual stocks will continue to outperform based on news while others lag or stay down..so now it will become stock picker's market....

I strongly suggest to keep booking profit as they come as getting greedy may not be a good idea @ this stage in markets.......

It will also be unwise to stay out of the market as we will eventually go much higher......

A reduced exposure is what I have done since AAPL ER....I am only 65% invested.....

Here is my $ allocation as of Friday's close :

RIMM 39.52% Tech/Smartphone
AUY 14.43% Gold producer
GNK 13.20% Bulk Dry shipping
BAC 12.89% Bank/Financial
MRVL 13.00% Tech/Supplier to PC & Smartphone
COMS 6.96% Tech/Networking

As you can see that I am diversified in many sectors which reduces downside risk.....

Your comfort level needs to be HIGH @ this stage as CNBC & other media do capitalize with negative bias...it is all about rating/sales..negative slant grips most people....

Economy is on the mend but lot of good news is priced IN.....new sectors may take the leadership role..so keep an eye when stocks move UP.....

PS....I am using windows 7..which is a super operating system HUGE improvement over Vista..MSFT has a runaway winner on hand......I have adjusted the text a touch bigger for easier reading....

My health is also improving thanks to many well wishers..slowly gaining weight also...hopefully another week should bring me back in good health...just finished my two antibiotics this Friday AM.....

.5% to 1.22% pullback on profit taking.....

All three Indices were down @ close from .5% to 1.22%.....

Lot of traders took profit when we did not go through 1100 in S&P 500......Also Nasdaq failed to make new highs on major ER beat..so selling steps IN......

I personally feel that market will found support based on buying interest which IS still "alive & well"...can you imagine the close IF there was no buying interest???

VIX is back to 22.27 UP 7.64%..so it is swinging 6%+

1.8% REVERSAL in S&P 500 ?????

Today's close is NOT good technically......from making new 09 HIGHS to reverse all the gains & close near low of the day???

S&P 500 saw a reversal of 1.8% @ close????

Lot of reasons are being given from Fed Beige book to Dick Bove sell rating on WFC...BUT we have to accept the verdict of the TAPE which was a very WEAK close......

TAPE is always correct in defining the day..it needs NO reason......

As we ARE elevated a CAUTIOUS trading approach IS PRUDENT.....like quick trades & locking all profit... as i am doing for a while......

Small giveback in Indices despite bad economic news !!!!

Housing data was bad BUT indices were NOT interested in going too far down???

TAPE is telling me that there is more UP move coming up...until TAPE gets weak..I am staying put with my rotating trades.......

I know it is extremely hard to follow the TAPE when everyone is glued to CNBC with their exaggerated analysis/noise on a daily basis????

Yes .....most of the Fast Panic Money panel is extremely "fearful & bearish"...but they represent an overwhelming majority of pessimist which is a "contrary" indicator.....@ least to me.....

Market internals were much WEAKER than close..more like 3 to 1 on the downside....BUT that was expected considering bad housing data....

AH SNDK ER was a blowout UP 10.2% AH

Where are we heading in Indices ?????

Markets have come a long way since the doomsday scenario of March 09......

Markets have climbed wall of worry since March.....

Markets have "crushed" bears & doubters of this rally........

More & more technicians are getting scared of this market & have been WRONG for several months.....most technicians & pundits have missed last 9% of this rally & have lost tremendous amount of money "shorting" this market since July......?????

It is not difficult to read the TAPE and KNOW the direction of this market...which HAS been UP...

BUT...many traders/technicians/pundits are trying desperately to "tell the markets what to do"...never happens..market does what it wants to do always !!!!

Fighting this TAPE has NOT been a good idea...lot of missed opportunity & betting against market meant major loss in equity.......

Ask Carter Worth,Doug Kass,Robert Prechter,Art Cashin,Guy Adami...they are all looking like a group who cannot "see the TREND" which has been clearly UP????

So..where are we in this RUNUP???

IF we look @ pessimism which IS @ highest level from traders/technicians...we go UP...

IF we look @ ER which is generally a beat...we go UP

IF we look @ weak selling on down days..we go UP

IF we look @ RSI which is 63.46 on Friday...we go UP

SO...IF so many indicators are pointing UP...what are we afraid of???

OH...yes that famous correction????

BUT that correction is within 5% range and we go right back UP......

By the way...we just corrected 15.03 S&P 500 points from high of 1096.56 to intraday low of 1081.53...a miniscule 1.4% correction......

I have a strong feeling that we go to 1120 in S&P 500......which is another 3% move UP????

Most strong stocks will move UP 5% easily in this RUNUP.......

It has been smart to stay in this market & I do not expect it to change anytime soon.....yes there will be 3% to 5% pullbacks along the way BUT that IS normal in any bull market......

Here is how I have allocated my funds as of Friday:

POT 35.92% AG Potash
RIMM 22.47% Tech Smartphone
AAPL 13.13% Tech Smartphone/Computers
BAC 11.5% Financials/Bank
MRVL 10.3% Tech/Chip maker for PC/Smartphones
AUY 4.53% Gold producer
COMS 2.15% Tech/Networking

As you can see that I am diversified in many sectors which gives me very high comfort level.

So...this IS the market to stay IN without worrying too much about normal correction.Make sure that your comfort level is HIGH in a diversified mode.

Always do your OWN due diligence & KNOW your stocks well from changing FA/TA/TAPE....it is NEVER constant.

When S&P 500 is UP SIX day's in a row...you know that shorts are hurting "big time"....

Art Cashin sounds "really frustrated"..his team of shorts must be demanding their money back???

Guy Adami still "fighting the TAPE"...smart investor KNOWS when to QUIT bad thesis /trades....now he is leaning on Doug Kass who proclaimed market TOP @ S&P 1,000 & now claiming to have his highest short position...i am NOT sure that his short strategy has been profitable???

October + Bears predictions = NEW 09 HIGHS

Well Well Well....

Just when all indices were testing their support @ 50 DMA.......Bears came out of woodwork and made the following predictions :

Dr Roubini predicted 20% to 30% decline in markets....a NYU professor becomes an instant market GURU...without ever coming even close to his "doomsday market predictions"First he predicted Dow 2,000???

Carter Worth of Oppenheimer a technician by trade NEVER saw S&P 500 going above 975..so he is sticking to his theory of S&P 500 going down to 975......

Guy Adami known for being WRONG for this entire bull run predicted 905 & now chomping 950 in S&P 500.....BUT he can RAMBLE stock performance of many stocks after close like a 3 year old....

Art Cashin of UBS...who has been WRONG since March...but get his 10 second comedic relief every day on CNBC....

About Gold :

Dr Roubini is also an expert on Gold prices.... is saying that Gold has NO business being this HIGH..I wonder why GOLD NEVER seeks his permission to go into record territory like all time high.....

Dennis Gartman the commodity KING has become the-worst trader of all thing commodity..going short when they are going UP and going LONG when they are going Down..then being stopped out and then Jump back in...real YOYO trader....

Guy Adami has been WRONG on GOLD for last 10 months and still tells viewers how to trade @ all time HIGHS.....I wonder why he is on the panel..has NO clue about Market or Commodities...

So all the Bears could not knock this market down @ start of October...CNBC viewers must be very CONFUSED with so many Professors being WRONG & still TALK like as if they know anything about market & Commodities......

So...we are all set to go to new HIGHS in October....

How ironic..first we were told by technicians & CNBC experts that September was the month to fear when we ended up making 09 highs..NOW October was suppose to create a CRASH that we could never recover from????

October ER are expected to beat in both TOP & Bottom line as an average......thus creating new 09 HIGHS in the process......

Strong stocks are going to go HIGHER......like GOOG,AAPL,BIDU,GS,ISRG,MA,V,AMZN,TSL,EBAY..

Laggards MAY start to participate like RIMM,POT,MOS,AGU,IPI,GNK,EGLE...

Semiconductors will outperform like MRVL,NVDA,SNDK,LSI

Networking stocks are looking strong like RVBD,COMS,CSCO....

Commodities going to take off...Like Gold ,Silver,Copper,Molybdenum,Steel,Coal....some names are AUY,HL,SLW,GG,KGC,TC,X,BUCY,BTU......

US$ will continue its weakness....

SO...we have lot to look forward to in October where bears/skeptics will be the losers AGAIN...

Make sure you are comfortable with your exposure & can take temporary setbacks of 5%.....also make sure you are diversified as it is a long term bull market..so it is OK to have some laggards in your portfolio who will eventually outperform......

Is October going to be as bad as feared ?????

Fear has gripped traders in a big way......

October is being positioned as the month to be afraid of....

Let us look objectively @ this "October" phenomenon......

S&P 500 peaked in 3rd week of September @ 1080.15.......

On October 2nd we closed @ 1025.21..a drop of 54.94 points or a drop of 5.09%....

A 5% retracement is actually healthy and have discounted sluggishness in economic growth already....

Friday's volume was less than previous 2 days...while the economic report was shocking......

Smart money was actually buying on panic selling...that is why we closed 5.26 S&P points above low of the day.....

When market do not close @ low of the day on Bad news...pay attention.....

RSI in S&P 500 closed @ 44.05 which is few points above July low.....

I have a feeling that we build from here and eventually will work HIGHER....

Those who have numbers like Dow 9,000 should pay MORE attention to RSI of last 4 months to get a "better feel of the market"

I strongly believe that once we move away from current levels..we are going much much HIGHER...so this could be a "buying opportunity "

I firmly believe that we are very close to "bottom"

This market has shown clear cut winners like AAPL,GS,GOOG,ISRG...IF you had ridden some or all of them..congratulations..you are exceptional in this market.....

World economies are showing GROWTH & stock markets are reflecting this growth in INDIA which has sprung to new 52 wk HIGH......

SO... do not be taken by media in believing that US growth is questionable ...GDP is expected to show GROWTH in Q3 & strong growth in Q4...

Make sure you have your OWN game plan which ensures your OWN comfort level.No matter how you position your portfolio make sure you are DIVERSIFIED in many sectors.

Market fighting its way back to UNCH !!!!

So...we got the much dreaded jobs report which was expected to be worst than consensus of 175k to 180k.....we got 263K......GS was @ 250K which also was a miss..as predicted by me????

So the combined talent of all the IVY league economists means big fat 0...and they get paid in millions$ for missing the mark by 46%....????

S&P 500 found support @ 1019.95.......50DMA is 1021.71........

This pullback was healthy and we have found support.....NOW we build strength and move forward..to higher HIGHS......

SO...How BAD was IT ?????

Markets were staring @ economic data's which came below expectations....NOT the first time BUT reaction was severe.....

October did not help the sentiments either so lot of selling took hold & rest is known.....closing @ lows of the day......

Internals of the markets were far worse than closing numbers...here is the lowdown :

Declining volume led by 18.9 to 1 in NYSE & 21 to 1 in Nasdaq...i do NOT recall looking @ this kind of ratio????

Declining stocks led by 5 to 1 all over......

This selling has brought many pundits AGAIN making DIRE predictions for the market straight ahead.....

Carter Worth after being WRONG for months NOW knows that we are heading straight to 975 in S&P.....

Guy Adami the winner of missing the entire RUNUP..now knows exactly where we are heading..straight to 950....remember he use to say 905 for last 4 months????

Cramer thinks we are heading straight to 9,000 in Dow which is a drop of another 500 points???Cramer has NOT called the market corrections with any degree of success.......

So where we are in Indices and where we MAY find support :

S&P 500 closed @ 1029.85...50 DMA 1020.73...support 1017 area

So WHY did we went down so sharply & no buyers????I think there was a LEAK that jobs report will be worse than expected loss of 180K...so GS came UP with their SECRET info & predicting that 250K will be job loss...I think GS will come close..but MAY still miss the mark????

Jobs report MAY bring more selling...then buyers SHOULD step in @ these low RSI numbers...45.78 RSI for S&P......

In my portfolio :

Sold GSS

Portfolio is GNK,HL,MRVL,POT,RIMM....

AH NIKKEI is Down 2.16%

AH Futures are all GREEN ????

Correction is a "buying opportunity"....YES !!!!

Markets are reacting to less than "ideal economic numbers"......

Indices are being sold off in reaction to economic numbers.....although IMF has increased worldwide GDP growth expectations for 2009 & 2010......

Corrections are healthy & give "better" entry points......

Yes...it IS October...BUT there is tremendous amount of FEAR already priced-in......

I have a feeling that October will "surprise" us just like September......based on current negative sentiment....

IF you are looking for support in S&P 500 it is @ 50 DMA..which is 1020.91..we are about 13 points away.....BUT NOT all stocks will make lows near that level????....RSI 47.17..great entry point...YES !!!!

Oil Down 31 cents

Gold Down $6.80
