"TRIPLE BOTTOM" in S&P 500 ?
Looking @ recent chart of S&P 500 gives a very interesting picture...as they say "a picture is better than thousand words".....
SO...what is this interesting picture ?
First...S&P 500 @ start of Feb was @ 1044.50...zoomed UP to 1219.80 by April 19th..a GAIN of 175.80 or 16.78% in a short 11 week......this when all Gurus were saying we go to 850 in S&P 500.....
Second....from 1219.80 S&P 500 went down to 1040.78 by 3rd week of May ..a loss of 179.02 or down 14.68% from high.......
Third.....S&P made series of higher lows since.....1040.78 first,1042.17 second then on Friday 1067.89...a typical "triple bottom" scenario ?
BUT our CNBC gurus always insists that we are going down to 900 area...everytime ?.......history has told us that Adami,Rosenberg,Prechter & Carter Worth...have NOT been close to being accurate in last 10 years......factually they all miss the mark by overwhelming %....BUT many sell everything when these Guru's come up with their wild predictions ?
SO..it IS important to develop your OWN "feel of market direction".....you may be MORE accurate than CNBC Guru's.....& it MAY be better for your finacial health
YOU MAY ask..... why is market testing 1040 area so many times ?
Answer could be that US markets are controlled by "supercomputers" which are pre-programmed to buy or sell to certain data points in S&P 500.......back & forth ?
SO..IF we are to believe that.... then we can be very aggressive near bottom of the range (currently) & start booking profit near top of the range (1130 to 1219 in S&P 500)
...
Many stocks which are technically strong do NOT tank when market goes to test lows....like AAPL,BIDU,SNDK,LRCX,CRUS.....to name a few..... BUT on any UPTURN make higher highs......
SO...it is important to stick to strong stocks IF you do NOT want to trade like yoyo.....
It COULD be.... that market is ALSO trying to discount recent "weakness" in US data....once it finishes doing that ...then we MAY find a "new higher trading range"......& supercomputers & their algos will find a higher trading point.....
It is NEVER easy to DECIPHER market trend BUT it is IMPORTANT to have your OWN feel of economic trendlines.....
As we have observed.... that Guru's & economists are always missing numbers,estimates,targets...then it is PRUDENT not to base your investment or trading decisions on their negativism or euphoria .......
Here is my $/sector allocation as of Friday :
SNDK 23.49% Tech Flash memory
BIDU 22.57% Internet search
CNQ 16.44% Oil & gas producer
CREE 16.44% Tech LED
LVS 13.30% Casino operator
TCK 10.84% Copper,coal mining
As you can see that i am well diversified which is the best way to be in an uncertain market environment.
Good luck with your OWN due diligence & comfort level.

.08% to .90% decline in Indices.....
Indices gave up all their gains & lost a bit more by close......Nasdaq could not close UP "lucky 8 in a row"..a slight overbought condition.... was ripe for a minor pullback......
Why the slump in Indices......???
It was claimed by media that Chinese statement was vague & had no clarity....I guess media has never read US Fed statement ever...they are always vague ..but is always indicative of future action or inaction.....
Guess what???
Around 930 PM Chinese have announced a new "lower Yuan trading range of Dollar parity rate of 6.7980 Yuan vs Monday rate of 6.8275"....how is that for clarity & fast action by Chinese.....

China announced yesterday that they will "gradually increase the value of their Yuan"..they are stating it will be minimum upward adjustment......
Markets worldwide took this as positive move.....
US markets are giving a lackluster endorsement as hedge funds controls the movement of market.....maybe they had net short position so need to cover before taking this market UP like the rest of the world ????

S&P 500 Ready to take out 50 DMA.......
May has turned out to be the-best time to accumulate stocks...in 3rd week of May S&P 500 was @ 1040.78...four weeks later S&P 500 closed @ 1117.51...UP 76.73 points or +7.37% in a month...
IF...you followed CNBC Guru's..you were told to sell near May lows & they told you they will let you know when to buy......In May Europe was dubbed as "basket case"......& Euro was going below par......
Last Friday Euro closed @ 1.2381......from a low of 1.1919 .....
Also CNBC Guru's told you to keep buying protection when VIX was @ 48.20 on May 21st.....four weeks later VIX closed @ 23.95......
SO..what is the moral of this story......do NOT look for investment/trading strategy from CNBC...they are all well paid to say something which may NOT be good for your "financial health"...editorial check is almost non-existent........remember Jimmy the Cramer saying "i do NOT like this market" few days back ??????
After all is said & done....Market is healthy......
S&P 500 SHOULD take out out 50 DMA of 1139.15..which is only 21.64 points away.......
Strong stocks are making new highs or about to...so stay away from BARGAINS......
Here is my $/sector allocation as of Friday :
SNDK 22.31% Tech/Flash memory
BIDU 19.63% Tech/Internet search
CNQ. 15.47% Canadian Oil & Gas producer
SOLF 13.61 Solar fully integrated
LVS. 12.00 Casino operator
TCK. 9.92 Copper/Coal/Zinc mining
CREE 7.06% Tech/LED
Good luck with your OWN due diligence.Ensure your OWN comfort level & stay diversified.

IF you are looking for an answer about today's tape from media ala CNBC, you will think we are going downhill because we did not finished above 200 DMA in all Indices......????
The reality IS that today's TAPE was very constructive....because we went to higher HIGHS & actually crossed 200 DMA in Dow & Nasdaq closed ABOVE 200 DMA again.....
Opinions & FACTS are contradictory when it comes to CNBC reporting......
Generally indices do not close 200 DMA in first attempt......

Market looking FIRM in option expiry week....
Worldwide markets are trying to overcome "European challenges" & looking beyond abyss.....
Fear was injected "big time" by media overplaying Europe issues......
European debt is no different than many countries around the world faces every year....
Hedge funds have benefited by shorting the market in a relentless manner "wiping out" many retail traders especially those who rely in "option trading".......
Institutions are waiting for "dust to settle" before putting money to work.....
We had two months of straight selling..wiping out margin investors/traders/institutions as daily margin calls played havoc into all portfolio.......
By Wed of past week ..we finally had all the sellers out of the game.....some sitting in 100% cash or having "high cash position in their account"
Markets were so oversold that it attracted "strategic buyers" in the past week....these are the traders & institutions who could buy with conviction....
Conviction is very important in this stage of the market...headlines will continue to be negative & will be played up by CNBC......
CNBC is becoming a mouthpiece for shorts & negative commentary.....
CNBC thinks that everyone is a daytrader & pushes this agenda.....
Serious money is always made when news is terrible & sentiments are @ its worst.....
Currently, contrary indicators are giving the biggest "buy signal".....Put premium are @ its peak as everyone is hedged...sure sign of market bottom when Fear/protection is in vogue.....
Many stocks are showing "relative strength" by moving UP fast or are "near 52 wk HIGH"
@ this stage "buying strength" will be rewarding NOT "bargain hunting".....buy fewer stocks but buy stronger stocks based on TAPE......
I am @ my highest exposure since March of 09...95% invested.....
"Action speaks LOUDER than words"
Here is my $/sector allocation as of Friday's close :
SNDK 26.67% Tech/Flash & Nand memory
CNQ. 19.67% Oil & Gas producer
LVS. 15.15% Casino operator
CRUS 14.60% Tech/Chip maker
TCK. 12.68% Copper,Coal mining
SOLF 8.18% Solar fully integrated
PIR. 3.07% Retail
As you can see that, I am highly diversified ...which is the best way when markets are coming off bottom.....I see "relative strength" in my entire portfolio & is positioned to "optimize $ invested" means biggest bang for the buck is the focus......some sexy names "may NOT go UP in % terms"
Hopefully, you are positioned to take advantage of "rampant fear"which brings better prices in strong stocks......even in this option expiry week.....

Are the ABOVE stat telling us that selling is just about DONE ?
There is 1040 in S&P 500 which every technical trader is looking for...BUT IF we do NOT get there..THEN expect a "huge rally"......
Euro closed @ 1.1917 AH 1.1945.....IF Euro is stable to firm...then there is one more catalyst for a strong rally......
Near bottom....markets are very painful & FEAR takes over....BUT it is perfect time to RETHINK strategy.....

S&P 500 RSI @ 38.24...Near lows !!!!
S&P 500 RSI closed @ 38.24.....NOT @ lows of 30 area reached in early May..since then RSI has touched total of 3 times in 30 area ..all in May......
The question is WHY RSI is ABOVE those lows?
Also interestingly, VIX is also NOT as high as its recent peak?
SO..all those gloom & doom in CNBC & other media NOT causing "extreme panic"???
BECAUSE...MAYBE.....market HAS discounted all the "potential & known" issues....
Market is a discounting mechanism.......
Lot of pundits are "salivating over the possibility of S&P 500 going below 1040"...BUT it MAY turn around in a hurry...MAYBE same day & close ABOVE 1040 level.......
SO...everybody WAITS for a RETEST of 1040.....which MAY or MAY NOT come......
There is an obsession to PREDICT LOWS in market & wanting to buy @ "absolute low in stock prices"......
Ironically...market lows does NOT necessarily brings the lowest prices in many stocks...most stocks "turn UP" before lows.......
It is impossible to buy @ the lowest price.....unless one is extremely lucky.....
Most traders KNOW that markets are deeply OVERSOLD now......it may not be a bad idea to increase the exposure in this market..I have increased my market exposure to 70% as of Friday...my highest $ allocation in many months.....
CMF in markets are approaching green....NOT a sign of slumping market..smart money is on the buy side.....programmed selling are controlled by Algorithm...BUT there ARE buyers WAITING.... who are too happy to buy @ low low prices....
When we look back in few months..we MAY realize that this was the "buying opportunity"
Job Growth in US is "on track" contrary to market reaction on Friday....
Europe is NOT a basket case...only few minor economies are "challenged" which is nothing close to what we faced in banking crisis of 08.....
IF we can come out of "financial mess of 08" then Europe will be a piece of cake........
Here is my $ / sector allocation as of Friday :
CRUS 21.14% Tech/Chip
LVS.. 20.53% Casino Operator
SNDK 20.15% Tech/Flash/Nand memory maker
TCK.. 16.65% Copper/Coal/Zinc miner
CNQ..13.28% Oil & Gas Eploration
SOLF 8.25% Solar fully integrated
I have accumulated stronger stocks which are being sold off in this slump,they are holding "better than weaker stocks"
Good luck in dealing with this "emotional & IRRATIONAL market"

3.15% to 3.64% slump in higher volume.....
SO...the shorts, skeptics & machines were in total control of markets today...thanks to overhyped numbers from administration & economists.....you would believe that we had serious negative numbers in job....like job loss of 300k...to justify today's slump of 3.15% to 3.64%...
SO..Euro went below 1.20..where it has struggled for days.....
SO..Hungary is feeling debt issues..so is US & California & every other state in US.....
Markets are programmed to sell..reasons are NOT convincing.....
Technical picture is NOT cause for ALARM yet.....as all Indices are above recent lows...
S&P 500 closed @ 1064.88... previous low is 1040.78...can machines knock this number..YES...BUT what does it proves in the bigger picture.....it just gives anyone a better buying opportunity....
Nasdaq closed @ 2219.17...its recent low is 2140.53..YES machines can knock it lower......
Factually speaking Nasdaq is only 14.99 points away from its 200 DMA......healthiest of all !!!
I am personally NOT looking/worrying @ indices..BUT buying stocks which I should be having in my portfolio...whenever machines are re-programmed to go UP..hopefully I should benefit from uptick...
Some food for thought......for this IRRATIONAL market.......
By Saturday noon..i will list buy rated stocks.

Dow & Nasdaq are green ignoring many overnight news of China Manufacturing slowing to 53.9 in May vs 55.7 in April....due to European economy slowing down......

Also on Monday Indian GDP grew by 8.6%......
