About market, US politician are busy in running the clock to midnight without any real effort to resolve anything. I think TAPE will react to "no deal". Any weakness to be taken in stride because shutdown will have a backlash & politicians will be forced into compromise. I expect some kind of deal by Wednesday midnight after "posturing is played out"......

Unpredictable start for the week......

US politicians are @ it again & Monday may be tough for US market.

All indication so far is heading for a "shutdown" of US government.

TAPE has been weak in the last seven trading days due to confusion about many things as listed :

-Most important is US shutdown

-Earnings in two weeks

-Budget impasse in three weeks

-Who can forget "many version of Fed taper"

Market hates uncertainty & we got plenty going .....

Monday may be bad but Tuesday could be worse IF we do not have agreement by Monday midnight deadline.

Wednesday we may stabilize a bit.....

Thursday depends on IF there is a an agreement on hand or not......

IF no agreement on Thursday Friday could be bad again......

Earnings may be on target but guidance could be better for techs as Q4 is strong seasonally.

Budget talk can get ugly also & market may react to it......

AH..lastly Fed taper......which may not come until December...i hope......

Money managers are under exposed to in terms of less allocation...they know the drill in Washington better than retail....are staying defensive.

S&P 500 is down 2.47% from its high to Friday's low in last seven trading days.......where it may find support depends on last second of deliberation......

50 DMA @ 1680.18.....it may be taken out easily IF there is no agreement.......after that we have to monitor closely if there is buying below 50 DMA......

Any weakness must be bought as we are entering strong Q4 on Tuesday.....

Buy any strong stock which has pulled back slightly from its highs......RSI 50 area is a very good entry point...many strong stocks are already in that buying zone namely NTES SINA YY QIHU AAPL LNKD TRIP GOOG CSOD RALY.....to name a few......

Good luck with political drama..same old same old ????

Technicians waiting for day three of selling ?

Technicians as a group are one of the most "panicky & short sighted"......

We had a quad witching, rebalancing, too may fed officials on "yak mode"..plus we had a great run on Wednesday when we had a "breakout" to new all time highs......

BUT...technicians are ignoring any "bullish technicals" & are hitting "panic button"

They are all afraid of Monday as the third day of selling.......

Technicians are citing that bulls are @ 42.3% & bears are @ 21.61% as a reason for pullback......

They are also fixated on our national pastime of US government shutdown for the 17th time.....that comes in 6 trading days....

SO..we got a "cocktail Mix" of daily Fed yak, Politicians yak......which is going to kill this "bull market" for now ?

Bull market is impacted by "surprise"...NOT by routine & predictable behavior.....

Fed officials "love to CONTRADICT" Ben Bernanke & create their own Fed policy......that is how they get "routine TV coverage"

US politicians are "paid to shut down US government"...not to keep it going in any direction.....

BUT...there is hope for "contrarians".....

-There is an ongoing strong bull market which defies all negative predictions...

-There is "month end buying @ hand"

-Angela Merkel wins German election....

Pullbacks are healthy, it sets up nicely for another strong run.......

SO...sit back & relax.....this strong bull market is far from over...it may go down in history as the "biggest sustained bull market for decade"

Based on my read...we are only half way in this amazing run.........Five more years to go !!!!!

Finally.... Fed may focus on action.......

Fed has been articulating since May 22nd that they may have to curtail bond buying IF economy improves. Fed also have been contradicting repeatedly that it is not imminent. Now comes the "crunch time on Wednesday" ......

Wednesday most analyst are predicting $10 billion cutback in bond buying, if this is the decision then it is fully discounted in the market.......

Many Money Managers are bearish on the market for the month of September, many retail traders are also being cautious & are either "underexposed" or are buying protection......

This Strong bull market has fooled most of the investors & traders most of the time by being "highly resilient"...so i will not bet against this TAPE....Fed or no Fed decision.....

It has been "highly prudent" to be bullish than being skeptical or bearish.....where is Doug Kass & Robert Prechter now on their "constant bearish calls"

Jimmy the Cramer "the all knowing" is also preaching "caution......

I am glad that pundits are being cautious because skepticism fuels future rallies.....

Technicians are saying that there is "major resistance around "1700 to 1710"...so based on close of 1687.99....there is barely 12 points left in this rally......i beg to differ strongly.......

I personally believe that we are heading towards a series of new highs with "minor digestive process"

I also believe that World Economies have "reacted to Fed tightening already"

SO...buy any weakness...as we are heading "much higher"

About market, after seven straight UP session in S&P 500, we had a 0.34% pullback. Pullbacks are healthy in a strong bull market, it offers a chance to buy stocks when they are down a bit, also gives a chance to switch stocks based on relative strength or weakness. Fed & Syria remains in focus & traders may feel uncertainty based on unknown. It is important to book gains & re-position on any weakness.

About market, TAPE was strong despite AAPL product / pricing reaction. It is important to keep booking profit & come up with new ideas. Market is getting near top of its range & may stall there or pullback. Fed taper focus may dictate TAPE action for several days.

About market, after close IBD saying that "market in confirmed uptrend". Ralph Acompora predicting major correction till end of October, he "clearly sees 12000 in Dow". Nasdaq is @ new high in 13 years, so leadership has shifted to Technology. S&P 500 is also above 50 DMA after 12 trading days. When others are getting bullish it is important to plan "exit strategy"......before long we may be overbought again.
