About market, TAPE was under selling pressure and all indices closed @ low of the day, S&P 500 closed @ absolute lowest point. This was a normal consolidation after huge gains, expect a resumption of high spirited buying again.All strong stocks took a time out again but sox continued its strong recovery. Diversification is highly recommended all the time as sector rotation takes hold.

What next for indices......

Indices are flat to sideways for the last 6 trading days, trend is decidedly of basing pattern.

Basing action was necessary to digest recent gains which has been stellar.....

Many are wondering about the direction of this market, thinking it has gone too far too fast.

Fear is a healthy ingredient of a bull market, this market is a strong bull market.

Famous strategist late Marty Zweig was "always worried about market" which keeps all of us trigger happy.

Sometimes holding the trigger is the-best approach as championed by Fidelity's Magellan Fund super investor Peter Lynch, who managed that fund from 1977 to 1990 and had annual return of 29.2% consistently...best performance in the entire world......no wonder he retired @ age 46 and wrote many books, most famous "One UP on Wall Street " & "Beating the Street"......something to read up and implementing.

OK ..where are we in indices, here are some of the stat :

Nasdaq is only 2.05% away from making all time highs

S&P 500 is only 2.14% away from new all time highs

Dow is only 3.12% away from making new all time highs

Here are RSI numbers :

S&P 500 @ 58.43

Dow @ 59.06

Nasdaq @ 61.79

As we are in the strongest seasonality in markets, there is a more riding on this market to make series of new all time highs.

Many strong stocks will surprise most of the traders as they stay out of best ideas, many stocks are in basing pattern and are getting ready to run......

SO...do not tinker with small profits and let the winner run until First week of January, then we will re-evaluate.

Sometimes markets are giving all the signals of strength and stability....but we fail to go beyond our own "fears & assumptions"

All the indices are primed for 70 RSI.........

Stay with strong ideas and some new stocks which are gathering strength...

Good luck with your own strategy and comfort level.

Can indices jump 2.88% this week........

Friday's close brought us these stat :

S&P 500 @ 2089.17....only 2.14% from making a new all time high

Nasdaq @ 5104.92......only 2.44% from making a new all time high

Dow @ 17823.81.......only 2.88% from making a new all time high

RSI in indices are as follows :

S&P 500 @ 58.38

Nasdaq @ 59.76

Dow @ 60.42

In terms of points we have to push through these numbers only :

S&P 500 needs 45.56 points to make it in new record high

Nasdaq needs 127.03 to make it in new record high

Dow needs 527.56 points to make it in new record high

Above numbers are easy to get to IF we have the buying momentum carries on into thanksgiving holiday, history is positive for the market during thanksgiving week.

Recent TAPE has taken us into 70 RSI in all indices then a pullback has come.

BUT we have pulled back from current level in RSI for few days before marching on towards 70 RSI..

History is also telling us to remain engaged until 70 RSI is attained.....risk / reward is very good....

BUT only the strongest stocks are performing and making new all time highs, while laggards are remaining laggard......

Strong stocks are all high in $ value for small players to get in, too much capital outlay is required to have a meaningful position, thus institutions & hedge funds are heavily involved in high flying stocks.

Mergers and acquisition is happening in SOX which remains ripe for takeovers...due to low valuation....

Russell & Mid caps are struggling to make any  meaningful move yet......

After any pullback which may last no more than 3 days, it is prudent to look into entry in strong stocks, even a minor position works well.

In conclusion, it appears that a Thanksgiving all time highs may be in the cards.

Good luck with your own strategy and comfort level.

Staying engaged in strong stocks are a much better bet than buying laggards, i tend to have a mix of both but with lot of due diligence.

About market, TAPE was super strong despite Paris, market felt that these events are not going to impact economically, thus closing @ high of the day. Strong stocks outperformed in this snapback.

Monday another difficult open for indices.....

Indices are sitting ready to take out 50 DMA in all indices, thanks to Paris situation.

Here is how indices has fared so far in last 8 trading days :

-Dow down 4.08%

-S&P 500 down 4.41%

-Nasdaq down 4.56%

Here is how RSI is sitting after 8 trading days :

-Nasdaq @ 43.73

-Dow @ 43.33

-S&P 500 @ 41.61

In distress situation, RSI can tumble to 30 or even hair below 30 before it is "deeply oversold"

Interest hike fears have taken hold on the trading psyche of traders and market participant.

Commodities are being trashed with US$ flying high on interest rate hike scenario....

BUT.....there may be silver lining due to Paris effect, and they are :

-Oil may move UP

-Gold may move UP

-Indices may open sharply lower, unless Fed makes a "contrary statement of interest rate in US staying put"

In any "unusual situation like Paris" reaction may be sharply lower but may stabilise by end of trading day......that is the hope, let us see IF it plays out that way.

Again, Monday may present buying opportunity in strong stocks.......

IF you have been waiting to buy or increase your exposure, Monday open may give you a very good entry, it is better to be lucky than smart.

On a personal note, last week was my worst week ever in 4++ decade of trading, 12% loss in 1 week, thanks to FIT for majority of losses.

About market, TAPE was under intense selling pressure thanks to Oil, Commodities & Fed statements for higher rates, indices closed @ low of the day and went below 200 DMA in Dow & S&P 500. Was this the final flush before we stabilise and go higher, only Friday's TAPE may confirm this. Still recommend holding strong stocks in this challenging environment.

About market, TAPE was under selling pressure from M ER and Oil tanking again. First time i have seen all indices closing down by same %. Volume was low due to veterans day. TAPE is drifting with many negative data from different sectors. Hopefully we will find footing and move UP any moment now. Stay with your conviction and in the end everything will turn out more than OK.

About market, TAPE was under mild selling pressure again, but managed to erase most of its losses and managed to close green in S&P 500 & Dow. TAPE has been resting after big gain for last 5 trading days, it seems that selling has dried up and we are looking @ higher prices. Many stocks are bucking the trend and staying near all time highs, this is a very good sign of stability in leaders. Stay with strength and prune losers.

About market, TAPE got hit with many negative news like Chinese slowdown in imports & exports, OECD reducing worldwide growth and interest rate jitters, based on all the issues we did not close near low of the day and volume was low also.Dow & S&P 500 are very close to 200 DMA but Nasdaq is well above which is a sign of strength. I do not see today's TAPE as a sign of any change in the direction of this bull run. Weakness need to be bought or maintain your exposure.

Bull market is on strong footing.........

SO...everyone was worried about jobs report and its implication on interest rate & market ?

Jobs report was a super strong 271K....

What did the market do on that jobs report, most indices went UP......

Many market watchers are extremely confused about their own thesis these days, endless wait for a major pullback.......

This market has been on a bull run since last week of September when it stood @ 1871.91, it shot UP to 2116.48 in a short span of 25 trading days, it was a move of 1660.23 points or 8.87%......

Last 3 trading days it gave up only 32.74 points or 1.55% on jobs report fear.......

In a strong bull market, it has its own momentum and it hardly misses a beat even with "so called rate changing moment"

It is important to understand this bull market, we are headed much higher to series of all time highs.

Seasonally we are in the strongest part, which should add more fuel to this bull fire......

Currently RSI stands @ 65.77 after hitting 70 twice, we seems to be ready to move well beyond 70 RSI this time, high 70's could be in the cards........

Many strong momentum names are making all time highs, that is a tell tale of the strength of this bull market.

Even bad earnings stocks are slowly creeping back up like NFLX......

When market rewards bad earning, one has to accept the strength of this market.

Highly recommend highest exposure based on your "risk tolerance"

This bull market is getting warmed up now for a "major bull run"

We have been discounting slumping China, weak Europe, weak Asia, weak South America and weak Canada...but they are all showing a "pulse in their economy now"

Once they come on board for economic expansion, this bull will roar to levels not imagined by most traders.....

SO....give this market a chance to grow your portfolio, quick profit days are over, it is the long term approach that will pay off handsomely......remember bull market of 60's when nifty fifty ruled...that is where we are heading, it was a decade run.....

Good luck with your own take and your own strategies. 

I am all in......
