About market, TAPE finished near low of the day as today was month end and quarter end. After close White House released their guess number of potential death from Corona Virus in USA to as high as 240,000, this is a very smart strategy to deal with fear, gossip and undue focus on how bad it is going to be, ironically we may rally on this news as more certainty is being dealt with than avoidance or fighting facts.

Where to next in markets?
Indices are showing sign of life until it surprises us like Friday's closing.
There is lot of opinion, debate, analysis & predictions going on, mostly bearish.
Biggest debate IS......
ARE WE @ BOTTOM
IS IT THE-BOTTOM
OR IS IT A BOTTOM
All this talk adds to confusion about the purpose of investors and traders to be in stock market.....purpose is to make money.....
None of the pundits will tell you how they are making money with A THE BOTTOM theories, but they are too smart to reveal their "secret strategy "
I personally look for a "fair chance to make money considering everything "
Sometimes this strategy means less exposure and sometimes more exposure....only way I know how to adjust my risk.....
IF we look for all clear.....
We should not be in stock market......Money market is always all clear .25% to 5% is the range of reward....
We should try to develop a strategy which suits your own personality...
Some are always exposed to UP DOWN & SIDEWAYS market...OK by me....
Some sell on a slight bit of noise...OK by me...
Some buy on little hope..OK by me...
Some buy,,,because they must...OK by me....
Currently lot of noise...
VIX SKY HIGH
GOLD SKY HIGH
STOCKS are struggling
Indices are WOBBLY
What to do then.......
Wait for Tony Dwyer to give all clear......which could be @ 2100 IF it goes below..he will give you a new number on S&P 500...
BUT..you can IGNORE all the punditry and look for opportunistic trading.....buy 5 or 6 stocks which looks good to you...UP DOWN OR SIDEWAYS...there is money to be made....through equity, covered call or options.....take your pick....
I am most optimistic when others are talking 1600 in S&P 500
Generally it works......
Back to Corona Virus 19 which has become 20 and will keep doing what " model allows it to do "
We have China model, we have Italy model, we have South Korea model and we have USA model...it all depends where you look.....
Most countries are realizing that Chinese model controls the fastest.....so there is hope.....
Good luck with your strategy & thought process.

S&P 500 @ lowest close.....where to now?
S&P 500 the-most watched index of 500 stocks lowest close @ 2304.92 on Friday...could be a sign of things to come.....
S&P 500 lowest intraday low was only 2 trading days ago @ 2280.52
It is very interesting, not a single major index closed @ new low of this slump, that was reached either 1 to 3 trading days ago.....a sign of hope?
Markets are extremely jittery, Nancy Pelosi is not in agreement with $2 trillion stimulus package as of last report, nothing else, this may plunge indices into new all time lows unless a deal is done before open.....
SO our Friday's close may or may not hold based on Washington approach to size of stimulus package.....
RSI in key indices / index ranges from 26.75 in IWM to 36.05 in SOX......
When SOX is leading averages, then it is a very strong technical indicator.
Oil needs to move UP gradually to signal, that economic slump may not last beyond August.
Corona Virus is spreading very fast all over US Canada Italy Spain UK and worldwide, death toll is accelerating with Italy has most followed by China.
Infection is compounding @ alarming rate worldwide.
Many countries are caught unprepared and are struggling with Mask, Test kits and facilities to treat and isolate.
Some are taking this very lightly in every country and State / Province have to impose separation rules....
Futures in 3 hours will tell the story as to where we are heading in Asia, then Europe then North America....
All I can hope that democrats and republicans can agree on size and scope of stimulus package before it is causes major damage to markets....
Good luck with your own analysis of this TAPE!

About market, TAPE started weak then went UP then crawled to finish in green, this is the-best TAPE can do considering uncertain Corona Virus impact on world economy. Tomorrow could be first strong close IF market stars are aligned. IF we confirm today's UP close with a solid green on Friday, it will be a huge sigh of relief that we probably have discounted most of the bad news.

Most commentators look tired and disoriented with this TAPE, nobody can make any sense of Corona Virus related market as history is no guide as far as I know.

Can stock market look 6 months ahead?
Normally stock market looks ahead 6 months.....
IF that is the case, there is lot to be optimistic about....
We all know we are facing 2 quarters of pain Q 1 & Q 2.....in terns of Sales & EPS...
Somehow bull bear ratio is still too bullish, bulls 36.2% bears 22.9%.....which has surprised me....maybe there is much more pain to come.....
@ bear market lows, it used to be 60% bear .......
News flow is fast & furious worldwide.....more and more infection being reported and more are dying...
Looking @ RSI, these are the numbers :
SOX 39.99
Nasdaq 38.67
S&P 500 37.67
DOW 36.76
IWM 27.43
Even after Friday's huge rally, Russell 2000 is in deeply oversold territory.
Oil can be useful in finding direction for stock market, IF Oil is UP...there is a good chance that Stock market may follow oil's lead.
Oil price is a real indicator of where economy stands in terms of growth / GDP
This TAPE has been painful for most of us, only those short this market were smiling....
I expect more volatility in near term, then a strong move UP from there.
I am staying in very high comfort / strong stocks based on current and future trends....
Good luck with your own analysis and comfort level.

About market, TAPE after initial yo yo action closed @ highest point of the day. Most sectors participated in this rally. I am hoping for a positive close on Wednesday to confirm "negativity is out ". New York Corona Virus infection is getting lot of media attention which is reflected in Futures.

About market, TAPE went into freefall when Saudi Arabia & Russia started a price war in oil, as they say rest is history, many sectors besides oil slumped badly. These things work out slowly as price readjust to a more sane level. Ironically this pullback took many players by surprise and were caught on the wrong side of trade. Hopefully sanity returns on a " turnaround Tuesday "....

Will Indices test recent lows......
Only 6 trading days ago, we slumped to lows matching October 2019 lows.
All indices are struggling below 200 DMA , DOW being the-worst which is way way below 200 DMA....looking worst among all indices.....
Nasdaq and SOX are above 200 DMA....which is comforting...so far....
Corona Virus news is getting more and more attention with death & infections on the rise.....
Over 105,000 infected and close to 4,000 death......worldwide......
China Korea Iran Italy are the hotbed of increasing number of death.
It is NOT the absolute numbers worldwide, but it is the enormity, almost 100 countries infected globally which IS causing major alarm bell...
When psychology of fear and unknown takes over, then rationale analysis do not hold water.....
Market IS stuck in ' fear of unknown "
That kind of " hysteria " can take these indices below recent lows.....
On the other side, we got a friend in Central Banks / Reserve Banks worldwide all cutting interest rates aggressively and willing to go to ZERO or even NEGATIVE IF need be......
Never fight the fed mantra may neutralize some fear of unknown.....
Based on all of the above, It IS NOT about RSI or oversold conditions which we do have, but it is all about " news flow "
Russell 2000 has 29.90 RSI on the low side and SOX has 39.82 on the high side...I never thought I will define high & Low RSI with these numbers.....
Most of us are spectators in this fast moving news flow which directly affects stock price movements.....on a minute by minute basis.....
SO...keep your high comfort stocks with patience and WAIT for news flow to go in the background, then only normal TAPE will return.
Good luck with your own analysis and comfort level
