Dow closed below 11,000.........

Dow closed below 11,000 ...a major reversal of fortunes .......

Today after a long long time I see new 52 week low hitting 1154 on NYSE and 527 in NASDAQ...NYSE low is an EXTREME bearish condition......

If we believe all the technicians then there is prediction of MORE downward pressure to come....

Technicians are predicting 5 to 10% rally from here ....then back to new LOWS......

If I have to interpret "technicians speak"...they are suggesting a low of below 10,000.......

Only time will tell.......

In my portfolio :

AAPL rating 30/70 target $187.77

SOL rating 85/95 target $18.94

HOD.TO No TA.....NYMEX Crude made a triple top today......Fundamentals for Crude is NOT looking good with worldwide economic slowdown.......

Among strong stocks were BRCM,DUG,SGP,PMCS,SPWR,NMX,GRMN,
AMZN,LDK.....

AH INTC ER was OK.....

Bear Market BOTTOM struggle going ON......

Bears are trying to push this market LOWER.......

Some buyers are stepping IN to challenge Bear tape......

Those who pick up bargain near bottom is USUALLY rewarded big time.....

In my portfolio :

AAPL rating 40/65 target $187.75......Market tape overpowers AAPL outstanding Fundamental News of 1 million 3G iphone Sales......Also some traders selling to capture any gains in this lousy tape.....

SOL rating 85/60 target $17.99......SOL showing back to back gains...sign of excellent technicals...

HOD.TO No TA....OIL tape looking very TOPPY...sign of distribution NEAR top end of range..

Strong sectors included Solar & AG.......

Market is bracing for bad inflation data & Ben Bernanke testimony.....

Markets building SUPPORT......

Markets are in building support phase.......

Technicians/Hedge funds are STILL selling every rally to take the markets LOWER.....

Will they succeed in tanking the markets further????

I have serious doubt.....maybe a TOKEN low but nothing to hang their hat on......

This week IS very important for base building in markets......
IF markets do NOT hit new LOWS in a meaningful manner...then those waiting on sidelines will feel SAFE to do some buying !!!!

Next week will be very INTERESTING !!!!

In my portfolio :

Added 8% more SOL @ open...my cost went down to $19.42.....

AAPL UP $3.46 after reporting a very impressive 1 million 3G iphone sales in 3 days...Sales of add-on Application was also beyond any prediction......

SOL UP 58 cents

HOD.TO UP 3 cents

@11.29AM the following stocks on my watch list is green:

CSIQ(pre-release of Q2 results guiding higher for FY 08),
SOLF(announced contract),TOL,JASO,VMW,LDK,POT,
IPI,CCJ,JRCC,NDAQ,MA,AUY,ABX,FSLR,ISRG,AGU.

WHEN the "new bull market will start"????

Dow went to 10,977.68 on Friday from a high of 14,200..a stunning drop of 3222.32 Dow points or 22.6%...well into "bear market territory".......

Technicians/Hedge Funds HAVE positioned for more drop.......

So...How LOW will Dow GO????

My guess is between 10,000 to 10,500 on DOW ...so another 3.4% to 6.9% a total drop of 29.5% IS a possibility...

My educated GUESS tells me it SHOULD be more like 10,500 on Dow.......

So ...if we take a PROBABLE number of 10,500 which is about 600 Dow points away......it should take coming week to FINISH the "bear market" which started last October.....10 months ago.....

THEN......AFTER coming week !!!!!

We.....start work on CREATING a brand new "bull market"

Do you know that there is NO definition of a bull market.......

Most followers of this market are predicting a "strong rally from bear market LOWS"

So what is a strong rally?

I will say anything from 10% to 15% on Dow points......

So we are getting CLOSE to a rally of ABOUT 1500 Dow points.......

Now the question IS.......

Are you positioned to take advantage of this "strong rally which CAN spill over into 20% gain which MAY be about 2,000 Dow points".....as markets always OVERDO on both ends.......

It will be WISE to position with STRONG STOCKS where Sales & Earnings are GROWING faster than any other sector.....

We all have our favourites like AG,STEEL,COAL,OIL,GAS,SOLAR,TECH,GOLD,PHARMA......

What IS my thesis for this strong rally :

OIL heading to $120

GOLD heading to $800

US$ getting STRONG

That is enough to start a QUICK TURNAROUND in markets.....

My portfolio is:

AAPL............ Tech sector

SOL ...............Solar play

HOD.TO....... Short ETF on NYMEX CRUDE prices......

Hope you are READY to position for next trend which is looking UP !!!!
