About market, TAPE participated in wait & see game of Fed raising interest rate or not. Many traders and funds are on the sidelines until then. Currently is a good buying opportunity before market takes off. Many stocks are stable to slightly UP on most days and are showing good relative strength, pay attention to strong stocks.

Fed all set to raise rates & markets will ?
Last 6 weeks have been the steepest slump in S&P 500 in a long time, we lost 265.81 points or 12.46% from 2nd week in July to 3rd week in August.....
In the last 12 trading days we have recovered 94.04 points or 5.04% to close @ 1961.05 from low of 1867.01.....
Many traders are wondering, IF we are headed back to test lows and go sharply under as predicted by technicians & big time hedge fund manager......
Reason for above slump is known to all China, China ,China......
Chinese economy is taking a swift dive from super growth rate of 12% in 2008 to current 6%.....
It IS important to analyse how huge economies like China operate, it is shifting from export oriented to consumption oriented, they are no longer the cheapest place to manufacture goods, it could be Vietnam now......
I do not believe that 6% growth rate is bad @ all, it is among the highest in first world countries, India is growing @ 5%+, US 3%+ & Europe coming out of major slump.
Canada & Australia hurting badly due to commodities slump.
SO..we have gone through many months of discounting Chinese growth issue and Fed intention of raising interest rate......
This week we may see the climactic resolution of interest rate debate, which may result in .25% raising of interest rates.....
Now the next debate is how the market will react to interest rate hike, most common conclusion is,that we go down to test lows and undercut recent lows.....
The trouble with technicians, pundits and hedge fund genius is, that they are only right 50% of the time, a law of Wall Street to teach humility and allows for backtracking or Monday morning quarter backing.
I personally believe that we have more than discounted Chinese sluggish growth & Fed interest rate uptick, there may be knee jerk reaction to these news, but we are on firmer ground, technically speaking, so may withstand these mini shocks easily.
On the sentiment side, after a long long time, i am seeing extreme negativity, bulls are 25.7% and bears are 27.9%....this tilt in bears on the lead by 2.2% is extremely good news for "contrary reaction "
All in all, i will not be surprised, IF we see a major move UP in indices this week.

About market, TAPE braved lowest jobless data, plus super bearish comments from David Tepper who is looking for 20% correction and Carter Worth looking for 1800 in S&P 500. Market has learned to do their own things despite bear parade. TAPE may have finished discounting Fed rate hike and it may be "buy the news". Stay with your best ideas with conviction and patience.

LULU earning report for Q2 was a beat but its guidance for Q3 although higher in Sales but lower EPS due to margin pressure. Inventory is also an issue, stock is being punished down 16.10%. I see those issues as temporary and should go away by end of current Q.

About market, tonight IBD has changed its market outlook to "uptrend under pressure" TAPE did a nasty reversal which is not good for building confidence in this market. This TAPE is becoming extremely selective, so it is important to look for winners, also pronounced weakness to be sold.
Hopefully we can find footing on Thursday to build upon. Patience and conviction are heavily in demand to cope with this volatility.
