In an effort to create more structure for this blog, I’m re-posting 5 charts that depict various trends within the $SPX. In the future this selection will be posted during the weekend. $BPSPX:$VIX = 139.61 $BXM:$SPX = 68.88 $CPMKTE:$CPMKTB = 41.34 $SPXA50R:$VIX = 122.16 $SPXHILO:$VIX = 10.9 Why am I regurgitating this mass of pretty…
Here are the tickers making noise on StockTwits Alcoa is pulling back into support, and technically remains in an uptrend. This may be a good long candidate once the market stabilizes, but stay away until another X gets printed. Time for a wholly spurious prediction. Citi will go to three and announce there is no…
Hypnotized by abject boredom, I picked up the 2009 Stock Traders Almanac in order to feel the joy of material acquisition.

Look out below!!! This market is heavy, so stay defensive or short. Feed Burner/Google Reader doesn’t seem to be picking up my last post, so I’m hoping this one helps.

Although the SPX indicator remains bullish, the NASDAQ is now bearish for the first time since the end of November. This implies an environment…

A few things to watch in the coming week. Despite today’s pullback, my primary indicator remains bullish, so I’m buying the dip. The SPX buy write is lagging the underlying index, so the bulls are looking good for now. The spread between equities and bonds looks ready for a breakout, potentially to the upper Bollinger….
