Morning Thoughts November 17
Santa's sleigh more ore less crashed in the last hour yesterday and overnight. So, that makes today's session potentially the most interesting/important one in almost one week. I shared the below chart of the pennant formation in the S&P 500 yesterday but it is worth pointing out again. Given the broad based media attention of […]

Semiconductors (SMH) look like they want to get frisky and jump over the resistance line and teh 200 day moving average. The Dow too is looking ready to pop.

if this alpha animal ever ends up with a daily close below $380 (379 doesnt count), it may offer a good Bucket 2 short opportunity to around $365

Yesterday's intraday trade was directionless and nearly impossible to trade with any conviction. That is to be expected on the second lowest volume day of the year. Why such low volume? My guess is that investors are extremely unsure of what to expect over the next few weeks so decided to sit yesterday's session out […]
Triangle in the SPX
UBS denotes: "Triangle Forming in SPX In line with our recent call, the US market underwent a short-term pullback. However, the whole consolidation phase and in particular last week’s pullback produced just another higher low in the SPX, which shows how resilient the market is on the downside. Furthermore, from a pattern standpoint the sideways […]
Bucket 3: Bought some RIMM
We just bought some RIMM for Bucket 3 due to takeover speculation….we will buy a little more later on today. Will update this post with chart and more reasons soon..
Copper…see the chart for some macro perspective
yes it broke its uptrend since 2009 back in August when everything also broke down…it's now consolidating some before likely resuming its downtrend…and taking the economy growth rates down with it.
