A Mid-Week Look at the Major Indices
August 13, 2008
This is your Mid-Week analysis of the major markets from a technical perspective. I’m using the SPY, QQQQ, and DIA ETFs as a proxy for the S&P 500 Index, NASDAQ 100 Index, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
S&P 500 Index (SPY)
The SPYders have rallied since Mid-July, but seem […]

It seems the most obvious trades in the market recently has been long energy and the like, while being short financials, retail, homebuilders and consumer durables. However, signs are slowing in the economy, and at least ONE side of this trade may start faltering. Don’t get me wrong. This paired trade has […]

A second straight positive month for the markets, and who would have thought May would be capable of finishing up a winner? Remember the old saying, ’sell in May and go away’. Nonsense in 2008! Clearly such a mindset can be effective if the prior 4-6 months were positive…take profits off the […]

Tuesday’s market slump was the result of many excuses: new highs in oil, overbought condition, inflation data and the release of minutes from the Fed’s last meeting. We’ve said many times, any excuse for selling will work…while buyers only need ONE reason. But let’s drill down a bit into those Fed minutes […]

If you are a vetern in the markets, you probably understand. If you are new to trading and investing, the current market has been less then welcoming to say the least. Last week was relatively quiet when we compare to weeks earlier, 20 Point range in S&P and marginal climb of 1% in Nasdaq. Markets have […]

Memo from the Fed: ‘We Get It Now’

This Friday the Market did the opposite of the previous week. The DOW sank over 300 points. The usual suspects were responsible: weak GDP, sinking real estate, credit crunch, more write downs at financial institutions and rising commodity prices. I am sure you too are tired of reading and hearing the same […]

The Bulls and Bear continue their tug of war on Wall Street. The general bias continues to be to the downside. However, the bears have not succeeded in taking the market to new lows as yet. Just as every rally is sold, it seems smart money is buying the good stocks on […]
