September 30, 2007 – 2:29 pm

XLF (financials) XLF looks to be in a good position to make another move up. After jumping to $35.5 last week, people took profits and drove it back down to test $34. It bounced off $34 and is now above the 20- and 30-day MA, which are curving up. Jumping up from here to catch [...]

Sunday Morning Yoga

September 29, 2007 – 10:03 pm

Good morning! Happy Sunday! I haven’t posted yoga videos for a while. I think this is a good one to do on the weekend. Maybe after your Sunday morning workout? Just to relax and stretch. I especially like the “chest/shoulder expansion” exercise! Enjoy! HappyTrading! ™

Review 9/26/07: SPX, Nasdaq, QQQQ, NYX, NMX, NDAQ, ICE, CME

September 26, 2007 – 7:11 pm

The market rallied today. The Dow gained almost +100 points! SPX added +8.21 points, and Nasdaq jumped another +15.58! This rally was actually well-distributed, in that some of the usual leaders just sort of “sat and watched”. For example, GOOG closed down 0.84 points, BIDU lost almost 12, AMZN was flat, AAPL slid 0.41, and [...]

September 24, 2007 – 8:29 pm

The market was a bit on the weak side today. The techs seemed strong in the morning, but, soon succumbed to the pressure from profit-taking. The broader market was even weaker. The Dow lost 61.13 points; SPX gave up 8.02 points; and Nasdaq slide just 3.27 points. Since the market is venting, we continued to [...]

Market Forecast for Week of 9/24 (Part II): Sector Watch

September 23, 2007 – 12:45 pm

XLF (financials) XLF is looking more and more interesting. Its daily MAs are now in a bullish formation with 10- above 20- above 30-day MA. The MACD has moved into the positive territory. I still like GS and MA. MA has been lagging, but, perhaps more of a reason to watch it, ’cause more potential [...]
