August 10, 2010 – 3:23 pm

NFLX jumped almost [...]

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I wrote: "For the new week, a whole lot more earnings reports are coming in…  The market is barely being supported by its daily MAs.  A quick dip could send it to test SPX 1040 again.  It’ll be up to the earnings again.  Monday and Tuesday could induce big [...]

Last weekend, in my Market Forecast, I wrote: "For the new week, this week is still range-bound with a bearish bias.  The longer the market hangs below SPX 1080, the more likely we’ll see SPX test 1040 soon again.  However, if the market rises above 1100, we’ll likely see a new bullish formation in SPX’s [...]
