This chart is showing an interesting character right here. Should it break up through resistance I like the prospects of an inverted head & Shoulders pattern.

S&P 500

2009-08-26T22:53:00.001-04:00

I think short term the S&P is slightly overbought. We will not open new positions here. When we get a pullback we will be looking for long positions for another leg higher.

APH

2009-08-26T21:12:00.002-04:00

I like the basing action in the weekly on APH. Longer term this stock is in an up trend. I see possible upside target around 47.00... Need it to break out, then I'll be looking at the pullback...

LOW (possible short)

2009-08-20T17:08:00.004-04:00

Here are the top 10 as per S&P500 scan

The following signal longs for today.

S&P update

2009-08-15T17:59:00.003-04:00

Well looking over the weekly chart of the S&P500 I see a few things of interest. First notice the longer term fibo. Currently we also have an inverted head and shoulders. This also goes with the 38.2 fib retrace. So I see a bullish tone down to the support (Red line @ 950). I think the bears task is to drop the p's under 950. Bull task to for support off 950 to hold and bounce off support. So a war is on and now we shall see how pans out. I will say I do think it is possible that we are in a longer term retrace in the P's. My reasoning for that mixes both technical and fundamental info.

SPY

2009-08-13T20:50:00.002-04:00

This weekly chart suggests bullish tones with a possible S/H/S pattern.

What Home Builders?

2009-08-13T20:09:00.003-04:00

Home builder stocks have been carving a nice 40 week base and is trying to break. Despite what I think of the homies The group chart is telling me to possibly get bullish with a qtr size in position.

LIFE (QTR BASE)

2009-08-13T20:04:00.002-04:00

Here is a quarterly chart of LIFE. Should this one bust up through the base it will have zero overhead supply. I like it long out of the base. Now should it flounder here then we will have to wait and see.

2009-08-07T20:39:00.002-04:00

Here are the top ten RSI percent increase for this week. GR is a live position with 1/2 running. I scaled out the other 1/2 @ 1R.
This pic shows date of entry if one just traded each time a signal hit. This means you blindly buy.

7 Reasons Why You Should Invest in Gold Coins Now

1. You can start with a small investment – If you choose to, when you invest in gold coins you can dip your feet in the water before taking a plunge by buying small quantities of gold coins. Build up your collection gradually according to your capacity and interest in this form of investment. For as little as one thousand dollars you can start investing in gold coins right now and start building your future fortune.

2. Gold coins have historically been a good investment -- How well you will do with your investment in gold coins depends on your skill in selecting the right coins and on market forces. However, a study done by Collector’s Universe showed that one thousand dollars invested in U.S rare gold coins in 1970 is now worth $57,977.00. The yield from this particular investment is greater than you would have achieved by investing in gold bullion or in the U.S. stock market.

3. Supply is limited -- This is the main reason why gold coins perform so well as an investment. This limited supply is being chased by a demand for gold coins that is continually growing. Collectors look for coins that are rare in mint condition or those that have never been circulated.

4. Gold coins are easy to sell – Liquidity is an important factor in any investment, and gold coins are easier to sell than gold bars. There are no delays in the sale process whatsoever. You receive your payment immediately.

5. You can divide your sales more easily -- If you have large gold bars, then it is all or nothing when you are thinking of making a sale. However, if you have a good number of gold coins, you can easily take any amount that you want to sell and leave the balance untouched.

6. Gold Coins are safe and easy to store – Gold coins can be stored in a bank safe-deposit box or any other location that is secure and easy to reach.

7. Gold coins can’t devalue according to the whims of some government. Inflation, the cruelest tax of all, will only serve to increase the value of gold coins over time.

Current Tec list

2009-08-04T22:11:00.002-04:00

NVLS looking interesting over 08/03/09 high. Trade bias is wrong should support crack and price fall back into the base.

2009-08-04T21:57:00.001-04:00

Well we are Bullish on from a technical view point.

Here is a list of those stocks gaining the most RSI percentage over the last 5 days

Retail Short

2009-05-21T16:11:00.002-04:00

I see retail charts have triggered short today. You can pull up the retail index and see for yourself. This action puts me in the bear camp for retail stocks...

S&P update

2009-05-07T11:57:00.001-04:00

This chart shows why it might not be wise to open new longs. Possible bump into resistance.

sector action

2009-04-25T19:58:00.004-04:00

Here is why so many stocks from the Computer Hardware boys have been bullish. It has that double bottom look about it. I'm bull in dis tech.

Computer Software & Services are trying to get out of a double bottom pattern.

Here is my top dogs as per my database

Market Overview:

2009-04-18T14:49:00.002-04:00

Well one cannot argue the broad rally that has been taking grip in the markets. I’m not seeing much setting up and so for now I’m in position management mode. I will become a full bull over the Jan highs @ 945 in the S&P500. If the bulls can clear the 945 area I’ll begin to get a little more aggressive in long positions. One could not rule out a correction in the near future, but things will happen as they may. The S&P is up just over 27% since last low. So a consolidation/correction is in the cards, what do you think?
Going into this week of trading my screens do not have any candidates setting up and so we won’t open any new trades.

Market/Stock Review

2009-04-08T17:00:00.000-04:00

Running over my screens I see the following groups have been adding in numbers.
Computer Hardware has AAPL and IBM. I like AAPL long
Tech stocks have been showing strength in Computer Software & Services. Here is where I like CSC long off the daily pullback trigger off HOD.. Stop 34.94 @ 1% position size.
Drugs have been showing power this year in fact. I like BIIB, and MYL here for now.
Retail has been strong with BIG FDO HD WMT BBBY and others. Not sure why so many hitting the screen, but maybe people are spending their tax returns.
Telecommunications came out of nowhere with QCOM daily chart showing a first pull back out of a base.

Thus far I like the broad based attempt at this rally.

Scan Sentiment

2009-03-28T21:35:00.002-04:00

Here is a brief market sentiment based off a scan. First we notice we are getting a wide range selection of stocks. Notice retail as several discount stores are doing well despite the bear market. It makes sense for more people to shop at WMT or TJX in a economic slow down. What I find interesting is the home builder that made the list.

RRC

2009-03-21T22:55:00.001-04:00

RRC has been basing for about 22 weeks and is currently testing upper range. I call this phase the moment of truth. The bears and bulls will be rocking for position. Break out traders are on alert waiting to get long and short traders are getting nervous. This environment adds fuel to the fire. Back to the moment of truth, well bears task is simple bring it down and have everyone believe that resistance line will not be broke. The bulls simply need to scare more shorts. Then the longs pile on...

Bear Rally

2009-03-20T22:40:00.003-04:00

SILVER

2008-12-19T14:00:00.000-05:00

Silver related issues are trying to turn the corner. This one has climbed 27% off the low and has a 50d historic volitility of 79. Currently is is trying to pop out of the range and is in pullback mode. If it falls back into to base we will wait.
