Next?


The quarter ended today with record gains. And it appears that the S&P is going to take a run at 960 in July. Today was a good day although profits were lower due to the chop trade off the low of 908.25.

Angelo's Fantasy......Music To Trade By

Lyrics

Every man has a place, in his heart there's a space, and the world can't erase his fantasies.

Take a ride in the sky, on a ship fantasii all your dreams will come true, miles away.

And we will live together, until the twelfth of never our voices will ring forever, as one.

Every thought is a dream, rushing by in a stream, bringing life to the kingdom of doing.

Take a ride in the sky, on a ship fantasii. All your dreams will come true, miles away.

Our voices will ring forever until the twelfth of never, we all, will live LOVE forever, as one.

Come and see, victory in a land called fantasy, loving life, for you and me, to behold, to your soul is ecstasy.

You will find, other kind, that has been in search of you, many lives has brought you to recognize it's your life, now in review.

And as you stay for the play, fantasy, has in store for you, glowing light will see you through, it's your day, shining day, all your dreams come true.

As you glide, in your stride with the wind, as you fly away give a smile, from your lips, and say "I am free, yes I'm free, now I'm on my way"!

"Fantasy" by Earth Wind & Fire

Some People Say I'm Crazy...But It's Alright
























Back on March 6th of '09 I was talking to an account executive who was trying to convince me that the markets were on an unstoppable downtrend. I told him that the S&P was making a bottom as we spoke. He laughed at me....

I continued to ask him questions to see if he was a broker I would want to deal with for long term, managed accounts. About a week later I sent him these charts that clearly show a shift in volume and a change in trend.

Needless to say, I didn't open an account with him. In fact I called the CEO of his firm and told her what happened. Naturally the management team was apologetic.
Don't believe me? Here's the word from the horse's mouth.
This is Dr. Martin Weiss Ph.D.
Quote: "America's Second Great Depression has arrived; and a great bear market is here...... No one can know in advance at what level the bottom will be. Nor can we know for sure when it will come."
There you have it. The "expert" with a lifetime of investing experience getting clients ready to go short right at the bottom. WOW!
So I continue to trade what I "see" not what I "think". Or what anybody else thinks.

Another Quiet But Profitable Day


Another quiet summer day. But while quiet days can be boring they give you more time to see formations shaping-up with plenty of advance warning.

Is The Rally Over?



A 'choopy top' is what yesterday looked and felt like. Heavy volume and not much directional movement. It will probably 'blow' tomorrow. But this definately looks like the end of this bear rally. While the chop was unbearable, this 12,000 tick chart kept us on the right side of the market and kept the noise very quiet.


This morning's Daily chart supports the idea that this rally is running out of gas and the party is ending.
