Market Comments: 1/2/2010 Part Two

What is the sound of a tree falling in the bush, if no one is listening?

What is the sound of the stock market falling, if everyone is watching?

Yes - I'm in ZEN mode tonight. Nothing else to do. :))

The market was very oversold, and today became even more oversold.

A few (very few) positives:

  • the percentage of the 50-Leaders above the 150-Day SMA rose today to par - 50%
  • Information Technology went up 0.4%
  • Consumer Discretionary went up 0.5%
hmmmmm. Consumer Discretionary went up 0.5% while the ANZ job vacancies data went down? WTF. Something's not quite in whack there. If jobs are going down - won't consumer discretionary spending go down? hmmmmmmm.

Anyway - the market is very oversold.

Broken Clock Time - The Market Will Be Up Tomorrow. :))

Cheers
Red

  1. Heh... you'll be right again Redbacka :)

    however, I am looking at this current bounce to try to position myself for longer term shorts, beleiving the market back is broken for now.

    I beleive anywhere from 100 to 200 points upside, maybe even a little more is possible from here, but personally too may things suggesting we are in a downtrend now.

    Good luck mate and thanks again for your constant insights... at this rate we will make an intraday index trader out of you yet :)
