Market Mondays


On the SPY chart, notice the following:

-- Prices have been declining for the last year. They hit a low point in November, bounced a bit higher but have been moving lower since the beginning of the year.

-- All the SMAs are moving lower

-- The shorter SMAs are below the longer SMAs

-- Prices are below all the SMAs



Notice the following on the DIA chart:

-- Prices are near their lowest point in a year

-- All the SMAs are moving lower

-- The shorter SMAs are below the longer SMAs

-- Prices are below all the SMAs


Notice the following on the QQQQ chart:

-- Prices broke through key support over the last few weeks.

-- All the SMAs are moving lower

-- Prices are below all the SMAs

Bottom line: these are incredibly bearish charts. Period.

Personally, I think it will bottom out at 6000, staying on the sidelines until then.

as someone who is not sophisticated in terms of the economy how to you speak to someone who uses this news that evidence of Obama's policy failures?

Obama's plans haven't done anything yet, good or bad. All we've seen is people's reaction to them. Check back in 6 months to a year and we might be able to dig out the effects of the stimulus from the general noise. 3 to 5 years from now it should be fairly clear, however if the New Deal is any indication, there will be arguing about it for the next century or so.
