$POT Long to $98
$BIDU $316 still the bumper on this. Short below 326 to near 324 or if opens below 324 target the 321 area. Long above $332 to about 336-338.60 area with breakout above $333

$OIH break above 103 tro aboout 104 - 105 Short below 101.50 to about 100 breaking below to 98 area
Posted 08/18/09 01:08PT
Several setups with roughly the same story : $AA $AXP $HON $HPQ $IP held by the 18 dma break now below, could drop further toward the 50dma support.
$GE was held in in by the jaw formed by the 18&200 dma' s and needs to break upside or down to escape. There's a gap to fill either way.
$DV is strongly supported by the 200 and 18 dma. and formed a double bottom, yet finishing on the low end of the day, further decline is possible to mid $49 range and a breakdown to mid $48 range below.
$JPM doesn't look too convinced about the correction here and needs to lose the 18dma and drop below the $40 to retest the $38 area. Wait for the conviction of the "sell sell sell". First drop target most likely to the $39. There's a small gap to fill to the upside, which may give it enough courage to retest the $42+ area on a bounce.
$MCD 18dma trendline down possible with to base test and breakdown to about $53.50 a pop up above the 18 to about $56 with $56.60 holding the upside line of this range
$PG not looking too happy here, possible to retest the $54 and equally possible to test the $51 again, whereupon if market is weak, it could go all the way to the $50 area.

Kind of Blue but Oh so Cool
Originally released by Columbia Records on August 17, 1959, Kind of Blue heralded the arrival of a revolutionary new American music, a post-bebop modal jazz structured around simple scales and melodic improvisation. Trumpeter/band leader/composer Miles Davis assembled a sextet of legendary players -- Cannonball Adderley (alto sax), Paul Chambers (bass), Jimmy Cobb (drums), John Coltrane (tenor sax), Bill Evans (piano) (Wynton Kelly plays piano on “Freddie Freeloader") -- to create a sublime atmospheric masterpiece. Fifty years after its release, Kind of Blue continues to transport listeners to a realm all its own while inspiring musicians to create to new sounds -- from acoustic jazz to post-modern ambient -- in every genre imaginable.
Though precise figures have been disputed, Kind of Blue has been cited by many music writers not only as Davis's best-selling album, but as the best-selling jazz record of all time. On October 7, 2008, it was certified quadruple platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It has been regarded by many critics as the greatest jazz album of all time and Davis's masterpiece, and it has been ranked at or near the top of several "best album" lists in disparate genres. The album's influence on music, including jazz, rock and classical music, has led music writers to acknowledge it as one of the most influential albums of all time. In 2002, it was one of fifty recordings chosen that year by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry. (Source Wikipedia Encyclopedia)
This album is the perfect example of perfection. It is proof of timeless creation. Enjoy this classic at your leisure and let me know what you think. Anni

How Long Can This Euphoria Last?
It may go to 10,000 to 10,500. The only thing I'm sure of is that it won't do it in one day; or will it?
This market feels so manipulated that I won't be surprised at anything. Of course, when the Government is in control, one might as well study the stars, not the charts. A rocket eventually runs out of fuel and falls away from the vessel it propels into space, I suggest traders on that vessel to prepare for an inevitable return back to earth. That is unless, you trust the government to take care of all your ills, aches and pains upon your landing. Now that's something we can all stand behind: A traders bailout package. Yeah Government!
Who knows when it'll happen. Right now it looks like it has been cleared to reach 9600 without a hitch then 9800 so enjoy the ride, and I'll see you when you get back.
I, for one, need some time off. Does the market feel the same?
Happy Living, Trading and Dancing.
