The Daily Outlook - $DJIA $SPX $NDX A Cold Wind Blows

Tweet *****Yes, but not so fast. Yes, we did finally drop below the 13800 but then just listen to the rest of the view, for a fresh perspective. Like with cold wind up on the mountains, some may have caught cold. Truth being of course that a pullback is welcome and healthy for these markets, but if it catches pneumonia, watch out below.

The Weekly Outlook - $DJIA $SPX $NDX Sway with Me

Tweet ***** Look at the video for the full story. It's more of the same until we hit that catalyst or until we get tired of waiting for one. As always it's best to sway to the rhythms and music of the day. Remember that you can dance staying in place and in fact some of the most moving dances take place in just a square feet of floor.  Like the Rumba  ... Sway with Me

The Daily Note - $DJIA $SPX $NDX Panic Not Yet

Tweet ***** There is a lot of "fire and brimstone" talk on the streams about the markets but even with my pessimism about this economy, it's still not time to panic. All we have to do is take a more sober look at the charts of $DJIA $SPX $NDX  for some realism. I have reviewed these charts over and over again an keep coming to the same conclusion.

Until the Fed. pulls the rug and admits how bad off we are, or some other serious threat surfaces, this market has strength.  Does it need a pullback and a retest of certain areas? The answer is yes but, even with those tests, the strength will remain in my opinion until and unless there is realization that we've been duped or worse about our economy. After all, 14 trillion dollars worth of debt and counting is nothing to sneeze at yet it's not even considered on a daily basis. On the other hand, we, the people are convinced to be worried about a few billion dollars worth of budget cuts as if that will bring on Armageddon.

It is also true that we can be duped and still continue with strength because people en masse wish not to admit to being had and wish only to continue with the business of living.  The QEs were a great way to cover up the reality of our debt and maybe avoided serious panic. True also is that  most likely the current generations will be willing to endure this debt even longer.  Often, sadly,  it takes several new generations to wake up the living to how their predecessors were misled. One just never knows how much or how long a people are willing to endure their own self created suffering. Perhaps for as long as 75 years like with the USSR and let's face it, by that time we'll be gone.

So in conclusion, is it a serious threat? Yes. Is it time to panic yet? No. So push on through and let's just "Keep on Movin"

The Weekly Outlook - $DJIA Still in Lead

Tweet ***** Watching the $DJIA has not led me wrong or led me down, while watching the SPX has me more cautious. Why? Because many or most prefer to watch the $SPX which increases the volatility in my opinion.  That does not mean that the DJIA is not affected but because there is less volatile trading within, it sails calmer waters. Consider it while you're considering which way to run with the markets.

The Daily Note - $DJIA $SPX $NDX A Last Look

Tweet *****Before the holiday weekend that is.  The tight ranges create frustration mostly with traders, others just keep observing and look with amusement on those who are troubled.  It's best to wait it out and quit expecting big moves.  If there will be a big move there has to be a catalyst  and then  the question is whether we'll hear about it in time before the move happens.

Remember also that it's a big holiday weekend and that most people have their focus elsewhere. So why not you? Go, have fun, and let the markets be markets.. eventually it will join the party too

The Weekly Outlook - $AAPL My Funny Valentine

Tweet ***** It may have been a long time since AAPL returned the love that many have bestowed upon her and you may be wondering if ever she'll return your love.  I cannot speak for how she feels about you but can only look at the signals she gives off, a good way to measure her true intentions for sure;

Even if it's not what you wish to hear, it's truly best for your future to listen and then make up your mind.  If you are hoping for some good news here, I can only say that the circumstances have not changed yet and you may have to grin and bear another downturn. I don't recommend any drastic moves, just watch the tape and keep eye on a couple of key support & breakout levels before deciding to stick with it or break up. Then, enjoy your Valentine with who you truly love.



Happy Trading, Living and Valentines

The Weekly Outlook - Dancing with $DJIA $SPX $NDX

Tweet *****Seems like the hesitation waltz or maybe the two step. A little of both really. In truth there are several encouraging signs showing on the charts but we have to still remember that we are near an all time high test therefore extra volatility is expected. Extra caution is also recommended. In short, enthusiasm or exuberance tempered ...



and with patience dance ~ one, two, three, one, two, three  :)
Enjoy your weekend and enjoy all that you do. Life's too short to wait.

The Daily Note - The Art of Pickin' a Trade Part I

Tweet ***** Many people post their daily picks on StockTwits and Twitter and many hit as well as miss in their forecast. Nobody is different in that. Picking stocks to trade however is not as easy a throwing a dart or  I should say it is as hard as throwing a dart.

Time investment is just one part of studying charts. It's practicing, or testing, that helps to improve your skill and it's daring to execute your conviction which reaps the results.  To become  good at pickin' a trade you must commit yourself to the art daily.

Often traders say they "should have just thrown a dart at the list", but usually that works when the market is moving, reacting equally well and therefore no matter which stock we pick the results are good. When markets are moving in unison traders should do well, if they are in on the right side of the market, no matter which stock they pick.

The difficulty comes when not everything is going the same way. Like today, the markets are in the red, yet many of us are enjoying the bull on equities pushing higher. As in darts, if you played the game, you know that hitting that one wedge on the board is difficult enough but then try to hit the double or the triple for better score is where skill, practice and talent shows.

When looking for a trade, getting the entry right is just one part of the story. Like in a dart game, we have to get the entry correct (double on) but once that hits, do you know which way we wish to travel to get that perfect out?  Targets and exits are equally important and knowing that part is where the art of real stock pickin' lays.

The Daily Outlook - $DJIA All Time High?

Tweet ***** I hear that for the $DJIA this month has been the strongest and fastest rising January since 1994. It's certainly has been the leader, now we'll see if Friday's numbers will be able to punch it through to test the all time high. It's expecting a bit much for one day in my opinion, but then, as recently evidenced, bad numbers or good the market will usually do what  the consensus wants. So hold on tight, and let's watch to see if it can change what has gone before.
