Quelle Surprise! Not.

And they’re off! Anyone following the Wall Street Examiner Professional Edition Treasury updates showing the massive surge in Federal withholding taxes in January would not have been surprised by today’s jobs report, but most other traders apparently were, as the SPX vaults a dozen points on opening, following a similar surge in the futures...

6 More Weeks of Winter For Bears

Tuesday is groundhog day. Does that mean we can expect more of the same? The cyclical window for a down turn is fast closing. If the 6-7 week cycle turns up, the uptrend could even accelerate. Projections have moved up to 1370 on a 10-12 month cycle basis, and 1390 on the 13 week...

Waiting For Ben’s Dog and Pony Show

SPX (cash) opened weak in a repeat of yesterday’s action, again dropping back to a key trendline. 1310 is now the point at which SPX hits a rising trendline from the December peak that was broken to the upside on January 18. Dropping and holding below that would complete a false breakout, which would...

Long Term Indicators Turn One By One

A pullback is due or overdue in a couple of cycles and there were some hints on Friday that it could be starting. But there was no sign of anything more than a minor pullback or consolidation, and in fact longer term indicators continue to tick to the buy side one by one. Bears...

Same Old Same Old

Having repeated essentially the same analysis and forecast for seemingly the past 10 days, I won’t bore subscribers with more of the same tonight, especially since it’s late and you have enough to digest with the housing report and the free reports on unemployment claims and retail sales.

Tailwind for the New Year

Yesterday’s blastoff means that the bias remains to the upside, this morning’s little giveback notwithstanding.If the bears can’t stop it here, 2012 would have a tailwind for an up year, not because the economy is so great, but because central bank money printing would flow through paper assets.
