I’ve been publishing The Wall Street Examiner and its predecessor since October 2000. I also publish LiquidityTrader.com, and was lead analyst for Sure Money Investor, of blessed memory. I developed David Stockman’s Contra Corner for Mr. Stockman. I’ve had a wide variety of finance related jobs since 1972, including a stint on Wall Street in both sales, analytical, and trading capacities. Prior to starting the Wall Street Examiner I was a commercial real estate appraiser in Florida for 15 years. I was considered an expert in the analysis of failed properties that ended up in the hands of bank REO divisions, the FDIC, and the RTC. Remember those guys? I also worked in the residential mortgage and real estate businesses in parts of the 1970s and 80s. I have been charting stocks and markets and doing analytical work since I was a teenager. I’m not some Ivory Tower academic, Wall Street guy. My perspective comes from having my boots on the ground and in the trenches, as a real estate broker, mortgage broker, trader, account rep, and analyst. I’ve watched most of the games these Wall Street wiseguys play from right up close. I know the drill from my 55 years of paying attention. And I’m happy to share that experience with you, right here.

Trade The Range – Here’s How

Lee Adler

The market held at support and immediately rebounded to the top of the trading range and a bit more last week. But trend resistance lines around 3350 were not violated. A failure to penetrate that area would leave the market vulnerable to a decline back to the bottom of the range around 3215.

I have suggested a trade that would profit hugely from that scenario, if it plays out, of course.

S&P 500 Futures Chart

Surprise (Not) Rocket Launch from Support – Stock Market Trading Setup for Tuesday February 4

Lee Adler

S&P futures are bonering. They hit support yesterday, and surprise, surprise, the dip buyers were out in force. Well, not a surprise actually if you recognize that the Fed pumping $100 billion a month into dealer trading accounts permanently tilts the playing field. Doesn’t mean that the market can’t go down, just that it probably won’t stay down for long.
