Stock Market Day Trader update -data point 05 November 2009-
...everthing sweet and the SPX continues its rally from Mon *1029 Low as epected but -upticks remain corrective- as the Trin dodgedly refused to move out of neutral into bullish territory throughout the session for now; on the other hand, uptick buying power is apparent and daily New Highs are slowly building -someone is either buying carefully without driving the market into a frenzy or institutions are carefully allowing the retail investor to drive the market higher and stealhlike selling into the rally- take a look at today's volume divergencehttp://i36.tinypic.com/2wcpfz7.jpg
...as a consequence, the current advance could still be part of an oversold corrective bounce to challenge the Oct 29 High *1067 or the Oct 22 Low *1074 or given the current momentum, the Oct 26 Congestion *1084 in the next 24 hours before topping out; please note that the test in the Core Holdings is still continuing as it appears that institutions wait for tomorrows unemployment data;
...failure near or below *1067/*1084 tomorrow should trigger a much more aggressive sell-off over the next few weeks with the Oct 02 Low *1020 as an initial target; taking out *1020 on a Close basis should accelerate losses toward the Jun High *956 initially with potential to retest the Jul Low *869 before year-end
...initiating a short position at *1084 -to cover downside risk on equity exposure for now- but if *1084 is taken out, the market most likely will take on the Oct 21 High *1101 with potential for a new recovery High target SPX 500 *1230
SPX 500 Hedge Study: -data point 05 November 2009-
...To Be or Not To Be LONG – CASH – SHORT
...the bounce in the SPX 500http://i36.tinypic.com/10gjyo1.jpgover the last three days was characterized by contracting NYSE volume; holding a long position in the 'High Risk Zone'would have netted approx. 10 points (buy *1034/*1035)
...market action turned south and closed below the 50-day MA and the primary March uptrend line to end the session on a bearish note; risk lingers, that the short term bounce could already have topped today; 'High Risk Zone' uncertainty
Market Commentary -data point 05 November 2009-
Eric Sprott & David Franklin: Surreality Check -Dead Government Walking- http://www.marketfolly.com/2009/11/d...edge-fund.html ...The equity market performance in November 2007 masked the underlying problems plaguing the financial system at the time, and it’s blindingly apparent that it is doing the same again today. The government has assumed most of the financial system’s liabilities in a giant game of ‘kick the can’. The calls for a new bull market are coming fast and furious. Market participants are bidding up the stocks of companies that are demonstrably bankrupt, and government balance sheets have ballooned to unforeseen levels. As respected market commentator David Rosenberg recently wrote, “the stock market is divorced from economic reality”.1 It’s time for another surreality check, but this time it isn’t the publicly traded companies that deserve attention, it’s the governments that have saved them. Make no mistake – the dead men are still walking – they’re just a lot bigger now than they were two years ago, and they don’t generate earnings – they print money and tax their citizens

...For the first time in a long time, we are thinking about that prospect described above — not that inflation is an immeditate threat but, at the margin, it could surprise us earlier rather than later. So, it may not be a bad idea to look at hedges from all sources — expanding the exposure to gold and commodities, and even TIPS and real return bonds that offer what gold does not — an income stream. Just a thought
