    ...as expected, the SPX 500 surged higher on super bullish internals most likely determined to challenge the 50% retracement of the 2007-2009 break *1122 after the Sept. 30 2008 High *1107 was left behind easily
    ...still, the Nasdaq and SPX 500 keep lagging behind the Dow as a First since March 2009 and that remains a strange set up for this advance coupled with ongoing ultra low volume; no doubt, the 50% Fibonacci a formidable ceiling
    ......failure in the *1107/*1122 range will ignite a rather severe down slide to challenge the Oct Low *1020 initially and a penetration of *1020 on a close-basis should drive losses toward the June High *956 with potential to retest the July Low *869

    Market Commentary -data point 16 November 2009-

    David Rosenberg: https://ems.gluskinsheff.net/Article...ave_111609.pdf ...As an aside, S&P 500 operating earnings are coming in north for $15 for Q3, a quarter in which GDP growth came in at a 3.5% annual rate. Few believe we will sustain that growth rate but think about it for a second, the best we could do with 3.5% growth was an annualized earnings figure of $60 for operating EPS. So where does this thought process come from that we are going to be seeing anything close to $80 of earnings for 2010 — what the equity market has de facto priced in — with a consensus view that we will only see 2.5% GDP growth for next year?

    Stock Market Day Trader update -data point 17 November 2009-

    ...the USD gained ground overnight but still trading below the 0.76 mark, well within the triangle set-up
    ...the SPX 500 trading off Monday's High *1114 moving down in a corrective fashion as opposed to plunging based on rather neutral market internals; potential to challenge the 50% retracement of the 2007-2009 Break *1122 in the next couple of days is therefore still in play
    ...a technical SPX 500 perspective:
    -above the 2007/2009 primary bear line resistance
    -below 50% Fibonacci
    -below May/June/August/September/October trendline resistance
    ...at this stage taking out the 50% Fibonacci and upper trendline resistance decisively would land the index in 'Blow-Off' territory and as a result, it is not hard to imagine that 1122/*1146 will form formidable ceiling targets from which the index could start a deeper correction
    ...failure in the *1107/*1122 range will ignite a rather severe down slide to challenge the Oct Low *1020 initially and a penetration of *1020 on a close-basis should drive losses toward the June High *956 with potential to retest the July Low *869

    …in the same way the USD has room for another spike lower, the SPX 500 index has room for another spike higher, especially as volume accumulated around the *1108/*1109 level yesterday but another up-move is far from certain;

    Stock Market Day Trader update -data point 18 November 2009-

    ...based on current market internals, downticks today point to ongoing consolidation in the SPX 500 below the November 16 High *1114 and as long as *1101 remains respected, the potential to challenge the 50% retracement of the 2007-2009 Break *1122 or the May/June/August/September/October trendline resistance *1143 further up in the next couple of days is still in play
    ...todays disappointing housing data did not inspire much confidence in the market, the USD so far refuses to break below the 75 level likely based on concerns of entering a very crowded trade on the short side and the index enters just about 'Blow-Off' territory on further upside
    ...as a consequence, the 50% Fibonacci and upper trendline resistance *1122/*1146 will form formidable ceiling targets from which the index could start a deeper correction
    ...failure in the *1107/*1122 range will ignite a rather severe down slide to challenge the Oct Low *1020 initially and a penetration of *1020 on a close-basis should drive losses toward the June High *956 with potential to retest the July Low *869

    SPX 500 Hedge Study: -data point 18 November 2009- ...To Be or Not To Be LONG – CASH – SHORT-

    ..ending the day 1 up on internals that favored selling, the SPX 500 seems to be in no-mans-land (or consolidating) for the expected spike up to *1122; for this spike to happen, the index needs to trade past *1107 and whatever downside will happen intraday, *1101 short term support should not be penetraded

    "How much of the rebound in real GDP was due to the fiscal stimulus, and where do we stand in terms of the effects of stimulus thus far?* Although precise answers are impossible at this juncture, several aspects of the report are consistent with our estimates that the fiscal package enacted in mid-February as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) would have accounted for virtually all of the growth reported for the third quarter."

    ...the SPX 500 broke through *1102 to the downside unable to even try the November 16 High *1114 indicating a delay to challenge the 50% retracement of the 2007-2009 Break *1122 or the May/June/August/September/October trendline resistance *1143 further up
    ...at this stage the down-move remains corrective to the November 6 High *1071, the maximum down target for another bullish advance, but the next closer technical target to act as a platform could be the March primary up-trend line *1083/September 23 High *1080 range

    ...short update:

    ...the SPX 500 seems still a bit soft but according to internals some buying interest around the current levels, maybe taking a position ahead of a possible *1102 challenge Monday; USD stronger and testing 50-day MA; other than that the Friday up-date remains current for now

With the Democrats backing-off on a second round of stimulus, the Fed signaling an end to quantitative easing, and Obama moaning about rising deficits; there's a good chance that the stumbling recovery could turn into another sharp plunge. Bank lending is shrinking, consumers spending is off, housing prices are falling, unemployment is soaring and the wholesale credit markets are in a shambles. This isn't the time to slash government support in the name of "fiscal responsibility". Obama needs to ignore the gloomsters and alarmists and pay attention to the Nobel laureates like Joe Stiglitz and Paul Krugman. They're the guys who know how to steer the ship to safe water...

    ...if the break-out is to the upside, the potential for a false break will be greatly reduced with an USD index Close above a minimum *76.85

    The Economist: The deficit problem -Dealing with America's fiscal hole- http://www.economist.com/opinion/dis...ry_id=14915152 ...A sudden crisis is unlikely. Other rich countries with far bigger debts relative to the size of their economies, from Italy to Japan, have soldiered on without hitting a wall. Stable politics, transparent laws and economic dominance give America unequalled credibility with lenders. For all the anxiety the declining dollar drew from China this week, it has no serious rival as the world’s reserve currency. America has sensibly used this fiscal freedom to enact an aggressive stimulus programme. This should be maintained for as long as it is needed....
