Thanks CB. Glad you're enjoying the thread.

Remember when IBD issued a "Market in Confirmed Downtrend" a couple weeks ago?

Here's the latest IBD signal:

"Market in Confirmed Uptrend." called by IBD on November 9, 2009 SPX 1092

ok looks like I may have messed up a bit: yesterday I bought some SDS. Some stuff I have been working on recently gave me a sell signal yesterday, I am thinking we will take a dip for a bit then crank up again.
Guess we will find out soon.

By the way I like the 50 sma and 200 sma crossover charts by JTH. Would definitely simplify things, good long term strategy.

Flying to San Diego today, so my posting will be limited this week. I'll be at the Ramada at Hotel Circle if anyone's interested in a beer.

How bout' them Chargers! :nuts:

One of these days I will enjoy having a beer with you! Enjoy your trip and stay safe.

That'd be great! I'm enjoying the nice San Diego weather now. That's the one thing I really miss about this place.

Hmmmm...I always wonder about reports like this given the negative ones regarding China's export numbers. I guess they're working on "infrastructure".

I'm seeing a lot of bearish posts on trading boards too.

BTW, this blogger is in the neutral to bullish camp.

That's classic for another bull leg run.

I like his thought about shorts... and then IYBs commentary followed with his signature of where we stand in the short/med/long term. To me, that shows how shorts and skepticism are used to propel the early stages of a bull market by the bigger money that can draw historical conclusions and perspectives. The chart itself is nice too, except that if you draw the line from the other high point to the swing highs in the bear move, I don't think we're quite there on the Russell 3000 breakout... is it just me or is that line a tad off?

Took profits today. All G. Charts may be beginning to roll over. The one caveat is that since this is OPEX the real selling may not kick in till next week, so we may get a higher pop by Friday. I'm not quick enough or confident enough to take that chance.

I'm staying right where I am at 65C/20S/15I until the VIX drops further.

I see its dropped a little lately. Can you explain a little about the VIX and why it is important?

Looks like its been awhile since its dropped below 20.
