Well, once again, no matter how many people think the market is going to go one way, it is determined to go another.

I have only been on the right side of a trade twice this year... Really?

I don't know about any of y'all, but I am so fricken frustrated. Can THAT many people always be wrong?

Unless there is some serious news out soon, we may have just made a lower low confirming a downtrend...

Ok, I need a break. Have a good day everyone.

I think you were on the right side of a trade 2 more times than me this year!!
But what about today....stayed IN (like me) or GOT OUT (like JR)??? :blink:

Big reversal day considering the Dow was down almost 200 at one point...

"U, G, L, Y, you ain't got no alibi, your ugly, absolutely ugly..."

I am taking extra hits of Hopium in "hopes" that the SPX goes up tomorrow and cancels an impending H&S pattern...
UPDATE: H&S IN FORMATION - mirkotoscano - Seeking Alpha

If not, I may sorely wish I wasn't long in this market...

Let's see what happens tomorrow. Things should continue to be interesting and who knows what the markets will do...

Only Time Will Tell.

Good Luck and God Bless!!

Update as Ken moved to a sell last night and posted it this morning...

The signal will stay on a buy; for now...
 
I don't know about y'all, but I don't like headlines like this...

Dow losing streak longest since August 2011


I lost 45% in August last year... and I am currently on the wrong side of this market...

Another reversal day, but not quite the turn around like yesterday... Maybe trading at 1030 in and take a percentage in the opposite direction :suspicious:

OCD moved to a sell after Ken bailed today and seasonality dropped below 50%. John's system bailed Tuesday so OCD was already weak. This is a very shallow Sell signal and any change, even seasonality going above 50%, could put this back into a buy.

Still hitting the Hopium to see if we can reverse this bloodshed long enough for me to get out of my current long trade...

One good sign is that the W4500 ($EMW), Wilshire 4500 (TSP S-Fund-ish), has had 2 long candles (hammer?) in a formation called tweezers bottom candlestick pattern and can be a bullish reversal signal...

As usual, Only Time Will Tell.

Good Luck and God Bless!!
 
Interesting that the 7 Sentinels remains in a buy mode. At #85 on the tracker, it's certainly worthy of everyone's consideration.

The futures are finally looking like they will be positive at an open for a change...lets hope this turns into something positive at the end of the day because my TSP is hurting and my TNA shares need some money back. :)
 
Won't be on today as the Pentagon has decided to block TSPTalk.com and I can't get to the forum by IP... Maybe I will actually work on my paper today and get it done BEFORE the week-end... Have fun everyone !!

Another reversal day, but not quite the turn around like yesterday... Maybe trading at 1030 in and take a percentage in the opposite direction :suspicious:

OCD moved to a sell after Ken bailed today and seasonality dropped below 50%. John's system bailed Tuesday so OCD was already weak. This is a very shallow Sell signal and any change, even seasonality going above 50%, could put this back into a buy.

Still hitting the Hopium to see if we can reverse this bloodshed long enough for me to get out of my current long trade...

One good sign is that the W4500 ($EMW), Wilshire 4500 (TSP S-Fund-ish), has had 2 long candles (hammer?) in a formation called tweezers bottom candlestick pattern and can be a bullish reversal signal...

As usual, Only Time Will Tell.

Good Luck and God Bless!!

RMI I'm still long.
 
JKJ...didn't you just go short two mornings ago? Did the signal switch back?
Your sig still says
Ski ya later. Moving Forward.
The signal for 5/10/12 is Sell

Or are you just being a Smarr@$$ to RMI?


He posted a sell signal, so that is what I put. I am not tracking his personal moves, only his system.

Ken, what's the story?

If I have Ken's signal correct (still not completely sure), then the OCD is still on a sell as no signals changed today.

Today started out pretty promising, but the Hopium ran out as soon as the market opened. The opening candle was pretty much the high of the day, although the market tried to go higher around 1330... to no avail... The market was in a pretty small range, smaller than the last 2 trading days, but the last 2 trading days showed promise as the bulls were able to take potentially damaging days and recover by the end of the day. Not today; my basic understanding made me really feel that today was ruled by the bears. The bulls tried, but the bears just slapped them down. Not promising for tomorrow

What THAT said... JPM is taking a beating because of some bad trading by their investment wing that could cost the company between $800M and $4B in profits for the year. That isn't a lot (1-4%) of a $100B profit for the year; however, it shows that the big banks are still taking too much risk with their money. AND that is something a lot of folks (including the beltway bandits) are very worried about so that we don't have a problem like 2008. So, unless the futures (currently down 10 pts) make a recovery now that the Asian markets are open (can anyone say China data?) and maybe the European markets will push ours back up... I can only assume a gap DOWN tomorrow and a hope for more dip buyers to come and rescue us. Big Ben only has a couple $B or so QE2.5 in his plans for tomorrow, so without a backroom deal in place I can assume tomorrow will be down...

Sucks for my longs...

Still hitting the Hopium to see if we can reverse this bloodshed long enough for me to get out of my current long trade without too much of a loss...

As usual, Only Time Will Tell.

Good Luck and God Bless!!
 
You might have to find yourself a different "12%" to replace him. He mostly posts his signal the next day, which is after the futures are already moving for the day...I know you usually like to post the chart at night, before the next trading day...ah well.

So, I guess since Ken switched back to a Buy and reported it this morning... The OCD is now on a buy I guess...

I usually post at night but I am on vacation.
