SPN46er's Account Talk

Well...not that I agree or even disagree. I would think that if and just if an internet IPO were going to be successful, this would be the one.

One more reason why I think it may be even worse. So many people will be trying to jump on board and once the money is made it could drop like a rock, but who knows.
 
It's just like any other investment. You have long term and short term investment vehicles. Those that want to buy low and sell high, those that want to hold it as a dividend investment will do so. It's success or failure does not hinge on buy and sell investor. That is determined by its ability to be profitable.
 
Ouch! US Dollar dropped out of the ascending channel. Orange lines are potential support levels. First one would be a gap fill from 11/12/11, second would be where the dollar found support on 11/11/11 and the last would be the top of the gap fill window for 10/31/11. That open gap down at the bottom outside of the channel is still remaining and it may get filled. This should give stocks a boost as they have been trading inversely to the dollar. Also I would watch for a double bottom if the gap gets filled.

Beautiful in-spirit-of-bull flag out of the channel and a nice pop. SPX might end positive for the day afterall.

Here is a look at some Fibonacci retracement levels from the recent downtrend starting at 1333.47 - 1300.49 on the 5 min SPX chart

As you may well be able to see there was initially some sideways action at the .236 retracement level at 1308.27 which eventually broke out and tested the .362 retracement level at 1313.09. The SPX was able to end the day just below this level. If in the next few days we are able to get past the .618 level there is some potential we could see a fresh high.

One thing to take note of however, is that despite the rise off of today's lows the recovery was not seen across most sectors. Only technology and healthcare we able to outperform the S&P today. Financials were the hardest hit today and were unable to recover.

I am currently sitting in cash and have no more IFTs until Wednesday. Although I was late to jump on board this rally this month I was able to pick up a decent 2-day 1.5% scalp in the I Fund. Luckily I was able to get out right at the top and forego the losses of the previous two trading days. I will be looking in early February to ease my way back into stocks when the time is right.

Nice moves...now if only you can repeat 11 more times you will have a very nice return for the year! BTW, I think you can move tomorrow and it will take effect on Wed. Don't quote me on that as I always get that transfer rule mixed up.
 
That sounds about right. Height of the head is approx. 25 pts so 25 down from a 1300 neckline would put it around 1275 for a target.
 
I was thinking H&S too I had the ? on the right shoulder also. Was thinking it triggered yesterday but with the right shoulder top equal with the left shoulder today,I think this is it.

That's funny right after I posted this I looked over on your forum and saw you had mentioned the same thing. Always good when your not seeing something alone! :D
 
uh, supply and demand... of what?
