After watching the bulls scramble for the exists last Friday, to see the kind of rebound the following week is incredibly disheartening for the bears. Nonetheless, the pieces remain in place, for this market to head lower, and the NYSE Reversal Indicator supports as much too. Should the market finish [...]
If the market is going to  continue going up next week (which I am betting against it doing, but who knows, the S&P could see 180,000 before there is a real pullback), the six stocks below are some of the best setups to have on your radar for profiting from [...]
This is worth taking a look at, to see a visual of the S&P on the weekly chart, and show just how similar in scale, slope, and pattern the market action of this rally off of the September lows is to the rally we saw from January through August of [...]

Not a lot of movement by the markets today, but like I said in the morning trading plan, we usually never see an advancement in stocks right after it breaks out above the upper bollinger-band on the S&P. In fact, it usually leads to a fair amount of profit taking [...]
