He sends this out through email, and I don't know where to sign up to get on his list? (Someone forwarded it too me). I don't even know if it's private information or not? I don't believe he's charging for it though?
But clearly, he has access to what is going on down on the trading floor. So, I thought I'd post it.
much can be learned by observing the behavior of markets around containment points, the $RUT has been the tell for the last month so we'll focus on it http://www.flickr.com/photos/47091634@N04/44162…
the last 5 days the $RUT has blown through 2 containment points in a uni-directional manner, if you study the above chart very closely you'll see how the $RUT reacts when blowing through consecutive containment points
Now what is interesting to note is the last two times this has happened it's marked an inflection point.
First time it happened was on 9/9/09 & 9/16/09 then the $RUT went on to dance sideways for 5 days which marked a top for 3 months.
Second time this happened was on 10/27/2009 & 10/30/2009, one trading day later on 11/2/2009 the $RUT put in a bottom that has held for 4 months and counting.
At any rate, this week has important implications for longer term setups.
After the pullback… to whatever level it stops at, new highs could happen? The trend is pointing up currently, and the pullback is not likely to change that.
But it could of course? It really depends on how far the pullback takes us? Will it be really shallow and only make it to 111.50, or a little deeper and go to 109.00? If it falls to 104.00 again, I believe the trend will turn down at that point.
I'd like to see that, but I don't know if it will go that far down? I see some type of pullback coming… how deep is another question?
A smaller pullback would keep the uptrend intact. If that happens, then we will most likely break the 1150 top this Spring and Summer.
Yes, a sad day for the bears. I think the bears should just take the next 6 months off, and wait for this fall. It should be exciting about then.
This is not something people want to hear, especially not those with a bearish bias. The truth is, the market is experiencing an extremely bullish momemtum acceleration. What this means is every pullback will be bought and a new high followed. Short term it is overbought and a sharp pullback is expected. But following the pullback will be a catapult to a new high.
We have a runaway train accelerating downhill. It will crash a lot of bears. If you are short and the goddess Fortuna smiles upon you, then count your blessing, don't fight the reversal that follows.
I hope this helps to shed some light on what comes next. If this helps to spare some pain in the months ahead, be sure to donate to Anna's animal rescue fund (over at HOB).
Duh… I should have known that! But I never hold that long… That's a lifetime to me. I swing trade options only, so I'm either in cash or an option spread… but never stock. Thanks for the update.

Gm, Sundancer, Thanks for the update. Up or sideways is my guess.

Thanks gc
Thanks Earl
Does that mean they will pay me back 50%… since I lost money this year, instead of making a profit? LOL.
Profits on futures traded on indices instantly get 50% of their value treated as long term capital gains.
No kidding. Wish i had some of them there profits!
