Weekly Update 6/27/09




I have the SPY chart up, because I have been seeing an inordinate number of technical blogger's talking about the "possible" head and shoulder's developing in the SPY and SPX. Any time I see this, it raise's a red flag, as naturally, when ever every one see's some thing, it more than likely ain't gonna happen! BUT, my personal take, is that the possiblility is definitely there, and I need to keep it in mind. The "time frame" is showing a "possible" completion toward the end of July or early August, as the left shoulder was about a month long, so the right shoulder "should" be close to the same length. This fit's with me, as next month is earnings season, and by the end of the month, "WE", should have an idea if earnings projection's going forward are going to justify the massive bounce off the March bottom, or if it's just all bull shit, and we head back down into the fall, to bring valuation's back into a more realistic area. By the way, earnings kick off the week after this coming week, with Alcoa reporting on tuesday the 7th. The bulk of earnings starts the following week with GE reporting on monday the 13th, and the NasDog's kicking off with INTC on the next day.

I anticipate the coming week to have a positive baisis, as we alway's seem to have that heading into a Holiday weekend, my only concern may be the reaction on monday morning, to the Cap and Crap TAX passed by Congress yesterday, it will be interesting to see the reaction to it. I personally own a little UNG, trying to make some of my heating bill's for next winter, when they increase about 400%, in the latest BTB tax burden being added to the country, as the Democrap's seem to think that economic's 101 state's that you always raise tax's during the great Recession. I can only imagine that one of the requirement's of the bill will be that all Baby Boomer's over 55 will be required to wear a mask, that force's us to re-inhale the nasty CO2 emmision's we create, that are necessary to keep plant's alive. THIS, of course, will solve all the problem's with Social Security and Medicare, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, NICE FRICKING PLAN BARRACK!!!!!!!

ANYWAY, back to the SPY, I anticipate we probably go up, and get a lot of people to shit can the H&S idea, but as long as we don't take out the high's of the rally, the idea still has merit. The popular Neck Line is at 88, or 880 on the SPX, but I also see a sloping neck line, that will continue to raise the level of a break of that neck line, should we go up. As long as we don't make new high's, or even BETTER, should we go up and then make a lower high before turning down, the neck line to the top of the head is about 7.6 points, or 76 points on the SPX, which would project to a drop of 76 points on the SPX when we break under the 880 level, which takes us down to about 800, or 80 on the SPY. All of this depends on not making new highs, if we do all bet's are off.

One thing I see, is under 88 and we have a lot of "clear air" down to that 80 level, there are a couple of "slowing up" pivot area's, but we would have a decent shot at a pretty fluid move down to that level, should the power's that be, decide to take us there. I circled that little doji on tuesday, as that was a very low risk long entry, in case you were at all interested in the markets. The big move down on monday took us right into a saddle of two Linear Regression channel's, the 60 day and the 40 day, and it was also a back test of the 200 dma, and on tuesday we took the 200 dma out, scared the shit out of everyone, and then closed us higher. A take on the close would have been low risk, with a stop under the LOD, I included the chart of the S&P 500 "Stocks above their 20ma", to show how we got over sold that day as well. Anyway, that was then and this is now, so it don't matter any more.


The daily "7 Day Moves", or swing trade profile, on the MSW, has some interesting idea's, it has the NasDog's, some times called the Q's, as a new buy, while it has the XLK, the same exact thing, accept it has some udder Dog's in it as well, as a new short, PICK'EM, hahahahahahahaha!!!!! One thing it continue's to hate is IBM, in the lower right hand chart, which is a main component of the XLK, and not in the Dog's. It has a new buy on DEB, the Wisdom Tree Europe Dividend fund, I only put that up for Deb. I used the SPY above, rather than the Q's, as the NasDog's are just out of control, with all the bull shit running amuck about the cell phone craze, such as PALM, RIMM, AAPL, I've even seen shit moving like MOT and MRVL, not to mention all the buy recommendations flying around for NOK, TXI, S, etc etc etc. I guess the thesis is, is that with U-6 getting ready to hit 18%, people are going to be buying cell phones like crazy, calling around to try and find job's, rather than use their dwindling funds to buy stupid thing's like, FOOD!!!!! They certainly won't be able to drive around and look for work, no way will they be able to afford the soon to be coming $5/GAL gas, after the Dem's get Cap and Crap passed. I watched interveiw's with three refinery CEO's last night, and they seemed to agree that if the damn thing get's passed, their only option will be to shut down their refineries here, and either just import it, or try and make deal's with third world countries who are dying to have them build new refineries in their countries. Either way, it look's like a stinking great idea.


The weekly MSW is, naturally, completely rebunking my railing above, by insisting I short oil, with new buys on DUG, DDG and ERY, hahahahaha, roach fricking software!!!!! It love's the Euro (IE, it must hate the dollar, which directly contradick's the oil short), and for you people looking for some alpha in the Q's, good luck, it has a short on PQY. The only good thing it did, is that it must have been watching the new's, and is trying to throw it back in the face of the Cap and Crap Dem's, by shorting GWO, the Global Warming ETN, hahahahaha, way to go software!!!!!

My Favorite Days, the FOMC Move

The FOMC announcement creates one of the most consistant pattern's in all of trading, a 1-2-3 move, that begin's with the very first bar after the release of the statement, "around" 2:15pm ET. The last meeting release produced a fairly typical pattern, I described it in a little more detail in this post, http://cluelessqtrader.blogspot.com/2009/04/42909.html , starting with the second paragraph under the 5 minute chart.
This has been working for year's, which mean's of course, it probably won't work worth a crap today, hahahahahahaha!!!! But, it's worth watching, it works best if you have some serious support or resistance points in the area of where the 1-2-3's pivot off of, like in the case of the last meeting the previous day's high's provided the main support area for both the 1st move and the reject move off the second pivot high. A word of caution here, we usually slow to a crawl just before the release of the statement, and then get an extremely whippy move on the first couple of bar's after the release, and can be accompanied by extreme volume surges, which, if you don't have a rocket for a computer, can cause it to shut down, or slow up, PLUS, if you use TradeStation, like I do, they may be slow in getting the order filled, or even WORSE, they may be slow in getting you OUT of the trade, OR, you may get filled, and then the Puter shut's down, leaving you in shit city! My point is, have a back up plan, for instance, I usually enter the order through IB, InterActive Broker's, in case TS freezes up for some reason, the IB platform will usually continue to run, enabling me to get out, even if I don't have any charting. I also keep my position smaller than usual, just in case I get stuck in the position, and it goes against me, at least I won't get slaughtered.
Have fun out there.

?

In case you missed it, I posted this yesterday at the Magic Trading Software updates link on the right, MAGIC TRADING SOFTWARE UPDATE'S , that brainless fricking software get's it right once in a while, hahahahahahaha!! The site will probably only be updated on the weekend's, at least until the blog get's off it's ass and comes back from vacation.

Some body finally put my conspiracy nut thoughts into a video that even I can understand: http://vodpod.com/watch/1544492-money-as-debt



I finally figured out how I plan on exiting gracefully when the time comes. My house is 120 years old, well, You won't believe this, but my toilet tried to electrocute me about two hour's ago, hahahahahahaha!!!! I flipped the handle to flush it, the chain on the ball broke, and then the toilet threw lightening bolts around the inside of it, and the light blub blew up in the ceiling, I guess the plastic arm on the tank handle kept it from getting through to my finger. I think I finally figured it out, I had a piece of tin foil over the top of the flush valve, because it leaked, when I went to change the light bulb, I found out that one of the wires had rotted through, and caused a short in the light fixture. I think that when the chain released from the ball, it flipped up and touched the tin foil, there is a screw head in the top of the flush valve, and it probably made a connection down through the water pipe that feeds it, and if this house is typical, they usually ground the electrical system through the water pipes. HAHAHAHAHAHA, woooooo weeeeee, home sweet home!
