Before the Open (Jul 30)

in Before the Open

Good morning. Happy Friday.

The Asian/Pacific markets closed mostly down – there were no big losers. Europe is currently down across the board with relatively smallish losses. Futures here in the States point towards a gap down open for the cash market.

It’s been a trying week for the bulls. It started with a mini uptrend in place, and after some follow through Monday, we’ve had 3 days of selling. The losses aren’t great, but they’ve been enough to shake the confidence of the bulls.

Here’s the weekly S&P…not what the bulls were hoping for coming off a week that closed above 1100.

If the market is strong, if the S&P is going to move up to 1200, the bulls need to step up soon. A little give back is fine. A big give back is not. Play good defense here, and watch for a possible washout soon. More after the open.

  1. Merely another buying opportunity.
    The media loves trashing this market.
    Meanwhile, with housing prices going back to normal prices, we call it a crisis.
    And if smokes go back to a buck a pack, would that be a disaster.
    Or a Ford Mustang for 3500 (1964 price) we would run to the dealer.
    One inning does not make a ball game.
    And one report will be a memory three days from now.
    Look, you have to decide what is your economic look. Only you. Not me or some guru.
    I just have not seen so many “doom and gloom” books on the shelf of Barnes and Noble in a long time.

      It’s not my outlook that matters it’s what I perceive the market’s outlook to be. You seem to be a bit Narcissistic.

  2. Oh my Gawd, an attack.
    Let’s try and not turn this into anything more than just my opinion.
    I do not see how saying :o nly you not me or some guru.
    But what the heck do I know, I just trade the stuff.
    I told people I was long Apple and St Jude.
    I am merely a guest on this site.
    Maybe I should just
    follow Crammer.

    Neal…..if you perceive the market’s outlook, your perception is biased because it is merely your point of view.
    perception is based on one’s bias. I can’t even spell narcissstic.

  3. Thanks for your response, maybe we can help the Levitt Bros open a Deli
