bespokeinvest.typepad.com - Dec 17, 2008   about  SPY
As we noted yesterday, the S&P 500 recently closed above its 50-day moving average for the first time since late September. This break above resistance is a positive technical formation, and it also coincides with a breakout above the index's recent highs, which is another technical positive. Pr...

The US Federal Reserve pulled out all the stops yesterday in a frantic effort to save the US economy from collapse and stem the deflationary forces. The Fed funds rate was slashed from 1% to a target range between 0 and 0.25% – the lowest the central bank’s key rate has been since records began in 1...

Last night I looked at all times since 1982 the S&P 500 rose 1% or more on a Fed day and closed at a 10-day high:The edge isn’t as prevalent initially, but over the next 2 weeks a downside tendency can be observed. Not shown above is that 70% of all instances closed below the close of the Fed da...

For all the talk about the auto bailout fiasco, a little more than two hours into the final trading session of the week finds the markets relatively unchanged since last Friday. As I type this the SPX is hovering around the 862 mark, down about 1.5% for the week. Interestingly enough, the VIX has a...

As we wrote yesterday [Make or Break Time for some ETFs - China Ignoring News as Well]After such a large move up in a short period of time - a healthy action would be a retrace to S&P 870 or 840, some consolidation sideways, and then a new leg up for a final Santa Claus rally.So we have our firs...

For the last three weeks, I have been impressed by the confidence and resolve shown by the bulls as they have consistently used pullbacks to flood the market with new long positions. Perhaps algorithms have no fear… More recently, however, as the bull leg has stalled around the SPX 900 mark, I have...

The main issue is the market is still in the middle of a downward sloping channel. Until me get out of this channel we're in for boring update. However, notice the following:-- All the SMAs except the 10 day SMA are moving lower-- The shorter SMAs except for the 10 day SMA are below the longer SMA...

The market has bottomed, I believe, for 2008.  However, we are still in a bear market until proven otherwise.  And given the difficulties the economy is still facing, I am skeptical that the ultimate bottom has been put in place.  I am working from the thesis that after a substantial bear market ral...
