- Where is the Market Bottom?
-
I mentioned in my last post that we are possibly close to a near term bottom, but we need further supporting evidence on the chart to confirm. Well, the market is still continuing its free fall and it seems that no government intervention can put a stop to it at the moment. The above 10 year weekly S&P 500 chart shows that it has broken the 950 level support. Since its a weekly, chart, we will need to see if it can close below 950 on Friday to confirm it has indeed broken. But chances are high that it will now retest the lows we see in 2002 - around the 800 region. Because if it can’t defend the 61.8% Fibonacci, it will usually retrace all the way back. Don’t attempt to catch a falling knife. Wait for confirmation before going long.

30 Point SPX pop as Europe announces they’ll do “whatever it takes”.So have options officially become untradable? I mean volatility is in the stratosphere. But what’s the right play. Do you buy on balance? We had a 1000 point range Friday. A 70 VIX world still doesn’t price that in….

I chose these because each chart’s story is interesting to me. I worked from home on Friday and although I was loosing my shirt on the market, I couldn’t help be realize that the history of this past week and month are fascinating….

- Oh the pain… starting the move to Wordpress it’s not fun
-
I've been looking into how the move to Wordpress would be for several months and have put it off this long because it's such a pain. EVERYTHING is manual and you lose pagerank in the process! I was hoping that something would change by the time I had to do it but no, it's all still the same pain in the ass it was when I planned on doing it a few months ago. But, now time has run out and if I don't get off of Typepad they'll bill be for another year….
