3/10/08
Last friday the stock market did not meet my expectation that selloff hard. But my source said the non-farm payroll number(-77k) was very close to the real data posted(-63k) Today, market just keep trading what the trend saying- DOWN. FRE, FNM, C, BSC,MER,LEH,...etc are in all fresh 52weeks lows today and drag down the DOW close at 11740 ( about 100 points away from Jan lows-11650) Let see if we have buyers coming in around the top 11650 area, otherwise it will hit the next mark around 11000-11200 level. Suggest investors avoid longing any banking or financial stocks currently even it seems they are very CHEAP. I seldom give trade idea but BIDU is worth to say since this is the last daring in the Wall street. BIDU has not been trading downward with last 2 weeks significantly compare with other big names..appl...goog...rimm...fslr... Also, BIDU is forming an triangle on daily chart. If it breaksout up, it will running at least 30 points higher. If it goes the other way, very likely break 225 support and may sink much lower to 200 level. Good trading this week. Retail index and CPI are to be announced Thursday & Friday.

Ready for retest
3/6/08
With Dow sitting slightly above 12000, USD/JPY is making fresh new high for JPY. Stock market is ready to retest the 1/08 lows 11650-11700 level very soon. Tomorrow, Non-farm payroll(NFP)
index will be announced 7:30am central time and estimate is +30k jobs created for Feb. If the actual number is way below the mark(on negative side I have my source say -77k), huge stock decline and probably test the 11600-11700 area. Plus,with certain technical level/condition met, stock may bounce back to build a hammer candlestick pattern. If the NFP is much better than estimate, expect market would rally around to 12300-12350 area. Last case, stock selloff huge to 11600 or maybe lower cause nasday 100 index is just barely sitting to solid support 1700 level,if it trades deeply lower to 1600-1650 then I expect we may not have good bounce rally. Also, see the USD/JPY to which level to alter the trend then market has a chance to bounce from deep selloff.
Good luck to whoever long stocks

Buffet say recession word
3/3/08
The great investor in the world Warren Buffet said US economy is already in recession today. More and more people can feel the economy is getting worse recently and I pointed that month ago that stock market index made bearish move(keep rolling down monthly). Today, Nasdaq made another lows of the year. Dow transportation index hit the good support index 8900 (Dow 12175) to end the last few days selloff. Watch Dow 12365(+/-25 pts) as next resistance tomorrow. The most important economic data would be the non-farm payroll this friday and if it falls out of expectation, market probably start another round of selloff. Although estimate predict number would be on + 30k but I find a more reliable resource that the number would be around -77k. But I still stand my view that the Dow must need test the Jan lows(11650).

Bloodbath selloff
2/29/08
As expected, Dow reached the resistance point area 12750 then big selloff kickin and today closed at barely above 12250(closed 12266). The Nasdaq finished at 2271 a 17-week low and has broken down the triangle formation. Gold keep rising to 1000, Crude oil trading above 100 for few days and US dollar sinking to historical low. GDP on last quarter of 2007 is barely up 0.6% which the growth has stalled. More fearful economical effects will be coming and I will mention on the following:
It is about $45 trillion of credit default swaps out in the financial market. A default on a merely 10% would cause an economic disaster and I strongly believe it will happen. The whole downtrend for economic and stock market have just met the first quarter of the down ride. Here I quoted his from other blog "The credit swaps on MBIA, Ambac, and the homebuilders trade deep into junk, some priced outright for default. Is there any wonder Moody's, Fitch, and the S&P are reluctant to downgrade MBIA and Ambac? The ratings assigned to Ambac and MBIA are a joke." If MBIA & Ambac got downgraded by any rating firms, it will cause huge decline for stock market.
Keep in short, I believe Stock market is going into downward spiral and we will see the Dow trade below 1/2008 lows and heading into 11000 mark first. The burst started from summer of 2007 and it seems to me the downside ride has finished about quarter. There are more severe quarter road to walk. Happy trading in March.

More rate cut likely
2/27/08
Investors just need to take some profit after 3 days rally breakout from triangle formation that I mentioned from last post. Also, Dow is hitting the resistance level 12750 and formed bearish doji star candlestick pattern. But if Dow trade above 12750 and lasting long enough, it is very bullish side for equities. Also, US dollar is breaking history lows compare with other major currencies, like Euro/US trade above 1.50 level and Crude oil is trading above 100 for 2 days. With high inflationary pressure, high commodities and energy price, us economy is entering stagflation likely.

Big move coming very soon
2/22/08
The Dow has been trading in range this week. Technically, the DOW has formed a triangle shape started around end of 12/2007 and it shows reaching the apex of this triangle chart pattern as of end closing of today. Eventually, market either move breakout upside or breakdown in relative bigger movement. If it break upward, retest 12750 or 13000 is very possible. But, I think it will break down to retest NY composite index 8750 area(DOW 12000-12050) and more like retest 1/2008 lows area, even worse it will crash new lows to 11000 level as my primary. I have following reasoning to support my current bearish view.
The NYA index vs. its long term relative strength...has been weak that RSI index has been valued under 50(which consider is bearish) since 11/2007. Also, the inflowing/outflowing of liquidity in the market has been showing weakness in inflowing. So, the Dow/S&P chart pattern are showing in triangle formation where bulls or bears will be in control very soon.
