NO HOILDAY FOR THE MARKETS It’s a general rule that the markets tend to rally around the end and the beginning a new quarter. Sometimes they rally into long holiday weekends too. Well, this time we got both and the markets didn’t rally on either occasion. On the 8:30 open Friday morning the SPU opened at the 1026.00 to 1026.50 level. After that the SPU made its daily high at 1028.70 then slowly but surely made several new lows all the low down to 1011.00, traded side ways until catching bid going into the 3:00 cash close only to fall back and settle at 1014.30, down 7.50 handles on the 3:15 futures close. The end the markets are doing what they do best now. They rally a bit then sell off. The price action is in stone and if you have been playing it that way our hat is off to you. Last week the cash S&P closed down about 5%. As of Fridays close the SPU is 16% off its APR 23rd high. The DOW finished out the week down 4.5% or off 457 points, its worst weekly performance since the MAY 6th FLASH CRASH. The NASDAQ finished the week down the worst, down 5.9%. In the end, yes we could blame it on the job numbers but in all honesty it was one bad number after another all week long. And you know what? It actually felt like all the numbers were going to come in bad. In terms of the markets over all tone the markets just could not “hold the rally” In terms of the overall trade it was some what busy all week. Below is the S&P futures closes. It’s not pretty. What else is not pretty is what Bob Prechter is saying. He is convinced we have “entered a market decline of staggering proportions” – perhaps the biggest of the last 300 years. We don’t know about that but what we do know is the markets have hat fared well over the last couple of weeks. Starting back on APR 26th and APR 27th the SPU started to sell off. Over the last 47 trading days 30 have closed lower. In the short run the SPU has been down 9 out of the last 11 days or it has close lower 5 days in a row or right and has lost around 100 handles in the last 9 down days. You do the math things are shrinking fast.

It’s Monday night and so far the Nikkei dropped to a 6 month low and European shares fell to a 6 week low and at 7:20 pm the SPU is down 6.75 at 1007.50. Its now Tuesday morning and the SPU is up 11 handles at the 1125.50 level, crude is up .68 cents and the EURO is up 38. The main head line out this is “Bargain Hunters Lift World Markets” that the markets are up as investors anticipate Wall Street gains. In Asia 11 out of 11 markets closed higher. In Europe 10 out of 10 markets are trading higher. After 5 down days in a row the markets are going to gap sharply higher. The markets are long over due for a push up but buying them up 10 or 11 handles based on the current price action is a hard way to go. Our call? We think we are seeing the beginning of a big up day. But we can not rule out a sell off or two.
