But what's next?

Stock Barometer Analysis
The barometer remains in Sell Mode.
The Stock Barometer is my proprietary market timing system. The direction,
slope and level of the Stock Barometer determine our outlook. For example,
if the barometer line is moving down, we are in Sell Mode. A Buy or Sell
Signal is triggered when the indicator clearly changes direction.
Stock Barometer Cycle Time
Today is day 8 in our down cycle.
The Stock Barometer signals follow 5, 8, 13, 21 and sometimes 34 day Fibonacci
cycles that balance with 'normal' market cycles. Knowing where you are in
the current market cycle is important in deciding how long you expect to
maintain a position.
Potential Cycle Reversal Dates
2008 Potential Reversal Dates: 12/31, 1/11, 2/1, 2/13, 3/6, 4/5, 4/22, 5/23,
6/6, 6/27, 7/13, 9/2. We publish these dates up to 2 months in advance.
I think 7/13 will work its way into a retest of the lows.
My Additional timing work is based on numerous cycles and has resulted
in the above potential reversal dates. These are not to be confused with
the barometer signals or cycle times. However, due to their past accuracy
I post the dates here.
2007 Potential Reversal Dates: 1/10, 1/14, 1/27, 1/31, 2/3, 2/17, 3/10,
3/24, 4/21, 5/6, 6/15, 8/29, 10/19, 11/29, 12/13, 12/23, 12/31, 1/11/08.
2006 potential reversal dates: 1/16, 1/30, 2/25, 3/19, 4/8, 5/8, 5/19, 6/6(20),
7/24, 8/20, 8/29, 9/15, 10/11, 11/28. 2005 Potential reversal dates based
on 'other' cycle work were 12/27, 1/25, 2/16, 3/4, 3/14, 3/29, 4/5, 4/19,
5/2, 6/3, 6/10, 7/13, 7/28, 8/12, 8/30-31, 9/22, 10/4, 11/15, 11/20, 12/16.
The following work is based on my spread/momentum indicators for
the QQQQ, GLD, USD, USO and TLT. They are tuned to deliver signals in line
with the Stock Barometer and we use them only in determining our overall
outlook for the market and for pinpointing market reversals. The level,
direction, and position to the zero line are keys in these indicators. For
example, direction determines mode and a buy signal 'above zero' is more
bullish than a buy signal 'below zero'.
QQQQ Spread Indicator (NASDAQ:QQQQ)

The QQQQ Spread Indicator will yield its own buy and sell signals that
may be different from the Stock Barometer. It's meant to give us an idea
of the next turn in the market.
Gold Spread Indicator (AMEX:GLD)

To trade Gold, utilize the Gold ETF AMEX:GLD. This gives us a general gage
to the overall health of the US Economy and the markets, as well as to assists
us in the entry of positions in our stock trading service.
US Dollar Index Spread Indicator (INDEX:DXY)

To trade the US Dollar, I'd utilize the Power Shares AMEX:UUP: US Dollar
Index Bullish Fund and AMEX:UDN: US Dollar Index Bearish Fund.
Bonds Spread Indicator (AMEX:TLT)

To trade Bonds, I recommend Lehman's 20 year ETF AMEX:TLT. Note that the
direction of bonds can have an impact on the stock market. Normally, as bonds
go down, stocks will go up and as bonds go up, stocks will go down.
OIL Spread Indicator (AMEX:USO)

To trade OIL, utilize AMEX:USO, the OIL ETF. We look at the price of oil
as its level and direction can have an impact on the stock market.
Supporting Secondary Indicator

I monitor over a hundred technical indicators, some that are widely followed
and some that are proprietary. These indicators break down the market internals,
sentiment and money flow and give us unique insight into the market. I feature
at least one here each day in support of our current outlook - and to give
you an education on what professional traders utilize.
Summary of Daily Outlook
We remain in Sell Mode, looking for the markets to continue to bottom here.
Our call for the market to need morning action like Tuesdays in order to rally
was right on. Now that we have the initial bounce, we're likely to see some
backing and filling as I can tell you right here, that this is a significant
bottom and that the market will be higher in 1 to 2 months.
Based on the iibbr above, you can see that on a sentiment basis, we are at
a significant bottom. For you long term investors, if you've been saving cash,
now is the time to put it to work. I know I will...
One thing we'll be looking for in the coming weeks is the efficiency of the
move. Meaning, if the market sentiment becomes too bullish, too fast, we can
easily come back down and test these lows after our call for a September top.
What concerns me even more is the last significant September top (2001) took
the market down for the following 10 months into a July/October 2002 bottom.
That was the most painful period I personally ever experienced in the market.
And if it ever happens again, I will definitely start up a short only service
- because that'll be the best place to make money in the months that follow.
