Over the past week, I have read several accounts why the market must go up or down, and the authors of these articles typically sight…
I define the price cycle as the path prices take from low to high and back to low again. To help determine where I am…
Last week, I complimented investors for understanding what is driving this market. It is the perception that some central bank has back stopped asset prices.…
It is the same play. Rather it is the only play in the central banker playbook! When things look dire, turn on the printing presses.…
This isn't one of those Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon Carnac the Magnificent skits where Ed reads the answers and Johnny surmises the question. But…
In our Chart Book, which is a new weekly addition to TheTechnicalTake line up, I highlighted a chart of the i-Path Goldman Sachs Crude ETN…
For several weeks, I have been of the opinion that whatever bounce develops would not carry too far because sentiment really wasn't too bearish at…
Several of the economic indicators that go into our real time recession indicator are starting to point to recession. However, as we have discussed recently,…

Even I am surprised. The SP500 is down 9% in 9 weeks, and the bulls have yet to throw in the towel. Usually, the perma-bull…
I know they don't move much, but in these turbulent times, just getting your principal back from an investment is a winning proposition. I have…
Equity investor sentiment remains mixed. The Rydex market timers (i.e., dumb money) remain excessively bullish, and this is a bear signal. On the other hand,…
Like my whiny children, who after 30 minutes into a 6 hour car drive, investors are asking themselves, "Are we there yet?" After all, the…
In the absence of extreme bearish sentiment (i.e., bull signal) developing, it is unlikely that any upward price move in the major equity indices will…
The market action is "fugly" out there this morning. Several issues gapped below key support, and this is never a good sign. A daily chart…
There is a sense of panic amongst the bulls. My goodness the SP500 hasn't gone anywhere in 9 weeks, and the economic data isn't look…
