What a disaster for Boehner & Co. last night. Did we really need another warring faction? What are we — Greece!? Wait, don’t answer that! The markets will not take kindly to this additional complication. Today’s theme song: Maureen McGovern’s song from the 1972 Poseidon Adventure. Don’t laugh, it won an Academy Award! What sold … continue reading →

A quick plug: for anyone doing any last minute holiday shopping, I recently found a wonderful online shop that carries very cool shabby chic, french country and vintage decorative goodies. After looking everywhere, I snagged some vintage champagne flutes at a very reasonable price. I also understand the proprietor lost a loved one in the … continue reading →
April 11 seems like a long time ago. It was then that I laid out my forecast for the top we’ve formed [see: New Analog I’m Watching.] As regular readers know, it was based on a combination of channels, harmonic patterns in price and time, a huge rising wedge, and a promising-looking analog. I made … continue reading →
Today marks the 6th session since we shorted at 1423 [see: Without a Net] in anticipation of a strong downdraft. The first wave down since then was a respectable 25 points, hitting just below our initial 1400 target.

The market continues to walk a tightrope between another leg up and a very significant tumble. We’ve been here many times before in the past year, and it isn’t getting any more fun. To recap… We remain short from 1423 on Dec 3 [see: Without a Net]. This was target A established in our Oct … continue reading →
Feeling pretty jazzed, as things should finally get underway today. Today’s theme music from the late jazz great Dave Brubeck, the last of his kind. This track features Brubeck, Paul Desmond, Eugene Wright and Joe Morello doing what they did best — laying down some hot licks. ORIGINAL POST: 9:15 AM Though the jobs … continue reading →
ORIGINAL POST: We can’t call the corrective wave over just yet. There’s still potential to one of those fibs or channels we discussed yesterday before the 3rd wave down gets going. But, RSI is still showing no breakout potential on any time frame. A 50 – 88.6% retracement is considered “normal” for 2nd waves. This … continue reading →
The toughest moments for those of us who chart publicly are those right after calling a significant top or bottom. There are some instances when pretty much everyone and their mother can see a turn coming. Other times, it feels like you’re sailing through the air, frantically searching for the catcher and hoping he hasn’t … continue reading →
“It was an expression used by small recon units and sniper teams in hostile terrain in Vietnam. They would tell one another to stay groovy when the danger level was so insanely high they popped amphetamines to stay awake and ready to rock twenty-four/ seven, because anything less would get them all killed. Stay groovy; … continue reading →
