SPX Ranges for Thursday - Got the pullback

SPX 15 min
SPX 60 min
SPX day
XLF 60 Min
XLF Day Min
USO 60 Min
USO double top on the 60 min chart...XLF Posted, Daily held 6.84 (who knows C new 52 week low 1.12...Get it out of the DOW for Christ sake)and JPM very weak and near 52 week low....SPX Daily RSI held, it turn up through 30 but I don't know if I trust it (the weekly has not turned :trust the chart:) Anybody feel like this wasn't just your typical Bear market Rally....looked to me like up, accumulate, up accumulate, then shake..(?!?!?!) We'll see

! Hour to go SPX 720 through 715 Res !


Short Covering could get us to 740 - 750 Early Thursday...no?

If you missed 692...may get a pullback soon to enter

USO Top?

SPX 1:30 JPM near 52 week lows and XLF hit new lows -4% about the only ETF down today



You'd think we are up 10 or 20% over the last few days, it's been such a battle from 692 to 715... looks like the bulls may be worn out. Who knows, on the positive side the SPX daily RSI has managed to turn up and is now holding over 30 after dipping below 30 Tuesday. Weekly RSI is still pointed down and the weekly MACD has / is crossing down. USO and KOL are very strong off their bottoms so that will help.

China Reload - I have not found a US ETF to match this market FXI and PGJ are lagging



I'd be watching this real careful around the last high at 2400

Just as no IT professional ever got fired for buying IBM, no mutual fund manager ever got fired for buying GE (GE). (Not yet, anyway.)

As a result, the vast majority of broad-market mutual funds own GE.

In order to avoid the appearance of trafficking in penny stocks, many mutual funds also have rules that prevent them from owning stocks whose prices are below certain prices, such as $10 and $5.

So we have a question for all mutual fund companies whose rules prevent them from owning stocks with prices under $5: Are you going to suspend those rules when it comes to GE?

If the answer is "no," who will buy up all those shares?

My Comment - there are around 10 Billion shares out.

SPX 60 Min chart...getting close to overbought - PAUSE?

Well He Better pay Attention!!



WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is comparing the stock market to the daily tracking polls used during campaigns, saying that paying too close attention to Wall Street's "fits and starts" could lead to bad long-term policy.

Obama spoke to reporters Tuesday after meeting in the Oval Office with visiting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Obama said he is not measuring policies against "the day-to-day gyrations of the stock market," but by whether lending is flowing more freely, businesses are investing and the unemployed are going back to work.

He said he is "absolutely confident" that those things will happen. But the president also said it will take time for the mistakes of the past to work their way through the system.

XLF - Possible Double Bottom if it can close above the 6.84 lows


Here It Comes (GE) - Via Market Ticker

Here It Comes (GE)

This is what is going to happen, as I noted in BlogTalkRadio yesterday afternoon, if "The Bezzle" is not removed from our system NOW.

Take a look at that folks. That's a snapshot of today's volume for June GE $2.50 PUTs.

That's over 52,000 contracts traded today, controlling 5.2 million shares.

They were purchased for about 30 cents, which means that the price has to be under $2.20 for them to go "in the money".

This is a bankruptcy bet on General Electric by the third week of June.

That's right - General Electric.

Folks, this is precisely what I was talking about last night on BlogTalkRadio. Go listen to my monologue on "The Bezzle", right at the front of the show, very carefully.

This is precisely what has happened with many financial institutions already and what happened to hundreds of companies during the 00-03 Tech Wreck.

General Electric is a stalwart of our financial and industrial system. A bankruptcy by GE would be catastrophic for our economy and capital markets. The follow-on damage with suppliers and customers would be even worse.

If "The Bezzle" is not brought under control right damn now this is what is going to to happen to company after company. We WILL see the S&P trade at one hundred if we start to see firms like GE go down the toilet.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Legislators and President Obama, your time is running out to change direction.

The number of people who have told me that I am wasting my time continues to grow.

You folks who are sending me those emails are missing the point of my activities in this regard.

It is my intention to guarantee that these actions and intentional and willful blindness is documented so that when these failures occur, which I have predicted and provided a path by which they can be prevented, occur due to the intentional and willful malfeasance of our lawmakers and policy "wonks", the people can correctly hold to account the people responsible for their unemployment, homelessness and hunger.

When firms like GE come under attack like this what I am talking about here is coming - imminently.

Either behavior changes RIGHT NOW or the outcome will become inevitable.

USO Getting Perked up

SPX 692 could be a good low ...watching the Daily also
