I'm wondering if everyone is worn down enough by the chop, chop, chop of the last few months for the market to finally mess with a few minds and follow through right now with a ripping Santa rally on a NYMO low above a low at the close today and all the candle power evident above? :) Good luck and good trading.

Yes, it's scary and their warnings are right on. I started being concerned about this market back in May (MAY 29TH POST), and in reply to an email in June (JUNE 7TH POST) took note of the changing tone in the market as the NYMO/NYSI began to suggest a possible transition to a bear market, and then in late July as that May Post chart shows, we dropped through the "Death Cross" and the bear was confirmed. That period back in early summer -- of course clearer now in retrospect -- was a time when the McClellan Oscillator was really showing its value by truly giving signs of the shifting context for the longer term.

It is still a bear market and not a nice one. Any bear market is frustrating for the bulls, and this one is going sideways, which is makes it also frustrating for the bears. Today, so far, is pretty good sign of the bear -- big up blast yesterday, lots of buy signals, not a lot of follow through... You have to either stay out, or play disciplined defense or, depending on your risk tolerance, be willing to accept draw downs until this works its way out one way or the other.

Good luck and good trading.
