OEXCHAOS

From this morning's letter:

 

"Conclusion
Last time, I said that we had e a 2X Sell and that normally, a 2X Sell and an Options Oscillator Sell on the same day would be likely to get right immediately but now, I thought and think that with the obviousness of the break higher, as well as the breadth confirmation, these sentiment readings are as likely to be indicative of a "point of recognition" as any sort of over-confidence. I doubted that we'd see much weakness.  I suspected that we were about to witness a rare, parabolic rally and I advised that regular Sell signals were less likely to work out. Last night, the Put/Calls looked superficially Bearish for the market, but the Options Oscillator, which measures opening transaction was Bullish. Also, the OEX "smart money" was Bullish. Additionally, the VIX spiked on a flat day. All of this is a sign of folks either not buying into the move, or worse, fighting it. I also note that ST and IT Momentum "backed into" Sells. When momentum goes flat and triggers a Sell, I've found it's almost always a fade, especially in a strong up trend--it only serves to give Bears hope.  This morning, the FL/FS is neutral, and there still aren't enough short Bears to look for a top, but it is a lot closer--but close isn't good enough. Don't fight this rally. Top-picking is poorly rewarded, if at all."

 

 

I'm going to try to get a full piece up in the MA are as well as on StockCharts. We're witnessing something rare and historic, I suspect.

Mark,

 

I think you are too bullish. I am very very cautious about this market here. I am playing with very tight stops and taking very little risk here.

Well, the only mistake people have made lately... is not being bullish enough...

Let breadth of market be your ultimate guide....nothing else is more important.

Mark,

It is very generous of you to share your analysis in such detail. I agree w/ your conclusion. One only needs too look at the leading sectors to know this is no top of any significance (if at all in the DJ-30 and of course small caps lead this season). 

 

 

thanks

Jim

This DJT was a dog with fleas last week... the low of the week came on Monday at 9565, it just traded at a new all time high of 10347... about 800 pts in four days time...

 

Time to THINK BIG... after we all know that "every month starts with a gap up", everybody knows that, right?

This is all part of what you introduced to the board a couple of years ago...the "internet of all things" economy.

 

And with this new way of commerce, we have a long, long way to go.
