I'm just not getting good volume set ups and confirmation...in either direction. Sentiment is mixed and not much help either. Mark

There are other tools that give great indications... Hint: Look at $BKX behavior today.

More hints: GE, BAC preferred issues. SOX and XAU lagging.

Semi...we think so much alike. I've been tracking preferreds, banks and XAU for a tell, also. I probably don't pay near the attention to the SOX though...I watch the DJUSEN/OSX/XLE instead.

Mark I would not be confused on what many think. Only what you think! Sorry again if I overstep my bounds!

T&A will not work in this market. I have used it for a very long time. This all goes back on what we think we know, but will not happen.

T&A only works in normal markets, not markets never seen before. Sorry to jest with you, I just don't think many get it. I have friends that get it and for very long. Send me a PM, I will explain. Before you reply I am not smarter than you or anyone else here. DL
The best investments are frequently the ones you did not make! To make a really good investment, which will in time appreciate by 100 times or more, is like finding a needle in a haystack. Most "hot tips" and "must buy" or "great opportunities" turn out to be disasters. Thus, only make very few investment decisions, which you have carefully analyzed and thought about in terms of risk and potential reward. Marc Faber

I'm actually thinking that TA works BETTER in abnormal markets, like this. It has been money until just a couple days ago, actually. Really. The TA has worked very well. That's probably why my favorite stuff isn't, because someone is exploiting it away. Mark
