Opening Comments
Commentary below from Mark Leibovit, TIMER DIGEST's #1 Intermediate Market Timer for the 10-year period ending in 2007 AND the #2 Intermediate Market Timer for the 10-year period ending in 2009.
--------------------------------------------
Current TIMER DIGEST Signals:
Stocks - Bull - Short-term, cycles still indicate markets have some downside risk. In Leibovit Volume Reversal analysis we have cross above last week's highs on volume to negate last week's short-term negative signals. Support at 1294 in the SPX fulfilled 50 of the potential 100 points to the downside I was hoping to see during a late February to March correction. Outlier events including last week's surge in Crude Oil are wild cards, but Bernanke still has control over the printing press and the Plunge Protection Team, so I will continue to sit on my overall 'Buy' signal until market action strongly points to the contrary.
Gold - Bull - Time is running out for positive 'seasonality' factors for Gold, though it continues positive for other metals including Silver and Platinum for several more months. My next upside target in Gold is 1500 should we clear resistance at 1430. Silver is headed into the 40s.
Bonds - Bearish - Long bonds are way oversold and the current sell-off in equities drove buyers into bonds seeking safety. I watching the current technical bounce to see if I can find a 'safe' short entry opportunity in ETFs.

STOCKS - ACTION ALERT -
Two-years after launching QE, Murphy's Law, - "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong," is starting to kick-in. Much of the Fed's QE money is spilling over into the North Sea Brent crude oil market, the benchmark for pricing of two-third's of the world's oil, and the Fed has left the world economy with little room for error, in the event that instability in the Middle East leads to supply shocks. One of the unintended consequences of QE, unleashed by the central banks in England, Japan, and the US, is the powerful resurgence of the "Commodity Super Cycle," that's sparking riots in North Africa, and has already toppled the dictators of Egypt and Tunisia.
The stock market rallied on Friday, recovering some of last week's losses, after consumer sentiment hit a three-year high and following some good corporate news, most notably a big contract win by Boeing. The Dow Industrials rose 61.95 or 0.51% to 12130.45 and the S&P gained 13.78 or 1.06% to 1319.88. The NASDAQ outperformed, rising 43.15 or 1.58% to 2781.05. And the small-cap Russell 2000 did even better, jumping 17.77 or 2.21% to 821.95. Breadth was very positive, but volume was light despite being options expirations.
The conspiracy theories about the mythical PPT, were given an added degree of credibility on Nov 3rd, 2010, when Bernanke wrote in the Washington Post, that jigging-up the stock market, was in fact, the Fed's key mechanism for bringing down the jobless rate, and spurring an economic recovery. "Easier financial conditions will promote economic growth. Lower corporate bond rates will encourage investment. And higher stock prices will boost consumer wealth and help increase confidence, which can also spur spending," Bernanke wrote, describing the "wealth effect."
Commodities led the market rally on Friday (XLB +1.48% and XLE +1.59%). Meanwhile, defensive stocks were the worst performing sectors (XLP +0.51%, XLU +0.56%, XLV +0.62%) as traders shifted to from safety to risk, as indicated by the big rally in Small Caps (IWM +2.32%).
I'll repeat what I wrote Friday at mid-day: Looking at the charts, I'm liking what I'm seeing about the recent correction. The S&P 500, NASDAQ Comp, and Russell 2000 all bounced off of their 50-day moving averages. The Dow Industrials never touched it while the Dow Transports holds below its moving average. Most of the market sectors have also bounced off their 50-day moving averages, the exception: XLE which never got that low.
During the recent correction, we trading the short side of the market, profitably I might add. This correction is within the context of the larger bull market and corrections are buying opportunities. It was nice to see support hold and act as a trampoline for stocks. We very easily could have more consolidation ahead as the market struggles with international events and high oil prices, but I'll be on the lookout for support and, more importantly, Positive Leibovit Volume Reversals.
-------------------------------------------
DOW TRANSPORTS - ACTION ALERT -
Transportation stocks moved higher with the broader market, nearly matching the gain in the S&P 500. The Dow Jones Transportation Average jumped 51.92 or 1.04% to 5060.37.
As mentioned above, the Dow Transports has the weakest charts of the all the major indexes as it sits below its 50-day moving average. However, it may have created a double bottom in the 5000 area. If these lows hold and the index can push to new highs, which will take time, I can see a big bull rally. But let's not get carried away. We are mostly in wait-and-see mode here, especially when it comes to the Transports.
--------------------------------------------
GOLD and METALS - ACTION ALERT -
Metals rallied across the board on Friday, recovering some of Thursday's losses, as traders' concerns about international affairs decreased amid good economic news and reassurances from the IEA and Saudi Arabia that oil supplies will be adequate. Gold jumped 7.50 to 1409.60, silver rallied 1.27 to 33.38, platinum gained 24 to 1805, palladium rose 16 to 789, and copper moved up 0.1115 to 4.4550.
As stated above in my introductory comments, Gold above 1430 should see 1500 while Silver now projects into the 40s.

URANIUM - ACTION ALERT
Uranium has temporarily peaked at $73.00, up $32.00 off its low, declining to $67.50. Next big support is $63.00.
Ux U3O8 Prices* (Uranium)
February 21, 2010 Posting
Spot: $68.75 DOWN 3.50.
Uranium futures bear market low was 40.00 following the June 13, 2007 the bull market high of 154.95. Major support lies well under the market at $36.00.
The spot price of uranium quadrupled from 2004 to 2007. When it hit $138/lb, uranium became a certified bubble, which has now burst.
--------------------------------------------
BONDS - ACTION ALERT-
Treasuries held steady Friday after the weak GDP report provided enough support to offset the strong consumer sentiment report and the rally in stocks. The long bond future rose 6/32 to 121 23/32.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York bought $7.24 billion in Treasury debt on Friday, part of the Fed's second round of quantitative easing, and includes purchases made under a previous program to reinvest cash from its maturing mortgage-related holdings back into Treasurys. Dealers offered the central bank $23.97 billion in Treasurys maturing from 2018 to 2021. Since the program began in August, the Fed had bought about $442 billion through Thursday.
Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Janet Yellen on Friday strongly defended the central bank's innovative bond purchase program, saying the benefits have been "sizable." In the absence of the Fed's asset purchases, the unemployment rate would have remained over 10% and core inflation would have fallen below zero this year, Yellen said, citing research at the central bank. She spoke at a monetary policy conference hosted by the University of Chicago Booth Business School. Going forward, market expectations about the timing and pace of the unwinding of the Fed's asset purchases will impact financial conditions, Yellen said. Conditions would likely "tighten immediately" if the market came to expect a more rapid selloff of the balance sheet while a slower-than expected-exit would likely be stimulative. As a result, the Fed will use great care in its communication, Yellen said. Last April, the FOMC members said they wanted the "renormalizing process" to take five years. She added the F ederal Reserve would not sit by and watch a sustained increase in inflation expectations or core inflation from a recent spike in oil prices. "We are watching [inflation expectations] very closely, especially in the present circumstances," Yellen said. "Any increase that seemed to be sustained in inflation expectations or in core inflation... would really demand a response," Yellen said at a monetary policy conference hosted by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. "I don't think there is anybody who would view as reasonable policy to just wait around until inflation has increased and inflation expectations have increased on a sustained basis. Everyone of us has learned a huge amount from the experience of the 1970s and we do not intend to repeat it," she said.
--------------------------------------------
CRUDE OIL - ACTION ALERT -
Oil posted a small gain on Friday as protests expand through the Middle East and North Africa. But gains were limited after Saudi Arabia and the International Energy Agency, which has 1.6 billion barrels of emergency oil stocks, said they would increase oil sales if necessary. Crude oil rose 0.60 to 97.88.
Crude traded at 103.41 on Thursday and what appeared to be a split second later tradaed down to 97.28. That rally satisfied all my current upside projections - not to say it can't go higher and newer projections are generated, but for now I am only bullish insofar as Crude's connection to commodities in general and the worldwide inflation we're currently experiencing.
Money managers added 47,600 "long" oil contracts, or bets prices would go up, pushing the net longs to a new record of 240,572 contracts, data from Commodity Futures Trading Commission data showed Friday. The managers also added 7,800 short contracts, or bets prices will go lower. Oil ended the week with gains of 14% as unrest in Libya and concerns about possible contagion to other North African and Middle Eastern countries roiled markets.
--------------------------------------------
US DOLLAR - ACTION ALERT -
The US Dollar Index recovered some of its recent losses on Friday while the Euro and Pound weakened after good economic news in the US, lower than expected monetary inflation in Europe, and a shrinking economy in Britain. The US Dollar Index gained 0.197 to 77.275.
Annual money-supply growth in the euro zone, one of the European Central Bank's most closely-watched measures of near-term inflation pressures, unexpectedly decelerated in January, the ECB said Friday. Annual M3 money supply grew 1.5% in January, down from 1.7% in December. Economists had forecast an expansion of 2.2%. The three-month average of annual M3 growth stood at 1.7% in the November-January period versus 1.6% in the October-December period. Economists had forecast a 2% rise. The annual growth rate of loans to the private sector in the euro zone rose to 2.4% in January from 1.9% in December.
The Euro fell 0.34% against the Dollar.
The British economy contracted more sharply in the fourth quarter of 2010 than previously estimated, the Office for National Statistics said Friday. Gross domestic product contracted by 0.6% versus the third quarter, compared to a previous estimate of a 0.5% decline. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, GDP grew by 1.5%, the ONS said, compared to a previous estimate of 1.7%.
The Pound declined 0.15% against the Dollar but rose 0.21% against the Euro.
--------------------------------------------
ECONOMIC NEWS:
The U.S. economy grew at 2.8% pace in the final three months of 2010 based on new data showing that consumers and state and local governments spent less than originally estimated. Last month, the Commerce Department said gross domestic product climbed at a 3.2% annual rate in the fourth quarter. Economists had expected revised GDP to remain at 3.2%. While consumer spending underpinned growth in the fourth quarter, the government now says it rose 4.1%, down from a previously reported 4.4%. Spending by state and local governments, meanwhile, dropped 2.4% instead of the initial estimate of a 0.9% decline. Spending by government at all levels fell 1.5% in the fourth quarter, down from 0.5% in the first reading of GDP.
An index of consumer sentiment rose in February, according to media reports of a poll released Friday by Thomson Reuters and the University of Michigan. The gauge rose to 77.5 in February from 74.2 in January. A prior estimate for sentiment in February was for 75.1. Economists had expected a final February reading of 75.4.
--------------------------------------------

Canadian TSX, TSX Venture and Canadian Dollar Commentary for our Canadian clients updated for Monday, February 28:
The Canadian market rallied Friday and outperformed the US market as Metals & Mining led the advance amid rallies in the metals and good earnings from Goldcorp.

Revenues rose 70%, to $1.32-billion, boosted by higher gold prices and increased sales volumes. Goldcorp said separately it has approved an increase in its annual dividend to $0.40 a common share, citing "increasing cash flows due to growing gold production and a continued strong metals market". The company announced just four months ago that it had doubled its annual shareholder dividend payment to $0.36. G.TO rallied 3.49%.
Iamgold Corp. advanced 5.7 percent to C$20.50, the fifth- biggest gain in the Canadian benchmark equity index. The Toronto-based mining company said on a conference call it may consider a sale or an initial public offering for the Niobec niobium ore mine in Saint-Honore, Quebec.
