I think VIX options expire tomorrow. That could hold us up for a day or 2 before we head down for real.

This will be my last post on this thread and likely for a while. Here is my closing comment and opinion on the $SPX long term cycles. This thread was started last summer when I saw ominous signs in the cyclic action of the $SPX. We haven't seen any real signs of the bear since the March lows (last 18 month low), but I'll now present the problem. My current view (and an extension of airedale's phasing) is that the last 18 year cycle low was made in 1994. The last 9 year low was made in 2003. The last 4.5 year low was made in August 2007. The markets need to make a 4.5, 9 and 18 year nest lows in the future, and the first real opportunity will be next summer say August/September 2010. Many argue that long term lows have already occured. That is not likely but time will tell. The current cyclic status for the larger cycles is as follows: 18 year cycle is down 9 year cycle is down 4.5 year cycle is topping 18 month cycle is up 40 week cycle is down 20 week cycle is down Once the coming 40 week lows have passed, the 4.5 year cycle will be pointing down. The 18 month cycle will be pointing down. The only cycle pointing up will be the 20 and 40 week cycle. This will allow a rally into the first quarter 2010. It may be a new high or simply a retest of this year's high. But at some point after that, things will likely be very bearish. cheers, john SPX_long_term_cycles_Oct_2009.png

Just to close out the previous posted trade, I've covered the SPY short @ 104. There are lower targets but I will wait to see if we get another bounce to short. Everything is sitting at ST channel bottoms. cheers, john
