DOW JONES @ LIVECHARTS

melnibone just looked at the chart and your analysis is correct.
at the onset either gap up or down i reckon it will spend most of the time on lows and heading lower.
With ref to the dow -same as above either gap up or down asides it is going to be heading lower till midafternoon yankee time.
So lets see what happens tomorrow.
On friday will try to head higher.

Zarif, you have mail.

Melnibone.

Melnibone, would the fact that the macd peaks & troughs are at similar levels indicate that the STOXX50 is trading in a range?

That's not the way I would read a Macd, Snoball.

I look for the signals created by the divergance in relation
to the signal line and the Zero line.

Melnibone.

Thanks for the e-mails, Zarif.
Interesting.

Melnibone.

Zarif- tried to e-mail you, but says address does not exist !MM

MM: thats odd as i recieved melnibones email yesterday are you sure you entered it correctly as there is an under score in the email and not a hypen or dash -a common mistake to make. Anyway try again and will give you another address aswell.

Below is Tom Hougaards Thoughts for the market for today

Good morning,



The Intel news caused a big gap down which was immediately bought. The low set around 1107 in the SP500 will act as the Make or Break for the time being. If the market trades below 1107 the market should head down for the count until the end of the month. Stocks are bleeding and the bounce was a pure day trader phenomenon. Later the market retested the area and held. The good news amid this bearishness is that we saw some buying in the final hour of the day.



I am basically of the opinion that as long as we are below 1116 the market is in a water fall decline pattern. I got no expectations for Thursday, but Friday looks higher to me.



Several stocks look interesting. One index that holds the key to the market is the SOX. It may be a perfect buying opportunity right here with a tight stop. If the bulls cant support the SOX here then we should much lower going into the end of the month.



It seems every morning I come in the SP500 is trading around 1112. Sooner rather than later we will break and I will go with the flow. 1108 or 1116!!! In between is day traders paradise.



Tom

MM: Just recieved an email -assuming it was from you (muralee menon) the subject header said WELL DONE but there was no other message.

Just closed the short in profit by 30pts and have taken out a long lets eee what happens.

The longs in credit already but am going to see if can hold it till 5.15pm as i reckon it has more upside till then. If it fails than time for parachute and jump ship (or is it plane?)

Now am going to watch till 6pm when the traders come back from lunch and full of spirits - ithink they will be full of "shorts" but all will be revealed soon....

Braggert zarif.........good luck to you I'm just enviouse ;o\

Douggie - as they say "when you laugh the whole world laughs with you -but when you cry you cry alone"
Thanks anyway all i am doing is weaving in and out and acting as a scavenger among sharks and see what scraps i can collect but rest assured they take bites and can takes chunks out of us.
At the moment have opened another short and see if any good comes of it but i think around 8-8.15pm it will move higher and most probabnly friday will be higher prices so will have to plan accordingly.
