DOW JONES @ LIVECHARTS

Hi JJ50 -Yes I stayed at dinner and on my way back I figured it out in my brain that we had a lift with you to the emporium.(or have i got it wrong as usual)?
What are your views on the dow for the moment? Mine are that it is going to be case of pop and drop and black gold (crude) is on the rise again.Its a difficult call for sure.best to scalp rather than bth.

Hi zarif. No it wasn't me who gave you the lift to the Emporium!

Agree about scalping, it is my middle name at the moment! Difficult to judge the election effect but I don't see a lot of upside on the horizon and I am sitting on more cash than usual!

Regards, Jennifer

Very interesting article I picked up on the internet. It will be very interesting when the American Non-Farm numbers are released on Friday. IMHO, the US market will fall and UK will follow. Watch this space.

Other views please.

I'm watching hjs.

snoball,
I think the drop has started!If DJ ends down 100 points, then expect a much bigger drop on Friday.

oh, right. o.k.

Down 114. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Charts signal sell on the Dow and S&P 500.
The Bullish Percentage still looks bullish as does the NASDAQ index of stocks over their 50 day ma's.

yes the sentiment, I beleive, has shifted to sell on the dow and pressure from oil and perhaps the corporate and econonmic data may add to the mix

Payroll figures are out and they are bad! DJ will fall. May be another 100 points+

WASHINGTON (AFX) -- The September nonfarm payroll data are 'terrible' with an increase in govermment jobs masking underlying weakness in job growth, said Robert Brusca, chief economist at FAO Economics. Although headline nonfarm payroll jobs grew by 96,000 in September, private sector employment only increased by 59,000 in September. 'We've had a number of false recoveries in this recovery and could this be another one and shouldn't we be more cautious and worried,' Brusca said.
