The Week

 

Investors,

The economy is moving along at a slow pace but it's moving forward. The week was a typical before Labor Day allowing a move higher at end of August into first few days of September. Next week will be key to market direction in September. Some don't believe the September Blues will materialize this year because the economy is actually in a slow recovery period creating a positive trickle down effect giving the markets stability. The markets just came off an oversold condition and still remain oversold but because of the September Blues, September is a long way from over, I will remain Neutral. I would like to see this rally continue through September reversing normal market cycle from downward September Blues to a September on expectations of good earning reports in Roctober. If this took place the rest of 2010, first Q of 2011 we could see INDI 11,500 tested.

Short Term Neutral

Thank you,

Harold

Last Week Comments

If you were watching the markets during trading hours this week you had a wild ride up and then down down under 10,000 then bang and the INDU only lost 62 points for the week. On top of that the Nasdaq was actually green for the second week in a row. I am not trying to convince anyone the closes were bullish but they do suggest buyers are watching and shorts are edgy enough to start covering while stocks are beaten down. Next week is pre holiday week so it tends to be quiet with no real action unless some unknown catalyst appears sending it in way way or the other.

Is the economy slowing as much as many commentators suggest? It's Summer and usually not a robust time of year while families were taking vacations. We were fortunate enough to have a Summer Time rally but when it ended bang the markets were down. The only warning my readers had was the September Blues suggests when earning reports slow the markets correct out of the Summer Time Rally into the September Blues. I am not so bearish about the economy enough to keep me from added a real estate investment trust. You'll find it below.

Please don't be reactive with your portfolio be proactive looking ahead adjusting to patterns that take place year after year in the investment arena. Do a search on a book entitled The Delta Phenomena, By Wells Wilder and read about the book. Check out the Delta Society while you are at it. The Delta Phenomena was one of my first books introducing me to cycles in the markets. Was worth the $100.00, 10 years ago, now it's $175.00 but worth every penny.

I hope new readers/investors enjoy reading my newsletter. More then enjoy reading, I hope you find a gold nugget in this newsletter. Never forget Wall Street can be friend or foe just try to learn as much as you can and have patience in your trades. Always look ahead to determine possible market direction. Read my TAs below, I am fairly accurate but normally ahead of the move.

Typical Trader Feelings

FEAR = Panic Gut Pains

Greed = Euphoric Expectations

 

Major Percentage Mover Developing

 
 

WOLV: Wolverine Could Be A Major Copper play when they start reporting assay results. The last dip buyers stepped in buying shares increasing volume plus giving us a apx.70% move. Personally I am not looking for 70% but a  700%+ Return on news as the results are released to the mining sector in Canada. L2 SJLS is an Institutional buyer working the stck. They actively stepped up their buying the day after the K was released. Sellers that day at .095 had belly pains watching SJLS and other begin their buying moving the price back to .15 in two days.

If I am right about what is coming once news is out they will goose this stck all the way to a dollar plus. Core samples should start arriving soon to assay office if they haven't already.  This is an exciting time quickly approaching. I don't believe this company has spent the last four years doing a step by step exploration for the claims they have in Labrador. WOLV is worth doing serious DD. If a potential shareholder waits until assay results you could be buying a serious gap to the upside in my opinion. Close .15

INDU (DOW Jones)

INDU

+ 297.28

Week Close 10,447.93

The INDU rallied off it's oversold condition after a slight dip under 10,000 Monday. The INDU closed @ 10,447.93 gaining +297.26 for the week. The MACD is attempting to cross turning upward. The Stochastic is coming up starting to get slightly overbought but has a long way to go higher. If the INDU doesn't go through 10,650 on this upward move then the chart would show a lower top which would suggest lower 10,000 range would get tested again in September. I am suggesting a rolling INDU is starting to show and this move higher should be shallow unless a break through 10,650 occurs. The Indicators and Chart suggests a choppy INDU short term.

Last Week Close 10,150.65

The INDU faired well this week rallying into the close Friday closing @ 10,150.65 only losing 62.97 points. I considered the close Friday as a shallow market move upward, looking like a possible head fake when I look at the Indicators and Chart. The MACD (lagging indicator) still has a sell signal triggered and is pointing lower. The Stochastic is oversold laying limp not knowing what to do, up or down? The Stochastic is oversold bottom line. The recent 13 DMA cross down through the 50 DMA continues pointing to lower lows ahead. Looking back to the top in April then look at the top the first of August could suggest the INDU could bounce short term, next week, then continue lower. Next month, September Blues, down or up but it doesn't look good, 9700 to 9800 could be tested. The INDU needs to turn higher off this 10,000 level or it's going much lower in September.

Nasdaq

+ 80.12

Week Close 2,233.75

The last three weeks the Nasdaq has managed to close green but this week the Nasdaq solid @ 2,233.75 gaining +80.12. My concern is two gaps that the Nasdaq recently put in. A traders rule is the gap needs to be filled, sooner or later but it needs to be filled. The MACD and Stochastic mirror the INDU. Next week is going to be a key week that could indicate the type of Nasdaq that lies ahead.

Last Week Close 2,153.63

The Nasdaq managed to close green after Friday's move +34.94 points. The Nasdaq closed @ 2,153.63 gaining 26.13 points for the week. Not a bad close but the gain was all done in one day suggesting a shallow bounce taking place. The Nasdaq does have life at current levels but needs follow-through into September or the Nasdaq could test 2000 in September/early October before Roctober earnings reports start kicking in mid October. MACD sell signal still solid, Stochastic is weak/oversold, entire chart is pointed lower short term

+ 26.60

Week Close 643.36

The Russell had a strong week closing @ 643.36 gaining +26.60. The Russell does have gap on the chart with a MACD cross higher about to take place. The Stochastic is starting to look overbought without support. The Russell could easily correct testing 600 support if the major markets correct during September Blues. Next week is important to establish possible Russell direction for the rest of September.

Last Week Close 616.76

The Russell had some life this week closing @ 616.76 gaining 5.98 points for the week. Friday's 17 point gain lipped the MACD and the Stochastic, interesting but not interesting enough for me to be bullish on this Indices. Be careful with the Russell going into next month. Remember the Russell did close under 600 during the week and in one day it's back under 600.
