Available Mon- Friday after 6:00 P.M. Eastern, 3:00 Pacific.
STOCKS: We’re bearish on the stock market for 2014. This was the title of our January newsletter, sent out on January 6th.
But, we thought we could get a bit more on the upside, mainly based on the fact that the advance decline line was outperforming the major averages and also on the favorable seasonality.
So it was a big surprise to see the extreme weakness on Monday. Several things probably contributed. Goldman Sachs said that valuations were elevated. Dennis Lockhart the president of the Atlanta Fed suggested that tapering would continue and there have been a number of earnings warnings.
GOLD: Gold was up $6.
CHART: The S&P 500 made a low below a previous low today (arrows). That tends to be a negative. However, the VIX, or fear index changed by 9%. When it changes by this much, we usually get a short term bounce. Let’s see what happens tomorrow.
TORONTO EXCHANGE: Toronto was down 60.
S&P\TSX Venture Comp: The Venture Comp was down 2.
BONDS: Bonds moved higher again.
THE REST: The dollar was lower. Silver rallied. Copper and crude oil were lower.
BOTTOM LINE:
Our intermediate term systems are on a buy signal.
System 7 We bought the SSO at 101.79. If there are more declining issues than advancing ones at 3:45 EST, sell at the close.
System 8 We are in cash. Stay there on Tuesday.
NEWS AND FUNDAMENTALS:
There were no important economic releases Monday. On Tuesday we get retail sale. That should be interesting.
