DOW                                              –  37 on 1200 net declines

NASDAQ COMP                               – 14  on 850 net declines

SHORT TERM TREND                         Bearish (change)  

INTERMEDIATE TERM TREND            Bearish

    STOCKS: There was most likely some worry about the news this was week which is going to be heavy. We get 2nd quarter GDP, FOMC minutes and non farm payrolls so we had a light volume day with a downside bias in spite of strength in Europe.

    GOLD:  Gold inched up again, this time up $7.   

CHART: For months we were bullish because of strong internals. Well, now the internals have weakened. The S&P 500 made a marginal low below a previous low while the advance decline line made a more substantial declining bottoms pattern (arrow).  

TORONTO EXCHANGE:    Toronto rose 21.                     

S&P\TSX Venture Comp: The Venture Comp was lower by 1.                                                   

BONDS: Bonds were lower on Monday.                                                             

THE REST: The dollar stabilized. Silver, copper and crude were all marginally lower.          

BOTTOM LINE:  

 Our intermediate term systems are on a sell signal as of June 4, 2013.

   System 2 traders    Are in cash. Stay there on Tuesday.       

System 7 traders    Are in cash. Stay there on Tuesday.

Stock investors We are long Intel from 21.61 with a stop at 22.50.     

NEWS AND FUNDAMENTALS: 

    Pending home sales dropped 0.4%, but not as bad as the expected drop of 1.4%. The Dallas Fed. Mfg. Survey came in at 4.4, less than the expected 6.4. On Tuesday we get the Case Shiller home price index and consumer confidence.
