and home traders alike. The conflicting information on good earnings,
high unemployment, and other factors continue to batter the market.
One moment the SP500 is heading for the stars and the next, it's
heading to the cellar.
So what's a trader to do?
Several key areas, levels, and some steps you can take to help improve your trading in the S&P 500 and other markets:

Jul 25, 2010, Make them prove it! - Part I
Make them prove it!
CNBC applauds the markets' rally, even as technical indicators deteriorate. MACD showing negative divergence.
Fibonacci retracement reaching upper limits. Gann's Square of Nine indicates approaching a 'cardinal' number on
the SP-500. CBOE Market Volatility is significantly off its highs.
Notice how many moving averages are compressing in a narrowing band range. Where have we seen this before?
Usually, right before a 'tsunami' hits.
Is this really when we should be wildly enthusiastic or cautious? Unless, and until, the market takes out the
highest high of the last three months, the major trend must be considered 'down'.
When Put Options become cheap, buy them. Take whatever gifts the market provides. They are an extremely versatile
tool in a traders arsenal. They are the perfect protection for stocks in rising markets and are better than
'short selling' in falling markets. Could you ask for anything more?
Heads Up
W. D. Gann, a keen market observer, although not an astronomer, nevertheless, was fascinated by the apparent
coincidence of important market 'pivot points' and astronomical dates. Theories exist for estimating time and
price of important market turning points but astronomical occurrences are computed with mathematical certainty.
There is no logical reason why these occurrences should coincide yet, empirically, they have.
The 'Full Moon' and 'New Moon', among others, have been cited. Therefore, one might be well advised to be aware
of their occurrence. Note: The first 5 business days of 2008 concluded on a 'New Moon' and we all know how that
worked out. Coincidence?
7/11 Sunday - New Moon (Observe market action Friday & Monday).
7/25 Sunday - Full Moon (Observe market action Friday & Monday).
During the next two weeks, the following DJ-30 components report earnings. Keep a sharp eye
out for possible price swings leading up to 'earnings day' (Subject to revision):
7/27 DD.
7/28 BA.
7/29 XOM.
7/30 CVX, MRK.
8/3 PFE, PG.
8/5 PG.

Jul 22, 2010, An Update On The Euro
Late last week, a case was made that the euro was very close (if not at) its highs. Since then, we have had two significant events fall into place which made the dollar skyrocket against the euro.
Exactly what transpired and where are we so far this week???

Jul 20, 2010, Is it time to buy gold?
It would appear that the euphoria over gold has quickly diminished and many of gold's greatest proponents, who were calling for gold to go over $2,000 an ounce, appear to be disheartened and shell-shocked by the recent sharp downturn in gold.
An old adage in trading goes like this, "They slide faster than they glide."
This is true of all markets and it means they go down faster than they go up.
Some thoughts on gold: We could be looking at some great buying opportunities if just a few components fall into place.

Jul 16, 2010, Did the "Death Cross" die, or is it still live in the S&P 500?
The sharp upward rally in the S&P 500 surprised many people. However, the rally did not change the "Death
Cross" which we pointed out as being a negative and significant market event that does not occur very often.
This market's rally also did not change our weekly and monthly
"Trade Triangles" which are still red and indicating that the trend is headed lower.
This video, shows some other aspects of
the S&P 500 you should be watching.

Jul 15, 2010, An ETF to 'short' the Euro
This ETF uses leverage to 'short' the Euro and go 'long' the $US.
This is especially useful, for instance, in self-directed IRA's where an investor is bearish on the euro but not permitted to 'short' anything in the account to benefit from an expected decline.
Buying this ETF (symbol EUO) solves that problem.

Jul 7, 2010, The "Death Cross" : What it is and how to trade it
This video looks at two important aspects of the market - one
is an intraday technique which shows how to determine where markets will turn, and the other is the infamous "death cross".
The death cross does not occur that often, in fact, in the last 2 1/2 years
we've only seen this happen three times. The most recent occurred just last week and is something that every investor and trader should pay close attention to. This video will help you understand what the death cross is, how to construct it, and use it in your own trading. A lot of traders
and investors watch this very closely. So should you.

Jun 28, 2010, Importance of Market Divergence Indicators
In the market there are two types of market divergences that can occur:
a bullish divergence and a bearish divergence. Both of these divergences
are important and you need to know how they work and how you can benefit
from this knowledge.
This short educational trading video shows the tools traders use to spot market divergences. We will be using the Relative Strength Indicator
(RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) which was developed by Gerald Appel.

Jun 24, 2010, Forex Should Not be Foreign to you
It's the biggest market in the world and is traded 24 hours a day,
6 days a week, and therefore one that is impossible to ignore. I'm
speaking, of course, about the forex market.
The question is, is this the tail that's wagging the dog? Meaning,
is the forex market, mainly the euro, dictating the trend in American
and European equity markets.
The answer is yes, for the moment it is. Now, if you're not familiar
with the forex markets and the euro, you should look at the ETF FXE,
the spot euro, and also the euro futures market at the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange (CME), as they are all tradable.
In today's short video we show you exactly how we think this currency will
play out in the future.
