The Market Bulls Will Throw In The Towel At These Levels

Down   Chart

This month is shaping up to be a strong negative month for the global equity markets. The S&P 500 is down a whopping 11.34% for the month and 3.9% on the year. The DOW is a little better-down only 9.58% for the month and 3.45% for the year.

Despite today’s late covering rally, the bigger picture indicates that we are down overall on the week and the month.

Here are the levels that if, and it is an if, the markets break, then the stock market bulls will throw in the towel.

Here are the key levels of support for the month of May for the major indices:

SP500 – 1044
DOW – 9,835
NASDAQ – 2,100

Let’s see how the markets act for the balance of the month. It will be interesting.

Every success,

Is It Déjà Vu All Over Again for the Dow?

FIRST PUBLISHED ON 2/10/2010

In today’s video we examine the crash of 1929 and the similarities to Dow 2010. This video is not meant to scare anyone, but to educate investors and traders of the possibilities that may exist in today’s market.

We could be, repeat, could be very close to a tipping point similar to that of 1930 when the Dow had ended a 50% correction to the upside. This years Dow pattern was a 62% correction (see current chart on Dow). I invite you to watch this video and see if it makes sense to you.

When one euro equals one dollar … don’t be surprised

Don’t be surprised when one euro equals one dollar… it could happen.

As everyone in the Western World knows, Europe has been having its share of major problems. All of Europe’s trials and tribulations have had a dramatic effect on the performance of the euro, recently putting it under severe pressure.

Unlike the United States, where we can print money and inflate ourselves out of most problems, the Eurozone is accountable to the 16 nations who gave up their own currency to join.

I have had a lot of calls and e-mails about doing a video on the euro, so I looked at the markets and made a video to share my thoughts with you.

Where to place your stops in gold

Gold is the most popular market that we cover, and whenever we write about it, or produce a video featuring this precious metal, unsurprisingly, it also tends to generate the most passion of any market that we cover. With gold making new highs recently, I thought it would be timely to put together a video showing you where we are placing our short-term stops. The video is about 90 seconds long and shows you in a very visual way, what we’re looking at in this market.

The video is available for viewing now and there is no charge or registration requirement.

Has the S&P 500 topped out?

This past weekend I visited some friends in Texas. The reason I bring this up, is that these folks are very worldly and very smart. During my visit, the conversation naturally turned to the market and what is going on.

Here is what I took away with me when I left Texas: There are a lot of very nervous people in the market. I think this nervousness has been obvious in much of the market action, and it is not likely to go away anytime soon.

One of the great things about our “Trade Triangle” technology is that it both takes emotion out of the market and gives you a game plan to be successful. In this short video you will see exactly what I mean.

We’re always interested in your views and comments and encourage you to visit our blog to let us know what you think.

Crude oil breaks $70 a barrel, and we are short

The crude oil market broke through an important support zone and appears to be very much on the defensive. In this new short video on crude oil, I point out some of the levels that I still think are important in this market and illustrate just how important it is to use both stops and our “Trade Triangle” technology.

It is a short video and there is no charge or registration requirement in order to view.

Stevenson High Update – All 6 teams finished in top 10 in state competition.

If you’ve been following the Traders Blog for a while, you are probably familiar with our sponsor school, Stevenson High in Lincolnshire, Illinois. I was contacted by a passionate teacher who wanted to provide his students with a tool to help them increase their success in their stock market competitions. I want to share an update we received from the economics team after they participated in the Illinois State Economic’s competition. They did great and I am so happy to share their success with you.

Lindsay,

It has been some time since we have communicated. I want to tell you how well our Economics Club performed in the Illinois State Economics competition. Of the 42 teams that competed we placed 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 9th, all in the top 10. Last year we had one place in the top ten and that was 2nd.

Thanks to MarketClub for all the help you provided. The students used MarketClub for research and informative articles. It was well worth their time and, as can be seen by the results, important for their understanding of how basic economic principles can be applied to real world situations.

Thank you so much for your interest in what we are doing here at Stevenson and I hope we can continue with you next year.

Sincerely,

*Teacher’s name removed for privacy*
Adlai E. Stevenson High School

We are so proud of the Stevenson High Economic’s club!

Best,

The 6 Advantages of ETFs

ETFs, or Exchange Traded Funds, have increased in popularity over the last few years, and for a number of reasons. Today, Price Headley of BigTrends.com, is going to give us the low-down on everything we need to know about this increasingly utilized financial product.

We hope you’ll enjoy today’s guest blog post and perhaps consider adding ETFs or ETF options to your portfolio in the near future. As always, we’re interested in hearing what you have to say about this post or your experiences trading ETFS in our comments section.

——————————————————————————————————————————-

In recent years the popularity of ETF Options has exploded.  At BigTrends.com we have focused on ETFs for quite some time now.

The issue with ETFs and ETF Options has always been liquidity, but things have changed in that regard.  Due to the advantageous architecture of ETFs, more investors are hedging their portfolios with ETF options.  To understand the reason these vehicles are changing the options environment, let’s take a look at the underlying securities and their benefits.

1. ETFs Trade Like a Stock - Unlike mutual funds or hedge funds which can only be entered or exited at the market close each trading day, ETFs can be bought and sold intraday.  They can even be day-traded just like stocks.  This advantage allows investors to make speculative bets on the direction of an index while still having the ability to exit the trade at any time of the day.  ETFs also allow short selling, as well as often being optionable.
