Trump declines the Presidency, my wife declines a guest spot on the program, and Mr. Las Vegas informs us that Jesus has oficially declined to return this Saturday May 21, 2011 much to the chagrin of the folks behind the billboards. All that and so much more. How do we pack so much into 2:25:47 ? Wheat thins and anti-coagulants my friend... The Official Talk Radio Breakfast of Champions!
We are still faced with an economic picture that simply reeks of a slothful recovery! The US Dollar Index as of late has even pressured the indices. The US Dollar may encounter some topping action soon, perhaps allowing for a pause in the downtrend of the E-Mini S&P 500. Unfortunately, today was fraught with negative reports. Manufacturing output was down 0.4 as auto parts may have been sparse due to the earthquake in Japan hampering production. Forecasts released on the US Manufacturing and services sectors were optimistic expecting manufacturing revenue to grow 7.7 this year. It is still slower than the 7.9 increase of last year. Housing Starts and Permits suffered with all of the foreclosed properties priced under market value. The Housing Starts and Permits were down 10.6 to 523,000 units. Highlights from the Stocks Sector! Hewlett-Packard Co. fell 9.1% to $36.18. Caterpillar fell 3.8 to $102.08. Wal-Mart fell 0.9 to $55.54. While we remain quite bearish on this market, we may see a slight reprieve bounce tomorrow, unless the Euro Zone comes in with further downgrades. Often when we get a spike down on a market that may have been a slight over extension, that market may simply have to pull-up.
Wednesday, what to expect! We are technically now still in sell mode on the Daily Chart for the moment within a channel! Wednesday, we look for an inside to slightly higher day! Today’s range was $1332.00 - $1316.00. The market settled at $1325.50. Our comfort zone or point of control for this market appears to be $1325.50. Our anticipated potential range for Wednesday’s trading may be $1335.50 - $1323.00. The market stays bearish below $1362.50.
We are getting close to QE2 ending. The Fed is currently buying about 70% of our Treasury offerings. Bill Gross of PIMCO, the world’s largest bond fund – has no exposure to US Treasury bonds (heretofore, viewed as one of the safest investments on the planet). China and Japan have found better things to do with their money.
