Dow Jones Industrial Average bounced back hugely with more than 11%. It reversed the dramatic slide in the past weeks, but the downtrend line is overhead right now. It would take some time to work it out the resistance or another drop is more likely after hitting the downtrend line.

The melt down continues. We have broken 9000 level. Looking back 10 years, the support level is around 7500.
Dow Jones Industrial Average is at oversold condition, but with current credit crisis still spreading and running its course, any technical bounce is possible but would not last long.
Unless you have significant cash positions, wait in sideline. Cash is king in this juncture.

US market was closed due to the MLK holiday but the other markets in the world had closed down a lot from 5 to 7%. Asia markets are down more than 5% the second day. How will the US market react? Unless it’s prolong decline, it might be a buying opportunity. But be carefuly the old saying “don’t catch the falling knife!”.
Dow Jones Industrial will break the 12,000 support for sure. Next support is 11,500.
Be careful tomorrow!

The reversal we were talking about came after all.
13,000, well a round number, is the major support. We will see if Dow Jones can hold itself, but the drop today is ugly.

It’s forming a triple top, likely reversal?
However, QQQQ broke out but the lighter than average volume makes the breakout less convincing.

It will have to test the previous high first. We might see a breakout from this ascending triangle. So the resistence is at 12,845 and then 13,000 if it breaks out.

In 2006, RUT performed the best followed by INDU and S&P 500. QQQQ recovered the 10% loss from the mid-year and ended up more than 5%.
Both QQQQ and RUT are in the overhead resistence levels, only INDU and S&P 500 broke out. INDU is at all-time high and S&P 500 is about 100 points away from its all-time high.

12,000 is at the rear mirror now. INDU has been strong in the past two weeks. Even though it’s in over-bought territory, INDU has the momentum to reach higher at year end rally. The mid-term election was over, the market did not over-react to the new political landscape in Washington.
In a poll marked by the lowest turnout since France’s regions were created in 1986, Mr Sarkozy’s party did manage to come out top in several places, such as Champagne-Ardennes, Ile-de-France, Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur (PACA) and Rhone-Alpes. But the two-round voting system allows more

I noticed that New Oriental (EDU) is within striking distance of its all-time high. All my old posts on EDU are trapped in blog purgatory, but I think long-time readers will remember my praising this stock as a no-brainer for years now (similar to Ctrip (CTRP)). Chinese people value education and more
A few weeks ago I read Paul Kedrosky’s post on how contrarianism is a fad and how he thinks that most contrarians are just posing for the camera. Jason Goepfert wrote a nice rebuttal (with an eye-catching title) about how there’s good reason to be a contrarian in certain situations. He more
