8 April 2006

It was another good week….Well that is until Friday it was good. Basically all the weeks gains were erased with several reasons given for the drop. Whatever…The S&P 500 closing below 1295 doesn’t bode well for a run higher.

The Weekly Wrap: Saturday, April 1, 2006 (No Fooling!)

1 April 2006

For the week, some were up and some were down. The FED raised from 4.5% to 4.75% with no hint that raises were about to end. Oil was also up, closing the week at $66.63 per barrel. Down were the DOW and the S&P 500. The range for the S&P 500 for a while now […]

Microsoft delayed the consumer launch of Windows Vista. AAPL - Apple, Inc. fell every day this week to close at $59.96 […]

18 March 2006

The S&P 500 was up every day this week. Has this converted me back to the bullish side? NO! I still think we are in topping mode.

Wow, was that a boring week? Don’t get your hopes up with that Friday rally. I don’t think a change is coming. I think we are still headed down and if you look at the ^NDX you will see the dreaded “Head and Shoulders” pattern.

4 March 2006

It was a mixed week on Wallstreet with some indices up and some down. Markets are consolidating for their next move. The question is, will it be up…or down? Oil was up about a dollar a to close at $63.30 a barrel.

25 February 2006

An optimistic week with most markets ending slightly up (DJIA was down a bit). Basically another congestion week but February short interest dropped across the board. I still think we are close to entering a decline.
