PAGING GOLD BUGS and SHORT INTEREST FREAKS

Here’s the latest (27 Dec) NYSE short interest report… this great link is courtesy waverider
http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2 ... tml#shortD

Interesting to note: the largest increase was GOLD (IAU) with a 745% increase in shorts…. hence large squeeze potential.
Also note the -62% decrease in short interest DZZ

Happy New Year !!
This last week was challenging to say the least, and exposed shortcomings in some of our indicators.
Mine in particular for example, when on Friday the market reversed down to lower lows on a measly ~1400 declining stocks out of ~3000. Unusual that less than half of all stocks downticking resulted in a drop like that.
Here’s a shortcoming with the NYADV/NYDEC. It measures breadth (3000+ stocks); it DOES NOT measure depth. In other words, if a stock is down five cents the NYSE computers see it as one single declining stock/issue. If another stock is down ten dollars or 15% (or whatever), the computers see it as one single declining stock/issue, even though its decline is radically deeper.

A cursory glance at ~3000 NYSE stocks Friday showed that about ~34 stocks were down 4% or more, which the NYSE counted as 34 stocks declining, versus for example International Paper IP which was down just four cents (-0.13%), and was counted as one declining stock.

I’ve never watched that before, so I have nothing to compare it against. I don’t do computer backtests, so I must move on. I just wanted to bring this shortcoming to your attention. Nothing is perfect….except Cobra… 8-)

On Friday I meant to write measured move down to 1252 /es, not $spx, apologies. That was quite a drop in the final five minutes to end the year slightly negative. I'm not permanently bearish or bullish, but from an investors point of view, it's made sense to be more bearish biased in the past decade because the S&P 500 has only gone sideways, and markets can fall much faster than they can rise. Obviously investors don't want to put their capital into a market that's had record volatility since the August 9th lows.

Also, for those blowing smoke saying "I think the market will be at 1300/1200 soon", these statements are completely invalid unless one can back it up with an excellent chart explaining why!

Thanks for the short interest link Al, it would be nice if WSJ would let us know how many of them were commercials and how many were specs.

Is the euro debt crisis unsolvable? In 1982, we had similar Latin American debt crisis and what happened to the SPX then, seemed not a big deal at all :mrgreen:

Spx hourly still in the up channel, but be aware of the cycle turn.
Daily, seems broke symmetrical triangle and doing the backtest now.
Weekly, bull not out of the woods yet, under heavy resistance.

Was the market going sideways for a decade in 1982? No, the trend was up. Also, please explain how the Latin American debt crisis was similar to the European crises. ;)

$SPX.png
Edit. Who knows, maybe we gap up Tuesday. We'll have to wait and see.



Nice series of charts Seawaves. When I look at a ten year chart of the $SPX, I see a trading range, and we're closer to the top than we are from the bottom. This chart is also a trading range, we're closer to resistance than support here. Notice the hourly $SPX dropped below the 20 EMA on the hourly here:

there is a thesis for readers who wonder what's the difference btw now and then. basically, there is nothing new under the sun. the same or semi-same story happened again and again. it's all from the same human nature :)

Agree with you BB52x about the long term, trend is up for now and it can go to around 1315 but carefully this month, if the rumor about that two world's largest financial institutions on the brink of collapse is true we are heading to a huge short opportunity from that level

tonight just chill out with the movie : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jQoScJFNj0

I like your Video, price level not confirmed but if we were to go as high as 1315 I would see it as very bullish.
