This is the usual quick post announcing that the weekend's stock signals are now available at Alert HQ.
Today we have the following:
Stocks started the week with a nice rally but quickly ran out of steam. By Friday, the NASDAQ had suffered a 1% loss and, among the other major averages, the Dow was the only one to register a gain.
Tech encountered a double whammy with the semiconductor sector collecting a downgrade and Dell reporting significantly disappointing earnings. On the other hand, many retailers reported earnings and the news wasn't too bad. Economic reports were few and had little impact.
What did impact our signals at Alert HQ were the last two days of the week. Concerted selling on both days snapped the nice run of positive BUY signals. We now have a Trend Leaders list that is only one third the size it was earlier in the week. We are seeing leveraged inverse ETFs showing up as BUYs on the Trend Busters list. For those who follow our signals based on weekly data, we have a big increase SELL signals.
The takeaway is that caution is now required. Things started getting choppy during the previous week and this most recent week sees some major averages breaking below the first and weakest support level. Given the stair-step fashion in which indexes have been climbing, we can expect at least another 2% drop before stocks run into a serious support level that coincides with an important moving average. So by mid-week we should have some clues as to how serious this current decline will turn out to be.
In the meantime, keep an eye on our Swing Signals. When they turn up strongly after a downturn, that's the time to jump into the market.
