Bailout Does Little to Curb Losses


Filed Under Market Commentary | 2 Comments

The House of Representitives did their best to approve a “Bailout Bill” that will, as advertised save the economy from the brink of collapse.  However, this failed to provide any sort of confidence for the market and stocks dove towards new lows.  Our Bear Market has been able to take out 50% of the gains from the low of 2002 thru the high of October 2007.  We’ve been able to do this within one year.  I do not see this turning around any time soon.  This market is not healthy, too many will be wiped clean trying to go long this market.  Monday’s session will be interesting to watch, will we get another Black Monday?

If I were new to the market I would be reading as much as I could.  That would include Jesse Livermore,  William O’Neil, Brad Koteshwar, Stan Weinstein, Darvas, Loeb, etc.  The most important thing to do is to study and study!  These markets are not healthy for any type of long term gains.  Remember, all the greats gave up on day trading even Jesse Livermore.  They all saw the writing on the way by holding long term positions and not short term.  It’ll be important when we do get a new bull market that you’ll be able to build long term positions for huge gains!

Keep on the sidelines and wait for the storm clouds to pass!

    Ok,
    I have an idea when the relief rally will begin.
    The market is 5 to 8 days max,away, and the bull rally should last at least 6 weeks minimum.
    I’ve been waiting for SPY 950 and one other chart signal.
