A frustrating day using Blogger. Looks like third party ISP users are getting the shaft with Blogger's FTP feature. Usually Blogger are fairly good at correcting these issues but this one has dragged - am I the only one to suffer? I have a free stock pick up on my parent site. If you are looking for the free stock picks this is the best place to start. I don't post stocks on a regular basis, although subscribers do get all picks by email via PDF - so they don't need to check back regularly to find updates. My daily market commentary is also available on the parent site home page. Annotated charts are kept on Stockcharts.com Public list for those who prefer their information visually. Other Bloggers to maintain public Stockchart lists are Danny Merkel at Goldstockprophet , Chris Perruna at Chrisperruna.com , Dane Jacobsen at Ecostocktrader.com , Hector Rivera at Rsstockcycles , and Bill Rempel at Bill Rempel, a.k.a. NO DooDahs! . Someone who I thought had Public S

On my parent website I have focused more on the main lead markets with the charts hosted by Stockcharts.com . The Dow theorists will want to take a look at the Transport Index. Monday saw a large inverse (bearish) hammer on heavy volume. Contributing to the toppy look was the stochastic 'sell' at overbought conditions and the extended nature of bullish trend strength. I have redrawn Fib retracements from before . I am liking the convergence of the 50% retracement and the 200-day MA as a downside target.

Another week for the Stockcharters to take a look at the market. Richard Crockett has taken a (very) similar route to me on the bullish percents: But does have a nice bull/bear chart for the S&P: Dr. Joe remains bullish on Agriculture: The US Dept of AGRICULTURE reported the 'Corn Harvest' is 7% lower than last year. They estimate the price of corn will go up another 30% this year. The cost of 'Feed' has already increased so much that farmers have cut back production of chickens and pigs. Basically this means the vast corn-chicken-pig related food products will keep going higher. Agriculture remains bullish. Joe gets his ConocoPhillips (COP) breakout, will Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM) be next? Ribbons on the rise (bullish): The Maurice homily - he is edging towards short positions, but advises caution: This market continues to hold up, despite recent selling pressures at resistance. The S&P 500 and the SPY broke out of inverse head and shoulders pattern today on th

I had noted back in early December how the semiconductor index was due a bounce following some heavy overselling. It responded by falling even further to January lows, but was able to stabilize and rally back to its 200-day MA. During the run to the 200-day MA it has barely paused for breath, and bullish trend strength has been steadily increasing [+DI > -DI; ADX at 30 and rising]. This boundless energy has translated into a positive 2 months for tech averages: Money flow is very positive and the break of the 200-day MA should be enough to extend the rally a little further, as it has done in the Nasdaq 100: But Bill over at VixandMore makes a good case for at least taking some profits off the table .

The Dow bullish percents look to indicate a top in the short term. I am watching Fibonacci retracements, which based on prior 'sell' triggers and Fibonacci interceptions suggest downside targets of 12,583 or 12,296. Markets off to a relatively quiet start.

At the start of February after breadth indicators reached all-time lows I gave a guesstimate as to what the S&P would do over the coming months. Other than the larger than expected dip in March it has remained relatively ontrack: But where does the market go next? S&P Breadth indicators are getting a little toasty which favors some modicum of weakness over the coming weeks. This would shake out the weak hands and leave the index better prepared for an upside break of the 200-day MA. The alternative is a straight break and run - with barely a pause at the 200-day MA.

I'm looking for a quick-and-dirty feedback request for market alerts. "Market Alerts" encompass price alerts (e.g. stock price alerts), stock fundamentals (e.g. P/E drops to 10), portfolio alerts (e.g. a stock holding in my portfolio drops by $200). Opinion Polls  &  Market Research Use the comments section to add your wishlist for market alerts (type, frequency, subject matter, etc....). Don't hold back on what you would consider the 'dream list' of features you would want for an alert. Particularly if what you want is not currently available, or you are someone who doesn't use alerts but would if you could do x, y and z. Also consider delivery options; email is the main one, but what about iphone, sms, twitter? Would you use alerts if they could be routed to you in different ways? Your wish may come true and it won't cost a you a penny to get it!
