Look: I am eager to learn stuff I don't know--which requires actively courting and posting smart disagreement.

But as you will understand, I don't like to post things that mischaracterize and are aimed to mislead.

Taking Stock

After 4 up days ending in a gain of 5.15%, I was not surprised to see a pull back in the SP500 on Tuesday.  But I was astounded by the magnitude, and then the follow-through.  At Friday's lo, 3837.08, the index was almost 14 points [0.36%] under 3850.76.

This is the .786 retracement level from the 8/16 hi, the last reasonable level to support the current increasingly wobbly bull case.  It's also in the midst of a support/resistence range between 3700 and 3900, dating back to June.

The only slightly bright glimmer I can find is that after hitting the day's lo shortly after noon, the Index rose 36.25 points [0.94%] into the close at 3873.33.  Most of this rise happened after 2:30 p.m.

If the index continues falling next week, then the 6/17 lo is at risk.  Then, if that is breached, The Index could reach as lo as 3200.
