We all know about what AAPL did yesterday and what NFLX has been
doing. What about some of the other leaders? Draw your
own conclusions... maybe everybody was just nervous before the FED,
or maybe something else is happening. But when the leaders
start looking negative....be very careful. There are still
some stocks that look strong but not enough to keep me from going
full defense.

these may be some of the old leaders. there is always
rotation into new leaders and i'm seeing green shoots and signs of
life. aapl is the market leader and it broke out a couple of
days ago. take a look at HANS, CMG, CELG, NEM, RGLD,
ELGX. Netflix has probably had its day. MSFT has been
counted out for dead and is now coming back to life. even
CSCO is coming back to life. valuations are historically
cheap what is missing is confidence. once that comes back look at
we will be off to the races!

that is, when it really bottoms out. The con(fidence) game is
over for a while and has only been artificially maintained through
life support in the past few years. The fed could bring bigger
paddles this time, but global debt crises force balance sheet
contractions that don't get solved with liquidity and they don't
get solved quickly or without more pain than has already been
suffered. Valuations will be historically cheap when P/E's are in
the single digits and index yields are near 6%.

I'll be watching consumer confidence for a buy signal any year now...
