Given that
the S&P is transitioning out of the rising wedge, and that
oil/gold may be transitioning back up in a corrective wave (or
whatever), is it correct to think that there are no position trade
setups to go long on daily charts at the moment, and that we're
waiting for a trend to develop, to get into SDS/DXD/QLD, or
XLE/DIG, or GLD/GDX?

Short the broad market (see our SDS and DXD setups) and long the
energy complex (would like to see the XLE gain support of it's 20
day MA). However, this may only be some type of extended bounce in
energy since alot of damage has been done - only time will tell but
this area is setting up in a bullish fashion (needs to
confirm).
Personally, I despise many of the financial stocks (especially
the Wall Street Brokers who are helped create the whole mess.
Consumer discretionary stocks should also come under pressure with
the credit crunch and if oil catches a bid.
zara - it depends, you could buy
the oil stocks in the wedges i.e. we are Long DIG right now.
See my gold chart below, that is a set up. You have to adjust
to market conditions.
xle is your best bet long. starting to breakout of its
downtrend here with positive div on 60 and daily. gold was
also a good bet, but you may have to have wide stops.
