One thing that troubles me

    Posted by matt on 25th of Aug 2008 at 04:38 pm

    One thing that troubles me today is that out of all the sectors I watch, none of them were up! Normally you see at least some sectors up, but today none of the sectors were up. This could be a sign of money leaving the market instead of rotating. Out of 91 sectors, zero were up!

    Again, it's low volume and 1260 pivot support continues to hold for the SPX, if that support is lost, then Ravun's chart won't play out and we could start accelerating to the downside

    No sectors were up today

    Does it mean that mining stocks are following the market towards a quick drop? Smart money is leaving the market, there is no doubt about that. What concerns me is that the gold sector is going in the same way.

    yes, it really feels like a 1-2-i-ii on SPX and the DOW, however, lack of volume is makes all moves look suspect

    a lot of people seem to think there's a big drop coming.  Not everybody -- there are still plenty of guys on TV saying finaicials are a buy.  Someone today was saying the bottom is starting to form on housing.  So there's not extreme sentiment which you might bet against -- but a lot of people, from RBS on, seem to think a big drop is coming soon.

    those on TV..calling the bottom
