Spain

    $SMSI - Chart Link - Interesting there has been nice positive divergence in the Spain index building for a while, I noted this before in a newsletter.  Now the news comes up to justify it over the weekend.

    EWP - Chart Link - ETF, had broken a downtrend line on price and the ratio

    Matt, I don't get it; what's the bullish news on Spain?

    Can't be that Spain admits it needs 125 billion Euro to shore up its banks, nor can it be that their request has been granted.  After all, where's the money coming from, or should I say, where is it being printed?

    And with that news, Zerohedge reports that Ireland has asked that their bailout terms be renegotiated.  Can Greece be far behind?  Now that's certainly not bullish.  So why will the markets respond favorably to this absurdly irresponsible action?

    all I meant was that

    all I meant was that futures responded to the Spanish Bank Bailout news, I wasn't saying if it was positive or negative longer term, obviously the Europe has major structural issues and this doesn't solve that

    listen to the newsletter, I discuss the market scenarios that I see, I see this as a short term spike for the futures.  Otherwise I think the market is due for a lot of chop and volatility.
