this from fridays elliott wave (I know, they're a little vague)






    Now what? Both the U.S. House and Senate have each passed their respective versions of the big bailout bill and the president signed it into law today. But what happens now when the stock market decisively breaks down from current levels? A break lower here is when some degree of panic will arise since “the bill” that just passed is thought to somehow address the market’s problems. It won’t, nor can it. One day of stock market decline on Monday of this week wiped out over $1 trillion dollars of stock market capitalization, greater than the $700 billion (+) total of our tax money that is supposedly being allocated to “fix” the problem (with an estimated $152 billionof “pork” included for congressional pet projects, it’s a pig of a bill…ba da boom, please tip your waitress.). The market, by virtue of its sheer size, is the master. And here’s the kicker from a stock market technicians point of view: the same day that the bailout bill passes, which will supposedly save the world, the Dow Jones Transportation Average closes beneath its January low, thereby reconfirming the major Dow Theory bear market signal issued last November. EWT, EWFF and STU subscribers have been bearish since the dual market highs last July-October, and we even alerted you to the original Dow Theory Bear Market signal last November. So even this venerable market signal is falling in line with our forecast and all the Dow Theorists should now agree.

    Thanks Maggi for the chart.

    Thanks vmath for posting that.  EWII and several others also talk a lot about the TED Spread.  I know that they said it is the difference between the safer US T-bills and the Libor and the implications are NOT good here right now and that while credit spreads continue to widen the stock market should remain under downward pressure, at times severe.

    We may have had some talk of this on the blog and I missed it but if you or someone here can explain the Ted Spreads implications in some basic terms, I would also appreciate that. and even a chart that I could save to Stockcharts.

    Maybe Bloomberg is the only one with this chart as it does not seem readily available.  Fina

    according to Elliott Wave. Safe Money reports has been calling for a major depression similar to the 1930's for the last five years. HS Dent has been calling for a major rally before the markets melt down, who the heck is right? Appears that HSDent might be a little off ;)

    is that HS Dent's current

    is that HS Dent's current thinking or out of his books?  if books which one?

    I "believe" HS Dent had

    I "believe" HS Dent had the top in somewhere between 2008-2010 (or 2009-2010) in the "Great Boom Ahead" (written in the mid 90's I think)...granted the Dow never reached 30-40k as he thought it would but either way I'm guessing his depression scenario is/has arrived...sad times my friends, sad times....I wouldn't be "surpirsed" to see a late 2001 type rally (ie maybe we get back to 1300+...not sure how we do it but have to consider it a possibility as this year is so correlated to 2001 with the 10/20 month moving avgs, bollinger bands, etc).

    yes he did i have
