hmmmm, anybody know why SKF did a sharp reverse at the end of the day?

Both are Ag futures indexes

DBA PowersShares Agriculture Fund:

25% each: Corn, Wheat, Soybeans, Sugar

JJG iPath AIG Grains ETN:

Soybeans 38.4%, Corn 36.2%, Wheat 25.4%

My guess is sugar is not a mover, thus I like JJG better.

However my big question, is it to late to jump in? I thought since they are futures, that its to late? 

I just read my mid day BPT email Alert.

THANKS!

hmmmmmmmmm,

Tech is leading, XLF is raising, oil is maybe flat, Dollar ?

Most corp forecasted next qtr results the same as last qtr results.

Could this short term one week mini rally be more then just a mini rally?

Stock's Price performance CONSISTENCE.

Yes, I would appreciate very much if you can use your IBD service to do the scan.

Thanks

If you can, email me the results to

joe_m_madison@ yahoo.com

again thanks

How can I create the following stock(s) search?

I want to know which stocks have the best CONSISTENCE, PER QUARTER, for the last 5 years from June 1, 2003 to June 1, 2008.

To be clear, I am not looking for which stock(s) have the best 5 years return, but which stocks have been in the top 20% quarter after quarter after quarter.

The tools I have allow me to search 4wks, 13wks, 26wks, 52wks, 1yr, 3yrs, 5yrs. But I was hoping for a quarter by quarter search.

thanks

I very much appreciate your Watch List and understand its only a suggestion. Please don't change anything. Its the best "IDEAS list" I have seen. Please give everyone a little more time to digest it.

AND thank you for providing and maintaining the list!

hmmmmm maybe you could change it to "Trades to Consider"

again, THANK YOU!

Question to anyone:

Where can I chart the Baltic Dry Index with Moving Averages?

thanks

Using Baltic Dry Index and Copper as INDICATORS

Check out the following article: A very good review on cooper and Baltic Dry index as good indicators for the market status.

http://www.yuppiepig.com/2008/05/whats-flavour-of-this-commodities.html

Is it(market) a sharp decline followed by a corrective bounce? (Last Aug/Jan) Or is it more of a corrective 'bull flag' correction? (Last Nov/Mar)

One interesting pattern seems to be that these types of corrections tend to alternate. Sharp declines in Aug and Jan were separated by corrective bull flags in Nov and Mar. Does this suggest we are in for a more severe decline; one where we may test the 250 day EMA?

Each of the sharp declines occurred in tandem with broad market sell-offs and war cries that 'global growth is dead!!'. I haven't heard any of that this time around. In fact, it's been the exact opposite. Should that begin to appear in the media, it may present the beginnings of a corrective bull flag morphing into a sharp sell-off. But for now, that just is not the case.

One other characteristic is that copper and the Baltic dry index should lead a decline in a 'global growth is dead' type commodities correction. (regardless if it actually happens) Copper appears that it may actually break to new highs (though it did decline aggressively late last year, and the correction in other commodities was quite mild) and the Baltic dry index remains at a healthy level. So currently, I'm inclined to believe that the current correction will be of the milder bull flag corrective style, which will consolidate around the 50 day EMA or graze the 150 day EMA on most charts.

To blumooncurrency

The $BP means a Bullish Percent Index of other index. ENER is for oil and oil services index.

The $BP shows for of all the companies in the index, how many are bullish versus bearish. With a $BP index, all the companies have an equal weight of one.

In most "normal" indexes like XLE, they are "weighted" In XLE is EXXON which is the largest of all the other companies. In XLE when EXXON moves up or down it has a very big impact on the "weighted" index. In can hide what the other companies are doing.

Stockcharts is one of the few charts services charting $BP. I contact Fidelity, Schwab, TDAmeritrade, & Scottrade, only Schwab was willing to load up the $BP upon requested!

For more info, I suggest you search this site, google, review help at Stockcharts and most important look at Matt’s AWESOME training video on using the $BPENER as a trading tool.

What do you think about copper?

Is it really for a breakout?

If yes, what is a good stock to consider? or ETF?

Matt, in your videos for your custom Slow Stoch %K,%D, you use both 60,3 and 60,5.

When should I use 60,3 versus 60,5?

It seems you are using 60,5 for daily charts and 60,3 for weekly charts. Is this correct?

thanks 

In my below post about AROON, it's not AROON, but the Aroon OSCILLATOR.

Sorry for the mistake

AROON & Slow STO(60,5) are VERY similar

Check out AROON versus Slow STO(60,5), they are very similar. Being a swing trader I like the AROON for the sharp 90degree turns as a very clear signal.

For XLE charting (with EMA20 & EMA45), I am now using AROON, ADX, $BPENER(with EMA9)

Why do I see &nbsp in many of the messages?

GREAT Newsletter!

Thanks, and I could hear audio OK!
