Calling recent stock market action a "buying stampede" unlike anything he's seen in more than 50 years of watching markets, Jeff Saut says the investors he talks to believe the rally is "artificially induced" and is set up for a crash. The big picture: QE remains, profits have risen along with stocks, the Advance/decline line has broken out to new highs - "there is nothing in the 'tea leaves' suggesting a repeat of double-digit declines" seen in the past 3 springs.

Thank you for your market positive comments. This way it goes down in an orderly manner. Oh yes and by the way there is a report on CNN about this down move being part of a stock market crash. Well done and balanced.Tells what is likely to come next.
The S&P 500 Is Approaching A Sell Signal [View article]
You guys are funny. Are any of you related to the 200 day moving average.........a member of the lagging clan? Read my article that I wrote back in Dec predicting this stuff. And my trading activity this morning.
The S&P 500 (SPY) has gone 505 days without a 10% correction, writes Steven Russolollo. It's just the 6th time this has happened since 1962, according to Birinyi Associates, and in each of the other 5 instances, the S&P averaged a 9.2% gain over the next 6 months, and 13% over the ensuing year.

Looks like she is going down the Babson trading profit ladder to me. You can see my comments on my blog as prices made the highs today.

Precisiontrader analysis suggests that 1520 spx is a number to watch for a temporary high. It would need to be followed by a drop past 1500 to give us a multi day drop of a few percent.
Looking at the bigger picture ........the banks of India....(HDB) are slowing.

Right you are and the trick is in the selection of the basket which needs to be updated regularly.
Our research has found that what is the best market indicator is a system basket of long and/or short stocks. The basket in very bullish patterns consists nearly only long positions and as the market turns to bearish, the stocks in the basket start including shorts. We simply look at the ratio of longs to shorts to get the trend. The benefit is that when the market goes below the 200 day moving average or your MA has turned negative our basket might be filling up with long positions.
Real time parallel simulated trading to date has resulted in a 9% avg monthly gain for the portfolio while the S&P was up an average of 2.2%. If this can keep up it will be a nice portfolio that has no head line risk, by having an equal position in the SPY, that is opposite in direction to the positions in the portfolio.
While looking for problems with this it was noted that about 1/3 of the stocks in the basket had a market cap of 1B+. As a result we are now performing another parallel market test that includes only 1B+ market cap and uses power move probable indicators to increase the size of the position.
In this portfolio it is not unusual to have a position in a stock for months. With a system that predicts trends accurately, this creates opportunities for development of other systems that utilize a shorter time frame and only look for moves that are less than 10%.

Market timing is possible with the right tools and training. Take last Friday around this time on this forum I said the market would make new highs and then drop 1-2% in the SPY.
That's what happened. Yesterday shortly after the close we had a textbook temporary top signal. What is the forecast now? If the market breaks the lows of this morning then down she goes for about 1%.
But remember this is an overall up trend and she goes down all the way up.

The pattern that i am referring to has occurred in the last year ......but on a daily chart and you can see when it occurred and your charts can tell you what occurred there after.
