Comments for September 13, 2011

Looking ahead to Tuesday by reflecting back on Monday’s trading

MIXED SIGNALS FOR STOCK INDEX FUTURES

INDICES: 9/13/11 Higher for the cash and dow futures along with the S&P’s and nasdaq. To be truthful don’t like my present buy signals since the the longer term trend for the indices remain lower and to me it looks like the indices are in a retracement pattern. However, I have to give my signals as I see them not how I feel or else why follow the technicals long or short term. Either way, the indices look like they’ve topped out so my buy signals must be watched carefully especially since they are short-term so far. BUY SIGNALS FOR THE DOW, S&P’S AND NASDAQ. CALL FOR DETAILS.
