Today's a classic example of "Silly Season". CRAZY!

Hello fellow traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 20th of December.

"Silly Season" runs from 12/15/11 to 1/07/12.

That being said, here are my five key "Silly Season" recommendations for you.

1. Enjoy time with your family and friends.
2. Be appreciative what you have, not what you don’t have.  There are always folks that are less fortunate.
3. Give something back.  It doesn’t matter what it is, or how small.  It will make you feel good.
4. Enjoy the season. Forget about the markets, they will be there next year.
5. Take some quiet time for yourself to regenerate your spirit.

3 ETF's to watch in 2012
These are three core ETF's we expect will have big moves in 2012.

3 Stocks having big moves today

We will let our Trade Triangle technology analyze these three stocks and make that call.

Now, let’s go to the one truth we count on everyday here at MarketClub, our Trade Triangle Technology!

S&P 500 INDEX
————-
BIG PICTURE: Emerging Trend

The support we outlined for this index yesterday around the $1200 level (which represents a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement) proved to be potent.  Look for resistance around the $1260 level today.  Our Chart Analysis Score of +70 illustrates an emerging trend to the upside.  Two of our three Trade Triangles are now green, signaling that intermediate term traders should now be out of this market.  Long-term traders should either be in cash or continue to hold short positions in this index with appropriate money management stops.

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long-Term Trends = Bearish
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Bullish
Daily Trade Triangles for Short-Term Trends = Bullish

Combined Strength of Trend Score = +70

No Change from yesterday's comment's. Gold has a Chart Analysis Score of +55, which equates to an trading range. With our monthly Trade Triangle so far remaining in a positive position, we are longer term bullish on this metal.

BIG PICTURE: Trading Range

With today’s Chart Analysis Score of +50, the market is in a trading range.  As stated numerous times, copper generally reflects economic conditions, and as such is influenced by equity prices.  With equity prices moving higher today, it is in return reflected in higher copper prices. The major trend based on our monthly Trade Triangle continues to be negative.Long-term traders should continue to hold short positions in copper with appropriate money management stops. Intermediate term traders should now be on the sidelines.

REUTERS/JEFFERIES CRB COMMODITY INDEX
————-
BIG PICTURE: Strong Bearish Trend

This index continues to have problems holding a rally and now has resistance coming in at the $297 level.  We consider the $292 level a key support level for this market as it represents a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement point. Based on our Trade Triangle technology showing a score of -85, this index is in a strong bearish trend.  With two of our three Trade Triangles red, we remain firmly entrenched in the bear camp. Our long, intermediate and now short-term Trade Triangles remain negative for this index. Long-term and intermediate term traders should continue to hold short positions in this index with appropriate money management stops.

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long-Term Trends = Bearish
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Bearish

  1. Nothing especially unusual or unexpected, just everyday activity in a very technical market. It´s very much driven by computers which of course are extremely technical and very partial to correlation. This is dangerous because increasing correlation means increasing herd mentality in the market. Market panics tend to be preceded by rising correlation.

    The bear in U.S. stocks is heading into the teens. There seems little doubt that it´ll last into the twenties or longer. It´s a monumental correction after decades of a debt binge in the face of a still rising tsunami of technological advances, incredible productivity increases and endless supply of dirt cheap labor. So, finally debt is being liquidated and cash preserved in anticipation of falling prices.

    During the first decade of the current bear the market has already collapsed by 50% twice and there have been the usual violent bear market rallies. In the next decade collapses on this scale will likely become more frequent. It´ll be heaven for alert and astute traders and of course insiders and big money but most of the rest will be wiped out if they keep their money in the market.

  2. "everyday" is an adjective. It means "ordinary" as "an everyday occurrence". Otherwise it should be 2 words.

    "We see this everyday error almost every day."

  3. OK: EMIL SE BO STRINJAL,KO BO DENAR NA MOJEM RAČUNU,--POZDREV IZ SLOVENIJE.

    "EMIL will agree when the money in my account,-POZDREV FROM SLOVENIA."
