Markets demonstrated bullish behavior Friday, beginning the session wobbly, and finishing strongly. For the week the Nazz gained 6%, while the S&P 500 was up 4.75%. Volume was soft compared to normal weekly levels, however. Both indexes remain 14% from their 52 week highs. Just a quick look at how other world indexes are performing YTD and the US does not seem that bad. The S%P 500 sits down 6.4% for the year compared with Brazil lower by 20.8%, India 27.1%, China 14.2%, Russia 16.5%, Germany 15.1%. I guess you can say we are the best in a bad lot, for now. I believe (however opinions are worthless, let the price action dictate), that we are in the midst of a bear market, but with so many former leaders well below their 50/200 day MAs, there is plenty of room for them to run before resistance rears its ugly head. The S&P 500, itself can rally to 1260, more than 80 points, before encountering 50 day obstruction. It is hard to get excited long term when defensive groups such as food/beverages, gold, utilities, tobacco are displaying strong leadership. Their are some bright spots, with percentage of bearish investment advisers climbing, a contrarian sign. Some leaders continue to hold up well. Both AAPL MA have bounced off formidable 50 day support recently. TIF, gave a sweet earnings report and more importantly raised future guidance. It rallied 20% for the week and retook its 200 day MA in the process. Beaten up retailers, FOSL UA, up 31% and 28% respectively for the week on both short covering and upgrades. Both also retook 40 week MAs. LULU gained 14% on the week after finding 200 day support earlier in the week. Silver stock SLW, showing constructive action, looks to be forming a cup base. As always be selective, utilize discipline, and buy leaders, and demand strong volume. Not much in the way of earnings Monday.
