"POINT" OF VIEW NEWSLETTER
DATED JULY 21ST 2002
CAP-PUKE-U-LA-SHUN
Whoa there folks, is this it?..Biggest day for volume on the big board, and down hard for the whole week..in fact the whole month...Capitulation seems like it happened, just the way we envisioned it would...i thought it happened last week..no ceegar there...and never did get a chance to go heavily long..but still think that way..i have seen this before and traded it like a pro...
Well my cyberfriends, I hope all is well with you and yours...and especially with your families and friends in this treacherous market...
It never ceases to amaze me how things get so overblown, out of proportion to the up side or the downside..right?..They either are buying this market with both fists or selling it the very same way..ya gotta laugh, even though it's not too funny for those folks sitting there like deer in the headlights doing nothing...Or still worse are ruined for the rest of their lives...I set that blame squarely on the shoulders of ALL stock brokers and Financial Advisors..They failed the American public miserably and have not come forward to admit it...No they just keep on lying and hedging...Jail is TOO GOOD for them..Make em' pay all the lost money back...hurt THEM where THEY hurt America...right in their pocketbooks..
As for the liar scum bag CEO's, jail and pay backs out of THEIR compensations should be the order of the day..Make then give back every damn cent to the shareholders of their company stock in the 401K's...EVERY DAMN CENT...it pisses me off that those politicians just are not tough enough and never have been for John Q Public...Anyway we'll see what our fearless leaders can bring to the table to heal all of those that suffered for so long now at the hands of the criminals in the Corporations and on Wall Street...
Ok so where are we headed now...I think we're a lot overdone, and we'll have a solid technical bounce next week and beyond...It won't be too much on the upside but valuations are compelling here, and the street is very very bearish here..Exactly the way I like it..Couldn't be a better scenario right now...I want you all to understand that any rally up here is still a short all rally bounce for now...Understand this much, as we head toward the anniversary of 9-11 the markets will selloff and pullback for fear of another planned attack...That's obvious...and of course we'll await that outcome with baited breath...I am not standing in the way of that potential debacle...better late than never...we can always invest..
It may come to pass that the suggested Macro Cycle lows of Oct could be the exact same set up as last Sept...those were in fact the lows of the year and we rallied up like a frightened mouse<g>...It could all work out that way again..While I'm not speculating here, just trying to think a bit ahead for us...So where do we place our money now? Glad you asked<vbg>...Bio Techs and of course Semis...I actually for the first time ever like the bio's better than the semis...There chart patterns and indicators are all turning positive while everything is cascading down here..a solid divergence in my thinking here...So let's get on with everything we need to know to make some coinage in the coming week or so...
HERE'S ALL THE INDEXES WE LOVE AND FOLLOW...CARNAGE WAS THE NAME OF THE GAME EXCEPT FOR THE NAZI/COMP...AND THE SOX...
DJIA---FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH ALL THE OTHER INDEXES AND SOLD OFF BIG TIME...FROM THE MAY TOP AT 10,350 WE ARE DOWN 2350 POINTS...SOME PLUNGE HUH?...IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN VERY ORDERLY IF YOU CHECK THE DAILY CHART...1ST LET'S SEE IF IT CAN RALLY UP TO THE TOP OF THIS MAJOR BEARISH BAR AT 8400...THE ACTUAL 20 EMA DAILY IS AT 8875 AND FALLING...AN IMPORTANT FACTOR HERE ARE ALL THE NYSE P&F INDICATORS...THE % ABOVE 10 WEEK IS AT 12%, THE HI-LO INDEX AT 22.94% IS NEARING HISTORICAL LOWS 20% IN 2000 12% IN 2001...THE BIG BOY BP IS THE NYSEBP AND IT'S RIGHT AT SUPPORT HERE AT 34%...IT WOULD TAKE A 6% MOVE UP TO 40 TO REVERSE THIS INDEX...AND THE OFFENSE WOULD COME ON THE FIELD BIG TIME...GET READY FOR IT...BTW FWIW..THE ENTIRE SECTOR BP'S THAT WERE AT 65% AND 100% OVERBOUGHT, ARE NOW AT 32% AND ALMOST 100% OVERSOLD...
