TJ,

If PMs follow energy, commodities, those are very weak right now. $CRB blew right through support:

For the last 2 yrs $WTIC has held at 50wk dma, but it has never looked more tentative than now, Stochastics barely turning up:

$HUI:$CRB making the same moves it did in May 06:

Even $HUI:GLD breaking down:

Judging by Stochastics, and if MACD goes negative, HUI's 200dma at 320 could be the next stop, so short GDX?

Maybe we're finding out gold so far has been a commodity play and as $TNX heads to 4.9ish from 4.8ish now USD strength could be just another fly in the ointment for gold. I think better entry points in miners are ahead of us.

BTW, Contrary Investor has a good analysis of charts using Aug 31 data:
contraryinvestor.com

If you update those charts you get even worse conditions for DJ US Transports and sub-sectors like Trucking.

DIA, SPY, QQQQ bearish positions look good here, I wouldn't touch long tech positions until we have a pullback and find out which stocks have relative strength.

While chips amy be coming out of a recession and MSFT may be launching Vista, the market is still dealing with INTC layoffs and potential Vista delays.

Only a managed market wouldnt crash here <vbg>
