Predicting the Next Market Turning Point

Every market has its proxy. During 1997 and 1998, I watched the Asian markets overnight to gauge how Wall Street was going to fare. Later, Amazon.com was my guidepost. These days, amid the mortgage fallout, I use a different proxy: the ABX derivatives index. While it may overstate the subprime bond losses, I stand by it as an overall market indicator. Even with Lehman's news Monday, ABX suggests more trouble ahead. After that passes, though, I think we could see a big rally in tech, which is doing fine, but waiting for investors to finally put the fear of a financial meltdown behind them.
