Good Morning GZ: I am getting ready for more snoozing in the markets today. There was an article somewhere that mutual funds were loading up on stocks this week. If they are right, in a year they might pay off.

GZ, This market is really hard to read. For the time being I do feel that the upside has greater potential than downside. Seeya <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< INDEX UPDATE -------------------- Closed out of all my PUT positions this week. I am suspecting another STAIRSTEP is developing right now which is similar to the STAIRSTEP in AUG with the range in the 8300-8750 range. I am expecting a pop to the upside to the mid/upper part of this range shortly, then back down later next week, staying within the STAIRSTEP. The AUG STAIRSTEP was to the downside, but this STAIRSTEP can go either way. I probably will not be playing the following upswing since I am not comfortable with the position of my short-technicals for the major indexes. The DOW is in oversold region and gave a CLASS 2 BUY signals for yesterday, but the NAZ is in the overbought region with a current reading of 85(80 and higher is overbought). Having such a large divergence makes me uncomfortable to initiate a position. The SPX is at 34 and the OEX at 29 which is in the the lower mid range. I still feel the market will move up soon, and as soon as today but in light of the divergence between the NAZ and the DOW it may be a choppy upswing, or a small upswing. If the following dip, near the end of next week is a more unified dip and stays within the STAIRSTEP then the following upswing should be the better entry point for longs. To recap: 1) choppy upswing to start as soon as today into early next week 2) short small dip next TUE/WED/THUR 3) stronger upswing thereafter if preceding dip stays within the STAIRSTEP(8300-8750) Seeya
