            Clinched SELL S9 vs Santa Claus Rally


     The futures have turned up at this point and no longer show a weak opening.  Weakness may still
     break the recent support at 11760 on the DJI.  Not many stocks look as bullish as LQDT below... 

     Instead, many MINCP stocks show heavy red distribution and Closing Power new lows. 
    That suggests to me the odds are good the DJI will need to test its 10 week price uptrend-line
    at 11539 in the next few trading days.  I think we have to be buyers of DIA there because of the bullish
    Santa Claus period we are about to enter.  On the buy side, I would stick with defensive stocks or DIA.
    If there is no more pullback on Monday, we will be buyers on Turesday.  What could spark a rally?
    Successful peace talks in Aghanistan, for one thing.


                                                Not enough stocks loook like this.

    The DJI keeps selling off from its daily highs but refusing to close below the 21-day ma
    Clearly there are buyers who expect a Santa Claus rally.  The problem is the Sell S9
    signal will not be satisfied until the lower band is reached.  I have found the best time to
    buy based on the Santa Cluas rally's 89% probability of producing a rally is at the close
    of December 17th or the next trading day.   Monday will be the 19th.   The avg gain for
    the following 10 day is 1.7% going back to 1965.  The odds as better than 3:1 that the
    DJI will be higher 10 trading days forward.  What do we do?   Our Stocks Hotline is
    hedged with 5 long positions and short 7.  I think we have to cover the general market ETF short
    sales on Monday or Tuesday because of the 3:1 probability generally of a rally until after
    Christmas.  Hopefully, we will see a DJI decline to 11600 to do that..  That should be a good entry point for
    buying DIA.  Our Stocks' Hotline is still short more stocks than we are long.  Let's see what
    Monday brings.  Notice the Hotline will be at a new location Monday night.

    There have been 4 December Sell S9s. 

                                                December S9s' Aftermaths
          1957  The DJI rallied to 12/31/1957 and then fell below the lower band
          1982  The DJI fell immediately from the S9 on 12/7 to the lower band on 12/15/1982 and rallied.
          1999  The DJI fell only to the 21-day ma on 12/17/1999 and then rallied to the upper band
          on 12/28/1999 for another Sell S9 and then declined quickly to the lower band on 1/4/2000
          before rallying quickly again to the upper band and beginning a big sell-off.
          2007  The DJI fell from the 12/7 Sell S9 to just below the 21-day ma on 12/18 and rallied 2.5%
          and formed a right shoulder on 12/26 in a head/shoulders pattern.  It then sold off sharly, breaking the
          lower band on 1/4/2000.

                    Which Side Will Win?  US Professionals or the Overseas Buyers?

 
      
The market now is like a tug of war.  The Europeans and the Public are busy
       buying over-night and at the opening.  But the NY Professionals and US institutions
       are selling the market off during the day.
The Sell S7 below shows this condition.
       Usually Professionals win out.  But they could change their mind because of the
       seasonality.  A strong close would show the Professionals are betting on a Santa
       Claus rally.  On the other hand, a very weak opening would probably mean that
       the Europeans have switched to the sell side and the Santa rally will be postponed.
       The SP-500 is trying to hold up at its rising 65-day ma.

       Which side is stronger depends on the circumstances. though nornally it
       is the Closing Power.   But it does depend on the times.  Which slide blinks first?.
       When there's a lot of Public speculation (as from 1997 to early 2000) or
       when Europe is in grave trouble (as now), then Opening Power is probably
       stronger.   When the Public is not in the market and Europe is quiet, Closing Power
       is much stronger and its trend will identify the real price trend.  What is important
       now is to see that
Professionals are not loyal to a rising or a falling market trend.
       What differentiates their behavior from the public is they are pragmatic "survivors", not
       ideologues.
They switch gears (as to the expected market direction) suddenly and
       buy instead of sell because they believe there is more potential on the upside. 
       This is apt to happen soon now because of the exceptionally strong seasonality of the market
       these coming two weeks, which they know to accept, anticipate and not to fight.
       at least until early January, when they can better assess the influx of investment funds
        for the new year.

    Clinched SELL S9 vs Santa Claus Rally


                   There are few good technical signs now, but a Santa Claus Rally is
                   a very real factor now.  See the studies in the last few Hotlines here.
                   The average gain for the DJI is 1.6% over the next 10 trading days,
                   going back to 1965.  The DJI was up 77.8% of the time.

                  Saturday will be December 17th, the day when Peerless
                  used to give a Santa Claus Buy signal.  That signal was
                  dropped because some of the paper losses were too
                  great.   Still, as you can see from our recent Hotline
                  studies, this is the time of the year when a rally usually
                  starts if the DJI is below its 21-day ma.  The DJI is now
                  slightly above that ma.  As the 17th falls on a Saturday this year
                  any additional decline would put the DJI in a zone where
                  below the 21-day ma, where we should probably do some
                  covering, including the recommended shorts on DIA, SPY and SDS.
                 
In deference to the Santa Claus rally traditition and how shallow
                  declines are from December 15th to December 31s, we will cover
                  many of our short sales on any further weakness by 1% or if their
                  CLosing Power downtrends are violated.
 

                  Three nights ago I showed the low points of the DJI relative to the 21-day
                  ma in the second half  December.   There were 27 cases where the DJI
                  dipped to or below the 21-day ma in mid to late December after 1940.  
                  Buying 3% or more below the 21-day ma would have been possible in
                  only 8 cases.  Buying 1.5% or more below the  21-dma would have been
                  possible in 13 cases.  Buying 1% or more below the 21-day ma could have
                  been done in 18 cases.  Another way of saying is that waiting for more
                  than a 2% decline would have worked out well in only  9 times: in 1972, 1975,
                 1980, 1983, 1991, 1996, 1997, 1998,  2000.  That is just once in the last 10 years.
                  I conclude that we can't count such a deep decline. 
It will be most consistent
                  with past dips at this time of year to cover on any 1% weakness or on a close
                  below the 21-day ma next week.

                 
                 Breadth was good today.  There were nearly 800 more up than
                 down on the NYESE.   See the A/D Line chart below.
                 The A/D Line did turn up in vicinity of its 13-week uptrend.
                 While the Tiger Closing Power remains in a downtrend,  it looks
                 oversold (far below its 21-dma) and the Openings have been up
                 very strongly.  See the second chart below.  I would think that  Openings
                 will remain strong as long as the EURO remains quiet.  Remember:
                 politicians usually go away for the next two weeks.  That also means
                 that Congress will likely agree to a compromise to keep the government
                 running.

    12/14/2011     I see no reason to cover our short sales yet.  ASell S9 usually brings a decline
    to the lower band.  The A/D Line uptrendline going back to Septmber was violated today
    and the CLosing Powers are declining.  The bearish MINCP stocks have been weak, some
    spectacularly.  The decline seems likely to tag the price uptrendline that now crosses at 11511.92. 
    The failure of the DJI to even reach its declining resistance line near 12600 on th elast rally
    is bearish until the 11400-11500 is successfully tested.  The P-Indicator and V-Indicator are
    clearly negative.  The only buy signal we can get on this weakness is an old, no longer used
    Peerless Buy on December 17th.  The Santa Claus Buy signal.   This, I should add is less trustworthy
    after a Sell S9.


                    Can Santa Claus be counted on this year?

    The B17 takes place on the first such occurrence between December 17th and December 24th
    where the DJI closes below its 21-day ma.  (CL/MA <1.0 )
    Below are the statistics of Santa Claus B17s. Cases where the DJI is in a generally uptrending
    markets avoid most of the serious losses, but not that of 2007.   If the presence of a recent Sell S9/S12
    is factored in, the failed 2007 Santa Claus B17 would be over-ridden.   But using that rule would
    mean we get no Buy B17 this year, because of the recent Sell S9.

         Though this signal usally works out, there are some very big paper losses.   The biggest being
         the 10%-11% losses in emerging bear markets in 2000 and 2007.  Where there have been
         multiple Sells in a trading range after a long advance, we have to be a bit leery of Santa Claus
         B17s.  That would seem to apply to 2011.

   12/12/2011  Sell S9s versus Santa Claus.

    I now count 4 Sell S9 in December before Christmas in DJI bull markets,
    like the present. You can study their charts below.  In two cases the DJI had to wait
    unti late December or early January to peak and then decline (1956 and 1999).
    But in two cases (1983 and the  bearish breakdown of December 2007) waiting
    for a new high at the end of December or in early January would have been a bad idea.
    The Paper Losses in these 4 cases was very small, no more than 2% in any case.
    We have to stay short and look for a decline to the lower band still.

                        A Big Decline This Month Is NOT Expected.

    Big declines below the lower band, another 3% down, very seldom happen in December
    unless there is already a bear market.   Declines to or below the lower 3.5% band 
    occurred only in 1933, 1980 and 1998.  3 times in 43 bull market years. 

             >The Blue data *15 cases) below show the most common occurrence: a decline
                around the 20th and before the 25th, below the 21-dma (LA/MA <1.)
                and the a January rally to the upper band.
              > Bottoms after December 25th in December are unusual. 6 cases.
             > A December close more than 3.5% below the 21-day ma is most ununusal. (LA/MA< .965)

     A decline to near the DJI's lower band now would first require the DJI closing more than
    100 points lower to break its 21-dma.   The DJI today closed right at its 200-day ma. 
    Since that moving avererage is flat, I would not think it will act as much support. 
    The NASDAQ is weaker.  It broke its rising 65-day ma support slightly today. 
    The NASDAQ will need to recover strongly tomorrow to convince bulls that Santa
    will save them from the Grinch S9.

    For now
, I would be mostly short, including DIA or SPY, and wait for the key ETFs'
    CLosing Powers to break their downtrends to cover in  deference to the seasonal Santa Claus rally,

    which sometimes is delayed as late as the 23rd.



                 DJI for 12/12/2011

   wpe4.jpg (2762 bytes)  

   The DJI did nearly the worse thing it can do intra-day.  It jumped in the
    first 30 monites and sold off considerably in the last two hours.   The
    result was that the key ETFs Closing Power all made minor new lows
    and set up Closing Power downtrends.  

    Most pundits blame this decline on Europe and American Bankers' concerns 
    that Italy and Greece might not be able to pay back on its bonds, especially with
    Italy's present cost of borrowing now above 6%.   Big US banks have sold
    large sums of Credit Default Swaps against this contingency.   Britain
    has made matters worse for the banks by refusing to accept the
    French-German demand that each EEC member accede to the Big EEC
    Bankers effective control of each country's monetary and aggregate fiscal
    policies.  The EEC bankers are essentially saying to each countries'
    voters, you can vote Conservative, Catholic or Socialist all you want,
    but we will fix your rate of interests and how much your government
    spends and taxes. 

    If there is a run on Euro, the consequences, though impossible to predict
    with any precision, might certainly include a freezing up of credit and trade. 
    These are deflationary consequences.   Gold and Silver declined sharply today,
    as a result.  Food commodities have been showing weakness for months.  
    Today showed that Bond holders love deflation and a weak stock market.

    There is a bullish aspect to all this, and that is your Dollars are worth a little
     bit more.  The Dollar broke out to the upside today,  And interest rates fell.
    Although the FED did not do more at its meeting today to pump more liquidity
     into the market, the strong Dollar gives it more leeway in the future to do that.

   12/12/2011  Sell S9 versus Santa Claus,  The S9 Is Running out of Time.

  The DJI seems to have established a
short-term trading range of 12249 at
the high end and 11950 as support.   It would not take much in the way
  of a strong Close above tomorrow's Opening to break the Closing Power
  downtrends the DIA and SPY show.  The QQQ CP is above its downtrend.
  We have to wait a little longer to see which way the DJI will break.   The
  S9 is bearish.  But December often delays an important reversal until
  January.  Historically, tomorrow is favored by the history of the DJI since 1965
  to be a Down Day, and that is by 53.3% to 46.7% . Wednesday is favored to be
  an Up Day, 57.8% to 42.2%.  But Thursday and Friday tend to falter slightly,
  51.1% to 48.9%.  After the 17th, as I mentioned last night, the DJI typically sees
  a strong rise, 2%, with a 89% probability of rising, if the period since 1965
  is taken as a reason for believing in a Santa Claus rally.

Examination of the 30 individual DJI stocks, shows only 8 on short-term automatic Tiger Buys.
Only 4 have positive IP21 scores. Only 12 of 30 have 65-day Closing Power Pcts above 50%.

There still appears too much resistance and distribution for a significant breakout.   
Volume is also running very low.  The DJI futures are up 57 right now.  Wait for now.

    Clinched SELL S9 but will December bring a breakout?

  
The DJI is now at  the lower red flat resistance shown in chart below
      The bullish seasonality starts late next week.  Time is running
      out for the bears, though the Futures for the DJI are now down 50.

      More and more, it looks like the DJI will succeed in getting past 12300 unless
      a steep sell-off occurs immediately.    If the DJI does not fall back much
      (below the lower band, 4% lower) in the next few trading days, a move up to
      12600 will become likely.  More than that is not expected.  The history of
      December-January breakouts in a bull market ( shown below) since 1966
      shows that a run to 12-month highs usually waits until the new year.  Whether it will
      be false or genuine then will depend on whether there is a new Buy signal and what the
      levels of the P-Indicator and Accumulation Index.   Negative readings then would be
      quite bearish.  Very positive readings would be quite bullish.

   12/9/2011  Sell S9 versus Santa Claus

   The quick recovery on Friday did not bring a 2-day reversal Buy B19 because the S9 prevents that for
   two weeks.  The DJI's rise did set up a very well-tested flat resistance level between 12000 and 12300.
   Peerless recognizes the importance of the DJI surpassing such a well-tested flat resistance.  A close above
   that level will be a breakout and could lead to a DJI advance back to   the 12600-12800 highs of the year.
   However, it will not be an automatic Buy B10 because the P-Indicator and Accumulation Index will not be   
   sufficiently positive even if Monday brings a close of, say, 12350 and a ratio of NYSE advancers
   to decliners of 5:1. 

   It is the fact that we are in December which works most strongly to hold up the DJI.  Historically,
   the week after December 11th (Sunday night) tends to be flat. For this period, the DJI rose 51.1%
   of the time and showed a 0.1% gain.  Much more bullish, the week of trading after December 17th
   rises 76.6% of the time and sees a 1.1% DJI gain.  Even better are the gains going out two weeks.
   Since 1965, the DJI has risen 89% of the time and averaged a 2% gain.   This Santa Claus rally
   is, on average, by far the most bullish two weeks of the year. 

   wpe4.jpg (40930 bytes)

   Why should this period be so bullish?  Is it tax-based, where the biggest profits are not
   taken until the next year to delay having to pay the resulting taxes for a whole year?   Is it instititonal
   window-dressing: so that big mutual funds load up with shares of stocks like IBM to fool investors
   into thinking they have been holding the stock all year long.  In fact, buying IBM now would unduly
   drive up the DJIA because that index is weighted solely by price.  There may be a simpler explanation.
   The whole thing may be a self-fulfilling proposition.  So many espouse and believe in the Santa Claus Rally
   that traders choose not to fight it and hold back their sell orders and buy in anticipation of it, or the
   regular year-end influx of funds into mutual and pension funds.  Some think it is because the holiday
   bring more optimism.  After December 21st, day light increase.   There's lot of studies that show
   lack of sunshine can bring depression and pessimism.  Decembers certainly bring a huge jump
   in consumer spending.  So much so that the Fed seldom raises interest rates at this time of year,
   for fear of jeopardizing the most important buying period of the year. It may also be because
   politicians go on vacation and reduce their negativity and vituperation.   Government officials
   probably try NOT to present new issues and problems at this time, knowing that their bosses are
   trying to get away early for the holidays.  The media seems to be distracted, too.  Scandalous
   stories about Wall Street and Government corruption probably decline for the same reason. 
   Editors make their slant at this time of year more positive.  That's, at least, the theory.  Perhaps,
   even the most cynical short sellers go on vacation at this time. Let's see how things play out this year.  

                                                      
What To Do

  For now, give the market a chance to pull back again from resistance. If the DJI closes above
  12310 with positive breadth, we will have to assume there will be a DJI move to 12600.  That should
   get us to close out the SPY short sale and any shorted MINCP stocks that break their CP downtrends.
   Our Stocks' Hotline is short 10 and long only 5.

                                 
Bull Market December-Jan Breakouts Past Resistance
    Clear December DJI breakouts in on-going bull markets are relatively.  There were
    only 4 since 1966.  In 2 of these 4 cases the DJI fell to the lower band.  The presence of a
    Sell S9 is a reliable predictor of a decline to the lower band, at least.  But the decisive breakout,
    whether valid or false, usually comes in January.

23 NATO fuel tankers set ablaze in Pakistan

   Did you hear about this?  Probably not.  The Obama Administration does not want to face up
   to the failure of its Afghanistan War.  It's December.  Next year's election makes the cover-up
   even more likely.  But how long will Obama be able to cover up the disintegration of his
   Afghanistan war?
Right now Obama is trying to sweep under the carpet the successful rocket attack
   Thursday by Pakistani militants/terrorists on 23 NATO key oil supply ships supplying the US
   war effort.
  Pakistan has refused to allow the passage of supplies across its borders of NATO forces
   in Afghanistan, as a result of the NATO airstrike that killed 24 Pakistani troops last month. 

    But at least, Obama is not choosing to escalate this incident into a causus belli. The stock market
    is always spooked by a run-up to war. Obama's lack of response may suggests that he DOES expect to
    wind down his war in Afghanistan. This will be tricky.

                                    
Will There Be A Repeat of 1973-1974?

   The stock market fell 45% in 1973-1974, partly because of the defeat of the US in Vietnam.
   History could repeat.   Afghanistan has cost 1732+ American soldiers' lives and
   $471+ billion, narrowly calculated.  Adding in Iraq makes the scale of the war in Vietnam comparable.
   The Obama Administration has made tragic mistakes that even a casual reading of Afghanistan
   history and the failed imperial invasions by the British and Soviets should have prevented. 
   Add to that, it's easy to see how much greater the benefits to America would have been if even half
   this money was spent domestically on education, health care, mass transit, infrastructure repair.
   Will Obama be challenged on this?  Obama must think Republicans will not.   Hubris alone could
   cause Obama to fail terribly, as Nixon did.  But we see now also an even   stronger military-industrial
   complex, unchecked corporate power and a thoroughly stalemated political system.  It's hard to be
   optimistic this December.  The Sell S9 will probably be profitable.

                             Today Brings New Hope for The Euro, but for How Long?

        The key ETFs' CLosing Powers are now all declining and the NYSE A/D Line uptrend was violated.
        The Openings Powers did break their steep uptrend but are still above their 21-day ma.
        This helps explain the +95 higher DJI opening today.
  European buying is occurring
        because of hopes of a new treaty to save the Euro.  The new treaty will require stricter
        fiscal rules.  Budgets will have to be balanced more.  This step was needed to make the
        European Central Bank and the International Fund sufficiently happy to commit more
        financial aid to Italy and Spain.  Four countries (including the UK and Sweden) have refused
        to give up this much powers to the biggest European central bankers.   This may still be
        enough to satisfy the IMF and the ECB.  It is enough to boost the market this morning.
        If this new round of austerity is adopted, it will take Europe another step closer to a Depression.
        Budget balancing when unemployment is high creates a cycle of under-consumption, private
        sector lay-offs,  reduced gov't. tax revenues and then another round of central banker-dictated
        gov't. lay-offs and a reduced social safety net.  In my opinion and some others, this is a perfect
        prescription for another  1930s style Depression in Europe.  The Germans' obsessive fear
        of inflation is dangerous.

Incredibly, the same mistakes are being made today involving some of the same countries as during the Great Depression. This time it is the continental west European countries tied together in the eurozone that have seen their currency, the euro, become strongly overvalued. The two countries that in the 1930s responded to the crisis by devaluing their currencies, the US and the UK, have today also allowed their currencies to depreciate significantly. Since the start of the financial crisis, pound sterling has depreciated against the euro by about 30%. After having strengthened vis-à-vis the euro prior to the banking crisis of October 2008, the dollar depreciated against the euro by close to 20%. Thus, as in the 1930s, the dividing line is the same. The US and the UK have allowed their currencies to depreciate; the continental European countries tied into the euro area have allowed their currency to become significantly overvalued. Even the numbers are of the same order of magnitude. During the1930s, the overvaluation of the gold bloc currencies amounted to 20-30%. Today, the euro is overvalued by similar percentages against the dollar and the pound.

So why are the euro area countries employing the same policies as the gold bloc countries did nearly eighty years ago? The answer is economic orthodoxy. In the 1930s it was the orthodoxy inspired by the last vestiges of the gold standard. Today the economic orthodoxy that inspires the ECB is very different, but no less constraining. It is the view that the foreign exchange market is better placed than the central bank to decide the appropriate level of the exchange rate. A central bank should be concerned with keeping inflation low and not with meddling in the foreign exchange market. As a result the ECB has not been willing to gear its monetary policy towards some exchange rate objective.

As in the 1930s, the euro area countries will pay a heavy price for this orthodoxy. The price will be a slower and more protracted recovery from the recession. This will also make it more difficult to deal with the internal disequilibria within the eurozone between the deficit and the surplus countries.

        The DIA could not get past 122; it will likely have to test its rising 65-dma support at 115.
        Note how the DIA marginally made a new CLosing high but the Closing Power lagged
        considerably and then broke it uptrend.   This is a reliable trading Sell.

        SPY's CLosing Power made a 2 month low far ahead of price.  This yields a CLosing Power
        Divergence Sell S7.  (Signals(3) + Closing Power Divergence Warnings).  SPY should be
        shorted.

        Watch tomorrow to see if QQQ breaks below the ususal support of its rising 65-dma.
        That the optimized best trading system has gained a whopping 81.% on the QQQ this
        year should give us more confidence of a breakdown.

                                    The Stock Market Does Not Like Uncertainty

                                       Unanswered Questions about the Fate of  the Euro:

                          Will the EURO survive?
Goldman says "No".  Morgan Stanley says 20% probability.
       Zero Hedge reports 50% chance by end of 2012.    What would be the consequences if it does
       collapse?
  Would loans dry up 50%?  Would we see another liquidity crisis, as in 2008?   How would
       that be resolved?  What central bank would guarantee banks or big loans soon again? 
       Would trade barriers suddenly go up?  Would   inter-nation European commerce dropsharply? 

        The Wall Street Journal downplays the dangers now.
       "A number of investors and bankers have indicated that companies are hoarding liquidity and refraining
        from making acquisitions to strengthen their internal financing, rather than turning to banks....
        In late November, Lufthansa said it would halt all non-essential investment for six months to combat rising
        financing costs, and on Wednesday Tognum’s CEO told the Financial Times Deutschland the company
        is increasing liquidity and hedging activity as a preventive measure, to avoid the consequences of a potential
       collapse of the euro zone."  Source

       How will America be affected? The Dollar would soar?  That would badly hurt American exports.
       Will America's biggest banks be hurt badly because they have sold massive amounts of credit default swaps
        on Italian, Greek, Spanish and Portuguese government bonds.

                        SELL S9 versus Santa Claus
                       A January Top Is Most Likely
                The Sell S9 Still Has Not Been Clinched.
        The QQQ has been acting much weaker than the DJI.

        The cases of December S9s are too few to be super-confident of the Sell S9 right now..
         Decembers tend (2 of 3) to bring support and make bigger declines wait until the next year.
         But 2007 showed we can't count on that.     Breaks in the A/D Line uptrend
         and Opening Power uptrend, as well as "clinching", have not yet occurred.
         I suspect another big 8% to 12% decline will not start in earnest until January.
         After the new year starts, be very careful.  With Democrats in the White House,
         the stock market most often shows first quarter weakness.  

        Though waiting for the clinching (more than 15 down than up on NYSE at the close on the
        day of the Sell S9 or on subsequent closes until there is a reversing Buy) achieves
        a higher price only 40% of the time compared to selling on the S9, it is still possible
        now for a price breakout above the flat 11250 resistance to occur.  That would send prices
        up smartly.  Similar breakouts occurred in June 1987 and February 2002 while S9s were
        waiting for clinching.  In 1987 prices went 5% higher.  In 2002 they rose 5% higher before
        clinching.

        Though the Opening Powers broke their steep uptrends Wednesday, the Closing
        Powers for the DIA and SPY rose slightly above their declining downtrends and appear
        to be at key pivot (or inflection) points where they could spring either way.  While we
        wait,
our Stocks' Hotline has taken twice as many short positions as long ones among
        the extreme and "bullish" CLosing Power MAXCP and MINCP stocks. 


       Historically, the DJI tends to turn strongly up near December 17th, by the end of next week.
       It might seem that the Sell S9 is running out of time.  But in 2007, the DJI peaked on December 10th
       and quickly formed a head/shooulders pattern in the rest of December and then sold off badly.

                                         SELL S9  versus Santa Claus
                       A January Top Is Most Likely

    
The cases of December S9s are too few to be super-confident of the Sell S9 right now..
         Decembers tend (2 of 3) to bring support and make bigger declines wait until the next year.
         But 2007 showed we can't count on that.     Breaks in the A/D Line uptrend
         and Opening Power uptrend, as well as "clinching", have not yet occurred.
         I suspect another big 8% to 12% decline will not start in earnest until January.
         After the new year starts, be very careful.  With Democrats in the White House,
         the stock market most often shows first quarter weakness.

         Clearly, the FED and Obama want to keep the market up going into the 2012
         Presidential Election Year.  New reports show that Obama has gotten more 2012
         money than all the Republlcans combined.   Is there collusion?  Are big Wall Street
         firms discouraging short-selling for political reasons? I have long thought so.  
         But if Obama veers into an anti-bank rhetorical phase in earnest, as he started to today,
         then Wall Street will quickly cool off towards him.  The best way for Wall Street to
         show their power will then be to drop the stock market as a warning.  There are
         many who think this was a big element in the stock market collapse in the first half
         of 1962 when JFK accused US Steel of Price Fixing.

                   "
Wall Street doesn’t have much to worry about in 2012: President Obama, Newt Gingrich,
                    and Mitt Romney all have (protected) the big banks’ backs.  Obama “may call them ‘fat cat’ bankers,
                    but he's been something of a kitten when dealing with financiers: There have been fewer prosecutions
                    during his term than in the previous 25 years, notes Joel Kotkin at Politico. Indeed, Obama has received
                    more Wall Street donations “than all the GOP candidates combined,” and he’s gotten more from Bain
                    Capital—which Romney co-founded—than anyone else."

          Right now,
Openings are up stronglly.  Europe debt woes have been the market's
          main problem  since this Summer.  Hopes for relief here are being encouraged now. 
          But are Europe's  debt problems just being "patched up" temporarily before a much
          bigger drop.  My view is that severe bank-driven governmental austerity is no way
          to bring a recovery or even allow Italy or Greece to balance their national budgets. 
          The 1930s should have taught us that.  Ending the reign of the Euro would be a better
          solution.   But the big banks and their political allies will never willingly allow the Euro
          to be abandoned.  That would mean Greece and Italy could pay back their debts
          in less valuable Lira and Drachma.   In a similar way, the big banks and their allies
          will never willingly accede to controls on the export of US capital or the setting up
          of tariffs and trade restrictions to restore American manufacturing.  WIthout these
          there can be little US recovery for years.

                                                                    WHAT TO DO

    
The Sell S9 still has not been "clinched".  This means we have still not seen the daily
         NYSE declines exceed the number of NYSE advances by, say, 15 more more.
         In Decembers,  which are generally the most bullish month of the year, many
         Peerless users may choose to wait for a Sell S9 clinching before selling short the DIA
         or QQQ.  Meanwhile, reducing the number of LONG bullish MAXCP stocks and increasing
         the number of SHORT bearish MINCP stocks can be done gradually while waiting for the
         clinching.  Our Stocks' Hotline is doing this.   We should with today's action have
         more short sales than long positions.

                     SELL S9s 1965-2011 and THEIR CLINCHING's TRACK RECORD

       We start in 1966 because published NYSE ADVANCES, DECLINES, UP-VOLUME
       and DOWN-VOLUME begins in 1965.  Earlier NYSE A/D data remain unverified from
       a second source and Up and Down Volume has had to be estimated.  Only 6 of these 76
       Sell S9s would have produced a loss,
assuming the DJI was sold short and covered only
       on the next automatic Peerless Buy signal
.   Note the Sell S9s here do not include S9s-Vs or the
       rare type of Sell S9 which occurs because the P-Indicator finally turns negative after being
       positive for more than 100 straight days.

             OPTIMIZED CLINCHING = 15 OR MORE NYSE DECLINES THAN ADVANCES

        Here is a sample history of Sell S9s: 1966-1985, unclinched and clinched.  There
        were 41 cases in this sample.  In 14 cases, a higher DJI would have been achieved
        by waiting for the clinching of the Sell S9.   in 20 cases, a lower DJI would have
        been sold by waiting.  In 7 cases, the day of the Sell S9 would have seen the clinching. 
 
        The best example where clinching would have helped is In 1987.  The 6/9/87 Sell
        Sell S9
UNclinched would have meant a 3.9% loss.  By requiring a day of 15 more
        NYSE decliners than advancers to clinch the signal, a new Buy B4 would have
        intruded. This losing Sell S9 signal would have been avoided.  Of course, this was
        when the DJI was moving more easily into all-time high territory.  But it also occurred
        on a price breakout.  The DJI is now trying to get past its flat resistance at 12200-12300.

NEW SELL S9 TODAY.   There have only been 3 December S9s since 1935.  Two waited
politely for the Santa Claus rally from December 17th to December 31st to play out before peaking the DJI
and dropping it to the lower band early in the following year.  One (in December 2007) immediately
began a bigger sell-off below the lower band.  It was not reversed until the DJI had fallen 12.6%.  It began
the 2007-2009 bear market.  In many of the earlier Sell S9 cases, we have advised waiting for the
signal to be "clinched" by having NYSE decliners over-take NYSE advancers at the end of the day,
or on a subsequent day following a Sell S9.

"Clinching an S9" this way  typically occurs in a day or two.  And gives a little chance to exit long positions
and take trading short positions.  The reasons for waiting a little here are:

First. because it's December before a Presidential Election with a Democrat who wants badly to get re-elected in the White House.  No Democratic President since Grover Cleveland (1896) has allowed the DJIA to go
down in the year before a Presidential Election.

Secondly, breadth was very good today.  Advances outpaced declines by 4.5 to 1.   Low interest
rates are clearly lidting dividend-paying stocks..  Usually, it is when interest rates are about to rise
that we get a bigger sell-off,  not when interest rates are this low.  Still, much of what is rising now
are defensive stock groups like bonds, utilities, military, biotechs, food and tobacco.   This occurs
often at market tops.

Thirdly, European buying before the openings has been a big boost for a week. That is why the Opening Powers
are rising so strongly. So, there may be more higher openings in this run.  A break in the Opening Power
uptrend should be welcomed by the bears.  News on the Euro seems go from crisis to crisis.  It's by
no means clear that the EURO can be saved or that the bankers will not be hurt by governmental
defaults there.  For the time being, the big US banks are uptrending.   List of Biggest Banks.  The rally
seems like one of a bear market variety.  There is steady red Distribution and the tend is clearly
still down, looking at the 65-day ma.

There is another  negative factor.  That is the extent to which computerized trading has produced the rally.
When you look at the SP-500 stock, you see how uniformly high all their tradin volumes seem to be.
Computers are now tending to rush the stock market up a lot one day and then drive it down the next.
This weakens the argument that breadth today was so good that we should wait.

All in all, we might want to wait for the Sell S9 to be clinched.  But the case for this is not so clear
or one-sided.  Accordingly, we will take five or six Bearish MINCP Stocks short positions tomorrow
and sell most of the long positions in the Bullish MAXCP Stocks we own.    The shadows from
the December 2007 experience are still too dark.  It may be that the decline will be only a short-term
one, perhaps just to the rising 21-day ma of the DJI.  But we have CLosing Power on our side.  And that
the CP downtrends now suggest Professionals have turned bearish, as does the relatively high number
of MINCP stocks and low number of MAXCP stocks. .

 Peerless Multiple Buy Signals versus 12000-12200 Resistance
December is Reliably Bullish, especially before a Presidential
Year.  But first, a pullback seems likely when the CLosing
Power uptrends are broken....
 

DIAEX1.BMP (1211814 bytes)

         Before the month is out I would expect a challenge of the 12800 high. I do not expect
         Obama to do anything to rock the financial establishment to cause him to be the first
         Democrat ever to bring a December marlet decline in the year before  the start of a
         Presidential Election year.  But first, there may have to be a retreat when the Closing
         Power uptrend (above) is violated....  The Big Banks and Military stocks have done well
         in this rally.  Home repairs and eating inexpensively have helped HD and MCD make
         new highs.  Seasonality is neutral for the next two weeks and is then very bullish.

                                           DJIA is at resistance and near the upper band.

          The P-Indicator has turned negative as the DJI approaches the upper band.  The
          NYSE A/D Line has slipped back from its falling 21-day ma.  The number of stocks
          that  Professionals are pushing to new highs has fallen considerably below the
         number they are forcing down.   Year-end tax loss selling  works against these stocks.
 

         In the chart above, you can see Peerless recently  gave a Buy B12.  More volume is
         probably needed to get the DJI past the 12000-12000 resistance.  But the selling is not
         aggressive.  Watch IBM.  As the highest priced DJI stock by far, it has much more
         power tp move the DJI.  Right now , at the old highs its Accumulation Index is negative
         (showing institutional distribution) and it shows much more Public than Professional
         Buying.

wpe8.jpg (89407 bytes)

         A B12 is at this stage in a 30 month advance  (as opposed to when it is ending a bear market)
         considered much less powerful.  In the present case, it is based on only two really good
         breadth days. which is something the ubiquitous computerized buying can easily
         produce in an era of Fed guaranteed low intrest rates.  What is less sure is that
         this buying will be sufficient to reverse the many downtrends in non-dovident,
         secondary stocks and get the DJI past all the resistance overhead.  Add to that,
         B12s have not been very powerful recently.  The Buy B12 does make it harder to get
         a Peerless sell signal for the next two weeks, after which point a bullish Santa
         Claus rally usually occurs.  We will tell you if a Sell Signal would be given here if the
         B12 is taken out of the picture.


         Foreign, Chinese and Financial stocks have been among the weakest groups until the recent
         rally.  I would still prefer to buy selected Biotechs because their trend has been up all year.

         The 18 stocks that make my BIO2 group which is charted below are ACOR, ALXN, AMGN, BIIB, CELG,
         CPHD, GILD,  ILMN, JAZZ, MYL, XVNT, TEVA, VRTX, CRUS/  I recently added  BMRN, ITMN
         and REGN because the Fidelity Biotech Fund (FBIOX) has been positions in them.  A new high in this
         group would certainly be bullish.

 Hooray!   

          I think we still have to believe the Peerless Buys, the bullish seasonality and the breaks in
          the steep Closing Power downtrend,   The DJI's downtrending resistance line is at 12200s.
          This is also where the 3.5% upper band is.  Today's volume rose sharply.  It will need to stay
          high to eat up the overhead supply of stock up to 12800 on the DJI.  But the good news is
          breadth was so good it brought a Buy B12.  In on-going bull markets, B12s average aboout
          8% gains in the DJI before being reversed.  Here that would mean a run to 13000.  Buy B12s
          do suppress some Peerless Sell signals at the upper band for two weeks.  So 13000 is a
          possibility.  Do not underestimate how many stops the Administration and the Fed will
          pull out to ramp the market up before the 2012 Presidential Election Season begins.

          Decembers in the Year were up 69% of the time since 1966.  How strongly up depends in
          part on whether it was the Year just before A Presidential Election Year.  As we political
          cynics might expect, Decembers in the year before a Presidential Election rose 20 times
          since 1915 and fell only 4 times, each while a Republican was President.  Obama would become
          the first Democratic President since before 1900 to allow the DJI to fall in December if he
          did not do all he can to keep the current rally rising.

 PEERLESS BUY B1 YESTERDAY. 
          I think we have to believe the Peerless Buys, the bullish seasonality and the breaks in
          the steep Closing Power downtrends.
With B1s there is a 40% chance of a new
          low about 3% lower than yesterday's close.  Hold current long positions.  I would "bank"
          on the Fed doing all it can to protect the big US banks from suffering another financial
          collapse.  They will do this behind the scenes as much as possible, to avoid becoming
          the center of political contention in a Presidential Election year.  They know that a rising stock market
          tends to silence critics.   Accordingly, I still think December may surprise the many bears.

          Hedging by shorting BAC, GS and JPM is suggested if the EURO makes a new closing low below 1.31.
          See the chart further below.   The DJI futures are only down 36 at this writing...

                           wpe6E7.jpg (22788 bytes)

          There is more and more evidence pointing to US big banks' writing enormous sums of
          credit default swaps on European debt.  To do this they borrowed hundreds of billions from the
          Federal Reserve at an interest rate just above 0%.  The Federal Reserve loaned them these vast
          sums with no restrictions, such as that the money had to be used to make loans in the US
          rather than back the EURO.   The Euro seems to me a losing proposition.  The poorer regions
          need fiscal and monetary independence, by my reckoning;  so that their currency's decline will boost
          tourism and their exports, thereby providing a self-correcting mechanism.  The banks who
          have loaned them a trillion Euros cannot stand this idea.  So, the taxpayers in northern Europe
          and the US are being positioned to again bail out the big banks.  My belief in the inevitability
          of the collapse of the current Euro is held by many others.  Predictably, the mainstream media
          in the US has close to no clue about the connection between the Euro's potential collapse and
          what it will mean for the US.

                    Roubini: The Euro Is Doomed.
          
           America is again in danger because of Wall Street banks.   
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)
           and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), are among the world’s   biggest traders of credit default derivatives. 
           They have disclosed to their shareholders that they have sold protection on more than $5 trillion of debt
           globally.  They will not say how much of that was issued by Greece, Italy, Ireland, Portugal and Spain..

           Source.  
Weakness in the Euro to the point of a new low below 1.32 will likely bring another drop
           by US banks.  At some point, they could again become insolvent. Even Congress may not dare to
           bail them out again.   The bailout will likely come from the Federal Reserve.  Nothing prevents this.
           And nothing now requires the Fed to be
transpar
ent.

   Recent Buy B5 but the DJI has broken below the lower band
     and the 65-day ma support on the day before and after Thanksgiving. 

     A lot of traders, including us, would prefer to just wait for the market
     to stop falling to buy.  A breaking of the Closing Power down-trendlines
     should give us a good entry point.  If you want to be more conservative.
     wait for now for the NYSE A/D Line to break its trend.   Many
     institutions will sit on the sideline now until the DJI gets back
     above either its 65-day ma or its 200-day ma. 
My back-testing
     suggests we can be more aggressive. 
Our Hotline has remained safely
     hedged with almost as many bearish MINCP short sales as long
     positions.  But we should now cover some of these to lock in nice
     profits...  Consider buying now stocks with big bulges of Accumulation,
     rising relative strength and Tiger major Buys (B10, B12, B20 and
     B24) will get us into stocks that have the highest chance for
     big gains when the market does turn up.  Study the case of VRUS,
     which has just been bought out.  Other biotechs may follow. 
     See the
Bullish MAXCP Stocks for some other ideas.   Here are the charts
     of Biotechs showing recent high Accumulation.  When their CLosing
     Power downtrends are broken, they should advance nicely.

                                                  History is Bullish
    
  I tried to show Thursday that late November and early very December very often
        bring very good rallies.  In fact, since the establishment of Thanksgiving on the
        fourth Thursday of November in 1939, the DJI has reversed in  41 of the 72 years
        in the last two week of November and the first week of December. In only 12 cases,
        did it keep on declining past December 7th.   the bad news is that so much weakness
        as we are now seeing, a DJI drop more than 5% below the 21-day ma, is associated
        with bear markets in the next year.

       
The breaking of the 65-day with a positive or nearly positive Accumulation Index,
        however, is also a bullish factor. 
I finished a study this weekend showing that In a
        rising market environment since 1929 at this time of year, having either a P-Indicator
        above -64 or the current Accumulation Index (IP21) above -.034 on the breaking
        of the 65-day ma is much more likely to set up a bottom than bring a further decline.

                 See http://tigersoft.com/PeerInst/65dma-penet-down-nov.htm      

        In our case, the IP21 was .001 on the day of the breakdown.  Here are the earlier cases
        where the IP21 was between -.034 and +.035 and the DJI was not in an on-going bear
        market.

                           PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYs. 

    NEW Buy B5 but the DJI has broken below the lower band
     and the 65-day ma support on the day before Thanksgiving. 
    
Before there can be a good rally, the market must stop opening
     much lower most mornings.  6 of the last 8 openings have seen the
     DIA open down.
  This is European and Asian selling mostly.  A world-
     wide recession and the floundering of the EURO are the apparent
     causes.  But there may be more negatives that have not hit the
     news.

                                 Something is seriously wrong!
        (See the mid-day comments for 11/23/2011 below to see some of the worries confounding the market.)

     Fortunately, our Accumulation Index is still positive, using
     estimated data.
     (Dial Data has not yet given us Tueday's official Up and Down volume.) 
    
The good news is that seasonally a market bottom is very often made
     in the last two weeks of November and the first week of December.  
     This took place in 41 of the 72 years cases since 1939.
 Most of the other
     years did not have any pullbacks at this time.  Declines which lasted
     longer were very rare.  On average, these longer lasting, deeper
     declines occurred only 1/7 of the time.  So, the odds favor a recovery
     by December 8th, and most likely much sooner.

                     The bad news is that the DJI is extraordinarily weak given the bullish
                     seasonality.   The market is warning that there is more bad news coming
                     this way.  A deeper world recession?  Bank failures and bailouts?  A new war...
                     with Iran?  Violent repression of 99% protestors? All the above?

                     
               The day before Thanksgiving has been down only 19 of 70 times
                     since the fourth week of November was made a holiday.  The
                     2.05% decline Wednesday was the biggest decline ever on the
                     day before Thanksgiving. 
In each of the cases where there was
                     a 1%-2% decline the day before Thanksgiving a very tradeable
                     bottom was being made to a significant peak in the second week
                     of January.
  This seems like a reasonable scenario now, but I would stay
                     short some of the bearish MINCP stocks now until the major market
                     ETF's Closing Power downtrend-lines are broken above.
An opening
                     down more than 100 will get us to add some additonal shorts to the
                     Tiger Stocks' Hotline.

The current Buy B5 does have an average paper loss of 2%, but it is

                            might be a fail-safe here if we see more weakness. 

                           
              Apparently, just too many worries for the market today...
                            "
Data showed Chinese manufacturing shrank the most in 32 months in November,
                             intensifying concerns about a global economic slowdown. U.S. crude oil fell 2.6 percent on
                             fears of reduced demand from China, the world's No. 2 economy.  U.S. data painted a mixed
                             picture and showed little reason for optimism. New unemployment benefit claims rose last week
                             and consumer spending barely increased in October." Source

                          
wpe3.jpg (11663 bytes)    Today's breaking of the 65-dma on a day when there is ordinarily an
                           up-day is of high concern. The speed downward of the 10-day decline
                           is also a danger-sign here. The Closing Power's  continued falling and the
                           NASDAQ H/S minimum downside objective being still  lower are bearish. 
                           It is never good when both the Opening and CLosing Power are falling, as now...

                           Not to mention bad policy choices made by European bankers and
                           their political appointees on behalf of the hundreds of million people
                           in the name of the Common Market.  Europe's austerity-in-a-recession policies
                           are exactly those pursued in 1930-1931 in the US and Europe.

                           Or the absurdity of demanding that all European countries have the same

    NEW BUY B5 but The Futures are down 100 at this writing.

         I would cover half of the short sales taken recently and buy some of the MAXCP
         stocks for a seasonal recovery from the rising 65-day ma tomorrow.  If you prefer to wait
         for a close above the opening to turn the Tiger Closing Power UP on a test of the 65-day
         ma,  that's fine.  But remember that the market usually rallies the day before Thanksgiving. 
         Since 1966, the DJI has rallied 60% of the time over the two weeks following November 23rd.


         Consider buying some of the very highest current Accumulation (IP21)
         stocks with CLosing Powers making new highs.  Use the CP uptrendline
         as your guide when to sell.

        But the QQQ and NASDAQ broke below their Head/Shoulders
            Pattern's neckline.  The NASDAQ has further to decline to
        fulfull its minimum downside objective.

       
The DJI   has now tagged the lower 3.5% band.  There was no Buy B9 today because
            the V-Indicator is quite negative (-104).  
Buy B9s typically occur at the the lower band with
            the P-Indicator and Accumulation Index nearly or actually positive. 
            (
See the History of Buy B9s table at the bottom of today's hotline.)  I believe it was in 2002
            when we decided to add the additonal requirement that the V-Indicator not be be
            below -70....   If this requirement had not been added, Peerless users might have
            been trapped in long positions in the two months leading up to the sell-off from
            the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks.  The V-Indicator stands now at -104.  There are two
            cases from October 2004 where a Buy B9 was allowed with this low a reading,
            based on the frequency with which rallies occur from an October low in a Presidential
            Election year.  In this case, it took a week of basing at the lower band before the
            DJI could reverse and rise.
           
           In the present case, without a Peerless Sell signal and without a head/shoulders top
            in the DJI, the history of the 7 NASDAQ completed head/shoulders patterns
            back to 1988 tells us to expect the lower 3.5% band to hold for the DJI.  That was true
            in all the older cases.  The DJI is there now.

            So, there may still be a good recovery starting tomorrow, if turnaround-Tuesday
            and Thanksgiving week live up to their reputations. If this is to be so, we should
            this week see the NYSE A/D and Closing Powers break their down-trends-lines. 
            Notice that the DJI is back to a rising 65-day ma and the QQQ's CLosing
            Power has fallen back to a 2 month uptrendline.  Unfortunately, the NASDAQ has
            not fallen down as much as its head/shoulders pattern sets up as a minimum
            downside objective.  See its chart further below.  The NASDAQ will likely stay weak
            a little longer, even as the DJI recovers...

                                           History of 50 Buy B9s 1928-2011
                 Note that the V-Indicator can only be estimated before 1966.

            Most of the B9s occur 2% to 4.5% below the 21-day ma (CL/MA>.955 and <.98)
            These exceptions are a special case. There are a two cases in 2004 where
            a Buy B9 occurred in the 4th Quarter with a V-Indicator reading below -100.

            45 of the 50 Buy B9s ended up producing a gain.  9 of the 50 had paper losses

        But the QQQ and NASDAQ broke below their Head/Shoulders
            Pattern's neckline. 
The DJI is expected to find support at the
            lower 3.5% band at 11531, 265 points below today's close. 
            More stocks look like good short sales than good purchases
            in my weekend's review. There are twice as many bearish MINCP
            stocks as bullish MAXCP stocks, showing professionals are
            more bearish than bullish.  The Closing Power up-trend
            breaks have been replaced with CP downtrends.  More weakness
            until closer to Thanksgiving is expected.  We are short more stocks
            than long now on our Stocks' Hotline.


           
The DJI has not formed a head/shoulders pattern or given a Sell, but the NASDAQ
             has completed a bearish head/shoulders pattern.  Since 1989, there have been
             8 earlier cases like this.  The NASDAQ fell from 2% to 10% further in the aftermath,
             in 7 cases.   In one instance, the H/S breakdown proved false for.  The DJI was
             another story.   In half the cases, shorting the DJI would have produced a loss.
             The gains from short sales would have been modest, 2% to 5%.  In the other cases,
             short sales would have produced losses, most of them substantial.  See the details
             in Thursday's hotline.  

                                     
DJI 11600 appear to be next support, going down.

DATA.BMP (1000854 bytes)

             The DJI tends to find support 2.5% to 3.5% below the lower band.    It is now 1.3%
              below the
21-day ma (corrected) and shows a very positive current Accumulation
              Index (+.09).  I would think any weakness early next week will give us a new
              Peerless Buy and a good chance for a rally later next week, as is the custom
              around Thanksgiving.

        But the QQQ and NASDAQ broke below their Head/Shoulders
            Pattern's neckline.  This strongly suggests a testing of the DJI's
        lower band.  In addition, we saw today the breaks in the NYSE
        A/D Line uptrend and its congruent, well-tested NYSE price
        uptrend.   Appreciate the bearishness in such a pattern, even
        without a Peerless Sell signal.   See the discussion of this below
        in the last few hotlines.

        We can see the track record of bearish head and shoulders
        patterns in the NASDAQ should be respected.  Here are the
        cases since May 1988.    


           
Except once in 2010, when a head and shoulders was completed in the NASDAQ and Peerless
            was still on a BUY signal, the DJI never fell below the lower band.  The downside gains
            gotten by selling on the neckline penetration were much greater for the NASDAQ than the DJI. 

            The declines also lasted longer for the NASDAQ.  It took a while to repair the technical damage
            on its charts,   There were 8 cases from 1988 to 2010 where the NASDAQ:completed its
            head/shoulders, the DJI did not and there were no Peerless automatic Sells.

                                                              Lack of Confidence          

            
The market may have to regroup at the lower band which is also where is rising
              65-day ma is.  Right now it is at its rising 21-day ma and that is normally good support
              so long as its annualized rate of change is above +.07.  It is now +.328.  The current
              AI (IP21) is still above +.07. too.  But Novembers more than other months bring
              many declines to the lower band without Peerless Sells.  In addition, declines to the lower
              band are much more apt to occur whena head/shouders top is present. 
So we remain
              comfortably hedged with bearish MINCP short sales that are equal in number to our long
              positions from among the bullish MAXCP stocks on our Stocks' Hotline.

Closing Power (CP) Status Report: KEY ETF CHARTS:

   The DIA's CP is barely above its CP uptrend.  Bullishly both its Opening and CLosing
   are rising and above their 21-day ma.  The QQQ and SPY CP are in tight, flat patterns.
  It will not take much weakness after the Opening to break the DIA's rising CP support lines.  
   This would be short-term bearish.  


   DIA restored its CP UPtrendline -  Any close of only 013 BELOW the Opening
   will violate the new CP-uptrend. The CP is still above its rising 21-dma. 
   Opening Power shows an uptrend has been restored.


   SPY broke DOWNtrendline and shows a new UPTREDNDLINE-  Any close of more than 0.35  BELOW the Opening
   will violate the new CP-UP-trend.  The CP is now above its 21-dma.    The Opening Power uptrend has been
   restored within a narrowing flat CP triangle..

  
QQQ  still shows a CP Uptrendline   Any close of more than  0.48 BELOW  the Opening
   will  violate the new and tentative CP-uptrend.  The CP is above its rising 21-dma. 
   The Opening Power uptrend is still extant.
 

  GLD broke its CP Uptrendline - It will take a close 1.35 ABOVE the Opening
   to restore the CP Uptrendline.  CP here is above its MA.
  
The Opening Power is back above its rising ma

        PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYs.  The QQQ's Head/Shoulders
            Pattern has lost some symmetry.  But a QQQ close below
        below its neckline at 56 would complete a complex head/shoulders
        pattern.  Appreciate the bearishness in such a pattern, even
        without a Peerless Sell signal.  
There have been 14 sell-offs to the lower band
            since 1934 even though there was no Peerless Sell.  None of these declines went below the
            lower band.  38% of the time since 1934, the DJI fell from the upper band at this
            time of the year, down to at least half way to the lower band from the 21-day ma. 
           A Peerless Sell occurred in only 32% of these cases.


            We have to be encouraged by the big jump in the number of MAXCP stocks, nearly
            doubling from the previous day's 101 to 191.  The
ETF's Closing Powers are uptrending
            in unison again, but only tentatively.   The DJI still needs to break above its downtrending
            resistance line.  And news that there protestors will try to shut down Wall Street on
            Thursday has to create some nervousness. 
Our stocks' hotline is hedged, about 50%-50%,
            short bearish MINCP stocks and long bullish MAXCP stocks, using the Tiger Power
            Ranker.


            We emphasize: Peerless Buys and Sells do not call every move to the opposite band. 
            This is especially   true in Novembers. There have been 21 November-early December
            Sell-offs to LB in the 77 years from 1934 to 2010.  That suggests a 27% probability in
            any given year.  Only 7 of these had Peerless Sells.  67% did not.  At least, there were
            no DJI declines below the lower band without a November Sell.  This tells me we must
            watch out for signs of such a decline, like completed head/shoulders tops, breadth
            divergences from price and a weakening Accumulation Index that drops below its
            21-day ma or goes negative.  So far, such warnings are not present.

Closing Power (CP) Status Report: KEY ETF CHARTS:

   The SPY is in a new CP downtrend.   The DIA's CP is barely above its CP uptrend.  The
   QQQ's CP could be forming its own head and shoulders pattern.  It will not take much
   weakness after the Opening to break the DIA's and QQQ's CP support lines.   This would
   be short-term bearish.  


   DIA restored its CP UPtrendline -  Any close of only 0.24 BELOW the Opening
   will violate the new CP-uptrend. The CP is still above its rising 21-dma. 
   Opening Power uptrend has been restored.


   SPY is in new DOWNtrendline-  Any close of more than 0.21  ABOVE the Opening
   will violate the new CP-Down-trend.  The CP is now below its 21-dma.  
   The Opening Power uptrend has been restored.

   QQQ  still shows a CP Uptrendline   Any close of more than  
0.40 BELOW  the Opening
   will  violate the new and tentative CP-uptrend.  The CP is only at its rising 21-dma. 
   This makes the new uptrend more suspect.  The Opening Power uptrend is still extant.
    Be aware a head/shoulders pattern could be forming. 
 

  GLD broke its CP Uptrendline - It will take a close 0.71 ABOVE the Opening
   to restore the CP Uptrendline.  The Opening Power is back above its rising ma

DATA.BMP (1009174 bytes)

    PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYs, but the Head/Shoulders
   Patterns are clearly bearish.  They have not been completed.
   But we have to be cautious now.
    Today the DJI turned back from the
    now well-tested resistance line shown in the DJI chart above.   Support "should" still be present
    at its rising 21-day ma at 11800.  Its rising 21-day ma should act as support as long as it is
    rising steeply and the DJI's  current Accumulation Index is very positive.  Usually when
    the DJI's annualized 21-dma is rising at a rate of higher than .07 and the current Accumulation
    Index is higher than +.07.  This is NOT true when there has been a Peerless Sell signal. 

    I
t is also NOT true when there has been a completed head/shoulders pattern in a key index.
    We see such H/S patterns developing now in the NASDAQ and QQQ.  A break in the NYSE A/D Line uptrend
    as we come down from the apex of a right shoulder is defintely bearish.   One more very weak
    day will break the A/D Line Uptrend. 
So, I would pick a few of the many Bearish MINCP Stocks to
    sell short to hedge.  Our Stocks' Hotline will hedge more tonight, increasing the number
    of short sales to 50% of all the positions.
The Closing Power uptrends for the SPY and IWM,
    have
been broken.  It would not take much weakness after the Opening to break the DIA and QQQ
    CP uptrends.
I take it as bearish that NYSE Down volume was 6x NYSE Up Voume and that the
    number of new lows on the NASDAQ were more than twice the number of new highs

                     Watch The NASDAQ and QQQ for A Completed Head/Shoulders

    Completed head and shoulders patterns are very bearish, even when Peerless does not give
    a major Sell.   See the current QQQ chart below.

QQQ11.BMP (1082454 bytes)

                                                  May 2010 Should Be Studied.

     See the sell-off in May 2010 below.  The QQQ showed an obvious head/shoulders pattern. 
    The annualized 21-day ma (ROC =Rate of Change) was rising at a .426 rate.  The current AI (IP21)
    was a normally healthy .268.  At that time, there were also obvious head/shoulders patterns

                                                                     2009-2010 QQQ

QQQ.BMP (1082454 bytes)
   
   in the SPY and DIA.  The DJI's annualized 21-day ma ROC was actually -.05 and and the IP21 was
   only .056 right before the May 2010 14% decline.  All this suggests, we must respect completed head/shoulders
   patterns, even if they have to be judged.  There are many cases where they reflect troubling news that
   the stock market is about to or must suddenly adjust to.  There are many DJI examples:

              1) August-September 1941 - 3 months before Pearl Harbor.  DJI fell 18% by end of 1941.
              2) May-Jume 1950 - just as N Korea attacked South Korea.  DJI fell 14% by mid July.
              3) July 1961-April 1962 - Cuban Missile Crisis led to 25% decline from March to July bottom.
              4) March-June 1971 - Nixon's New Econ. Policy. US goes off gold backed currency.    17% decline.
              5) May-July 1990 - Iraq attacks Kuwait - 22% decline from July 1990 to October 1990.
              6) April-June 2001 - 9/11 followed 3 months later. 27% decline from May to September 2001.
              7) May-June 2008 (SPY) - Financial Collapse followed. 46% decline from May to November 2008.

    See the charts and discussion here:

                    "If We Make It Through November" (A take-off on the Merle Haggard song
                    written at the bottom of the 1973-1974 bear marker).

    If the head/shoulders patterns can be aborted by moves above their right shoulders' apexes or just
    play themselves out without a big decline, December should bring an advance.  In the years before a
    Presidential Election, the DJI rose 17 times since 1931 and only fell 3 times.

Closing Power (CP) Status Report: KEY ETF CHARTS:

   The SPY and DIA among the 3 major market ETF Closing Powers  restored their CP Up-trendlines
   with their CPs rising back above their 21-day ma.   Bounces up from the CP 21-day ma can save a
   situation.   The QQQ's CP also turned up.  But it did not get up past its 21-day.  Therefore, it
   is more suspect. 
The DIA's and QQQ's is short-term bullish, but must be watched.  A CP uptrend
   violation coupled with a penetration of the CP 21-day ma would be bearish.

   DIA restored its CP UPtrendline -  Any close of more than 0.70 BELOW the Opening
   will violate the new CP-uptrend. The CP is still above its rising 21-dma. 
   Opening Power uptrend has been restored.


   SPY restored its CP uptrendline-  Any close of more than 0.80 BELOW the Opening
   will violate the new CP-uptrend.  The CP is still above its rising 21-dma.  
   The Opening Power uptrend has been restored.

   QQQ  has a new CP Uptrendline   Any close of more than  
0.24 BELOW  the Opening
   will  violate the new and tentative CP-uptrend.  The CP is only at its rising 21-dma. 
   This makes the new uptrend more suspect.  The Opening Power uptrend has been restored.
 

  GLD restored its CP Uptrendline - Any close 0.50 BELOW the Opening
   will violate the CP Uptrendline.  The Opening Power is back above its rising ma

    PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYs.    The DJI faces the resistance shown
    in the downtrending lines below.   Support should still be present at its rising 21-day ma at
   11800.  Its rising 21-day ma should act as support as long as it is rising steeply and the DJI's
   current Accumulation Index is very positive. 

DATA.BMP (1029654 bytes)       

                When the DJI is about 3% over the 21-day ma with the Accumulation Index a healthy +.154
    and the P-Indicator (21-day ma of Advances - Declines) is very positive, we usually see higher
    prices.  This is also true in mid-November in years before the Presidential Election.  See the study I put
    together:  http://tigersoft.com/Tiger-Blogs/11-11-11/index.htm   See the bullish case of 11/13/2003. Declines
    to the lower band at this time of year are more likely to occur when these two indicators are much
    weaker: 11/11/1931, 11/13/1935, 11/17/1975, 11/16/1987.  As I write this, I see the Futures show
    the DJI up +50.  Don't forget to cover hedging short sales when their Closing Powers break their
    downtrend or the stock closes above the 65-day ma.

                 Focus next on the weekly DJI.  In the chart below you can see how much better the NYSE
    A/D Line is now than it was in May-June 2009.  You can also see that the DJI has gotten
    back above its rising 52 wk ma.  In 2008, it could not and the 52-wk ma was falling.  Another
    difference - the Accumulation Index now is rising and above its 21-wk ma.  Back in May 2008,
    it was negative and below its falling 21-wk ma.

     Since the August bottom, Professional ETF trading has concentrated on the narrower DIA and
     QQQ.  The broader SPY (SP-500) and general IWM were hit with more selling in the July-August
     sell-off and are  lagging in the upswing, though they are participating.

     DIA and QQQ are above their rising 52-week ma.  They show a very positive Accumulation Index,
     unlike in 2008 when they both tagged and fell back from their then falling 52 week ma while showing
     negative Accumulation Index readings.   SPY is now only at its flat 52-week ma and shows a positive
     Accumulation Index, unlike in 2008 when it tagged and fell back from its then falling 52 week ma         
     while showing a negative Accumulation Index.   IWM (Russell-200) is still below its 52-week ma. 
     For more on the comparison and contrast with 2008, see Is the market a "redux" of 2009?

Closing Power (CP) Status Report: KEY ETF CHARTS:

   The 3 major market ETF Closing Powers  broke their CP Up-trendlines Wednesday.
  
This is short-term bearish, though their CPs may yet recover from their 21-dma.

   DIA broke its CP UPtrendline -  Any close of more than 1.45 ABOVE the Opening
   will restore the CP-uptrend. The CP is still above its rising 21-dma. 
   Opening Power uptrend has been restored.


   SPY CP Uptrendline broken -Any close of more than 2.32 ABOVE the Opening
   will restore the CP uptrend, which is testing its 21-dma.   The Opening Power uptrend has been restored.

  QQQ broke its CP Uptrendline -  Any close of more than  1
.58 ABOVE the Opening
   will restore the CP Uptrend.   The Opening Power broke its uptrend.
 

  GLD's CP 3 days ago broke its steep Uptrend - Any close 1.24 ABOVE the Opening
will break the downtrendline.  The Opening Power is nack above its rising ma


         PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYs.  The futures appear to be rising.
         So is the NYSE A/D Line and the DIA and SPY CLosing Powers turned up from their rising 21-day
         moving averages.  Since 1965, the DJI has risen 67% of the timne over the next two weeks
         and 71% of the time over the next month.   The A/D Line is much stronger now, nearer its 12 month
         highs, than before most tops.  The DJI does not show a head/shoulders pattern.  However,
         it needs to get past the resistance-line not far above 12000 that keep stop rallies this year.
         If it were to turn down and the rising NYSE A/D Line uptrend were broken the DJI would look
         like the end of 1947.  In that year and again in the following year, also a Presidential Election
         Year, the DJI ricocheted up and down off the top and bottom of a broad trading range, bounded by
         165 and 190.  I must add, that good breadth, by itself, is not enough  We also have to watch the
         Accumulation Index.  A close by the DJI as low as 2.4% over the 21-day ma with the
         Accumulation Index negative did bring an 11% decline in early 1948.

         We still must watch the QQQ's head and shoulders pattern.  It neckline is at 46.  Penetration
         of this level will be bearish.  The QQQ's Closing Power did not turn up today. The QQQ's
         relative strength continues to fall versus the DJI.  Tech stocks are being sold as a precaution.
         That is weakening the P-Indicator and Accum.Index, but not enough yet to produce a major Sell.

Closing Power (CP) Status Report: KEY ETF CHARTS:

   The 3 major market ETF Closing Powers  broke their CP Up-trendlines.
  
This is short-term bullish, though they CPs may yuet recover from their 21-dma.

         PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYs.

        
The ETFs' Opening Power penetrated their 21-day ma.  The Closing Powers
          have not.  The DJI has pulled back to  its rising 21-day with a still quite positive set
          of internal strength readings.   Usually. without a Peerless Sell, such a rising 21-day
          ma acts as reliable support.    A turn upwards by CLosing Power will be short-term
          bullish because such reversals at support are a positive development.  

          Seasonality is still bullish.   Since 1965, the DJI has risen 64% of the time over the
          week after November 9th.

          We try to remember to check the individual DJI-30 stocks for ones that look bearish.
          At this point not many show much vulnerability. The bearish exceptions are:

         
1) BAC's weakness has little impact on the averages because it it is so low priced
          in an average that weights components solely by price. 
          2) DIS shows a potential Head/Shoulders pattern but the Accum. Index readings
          are still too high to confirm this pattern's bearishness.
          3) GE does show a H/S Pattern with negative IP21 readings on the right shoulder.
          Its neckline is also where support from its 65-dma support is.  Watch it.


          QQQ's H/S neckline support is now at 56.  The H/S pattern there can be redrawn to
          be extant.  A QQQ violation of 56 would be disturbing for tech stocks.  The TigerSoft
          Index of the 100 QQQ stocks shows 75 are still above the support of their 65-dma.
          That is bullish.

MASTQQQ.BMP (1020054 bytes)

          Since 2007, the OPMA penetrations have worked out well as short-term
          sells about 58% of the time. Closing Power MA penetrations are more reliable, giving
          good trading sells about 67% of the time.   See study.

The DJI's round number 12000 resistance which was overcome these last
           two days will be tested as support.  The Closing Powers are rising but a sharply
          down Opening will break the rising Opening Uptrends. 

.         There should be support on this weakness.  The A/D Line is rising.  The NASDAQ's
          rally today should have aborted its potential head and shoulders.  Watch the
          NASDAQ's neckline at 2600.   This is important support.

          Many of the leveraged short ETFs show CP new lows with heavy red distribution. 
          Normally, we would see divergences before a bottom, but these instruments are
          oversold.  Watch their CP downtrendlines.  Breaks in them will be bullish these
          leveraged short instruments.   They are due a bounce.   Below is the exploded chart
          of SQQQ, the leveraged short of QQQ.  You can see a jump at the opening will break
          the falling Opening Power.

   The 3 major market ETF Closing Powers  show CP Up-trendlines.

   The QQQ's relative strength versus the DJI is falling.

   to break the Uptrend of CP. 
The Opening Power is above its rising ma

      PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYsThe round number 12000 resistance has not
        yet been decisively overcome, but the Closing Powers are rising again.  We should
        watch QQQ and the NASDAQ, which are falling a little behind.  These need to make
        new clear new highs to destroy their potential head/shoulders patterns.  The QQQ
        needs to close above 58.45.  Though its Opening Power is rising, it is the Professionals
        and the QQQ's strong closes here that lie behind the gain over the last 65-days.   See
        the text just below the Tiger chart for this data on any stock shown.  Nonetheless, the
        QQQ's bearish pattern remains a technical problem.  The NASDAQ's right shoulder's
        apex is exactly at 2700.  A move above that will be quite bullish for the secondary and
        technology stocks.  Watch the NASDAQ closely tomorrow.

        If the NASDAQ and the QQQ do not make new recovery highs, the next DJI new high
        may not be confirmed.  The resulting divergence could bring then bring a November decline.
        For now, I would not turn bearish, apart from doing some precautionary hedging.

        Bullishly still, the the leveraged short ETFS (shown at the bottom of the day's Bearish MINCP
        Stocks
) show continued great weakness, which is being confirmed by very negative
        Accumulation Index readings and falling Closing Power trends.

        Gold's rise still looks it will continue.   Notice that I have each day been posting buy
        and sell signals using CLosing Power trend-changes for
GLD, as well as NEM and
        two silver stocks.

   The 3 major market ETF Closing Powers  show shallow CP Downtrendlines.

The Opening Power is above its rising ma

      PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYs

      A November peak is still expected.  Usually we see non-confirmation Sells or a head
      and shoulder develop before a top is made that brings a decline of 6% or more in the
      DJI.  These things are not present, yet.  But hedging by being long the most bullish
      MAXCP stocks and some of the most bearish MINCP stocks is available to us, too,
      as a profitable strategy.  As the year ends, institutional window-dressing tends to
      exaggerate the moves up and down already in place.  As long as both the Opening
      and Closing Power are rising, I think we have to give more chance for a rally above
      12400. 
An Opening down more than 100 DJI points will probably break the rising
       Opening Power trendline.  See DIA chart below.   That would be disconcerting and
       probably bring about another test of the DJI's rising 21-dma 283 points lower than
       Friday's close. Such a weak opening will cause us to wait for any new buying on
       our Stocks' Hotline, where we are hedged.        


       Even so, it remains bullish that:
       1)  the DJI reversed so quickly from its steeply rising 21-dma;
       2)  the NYSE  A/D Line is in an uptrend;
       3) the number of Closing Power new highs is  7x the number of CP new lows in
       the last two days; 
       4) there were so many different Buy signals recently at the bottom of this move; and
       5) the DJI is up 57.8% of the time over the next week since 1965.
       6) Both Opening and Closing Power are rising for DIA (Buy B21 condition)
DIA211.BMP (1020054 bytes)
      I like the fact that the DJI moved up beyond the top of its price channel on its move above
      12100 a week ago.  A lot of time, the failure to reach the top of a price channel or the upper
      band becomes a setup for a bigger sell-off. 

      We will have to see the QQQ (below) surpass its recent right shoulder apex at 58.25
      to destroy its bearish head/shoulders pattern.  The broader NASDAQ and the DJI, SPY
      and IWM all seem to have done this already.

      PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYsWe are seeing a strong rebound off the rising
        21-day ma.   The Closing Power downtrends of the SPY, QQQ and IWM were violated.
        Look for a new recovery high.  The swift turnaround is easy to explain.  Greece's PM
        has had to bow to the pressure from the EEC and the big banks; he has reversed on his
        promise of a popular referendum before Greece could accede to the bankers' insistence on
        stringemt austerity and privatizing measures to his country.

        SPY or QQQ might have been bought as their CPs broke their short-term, shallow
        downtrends, which turned up at their 21-day ma.   Look further below for stocks
        to consider buying which Professionals appear to buying while the Public Sells.

  -------------------   Closing Power (CP) Status Report: CHARTS:---------------------  

   The 3 major market ETF Closing Powers  show shallow CP Downtrendlines.
   The ETFs'  Opening Powers are mixed.
   This is short-term bearish.

   DIA is now below a CP DOWNtrendline - It will only take a close of more than +1.23 ABOVE  the Opening
   to break the CP downtrend.   The Opening Power today broke its uptrend. 


   SPY is now below a CP DOWNrendline - It will only take a close of more than +.01 ABOVE the Opening
   to break the CP downtrend.   The Opening Power is still rising. 

   QQQ is now below a CP DOWNtrendline -  It would only take a close of more than   +.03 ABOVE the Opening
     to break the CP downtrend.   The Opening Power is still rising.  


   GLD CP resumed Uptrend - It will take a close of more than 6.19 BELOW the Opening
   to resume the Downtrend of CP. 
The Opening Power is above its rising ma

 

      PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYs but the major market CPs remain in
        Downtrends (DIA, QQQ, SPY).  Note the lower volume on today's rally
        and the potential Head and Shoulders pattern in the DIA and IWM - the Russell-2000
        chart.

        The futures began sharply lower this morning but are recovering and now positive.  The
        news appeared to be bearish, but now the Greek Finance Minister is trying to
        protect his clients, big banks, and is leading a Cabinet rebellion against the Greek
        PM who is seeking a referendum on the austere and privatizing terms of the bailout
        of Greece.  The Finance Minister wants the Papandreou government to fail, thereby
        squashing plans for a referendum.

That little Greece can cause so much financial turmoil shows clearly how just
        dangerously over-leveraged and vulnerable the big banks are at this time. 
        Is international banking a house of cards?   Surely, some hedging is called for.

         A closer test of the rising 21-day ma seems likely.  The DJI-30's is 226 points below
         today's close.  That MA is rising about 60 points a day.  So, look for support about
         166 points below today's close. See the study I did yesterday of the 4:3 tendency
         for the DJI's steeply rising 21-day ma to produce a 3% rally before there is a 3% decline.

         I have suggested hedging using the bearish MINCP stocks posted here while waiting for
         the DJI to work off its extremely overbought condition of last week. 
But, Buy DIA if its
         CP breaks its downtrend.  See DIA chart below.  
A close more than 1.24 above the DIA's
         opening will break the CP downtrend tomorrow.  Buying DIA when the CP and the
         operative Peerless signal are in agreement about trend is usually recommended.

  -------------------   Closing Power (CP) Status Report: CHARTS:---------------------  

   The 3 major market ETF Closing Powers  show shallow CP Downtrendlines.
   The ETFs'  Opening Powers are mixed.

   This is short-term bearish, but the DJI is just above its rising 21-dma which should act as support.

   DIA is now below a CP DOWNtrendline - It will only take a close of more than +1.6 ABOVE  the Opening
   to break the CP downtrend.   The Opening Power today broke its uptrend. 


   SPY is now below a CP DOWNrendline - It will only take a close of more than +.46 ABOVE the Opening
   to break the CP downtrend.   The Opening Power is still rising. 

   QQQ is now below a CP DOWNtrendline -  It would only take a close of more than   +.05 ABOVE the Opening
     to break the CP downtrend.   The Opening Power is still rising.  


   GLD CP resumed Uptrend - It will take a close of more than 0.61 BELOW the Opening
   to break the CP UPtrend. 
The Opening Power broke its uptrend today an is below its rising ma

 

      PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYs but we now see CP Downtrends in DIA, QQQ, SPY...
        I have suggested hedging while the DJI works off its extremely overbought condition of last week.

    
  I noticed that the number of MAXCP stocks rose today increased.  This should not be seen if Professionals
       expect a deeper decline.  The odds do favor a rebound on another intra-day tagging of the 21-day ma
       of the DJI at 11564, about 90 points lower.  I would expect the CP downtrend-lines to be broken
       there and that will advise us of a bounce.   The bearish MINCP stocks should not be covered in that event.
       Aggressive traders may want to buy any of the major market ETFs that break their CP downtrends.

       Now the DJI has fallen back to within 1% of its steeply rising 21-day ma with the current Accumm Index
       very positive.  An attempt at a rally should be expected because
                       1) the DJI has tagged its 21-day ma,
                       2) this MA is rising at am annualized rate of more than 100% per year
.
                       3) the IP21 is a very positive +.21 and
                       4) the OPct is above +.25
    
       In addition, the P-Indicator stands at +511.   Usually the 21-day ma cannot be violated on the first or
       even second decline when it is rising this fast and the key Peerless internal strength indicators are this
       positive.
      
                                       Internal Strength Readings and Support at The 21-DMA

        Below are the 36 cases where the DJI closed within  .8% of the 21-day ma  while 21-day ma was rising at an
        annualized rate (ANN-ROC) of more than 60%.   In 21 cases the DJI rallied at least 3% before falling 3%.
        In 15 cases (red) the DJI fell to the lower band. 

        There were 15 cases here where the ANN-ROC was at least 70%.  In 10 cases the DJI reached at least the
        upper band before falling 3% or more. (These show a green result.)   5 brought declines to the lower band
         first.  A steeper slope and greater momentum clearly favors a market rebound.

        There were 17  cases here where the IP21 was above +.10.  Nine (a slight majority) saw declines to the lower
        band.  I was surprised to see here that a still higher IP21 did not improve the odds of a rally of at least 3%.   

        There were 16 cases here where the OPct was above +.25.  In 11 cases the DJI rose at least 3%
        before it fell 3%.  The current OPct is +.262. This appears to be a more powerful factor here.

        If we look only at the 4 cases where the ANN-ROC was at least 67% and where the IP21
        was at least +.14, we see 3 rallies to at least the upper band amd one decline to the lower band.
        This is probably closest to our current situation.

         The EURO has not been saved.  The Greek PM will let his people vote on the
         austerity program demanded by the European bankers.  This bombshell came out after
         today's close in NY.  A "No" vote would scrub the basis for the recent rally.
         The "Troika" of lenders - the European Union, International Monetary Fund and European
         Central Bank - say Greece must take more painful steps to cut its borrowing. But Greece
         faces riots and mass protests on the streets of Athens. The government could lose
         its grip on parliament - only 155 of 300 MPs backed the last round of austerity in June

         My view http://www.tigersoftware.com/TigerBlogs/April-28-2010/index.html    is that
         Greece needs it own currency to sort out its problems.  Bankers demand a single
         European wide currency to better control debt issues everywhere on the Continent.
         I would not bet on a "Yes" vote in Greece.

  See how  the Closing Power are now in minor downtrends.  It is never a good idea to let
        a nice profit get away from us. I admit that the last two night's hotlines have not been
        very loyal to Peerless.   This is because:

               1) I know that historically Peerless does not always give a Sell on a decline from an
                overbought condition that brings a decline of 5%-6% to the lower band.   There
                are not a lot of these cases, but they might be studied by some enterprising souls.
                In the last 45 years, there have been 29 such cases, about 1 every 18 months.
                Such cases in Octobers are rare.  But there were 8 instances in November.

        Continuing: why limit our faith in Peerless now?
               2) The good breadth now which Peerless heavily weights owes to the distorting
               effect of the Fed's policies of low interest rates.  My sense is the same as Bernanke's,
               namely in a very weak economy with little comsumer demand and high unemployment
               that monetary stimulus is not enough, especially when austere fiscal policies rule Europe.

               3)   In addition, we know  that the first two weeks of November are up only 51% of the time
        since 1965.

               4) We make the most money when Peerless is on a Buy and the Closing Power
       trends are up.  I would prefer to wait for that combination again.

        Financials were dumped today.  Watch the 3x leveraged financial short fund (FAZ).
        It held at support and its CP broke its downtrend.  That makes it a Buy if you disregard
        Peerless, which traders can often profitably do, if they are nimble.

                 Why are Professionals selling now?    MF Global Holdings has filed for bankruptcy.
        This is the eighth biggest filing for bankruptcy in US history.  It has been compared with
        Lehman Brothers in 2008.  The MF fall-out may get worse.  Customers' money is missing. 
        This could not come at a wrse time for Wall Street, considering the growing support
        for the Occupy Wall Street  protestors.   In addition, Ex Dem Governor Corzine has been
        linked to corruption in New Jersey in 2008.   Now it turns out he was its director when MF
        gambled on high paying bonds of Italy, Spain and Portugal as a way to bail out its miserable       
        proprietary trading record.

Jon Corzine to Get $12 Million Severance

         Is this a bear market rally, like occurred twice in 2000 with unsignaled drops
         from the upper band to the lower band?   Breadth is much better now.
         For that reason, I suspect the 11700 support or the 21-day ma will act as good
         support and we will go higher after this support is tested and holds.

        In the circumstances, I have suggested traders watch the CLosing Powers and
        do some selling if the CP uptrends were broken.   That has occurred.  Now there is a
        CP downtrend for the major market ETFs.   My guess is that 11700, the point of breakout
        a week ago, is likely now to be tested.   We hope and trust that will hold but
        today's 2%+ decline was uncomfortably steep and the recent rally did not turns the
        21-day ma of Volume up.  This is a warnig that there will not be enough buying to
        overcome the overhead supply of stock.

        Our Stocks' Hotline has taken some profits, in ALXN, IBM and HOG for example, and
        we have gone short some of the bearish MINCP stocks.  I think I would take some more
        hedging short sales.


                                HEAVY DISTRIBUTION MEANS "INSIDER SELLING"
     

         Look at the CP new low (MINCP) stocks that have recently shown IP21 readings
         below -.25. Short them on CP breakdowns if their IP21 is below -.15.  See AVID.

     Near Term:   updated last: 10/28/2011
  -------------------   Closing Power (CP) Status Report: CHARTS:---------------------  

   The 3 major market ETF Closing Powers restored their uptrend-lines.  The ETFs'  Opening Powers are still rising. 
   This is short-term bullish, but it a close below the opening would be bearish.

   DIA BACK ABOVE a viable CP UPtrendline - It will take a close of more than +.375 ABOVE  the Opening
   to sustain  the CP uptrend.   The Opening Power is still rising. 


   SPY BACK ABOVE a viable CP Uptrendline - It will take a close of more than +.531 ABOVE the Opening
   to sustain the CP uptrend. The Opening Power is still rising. 

   QQQ BACK ABOVE a vianle CP Uptrendline -  It would take a close of more than   +.19 ABOVE the Opening
   to sustain the CP uptrend. The Opening Power is still rising. 
QQQ is now weaker than the DIA.

   GLD is ABOVE its CP Uptrendline - It will take a close of more than 2.23 BELOW the Opening
   to break the CP UPtrend.  The Opening Power is still rising.
  Its Relative Strength vs DJI is at downtrendline.
 

        PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYS
        The old 2006 Peerless would have just given a Buy B4 breakout above the upper band.
        The current Peerless has simply stayed on Buys thoughout the 15% October rally.

        While simple profit-taking at the opening seems likelytomorrow, more important is what
         happens the rest of the trading day.   Watch the Closing Powers and the ratio of
         NYSE advances to declines.

         Getting 7% above the upper band is much more likely to bring additional gains
         than a retrreat to the lower band, even when we look just at only the cases where
         the DJI was still below the 12 month high.   The odds of significantly higher prices are 7:2
         judging from the 9 cases of this since 1945.  I realize this is pretty amazing, considering
         the news.  But I would trust Peerless over the Glen Becks of the world any day of the week.
 
        The DJI has reached the minor resistance of the broken July 2011 bottom.  A minor
        pullback should be of no surprise.  Most likely, after a shallow retreat it will then
        rally and tag the declining resistance line shown below at 12600 and then hesitate. Without
        a Peerless Sell signal, we should expect that level to be reached.  However, volume
        has not been so high as to lead us to think that a breakout is imminent.  A lateral movement
        with a decline back to the 21-day ma seems a reasonable guess as to what lies ahead.
        I still think the top to this move will occur in November with a late December rally again.

        As long as the Closing Powers and NYSE A/D Line trend are rising, we have to be short-term bullish.
        The rally has taken many by surprise. They now have to decide if conditions are bullish enough
        to chase the rally.  If the DJI does stall out here and falls below the 21-day ma, there is a
        danger that we will have seen just a last bear market rally.  But if this is the case, we should
        first get a Peerless major Sell. wpe3.jpg (68906 bytes)

             BGZ - Large Cap Bear 3x new 12 mo low nut not this is not confirmed by the CP making a new low
             or the Accum. Index making a 2 month low.  It remains on a Red Sell. The same is true for DOG -
             the leveraged Short on the DJI-30.  The 3x Finnacial Bears is now testing the support at 36 from
             its 12 months' low in February.  Much weaker looking are GLL (UltraShort on Gold) and FXP, the
             UltraShort on the Chinese-25.  The UltraShort on the QQQ has made a 12 month low in prices,
             but not CLosing Power or red Distribution.  It is also on a red Buy.

                      Exceptional Market Strength Is Usually Bullish.


            Yesterday, the DJI closed 7% over the 21-day ma without making a 12 mo high.  This is highly
            unusual.  In 9 earlier cases, it was bullish and in 2 it was bearish.  In 2 of the 9 cases, the DJI went
            into a consolidation phase.  In 7 of the 11 cases it was entering a rising phase in an on-going
            bull market.  Here are earlier cases of this since 1945. 

            There were  8 cases of the  the DJI being 6% to 7% over the 21-day ma without making a new
            21 month high.   Only 3 of them produced a decline to the 21-day or lower.

   QQQ BROKE BELOW its CP Uptrendline yesterday - -  It would take a close of only .35 BELOW the Opening
   to break the CP uptrend. The Opening Power is still rising. 
QQQ is now weaker than the DIA.

                 The size of the advance today will almost certainly invite some profit-taking.  I have no problem
                 with that.  You've made some nice money very quickly.  The DJI has reached the 12000 objective
                 I suggested.  This has all the appearances of a heavily manipulated advance using leveraged
                 Futures and ETFs.  See the massive blue Accumulation right at the bottom in many of the leveraged
                 major market ETFs, as shown below in BXUB. 
(Yes, we will certainly have to start watching
                 for these hugely bullish divergences in oversold ETFs' markets.  They are all in SECTORS.exe
                 on the Tiger Data Page.)
 

                 Will the market go still higher?  I do not see any sign yet from the leveraged bearish ETFs
                 that they have reached a bottom.  In fact, quite a few are seen in the BEARISH MINCP
                 stocks.   If the market were about to decline in a big way, these leveraged bearish ETFs
                 might show the same levels of high Accumulation as they fall to their lower bands, just
                 as their opposite numbers  (the leveraged bullish ETFs) did on October 3rd.

                                                                  Watch Interest Rates

                Why not let someone else assume some of the risks in buying now with the DJI back
                above 12100 where all the trouble started? Interest rates may be going up.  See the
                H/S pattern on leveraged 7-10 Year Treasuries.  What if there is a FED revolt and
                Bernanke cannot get his way in adding massive new sums of liquidity to the markets?

                                                               BANKERS ARE SMILING.

                 Bankers now seem happy that the governments in Europe have provided tanglible enough assurances
                 that there will not be a wholesale default by the poorer countries on the Continent.    The real problem, namely
                 that a single currency does not meet the needs of smaller, weaker countries that would benefit
                 from having their own weakened currencies to increase exports and tourism, is not even discussed.  
                 But Wall Street wanted any fix, even a temporary one.  The EURO rose strongly versus the
                 now suddenly much weaker Dollar.  That has sent up Oil and Gold and, as a renewed inflation hedge,
                 the US Stock Market.  The DJI rose more than +350.  At the same time, shorts are being stampeded
                 into covering.  Nearly all groups are participating, except Food Commodities.

                The Closing Powers are rising again.  And, reflecting European buying, the ETF's Openings have been very
                strong.   The Opening Powers can be seen in the expanded (exploded) charts of the DIA, SPY, QQQ
                and IWM).
   

                  Most big investors are still unsure.  New money is suddenly pouring back into defensive Utilities
                 (Look at the breakout there.) and the best Growth Reits as well as nearly all the components of the
                 DJI (which overweights oil) and the SP-500 (which has many financials).  

                 The number of stocks making Closing Power new highs is 6x the number making CP new lows.
                 Professionals clearly are betting on still higher prices and have not switched to selling, even though
                 the DJI is up 13.5% in three weeks.

                                          Does The ETF Tail Wag The Stock Market DOG?.
                 The Importance of Positive Non-Confimations at the Lower Band by The Accumulation Index

                 The broad American Public is not much in this market.  The Wall Street Elite is reviled in nationwide
                 demonstrations.    Tea Party people reached a crescendo of gloomy pessimism just as their
                 Congressmen refused to agree to higher US debt limits and caused  US government debt
                 to be downgraded..  But once again, the market is doing what it does best, making a mockery
                 of public sentiment.  This is not accidental.  With the Presidential Election coming up next
                 year, the Ruling Triumverate (Obama Adm., the Fed and leading Wall Street banks) are boosting
                 stock prices, perhaps, planning a new QEIII, new home owner loan protection and buying key
                 leveraged ETFs and major market futures.  Professionals are buying even after prices jump
                 at the opening from overseas demand. . 


                 It is my contention that Insiders and Professionals planned the bottom of October 3rd.   Our charts
                 are the evidence.  IMPORTANT:  Look at the high levels of Accumulation right at the bottom
                 by many of the leveraged ETFs for the general market as they fell to their lower band.   These are classic
                 Tiger positive Non-Confirmations. See also how the Closing Powers failed by wide margins to confirm
                 their lows, giving B7s. Clearly, there is merit in studying these ETF charts on a more regular basis here.
              .  I will soon start positing them, one for leveraged Bullish ETFs and one for leading leveraged Bearish ETFs. 
                 I can only do some of these.  But I will try to post the ones telling an important message.

                 Instead of buying individual stocks or unleveraged major market ETFs, we would have
                 done better buying these on 10/4/2011.  Below are only a few examples.

The 3 major market ETF Closing Powers broke their uptrend-lines. This is short-term BEARISH.
The ETFs'  Opening Powers are still rising. 


DIA BROKE BELOW its CP UPtrendline - It will take a close of more than 2.358 ABOVE  the Opening
to restore  the CP uptrend.   The Opening Power is still rising. 


SPY BROKE BELOW its CP Uptrendline - It will take a close of more than 3.0792 ABOVE the Opening
to restore the CP uptrend. The Opening Power is still rising. 

QQQ BROKE BELOW its CP Uptrendline - -  It will take a close of more than 1.807 ABOVE the Opening
to restore the CP uptrend. The Opening Power is still rising. 
QQQ is now weaker than the DIA.

GLD BROKE ABOVE its CP Uptrendline - It will take a close of more than 7.09 BELOW the Opening
to restore the CP downtrend.  The Opening Power is still rising.
  Its Relative Strength vs DJI is at downtrendline.
 

                                                PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYS

                   The markets are nearing levels of resistance.  The DJI's 12000 level (140 points higher)
           is the one I think we have to watch most closely.  There was only a one-day retreat from the DJI's
           and NASDAQ's 200-day ma.   I have warned the bears that nearly flat 200-day moving averages
           are less powerful resistance levels;  I have emphasized the surprise element of this strong rally in
           the normally spooky month of October;  I have showed that Seasonally, a November peak is more
           likely than a top now.    And I mentioned that Gold has just turned up.  Peaks usually occur several
           weeks after that happens.   These are positives that should allow us to trust Peerless a while longer.

           There is rotation, though.   The QQQ is starting to underperform the DJI.  Its RELDJI line
           is rated as "bearish".   This represents cautious profit-taking in the more volatile tech stocks. 
           Note the QQQ's optimal trading system has given us a Sell and the best system has gained 57%
           for the last 11 ten months.   Whenever we see results for the QQQ above 40%, we always put much
           more trust in that system's signals.  Look at the QQQ chart again, these red Sells are sometimes
           premature.  So more of an advance could certainly occur here.   But the QQQ's CLosing Power uptrend
           has also been broken.   And today, with the DJI up more than 160, the QQQ actually declined.  This is
           a bearish mis-step or tripping by the NASDAQ bull.  We probably should sell some of our QQQ stocks,
           especially biotechs, when they next break their Closing Power uptrends.

           Let's if a Tiger Buy and multiple insider buying spikes of Accumulation turn ACFN back up.

.  .
           With Peerless still on a buy, our Stocks' Hotliue will moatly hold tight.  No short sales
           will be taken.  Respect the upwards momentum.  The NYSE A/D Line is still rising nicely.
           And the strength of the Opening Power means that fears for the Euro may have been excessive
           or, at least, premature.



                          AMZN and RIMM fell sharply today and help explain the QQQ weakness...

                                                    PEERLESS REMAINS ON BUYS

wpe2.jpg (62315 bytes)
             
          PEERLESS BUYS SHOULD KEEP US MOSTLY LONG 

            The urge to take profits after a 12% DJI rally in 15 trading days was too much for the
            Professionals and others who sold with the DJI tagging the 200-day ma yesterday.  As
            a result, the major market ETFs' CLosing Power uptrends were all broken and Gold turned
            up sharply.  A short-term retreat is now most likely.  But, because Peerless has not given a Sell
            signal, the decline should be shallow
, though even a retreat now back to the 21-day ma would
            be by 3.4%.  So some profit-taking is justified in ETFs and stocks whose Closing Power
            has been penetrated.   But, I would respect the very unusual size of the advance and still look
            for higher prices into early November.  Gold has just started to rise again.  The market
            tends to top out only after it has advanced a few weeks, I have observed.

GLDEX1.BMP (1228854 bytes)

                                                         SEASONALITY STATS:
            Top in early November?   Then after Thanksgiving, a Rally to New Highs in December...

            Money typically comes into the market during the last few days of the month and the
            first week of the new month.  That might help prop the market up despite the grabbing of
            quick profits by the nimblest here.  Since 1965, the DJI has risen 67% of the time over
            the next week and the next two weeks after October 25th. These statistics are much less
            rosy if we look at all the years before a Presidential Election since 1931.  In these years, there
            were 9 UPs and 11 DOWNs.  Since 1967, late Octobers rose 7 times and fell only 4.  But
            Novembers fell 6 times and only rose 5.

            The most imortant thing to appreciate from the data below is that in the years before a Presidential
            Election, the stock market is nearly always higher at the end of December than it is on October 25th

            (or the end of October).  A +3% to +4% would be an average gain in this period.  The market
            was higher in 16 of 20 cases. The only recent exceptions were 1987 and  2007. Late Octobers and
            Novembers are a problem.  They are both more likely to see a decline than a gain.  Strong Decembers
            do more than make up for weakness in the late-October to Thanksgiving period.

          DJI Performance in Years before Presidential Election Year
               Red shows DJI lower than previous level.
               Blue show DJI higher than previous level.
