For 30 to 90 days horizon: Per intraday report on Friday, Sold long SPX (12/10/04) at 1188.00 for gain of 8.5% and now flat.  Long SPX (10/25/04) at 1094.46.  Sold long Nasdaq (12/10/04) at 2128.07 for gain of 8.93% and now flat. Long Nasdaq (10/21/04) at 1953.62.

For monitoring purposes: Long XAU, 87.96 on 4/21/04.

Longer Term Trend monitoring purposes: Long SPX on 8/19/04 at 1091.23. Possible target to old high near 1550 level.

What to expect now:

The "Bearish Rising Wedge" pattern that we have been talking about for the last couple weeks appears to have been completed on December 31 and the decline that follows has started.  "Rising Wedge" patterns have downside targets to where they began and in the case of the S&P that would be near the 1160 range.  Notice that two bearish candlestick patterns called "Bearish Engulfing" pattern was drawn near the highs (on the graph above) and helped to identify the short term topping process.  Also the Volume did pick up on the decline that started Monday and implies the energy has switched to the downside near term.  The McClellan Summation index is also heading down and implies the trend is now for now.  However the McClellan Oscillator is nearing oversold levels near the -200 range closing today at -213.   We will be looking for a positive divergence in the McClellan Oscillator to help identify the next low, which we expect, may be near the 1160 range. The larger time frame trend is up and will be looking to buy back long on the S&P, probably between 1150 to 1170 area.   The next potential run may take the S&P near the 1320 range before find the next resistance zone.  If this zone is hit in the April time frame, which is also the 9 month cycle time frame, it would add to the potential for a reversal.  Sold long SPX (12/10/04) at 1188.00 for gain of 8.5%.

Bought ISON on 12/2/04 at 4.00 and sold 1/2 at 4.33 for 8.23% gain.  (12/21/04) we sold the remaining 1/2 position at 6.00 for an average gain of 29%. Sold 1/2 eght at 4.20 (60% gain) and have stop on remaining 1/2 position at 3.50.   On 12/30, we bought SQNM at 1.36.  Support near 1.20 target near 4.50.

Nasdaq Composite:

The Nasdaq also had a "Rising Wedge" pattern going into the December 31 high and also drew a bearish candlestick pattern on Monday called a "Bearish Engulfing" Pattern. The Nasdaq "Rising Wedge" pattern has a downside target near the 2090 range.   Volume also picked up on decline that stared Monday and suggests the energy has switched to the downside short term.  We may end up with a bullish signal near the 2090 to 2050 ranges and establish another long position.  Sold long Nasdaq (12/10/04) at 2128.07 for gain of 8.93%.

GOLD Market:

"Timer Digest" has ranked Tim Ord as the top gold timer for the last 12 months ending 11/12/04.

We have stated in the past that the XAU may be drawing a "Head and Shoulders" bottom, where the "Head" is the May 10 low near the 77 level.   Normally the Left Shoulder and Right Shoulder are symmetric in price and time.  It took five months to complete the Left Shoulder and may take five months to complete the Right shoulder, which would extend to late January early February.  The price low should be near current levels on the XAU according to "Price Relative To Gold" indicator and "Cash level" divergences on the Rydex Precious Metal fund.  A lot the time anniversaries are important turn dates.  Last year top came in January  6 and tomorrow is also that date and could mark an important low.

We double our positions in BGO on (7/30/04) at 2.34 and we now have an average price at 2.70. Long CBJ for an average of price of 2.89. Long NXG average of 2.26. We doubled our position in GSS on  (7/30/04) at 4.04 and we have an average price of 5.24. Gss is not acting well for the moment.  No change for now. Long PMU at average 1.12.


The McClellan Oscillator closed today's at -213 and in oversold level.

The “Percent Volume” Indicator closed at .34 and near the buy level.

“Five day ARMS” indicator closed at 7.24 and in the buy area.

Conclusion: Support near 1160 on S&P and 2090 to 2050 on Nasdaq.

Longer Term Trend: Long SPX on 8/19/04 at 1091.23.  Upside target to old 2000 highs near the 1550 level.
