This week's wild card in the markets could turn out to be the swine flu outbreak. With over 1600 suspected cases and more than 100 confirmed deaths so far in Mexico, and with newly confirmed cases showing up in both the U.S. and Canada, governments around the world have already sprung into action. In the days ahead we are likely to see increasing restrictions on imports and travel, with all sorts of ancillary challenges along the way. . . . keep reading

As always, what is most needed for profitable involvement in the markets is the ability to step outside of the emotional fray, at least long enough to get in and out of a trade successfully. Discretionary trading demands supreme levels of clarity, knowledge, discipline and self-confidence if it is going to get the desired results. Trading a mechanical system is of course the clearest way to act without undue emotional interference, but even the effectiveness of mechanical systems can deteriorate when the traders executing the system come under exceptional stress. And exceptional stress, it seems, is increasingly the norm right now. . . . keep reading

No one seems to believe that the recent rally means very much. There are all kinds of doubts and uncertainties about jobs, about the direction of the market, and about the soundness of the economy as a whole. Some traders say they're getting too uncomfortable to keep up their regular trading routine, because even though there's enough short-term volatility to make for profitable day trading, the underlying signals are increasingly difficult to read correctly. . . . keep reading

In a bear market rally, things start to look very good just because they're not quite as bad as they might have been, and maybe because they're just a little bit better than they were last month or last week. In other words, the market is so bone-tired weary of bad news and negative forecasts that it's ready to grab anything that looks like a bright spot on the horizon, turning mirages into miracles and converting hype into hope. . . . keep reading

We are not, repeat NOT in a bull market at this time. While the turnaround in stocks has been impressive, we still lack key confirmation for a shift in trend assumptions. With White House initiatives coming across as increasingly naïve, inept and/or sycophantic as big portions of the economy continue to decompose at an alarming rate, there's little to inspire optimism from consumers or from entrepreneurs at this time. In the meantime, any open trading positions must be aggressively protected, even if the trades involved weren't originally intended to last a long time. . . . keep reading

Right about now we should be moving out of the Piscean fog we've been in lately, but that clearly hasn't happened yet. If we're going to assess the markets correctly we have to start by wiping the sleep out of our eyes. . . . keep reading

The dramatic bounce in stock prices was certainly spectacular, but it was a far cry from the kind of action we needed to get a clear reestablishment of bullish sentiment for longer time frames. In the meantime, there are calls for prosecutions of the bonus-heavy executives of failed banks. . . . keep reading

With so much negativity in the air, the impact of just a little positive energy right now could be amazing. This is a time when the weak of heart will do best to step aside, but for seasoned traders with deep pockets and a lot of intestinal fortitude it's clear that a huge opportunity is about to unfold. At the very least, we can expect a lot of Wall Street drama! . . . keep reading
