Stock Breakdown in Full Effect
Friday's rebound was entirely expected, especially in light of the
better-than-expected payroll numbers. And a drop in the unemployment rate to
9.1% provided encouragement to traders that perhaps the market had experienced a
"selling climax" and would reverse and wipe away all fears. And when the
CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) rebounded to an intraday high of 39.25 and a
13-month closing high at 32, some thought that the worst was over. But with the
Dow Industrials and Transports flashing a Dow Theory bear market and the S&P 500
confirming a breakdown at 1223, there is no support for a positive outlook near
term. Let's face it: the U.S. markets have broken down technically and with
gusto. Thursday's market breadth reached an extreme with down volume
registering 87-to-1. To put that number in perspective, a 10-to-1 reading on a
day down is considered bearish. Note the monthly chart of the S&P 500 with its
12-month moving average. Normally, this chart is published at the end of the
month, but the damage is so severe and the sell signal at about 1275 so visual
that I want our readers to have the benefit of it now with the caveat that a
massive rally prior to the end of the month could negate the results. The
situation in foreign markets is no better. The iShares Emerging Markets (NYSE:
EEM ) exchange-traded fund graphically illustrates the massive breakdown with
very high volume both Thursday and Friday. There is some support at around $38
(not shown) but there's no reason to expect anything more than a bounce from
that level and then a move lower. Following the close on Friday, Standard &
Poor's downgraded U.S. debt to AA+, and that will no doubt inject another
element of uncertainty in both U.S. and world markets. As I am writing this, the
European Central Bank announced that it would purchase government bonds of Italy
and Spain on a large scale in "the most dramatic escalation of its nearly
two-year effort to stem Europe's unfolding debt crisis," according to The
Wall Street Journal. Rumors abound that the Fed has something "up its
sleeve," but we must deal with what we know, and what we know is that both
domestic and foreign market are in sharp declines. This week could be another
volatile one with stocks falling sharply lower. But volatility works both ways
and short-sellers could do well as long as they trade smart and enter stop-loss
orders with their shorts. The target of this decline appears to be somewhere in
the vicinity of last summer's lows, and so investors should either sell or
embark on defensive strategies like put buying or writing options on current
positions. Read Sam Collins Trade of the Day: Occidental Petroleum Not Looking

0.051 or 0.1% Weird day. Fates are messing with the markets. Fear of European
financial crisis keeps panicking buyers out of euros and stocks and into dollars
and GOLD -- but not SILVER . I reckon I got something right yesterday, snuffing
out the nervousness when I wrote, if gold "trading even HINTS it intends to
pierce that $1,560 resistance level, gold will race toward $1,575." Somebody
heard that hint today. Overnight the Gold Price traded down to 1540, and opened
in NY at 1549.60. Stayed under $1,555 until 1:30, when the whispers hit the
market. Not sure if that was the time that S&P announced it was downgrading
Ireland's debt to junk status or not, but that would surely fit. Literally, next
thing I saw was the Gold Price at $1,564, then $1,573.25. Let's deal with that
new all-time high close first. On 2 May gold topped at $1,556.70. Today's $13.10
rise took Comex gold to $1,561.90, a new high close. Two interpretations wrestle
here: is it a double top, or a breakout beginning a new rally? Remember the rule
of thumb says a market must break out by at least 2% (some say 3%) to qualify as
a breakout. That would take gold to $1,587.85 ($1,603.40 for 3%). Here's the
risk. Markets correct downward in three waves, A-down, B-up, C-down. I claim not
to be able to discern these, but my untrained eye sees A-down to $1,462, then
works at trying to find the rest of B and C. Then I recall that B waves are
often so ebullient, especially in bull markets, that they exceed the high
beforehand and appear to be breaking out to a new rally, until their bottom
falls out in a C-Down that takes them to new lows. And bear in mind that sudden,
jerky moves can reveal strength beneath, but they also are handmaiden to tops.
NOTE WELL that I am NOT calling this move by that name, only explaining that
gold's position is nowhere near as clear as the mindless enthusiasts would have
you believe. On the other hand (Mercy! I'm sounding like an economist!) gold has
made a slightly higher new high, and a financial crisis is fueling it, and you'd
have to be a central banker not to conclude that gold will drive higher for the
next few days. Question is, how much higher? Right here there's not enough tea
in China or ham in Tennessee to tempt me to short gold. To turn bearish gold
would first need to close below $1,540 then follow up quickly with a close below
$1,520. Tomorrow, gold could easily touch $1,600, and run on to $1,625. All
things considered, I would buy here (did buy some today) and not mourn too long
if gold fell back down. Why not, because I can't add and subtract? No, only
because gold, despite whatever intervening tumbles, will end the year much
higher, and scale price heights presently inconceivable even to its
cheerleaders. Did I mention that gold in euros made a new all-time high today,
too? E1119, versus old high at E1088, 2.8% higher. Here's an added twist to
yesterday's Silver Price story. Silver, as I noted, tends to outperform gold
when stocks are strong, and underperform when stocks are weak. Historical fact,
not treason. Yet more lurks beneath the surface. When gld rises, most observers
expect silver to rise as well, so if you are jimmying the Gold Price, as Nice
Government Men are wont to do, you need to jimmy silver, too, so that the market
says, "Gee whiz! Gold is rising but silver is not -- maybe that means the gold
rise is phony!" Just a thought. And what brought that though bubbling to the
surface of my boiling brain was silver's behavior. Yesterday it lost 85c, to
3568.9c. Overnight it sank like a rock to 3475c, but just as swiftly arose from
its bed of shame in the gutter, shook itself off, and shot up the stairs to
close Comex at 3562.9c, THEN add another 53c in the aftermarket to 3616c.
Meanwhile all the gurus and media voices are intoning their mantra (stocks and
silver, remember) that silver is falling in response to reduced global economic
expectations. Yeah, maybe. And maybe not. Add all that up, and I wouldn't short
silver with your money. Silver's tussling with its 50 DMA at 3617c, and tomorrow
is liable to paint a black eye on all those clever people and run for 3850c. I'm
just doing the best I can to stay long silver, but as quick as I buy it somebody
calls and buys it away. Another tasty tidbit: that wholesale buy discount on US
90% silver coin which stood on 98c under spot on 6 July, today has climbed to
68c under spot. This transpires after a long period when the discount has ranged
115c - 105c. I trust that premium to tell me when silver is serious about
rising, and its screaming that right now. European financial crisis is driving
this gold rally, so don't get too excited. Once fuel is withdrawn from a fire,
it dies out. Buy sparingly here, with one eye on the end of the crisis, and one
on its worsening. Gold silver ratio today rose a 0.50 to 43.838. One remember
with sharp longing the Fall 2008 US financial crisis and the opportunity it
afforded to swap gold for silver at ridiculously high ratios, and to gobble up
silver on the cheap. We might see that again, and join in shooting fish in a
rain barrel. Dollar index last night punched thru 76 and ran to 76.70 before the
Nice Government Men called out their cowboys to tame that bucking bronco. They
managed to run it down today to 75.703, but it was like holding a basketball
underwater. Not much changed from yesterday it's now trading at 76.022, but
that's as phony as the Consumer Price Index. 'Twill rise again tomorrow. The
euro added more downside to yesterday's gap, down 0.44% to 1.3970. The 200 DMA
draweth nigh, and standeth now at 1.3902. The yen slipped out of the Japanese
NGM's grip like a bar of soap in a bathtub, gapping up to Y79.18/$
(126.3c/Y100). NGM won't be enjoying sake and sushimi in peace tonight, I dare
say. Markets are whipping stocks like a rented mule. Dow lost 58.88 today to
settle at 12,446.88 (down 0.47%) and S&P retreated 5.85 (0.44%) to 1,313.64.

Gold and silver contract prices ended the last trading session in the red. This
was somewhat of a surprise for some investors. The precious metal safe havens
did not attract the full attention of investors after a weeks worth of
negatively skewed economic posts piled up and increased the anxiety level of
many. The major index composites ended the last trading session mixed, but were
below break-even for the week. The week for stocks was so poor that the negative
trends effectively wiped out the left over gains that had been made for the
indices in 2011. The DJI, Nasdaq and S&P 500 were all lower by over 5 percent.
Now, the stock market must bare the weight of the credit downgrade that the U.S.
has received. Investor concerns should be at new highs as the week opens, and
safe havens should benefit. Contract gold closed out the last session in the red

The major index composites have been under pressure as the negatively skewed
economic posts continue to mount. The DJIA, Nasdaq and S&P 500 all finished in
the red for the week last week and should be under pressure again to begin the
week due to the recent downgrade in the United States credit rating. Trends in
the marketplace have been choppy and the market environment has been volatile.
Investors on Wall Street expect to see the volatility continue this week. Stock
futures are already feeling the effects of the downgrade as futures sold off.
Investor sentiment is dropping and trends should reveal as much as todays
session moves forward. Little economic news is scheduled for today and trends
are likely to move in negative territory. The downgrade in the U.S., paired with
negative sentiment relative to eurozone debt worries should apply pressure this
day. Noteworthy economic posts this day will stem from DTG Dollar Thrifty
Automotive and Carmike Cinemas. On Tuesday, the Labor Department will post data
pertaining to productivity and unit labor costs. The data is expected to skew
negative. The Federal Reserve will release its policy decision in the afternoon.
Noteworthy earnings this day will post via Intercontinental Hotels IHG and after
closing bell, Walt Disney will post earnings data. Wednesday, the weekly report
on mortgage applications will post via the Mortgage Bankers Association and the
Energy Department will post its weekly report on crude oil inventories.
Investors will also get to process data relevant to the June wholesale
inventories this day. Earnings data this day will stem from Macys, Cisco Systems
and News Corporation. Thursday, as usual, will bring us data pertaining to
weekly jobless claims. This report from the Labor Department posts in the a.m.
and is expected to reveal that more Americans are filing for first time
unemployment. The Labor Department will also provide data this day regarding the
trade balance figures. Kohls, Nordstrom and Molycorp will post earnings data
this day. On the final trading session of the week, the University of Michigan
will release its consumer sentiment reading for August and the Commerce
Department will release its July retail sale data. July sales may show gains due
to the better than expected auto sales in July. Noteworthy earnings data this
day will stem from JC Penney. Frank Matto
