Another horrible week on the Wall Street. A 90% down day, followed by 90% up day, and ending the week with another 90% down day. The 20 days average true range (ATR) for Dow has moved from nearly 100 points a month ago to nearly 250 points now. For OPNewsletter,…
Another turbulent and volatile period! Last week started with a huge gap up rally after EU announced a $1trillion bailout package but by weekend it was a different story. Now there are questions on how solid it was. The confidence barometer, Euro, is now 4 years low and maybe even…
A painful week for worldwide stock markets. I think most are happy that it’s over and a new week has begun with a solid tone!! On last Thursday, Dow suffered the largest point drop in a single day in its entire history. For OPNewsletter May 2010 , we are up +11.6%…

And OPNewsletter’s results increased from 4% last week to +11.47% thus gaining over 7% in a week and easily outperforming…
As I mentioned earlier Dow is facing resistance in the 9420-9450 area and yesterday’s selling took it even farther away. Even relatively positive economic news failed to stop selling and after gapping down market traded in a very tight range. By the close of the day, all the major indexes…
There are two contrary view points in the markets these days. One talks about “new Normal” where the GDP growths will be more of 2% or less vs. 5% as was used in most of the macro or micro economic models of the past. The “New Normal” term was coined…
