After being completely off-line for a week it feels good to have my Internet and trading capabilities back up and running.  Yet, I look at the chart of the Dow and see that nothing much has changed.  Price is still being pushed down by the double, overlapping cycles, as we head lower and lower, toward the ...

... lower Attractor at 7650.

The S&P Futures and the QQQs (Figures 2 & 3) look like they might be nearing their lower Attractors, however.  If they hit the Attractors and bounce, that will be a strong positive, which could possibly pull up the

Dow with it.  Or, maybe the stalwart Dow 30 will continue on down to the lower Attractor without the S&P and the QQQs, causing a positive divergence.

Average True Range is beginning to widen on the daily charts, and I expect it will continue to do so as the bounce forms, or the bottom drops out.  Either way I am expecting bigger moves in the near future.

The S&P futures contract has a nice Attractor at 815 and the QQQs at 23.35.  The RSI is low enough now for a bounce to occur, giving another piece of evidence to the bouncing theory.  

Standing in the way of upward movement is the completion of the moves down to the Attractors and the fact that RSI has had lower and lower tops since last November.  Yet, the bottoming of the RSI has been relatively high, turning at 38 and going back upward again.

To summarize, I think the market will continue on down just a bit more, until hitting the Attractors, and then take a bounce up from there for a few days.  I expect still that we are forming a bottom, which will continue to be very choppy for months to come.

As always, stay nimble, humble  and take small losses and big wins.

FAQ:  How do you decide whether the stock breaks out above the "Breakout" value listed in the table above.  For instance, it seems like you should have a loss on the stock symbol WPI for this week's picks.  ANSWER:  Let's hyperlink over to the Rules of Thumb in the Archives, so--click here.

day on which I could have entered this stock after my weekend alerts.  The horizontal line shows the price I listed as "Breakout."  The Breakout is a trigger price for me.  If the stock CLOSES above the horizontal trigger line, I buy the next morning on the open, if its price is still above the trigger line.

The CFTC requires the following disclosure statement in reference to hypothetical results:
HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN; IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.

These trading systems, like any other, may involve an inappropriate level of risk for prospective investors. THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING COMMODITY FUTURES AND OPTIONS CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR ALL INVESTORS. Prior to purchasing a trading system from this or any other system vendor or investing in a trading system with a registered commodity trading representative, investors need to carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for them in light of their own specific financial condition. In some cases, futures accounts are subject to substantial charges for commission, management, incentive or advisory fees. It may be necessary for accounts subject to these charges to make substantial trading profits to avoid depletion or exhaustion of their assets. In addition, one should carefully study the accompanying prospectus, account forms, disclosure documents and/or risk disclosure statements required by the CFTC or NFA, which are provided directly by the system vendor and/or CTA's.
