THE CASE OF THE MISSING ZWEIG OVERBOUGHT

January 11, 2013 7:36 am

How is the market looking? The Zweig breadth index,simply the 10-day moving average of the NYSE A/D line, tells us the accumulating effect of breadth over a 10-day period. The index usually travels to overbought about once per quarter as the market goes on a buying binge. The way the market is currently set up, it would have to really break hard to the upside to sweep the index into overbought. It would be an awe-inspiring move, … For today: We remain bullish, but feeling claustrophobic. Our range today is ESH 1477 on the topside and 1460 on the downside. A break of …

December 27, 2012 7:31 am

My son was home for the holidays and we don’t talk much about my work or the markets or trading, but he has some IRA money that he wants to speculate with in some small cap arena.
