Tech Talk With Art

Lou, I don't know if you read all my posts. I called
the top of the bond market (although, a few weeks
early), called the top of the oil market about a week
ago (I like to think my timing has improved), and I
called the end of the bull market today (with posts
yesterday that suggested it already ended). Of course,
I could be wrong. Nonetheless, I plan to be very
cautious (better to miss a money making opportunity
than lose lots of money). That clip below is based
purely on technical analysis, which is not a real
force. The U.S. economy slowing (which pulls the rest
of the world's economies) will cause oil prices to
fall. Tomorrow, options expiration will skew direction
(perhaps, it will be a very volatile day). Keep in
mind, that it's possible, there could be a Black Mon,
where the Dow falls over 500 points. That would
generated a huge amount of volatility to trade May
options for huge gains. I don't know if it's wise to
be a hero at this point. However, I posted some
relatively safer stocks, e.g. BBH CBJ and PD. Arthur
