BIG MOVES IN ALL THE MARKETS
Last week we saw the markets have massive gains both on the upside in the case of equities, gold, silver and crude oil. The US dollar came under pressure losing 1.6% on its index.

 

You have to be impressed with the market action and certainly this is a classic example of markets not following the fundamentals. I think everyone can agree that the fundamentals in Europe are not good and they are not particularly great here in the United States.

A quick look at the changes for last week:

S&P 500 Index: – up a positive 3.78% * Spot Silver:– up double digits with a gain of 12.64% * Spot Gold: - up 6.15% * Crude Oil (December): - up 7.05% * Dollar Index: - down 1.6% * Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index: - up 3.9%

So let's go look at the charts and see what to expect for this coming trading week and find out how we can create can maintain your wealth in 2011.

This is  Adam Hewison for MarketClub, I'll see you Monday, have a great weekend.

10 thoughts on “The week that was ... and what a week! Weekend Video Update

  1. I have heard nothing but talk about Europe's problems for months, which of course is a huge concern for everyone.
    And I have lost money on my short positions (I bought January SPY puts in September). My concern is what happens when our U.S. "Supercommittee" has to make a decision on what to cut by the end of November?
    If they make a decision, I am wondering what markets will be affected the most, and if they don't come to an agreement what do the automatic cuts mean for the market most likely? My money is on some down days around that time and I am holding my short SPY positions until then. Unless of course all triangles go Green.

  2. I don't think Europe has settled a darn thing. There is nothing different in last week's package from what the tall foreheads did last summer, and that led to a big, fat selloff in the market after a rally. There's a LETTER promising austerity, hoo-ray! There are a lot of promises and faulty math. Private lenders have agreed to take 50 cents on the dollar on their loans. Hoo Ray! (who are these lenders? And why did they agree to take such a haircut?), and an agreement to look at the situation again in November. Greece gets to reduce its debt to 120% of GDP with a bailout financed by unhappy european taxpayers. Hoo-ray.

    After the 300+ euphoria rally, it is time to look at the details, where the devil lives.

  3. Missing this time, for the first time, is advice for long, medium and short-term traders. Wassup? Is this a long-term policy change? If so, why?

    Best wishes

  4. Adam,

    (although thoughts welcome from anyone)

    I have been short the S&P for a while and over OCtober I have made a significant loss. I have admitted defeat but my question is - should I sell now or wait for a slight dip to the S&P during November?

    What do you think??

    Cheers

  5. Adam, what kind of action will it take for silver's Monthly Triangle to turn green? Thanks

  6. What is the significance of a score of -70? I'd say that a move of +13 % is a pretty bullish move. Still you're recommending folks to short this market.

  7. I am as excited as you to see that S&P earnings are 80% of their 2006-2007 peak. I guess only 34% of are either honest or have not lowered their expectations-st.

  8. Note to all followers:

    One should look at fundamental, always.

    Markets do following the fundamentals.

    That's why the markets rally...

    Over 66% of the SP500 companies showed profits above expectation.
