    The shorts are pleading their case on CNBC regarding the rally especially the banks. Some what of a pull back is good to flush out the sellers where new money can come in

    Are Equities Riding on the Hindenburg?
    Posted by lplresearch

    The market action since the election has been historic in many ways. We noted many of the rare occurrences in a blog post here. Something new happened on Monday that has never happened before. More than 300 issues on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) made new 52-week highs, while more than 300 issues also made new 52-week lows. Think about that: many things are making new highs, while many are also making new lows—that is a confused market!

    Taking a deeper look, on Monday, 353 issues on the NYSE made a new 52-week high, the most in more than three months. At the same time, 330 issues made a new 52-week low, the most since February 11. As you might recall, that date was also the calendar year low for the S&P 500.

    What could this wide dispersion mean? Without getting into all the details, there is a popular bearish technical pattern that is used to forecast potential stock market crashes called the Hindenburg Omen (after the Hindenburg disaster in 1937). One of the criteria for this omen to trigger is a surge in both new highs and new lows—exactly what we just saw. The thinking is this suggests a market that is very unsure of itself.

    So should we get ready for the next major market crash? To quote the great Lee Corso, “Not so fast my friends.” The NYSE data are skewed significantly by debt-like instruments. You see, bonds had one of their worst weeks ever last week (according to the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index), so anything that is linked to fixed income also had a very rough week, with many debt instruments making new lows along the way. Looking at common stocks only shows a much different backdrop, as on Monday common stocks made 319 new highs, with only 21 new lows.

    Here’s another way to show this using advance/decline lines. An advance/decline line is simply a daily cumulative tally of how many stocks were up or down each day on an exchange. A higher trending advance/decline line suggests a technically sound market. As you can see here, historically the common stock only and NYSE A/D lines have traded very closely, but since the election the common stock only has done much better than the NYSE A/D line, suggesting equity markets could be on a much firmer footing than some think. As Ryan Detrick, Senior Market Strategist, put it, “The theory behind the Hindenburg Omen of many stocks making new highs and lows at the same time has a decent track record and isn’t something to ignore. However, the reality is the historically weak bond market may be skewing market internals right now. Equities continue to be on very firm footing here.”

    Yes, the markets will come crashing down. When? After you are broke trying to short it.

    But yes, eventually it's going to come down. My guess? During the first year of the Trump presidency. It'll be blamed on some news event. Some bubble bursting. But ultimately, it'll be because people decided to take profit.

    If I could guess exact timing, I'd be a rich man. I will try and profit though by doing an /ES-/NQ pairs trade. I'll go long on the ES and short on the NQ because I think Nasdaq will crash harder.

    I feel like now is the time to take a drive up to Canada and buy a bunch of crap at a discount.

    Stock market investors turn to small-caps after Trump win. That would be the right opportunity when you buying under 5$ USD penny stocks and get the highest return on them. Get right penny stock alerts and calls which is the most profitable deal for you. Small Cap Firm giving you a sure shot call for short-term penny investment.

    looks like the /es may want to test yesterday's overnight high (which was also a new ATH) ... as we know the highs usually made in the ETH are usually not the ultimate highs of the move ... would like to see that during the RTH ... plus cash did not make a new ATH yet ... we'll see

    BBY and Lowe's earnings trades worked out pretty solid.

    My natural gas trade needs some colder weather. Can we please have some snow storms?

    I'm thinking those jobless claims are going to change dramatically once the new administration gets up and running.

    The S&P and the NASDAQ aren't too far away from joining the Dow and the small caps to make the new all time highs :p

    and in fact the transportation index isn't all too far off from ATHs either ... dow theorists must be going absolutely gaga over that thought lol

    the gc (gold futs) is actually holding up relatively well all things considered but if we continue to see this dollar rip faces off as it has been since post-election then i gotta believe the yellow metal will finally bust this 1200 level at some point
