The techs have reversal written all over them. Uncharacteristically, they have warmed the bench while all other indices have been hitting multi-year highs. Those old, stodgy boring stocks in the Dow are just about 300 points or so short of a blue-sky breakout, and the techs just sit and watch? That can't last much longer. When money rotates into the techs, it's gonna do so with a vengeance. Actually, there's already a lot of evidence of quiet, methodical accumulation. We both know what happens when the big boys finish filling up their tanks.

Accumulation volume has really built up now, the market must react. I think that will be tomorrow, and I think we'll see a strong reaction.

No technical buy signals yet, but the market is very oversold.

Also... look at what happened on prior occasions when we had a series of narrow range days after a bit of a downtrend. And there were typically long, bearish-looking candles at what proved to be the short-term bottoms. This is a recurring pattern:

Hey Keith, dunno if you are aware of this or not...

The old Potomac Funds family is being renovated. Now they are called Direxion Funds:

They have a very interesting set of long/short MFs now, including the following, all of which are leveraged 250%:

MSCI Emerging Markets Index long/short (can't find a chart): DXELX/DXESX

In addition, they have these funds, also leveraged 250%:

Midcap 400 long only: DXMLX
MSCI US Broad Market Index, long only (can't find a chart): DXTLX
Real Estate short only (DJUSRE index): DXZSX


These are leveraged 200%:

Gold long only (DJGSP index, not the GOX): DXGLX
S&P Latin America long only (S&P Latin America 40 Index; can't find a chart): DXLLX


Here's the list of indexes above that I cannot find charts for. If you know where they are and the symbol, please let me know.

MSCI US Broad Market Index
MSCI Emerging Markets Index
S&P Latin America 40 Index

Some interesting possibilities here.... not sure how many brokers carry these yet.
