What recession? Do you believe we'll have a double dip? With Oil prices dropping you still see the chance of another recession? Or do you not see any impact from falling oil prices?

Zeev:

Steve Saville thinks a major top may be VERY close.



We are currently at a very interesting juncture. As mentioned in the latest
Weekly Update, the top of the channel in which the S&P500 Index has been
travelling since the first quarter of 2000 lies at around the 920 level. In
other words, at the close of trading on Tuesday the S&P00 was within 1% of
its channel top. At the same time, sentiment indicators are revealing
extremes of bullishness. This tells us that the market could be close to a
very important peak (a peak from which a major decline will begin).

Also supporting the idea that an important peak is at hand is the fact that
Tuesday's stock market surge was not confirmed by other markets. For
example, bonds were flat and the US$ was weak.

Further to the above, a pullback is likely to begin very soon (the next day
or so) and this pullback will POTENTIALLY evolve into a major decline.
Whether it does or not will be determined by the behaviour of sentiment
indicators relative to price action (a small decline that generates
considerable fear would be bullish whereas a moderate decline that generates
no fear would be bearish).

Zev—

I understand the gold and dollar connection. My problem is that I do NOT buy the rise in gold at this time. I see rather the dollar basing and then rising for several months thus neutralizing gold. As of today the Fed still has more money than you.<G>

Of greater interest is how the e-wave count is not conforming to this massive fall that the Bears are expecting. Perhaps the initial premise that we are NOW in a primary bear market is incorrect. Here’s an alternative count:

We did NOT complete Super cycle Wave 5 in the year 2000. We merely completed Wave 3 of Super cycle 5.
We are NOW completing Wave 4 in a normal Bear market. Then we should get a rise to an all-time new high. Then AFTER the next election our primary Bear market will kick in. What is being interpreted as the beginnings of a cyclical Bull may be merely Wave 5.

Regards,

--Neutral

P.S. We should decline in here to 7900+ before rising again to 9100+.
