Well, there hasn’t been much volatility in the markets to talk about, but things should pick up after the holidays.

Anyway, I wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2009!

New Lows

2008.12.24

The British Pound continues to make new lows against the U.S. Dollar…

GBPUSD-12-23-08

The S&P’s are making new lows for the week…

SPY-12-23-08

The Dow Jones Industrials continue to make new lows for the week as well…

DIA-12.23.08

Retailers’ markdowns continue to eat into profit margins…

RTH-12-23-08

Semi’s are making new weekly lows. If this continues, only a matter of time for the QQQQ’s…

SMH-12-23-08

Oil continues to make new daily lows (for those of you just emerging from your respective nuclear fallout shelters, the Oil Bubble popped a few months ago)…

USO-12-23-08

Finally, T-Bonds (in this case, TLT’s) stopped making new highs. We can certainly go higher, but from a low of 92.28, TLT made 17 new highs - which makes for a “high-risk” long position. In addition, the up trend is becoming parabolic, which often leads to exhaustion. This is like a game of musical chairs; if you’re long, at the very least, you should be locking in profits. You do not want to be the one standing up, all by yourself when the music stops playing.
