SGS is Still Short, but ...................

Just an update to answer questions / comments emailed to me via my blog. 

SGS is still short, but very close to going long.   A strong up day either tomorrow or Friday would turn SGS long.  At that point, RTS would cover its current short portfolio and open a new long portfolio with 10 long positions.  As usual, I would post as soon as that happens (if it does that is).

Personally, I don't think Market is going much higher.  At best, maybe SPX 1140 - 1160 sometime in August.   After that I expect an accelerated and nasty move to the down side.  I expect SPX to retest its March 2009 lows (700 to 650) sometime in 2010-Q4 or 2011-Q1.

Where are we heading?

Down Down Down as shown in thick solid pink on the SPX montly chart below.

First of all SGS is short (been short as of close of 5/14/2010), so you've got to respect that.  Secondly, SPX solidly closed below its 23 EMA on the SPX monthly chart; and on the SPX daily chart, 50 D-SMA is now below 200 D-SMA (Death Cross). Thirdly, notice the symmetric nature of SPX moves from its major bottoms and tops in the last 12 years.  That symmetry will repeat itself as SPX goes down to retest March 2009 lows around 700 to 650 sometime in late 2010 to early 2011.
