Quote from Samson77:
Well there you have it folks!
The DIA and the SPY have now tested the 5 year highs on low volume and an incredibly negative economic environment.
Record oil
Rising rates
A disaster that will COST net -Billions.
So have we topped?
================
Think some major aiplines have topped ;
record oil seems to confirm thier downtrends.
George Will had a good point on $100 billion Katrina;
and US stock market corrects about 100 billion [=1%]
and market advances about 2 % net =200 billion net.
And like you said Samson, below average buy vol.
Actually SPY has had some above average sell voulme this year;
but here is why I consider that volume secondary,
AUG - SPY only pulled back to close $122.58
Advances on bad news = bullish
Tek stocks tend to be a good buy in OCT;
mainly because they get low. Not a prediction.
