Off to Transylvania!

No, it’s not what you think.   I’m not packing the goats and chickens (I have a head chicken, I’ll have you know) and donkeys up for a caravan trip to Romania, even though that’s the legendary land that spawned Vlad Dracul.

Otherwise known as “Gapping and Yapping.”   No scheiss, join The PPT and check it out.  He’s the real thing.

No, no plans for Romania, just yet.   Instead my title refers to the oft-promised Dow Theory Analysis of the Transports that I’d mentioned over last weekend.   Despite the hotness of yesterday’s gold pick [[BBA]], I will digress in a wood less traveled by, and momentarily  talk about the Dow Transports and how they are giving us nice signs, despite the prevalent gloom and doom.

The Transports, as I’ve mentioned before, are the key to the Dow Theory.   If they do not confirm, then there is no bear… yet.    And thus far, the Dow Jones Transportation Index [[$TRAN]] has not confirmed a lower low vis-a-vis those February lows which we made on the SPY recently.  Note how the weekly shows the non-confirmation:

As you can see on the weekly, the Trannies have gotten back above that very important 61.8% Golden Ratio Fibonacci Line.   I believe that line will serve as support, even if we enter into a temporary oversold condition here, kudos to The PPT.

On the daily, it’s a similar exercise in rebuilding:

 

We’ve had five days of nice solid recovery, the last two of which have broken that downtrend line with some vim.   Though today connotes a bit of oversold-ness, I’d contend we will find some support on that downtrend line, and better, that the Transports will lead us higher again.

Before you give me a rose tiara and call me Polyanna, please recognize there’s only one reason for the stock market to be rallying right now, and it stems from the sound of that “clacking” that you hear even more disinctly than the Vuvazellas (sp?) contributing to the beehive noises at the World Cup. 

Remember that dollar weekly chart from about a week back?  Well, coincidentally, Old Uncle Green-backs is still following that script… I touched nothing on the narrative here, just updated the chart itself…

I think we’re headed into more dollar doom.  Probably not all at once, but herky-jerky, back down the pike.  That means inflating asset markets, no matter what the CPI says.

Act accordingly.   And for goodness sakes, get into The PPT so you can tell your grandkids about saving their college tuituons.  Best to you all.

    LOL – how would the Vking have handled that drunk grabbing him like that?

    Probably would’ve ‘hammer-curled’ him into the street.

      I’m figuring those students must’ve been hobbits or something. I am amazed at the libs falling over themselves to provide cover for this old drunk.

      Embarrassing.

        Journalism majors aren’t exactly known for their toughness.

        Speaking of wusses, whatever happened to the ‘dominos pizza’ kid from shortskirtizstan?

        BTW, steering me away from Veco at $32 is going on your permanent record ; )

          I can’t hold your hand all day, you know. If you see a reversal, you have to hop it.

          Like today, the Trannies are off and running. Taking advantage of that printing press cash before it becomes worthless, is old Warren.

            lol
            Don’t you worry. I backed up the truck on TNA last week under $41 instead. Sold yesterday @ $47.

    Hey Jake,

    You mention “oversold” twice. Don’t you mean overbought? Or am I misreading what you’re saying?

      Yes, apologies on that. Sometimes late at night my brain goes into “dyslexic mode.” Thanks for the edit, which will have to wait before I can make it.

        No worries, I just wanted to make sure I understood correctly 🙂

    Any reason for TC getting a clown-raping down to mid $8’s and then rallying? Am I reading the chart correctly in that it looks like some pretty heavy overhead resistance? Or is it a buy here?

    As an aside, I appreciate your help with everything, if I had more trading capital / traded more frequently, I’d buy the PPT…. I did however, get my dad to sign up and he likes it quite a bit.

      Not quite sure what caused it… could be the deflationary head-fake. Yes, it is running into some resistance here at $10, and might get stopped up here, along w. the rest of the market.

      The weekly looks more promising, however, as we are coming off oversold conditions.

    Ahhh,
    Vlad the impaler, the dracul, or simply the impaler. What a guy. Couldnt be stopped to bury the dead, no problem! Warn your enemies, and give directions to your cities, just line the roads with, “examples”.
    Today, we impale them on television for an example. Just look at BP, you do not need any warnings, just watch how they look impaled on tv.
    Impressive, wot?
