In a Nutshell

What We Are Doing - After a long period in the overbought range, the equities market seems ready for a rest. For now this is no more than a pause, since both the long and the intermediate term trends are still positive and a new ma rket direction has certainly not manifested yet. In anticipation of a short term correction, we did, however, close some of our profitable positions.

Great results in this market that, since our latest bullish signal in early February, saw the DJ Average rise about 1,200 points!

What The Markets Are Doing - Friday's news that the SEC had charged Goldman Sachs (GS) and one of the company's vice presidents with fraud related to subprime securities caused a 9.4% loss for GS and hit the broader financial sector, which fell 3.8% in its worst slide since February. More than 90% of the stocks in the S&P 500 followed suit and retreated into the red.

Many market participants were looking for a reason to lock in profits after the S&P 500's climb of nearly 4% over the course of the previous 10 sessions, 7 of which marked new 52-week highs.

Gold had a sharp pullback on Friday (which stopped us out of our positions with good profit), but the overall trend is still quite bullish. We'll look for new opportunities to go long again in the coming days.

Crude Oil also retreated a bit on Friday and is working some resistance which, if crossed, could bring us to new highs in this market.

Long Term Treasury Bonds are still in a downward move, while Corporate Bonds are trading over a relatively extended range. We are currently staying out of this market.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Verizon Communications (VZ), Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) and Bristol-Meyers Squibb (BMY) are poised for a downturn. Watch our real-time alerts for details and timing.
