Bulls Show Signs of Life

Short-Term Technical Indicators – Yesterday’s broad-market rally resulted in improvement in the 21-Day Breadth and Volume indicators for the Dow, as well as its MACD, 15-Day Stochastic and 15-Day Relative Strength.

For the S&P 500, the On-Balance Volume % and the 15-Day Stochastic improved, although the OBVP is still clearly entrenched in bearish territory.

Interestingly, the 15-Day Stochastic for the NASDAQ actually weakened yesterday to a value of 53.62 from 55.09 on Friday.

Long-Term Market Model – Bullish since August 23rd.

Investor Sentiment – The VIX and VXN both lost a little ground as did the Total and Index Put / Call ratios. The only sentiment indicator increasing in value yesterday was the Equity Put / Call ratio. The bulls, showing signs of life, shook off the Pfizer (PFE short/sell 10/9/06) debacle and pulled the major averages higher.

Asset Allocation – 100% invested within the actively-managed, alpha producing portion of the overall portable alpha portfolio.
