Daily Market Snapshot 05 03 2012



Daily Market Snapshot



The market is expressing it's indecision about which way to go.
 It is now a toss-up.

Market Direction Model
 
 

Today's declines were worrysome.


Today's market action, especially in leading stocks, caused me stand up and take notice. The government employment report will be released tomorrow morning. This report is being highly anticipated and has the potential to tip the scales in favor of the bulls or the bears depending on the numbers reported.

The choppiness exibited in the market today is calling for a more defensive posture.

05/04/2012 Blog Addendum:

The employment report this morning was bad. We were expecting 160,000 new jobs and only got 115,000. the unemployment rate has deteriorated to 8.1%. As a result market futures have turned down. The High Road senario I discussed in the May newsletter has for now been rejected. I will take a more defensive posture as a result and reduce exposure to risk.
