GMI: 1; GMI-R: 1; 3rd day of QQQQ down-trend; call options on QID

The  GMI and GMI-R remain at 1.  There were  33 new highs and  184 new lows in my universe of 4,000 stocks on Thursday.  Only 21% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks closed above their 30 day averages.  This is not the time to be brave.  I must follow the trend of the markets, which is down.  When the major popular growth stocks

(AAPL, RIMM, ISRG, BIDU) begin to crack, the rest of the market will

likely follow.  Why swim against the tide?  I am mainly in cash but also own July call options on QID.  The QID is designed to rise twice as much as the QQQQ declines.  I am therefore betting that the QQQQ is headed down, at least near term.

  1. Great blog.

    Will it be possible for you to reveal the criteria for selecting your universe of 4000 stocks?? Or point me to the post if you have already mentioned it before (I tried to look but couldn’t find it).

    Thanks.
