It will be interesting to see whether fears of higher taxes from the passage of the health care bill will cause a downward reaction in the market this week. Jim Cramer thinks so.   But I am a trend follower and will wait for the market to signal its intentions.   I had moved my stops up last week and was sold out of a few things.   I refuse to give all of my profits back from the recent rally. There are a few warning signs from my indicators.   While the GMI

remains at 6 (of 6) and the GMI-R at 10 (of 10), the number of Nasdaq 100 stocks with their MACD above its signal line is now at 80%, down from a high of 93% on March 9.   And the short term stochastic is now above the long term stochastic for only 22% of all Nasdaq 100 stocks, compared with 75% on March 10. The MACD and stochastic indicators often show weakness before it shows up in my other indicators. Friday was the 21st day (U-21) of the current QQQQ short term up-trend. I will just sit back and let my stops guard my holdings.
