The Swiss team continue to look for a shallow pull back in the major equity indexs. They are looking for a sector rotation from high beta stocks (ie copper miners) into low beta/defensive stock like utilities. They show a chart pattern of a potential utility breakout here and now. Also of note, having correctly turned...

I dont want to repeat myself but yesterday provided more signals for the inevitable direction we are on so its correct to stand back and repeat what has said before events overwhelm those unprepared for what is occuring. Yes, the list of arrogant central bankers who have debased their nation’s currencies is long indeed. Before...

The Swiss team have changed their stance a little. The recent strength providing evidence that the pull back, when it comes, will be shallow and not severe. From their technical perspective, they judge, this move will likely therefore run to the end of March or early April and score a higher high across the broad...

The Swiss team continuing to be bearish. In boiling down the reasons for their view they sight three main reasons. Bearish divergence for the McClellan, AAII bullish sentiment survey and the OSX put call ratio at extremes.

The US population expands yoy by approximately 1.5% (producing a doubling time of about 45 years). The rate of change here has not diminished.

Guns or butter, or better both and debt, has been the choice of those in power of our coinage for centuries. Intervensionst central planners that can debase the currency always do with either guns or butter and in some, desperate cases, both. In contemporary terms nothing has changed.

The Swiss team maintain their bearish stance. They are ignoring all the fundamental news re debt growth etc. Purely from the technicals they are calling a near term top. SP500 futures currently at 1290 so getting very close to their sell level. Techweekly10-01-12 As we sit here today it looks a bold call having many...

As attached from MS.. I have to say up front that disagree with the basic premise that stimulus is coming to an end. We have negative interest rates and imo these will widen as inflation rises. Direct QE may not be needed should credit growth expand as the fed, boe, ecb desire but on any...

UBS near term bearish but predicting the cyclical bear bottom in 2012. I’m out of time to comment now but here attached the comprehensive technical report. Dont chase the market and a fake breakout is UBS’s nearterm call. All the best for now. Rich UBSTechnicalStrategy2012
