 Weekly Commentary  

Our DJI trend indicator turned negative on Monday joining the NASDAQ and S&P 500 indicators as company earnings continued to disappoint. We anticipated last week that the NASDAQ could find support at the 200 dma level and that proved true on Friday as the Commerce Department reported a slightly higher than expected GDP number for the third quarter. While this GDP report may provide reasons for optimism, Barry Ritholz is not so sure. We agree as the fiscal cliff still threatens and continued inaction by our leaders will almost certainly result in a new recession next year.

We continue to advise caution until at least our NASDAQ trend indicator turns upwards.
