WhisperNumber.com Outlier Report, 06/28/2010
Last report we stated that there is "potential for a neutral or stagnant market, but we'll look for market weakness (overall) moving forward." The morning after that report was released the Dow was at 10,192. The market moved two hundred points higher and stayed range bound (stagnant?) between 10,404 and 10,450. The market closed today 101 points higher at 10,293. We did see the stagnant market, but only after a two hundred point move higher. Once again though the market ended higher (only slightly) for the week against our expectation of weakness. The investor confidence reading moved 4.7% lower to 26.6%. Investors quickly forgot about the two point gain earlier in the week and only focused on the range bound market Read the rest of this entry »

Last report we stated data "now indicates a flat or neutral market moving forward." The morning after that report was released the Dow was at 11,204. The market closed today 277 points lower at 10,927. The market did remain range bound (between 10,991 and 11,167) for most of the week, realizing a strong negative move in yesterdays trading. The investor confidence reading, having been run last week on Thursday and Friday, moved 3.2% higher to 50.8%. (If that survey was run today we (more than likely) would have seen investor confidence drop. We'll need to go back to our 4/2 reading indicating investor over-confidence (overbought market) as this may been 'the' sign of yesterday's market correction (if it can be called that.) Without clear direction in the recent data we'll remain side-lined and continue to look for a flat or neutral market moving forward. Read the rest of this entry »
