Weekend Analysis

(12/10/11)

The Mutual Fund Panic Index came close to triggering another Long Term Buy Signal based on the latest data from the Federal Reserve that was reported on December 8th.   Long Term Buy Signals have triggered when the red bars have dropped to -20 or below (points A).    Since the early 1950's only 6 Long term Buy Signals have occurred with the last one in March of 2009 which was followed by 105% rally in the S&P 500.   Furthermore every time a Buy Signal has been triggered the S&P 500 has rallied 70% or more from the low.    

As far as the near term once again it still looks like a possible "WXY" Double Zig Zag pattern from the early October low of 1075.  "W" rallied up to 1293 while "X" dropped back to 1158.  Meanwhile we currently would be in "Y" which should have an "abc" look to it as "b" of Y may have completed at the 1232 level on Thursday.  The target for "c" of Y still looks to be in the 1320's which would coincide with the trend line connecting the April and July highs (black line).
