Why all the concern over the yield curve?

This is a very useful chart for those watching the yield curve (and who isn't the last few days). You can click on the chart of the S&P on the right and see what the yield curve looked like for that period (shown on the left chart).

NOTE the transition from 1999 to 2000 and how it compares to today..very similar. Then notice the 2000 top, we are not quite there, but that's what recession watchers will be looking for...and what they fear will happen again starting in 2006.

Persistent Overbought RSI - Bullish:

When RSI remains persistently overbought, it is a bullish sign. If RSI closes 5 consecutive days above 75, historically, it implies the market will close higher in the ST. Tuesday, the RSI closed above 75 for the 5th consecutive time on the Nasdaq.

Here are some results of back testing this that shows this is a very tradeable signal:

Since it’s inception, the QQQQ has closed higher 10 out 12 times 4 days later.
Since 1995, the Nasdaq has closed higher 26 out 32 times 3 days later.

Note: even on some of the lower closes, the index made a higher close within the N days specified…but for testing, I used a constant value for N (4 for QQQ and 3 for Nasdaq)

For fun, I ran some ran some optimization routines on an old RSI(5) system I used to use as an indicator. Supprisingly, according to these results, I would have turned 100K into more than 1million in the past 10 years if I used rsi value of 44 as a sell/short value and rsi 32 as buy/cover value and I added a 3% stop loss policy. This was for trading the Nasdaq 100. Go figure…

been playing GOOG options the last few days and they have been very rewarding and quick plays. It's risky to play this stock, but if you have a plan, it might just work.

GOOG is one of the few stocks who's nearby option value can drop intraday without any stock movement. This is because the stock is so volatile, that that volatility reflects significantly in the option price. there fore, the best times i have found to buy goog intraday is to use a 5 and 15 minute chart with the BB(20,2). when you see an extended narrowing of the band, that is the time to buy as that is when volatility is the least factor in the price...so that the premium you are paying is not "as much" based on the volatility at that time.

The next step after that is to figure out the direction. this can come from just knowing and watching the stock everyday..you get a feel for it. These options are played by traders, so the 20 and 50 ema on the 60, 15 and 5 minute charts work well as well as previous days highs and lows .

it is very risky to play this stock though...if you buy into volatility, you could quickly lose a significant amount. so buy when those bands are narrow only...
