GLD



All this talk about currencies devaluing nationally and internationally leads creedence to the MASSIVE inverse H&S pattern on GLD as seen in dotted red. One way to derive a target from this pattern is to draw a line from head to neckline as seen in green, duplicate it and then move it to the top of the necline as seen in green again. Curiously, that matches up with a fib fan line as well as a longterm Fib 161.8% line for a target of 130-135.

Okay, from 65 to 95 took a year, will 100 to 135 take a year?

FYI: Jan 2011 $110 Calls cost about $6.60 per contract.

That's 456 days with a stop below the 20 week SMA 94.20 as a break would negate the pattern.

Why the range 1040-1080 is so important.

If you run a Fib retracement between the linger term Fib lines of 1014 and 1121 you can get an explanation of the latest price movements:

1080 and above is top third
1067 is the middle
1040 and below is lower third

Remember sideways action is also consolodation and can be viewed as Bullish.

Bottom line it is dangerous to get outright short until 1040 is solidly broken and even then suppot lies very close at 1014.

For those of you holding MO (Altria) I stumbled across this Tobacco indusrty index which goes back to 2000. Very interesting on a weekly showing major support and upward trendline extension for another 10%. Also note that last weeks downward push was nothing but a gap fill from 3 weeks ago to the previous weekly high 5 weeks ago. Folks this is VERY BULLISH and tells me that MO below 17.50 is a steal for the move to 19.50 which could take 3-6 months. Those $17.50 Dec Calls bottomed out at around $0.52 on Friday and I plan on continuing to add on the lows and may pick up some in the money July 2010 if the price is right.

A test of the transportation index secondary trend is intresting to me as oil actually fell this week. This is definitely a chart to watch for indcations of the overall market.

This sure looks like a HUGE Inverse H&S pattern indicating OIl will stay low or may even fall more boosting transy profits.

Or would a failure to penetrate 4142 indicate oil may be moving higher driving the Transportation stocks lower?

Either way set an alert at 4100 as a reminder to check the transportation stocks like BA, CAL, DRYS, EXM, GMR, LMT, RIG

MCD


McDonald's boosted there dividend to $0.55 per quarter. I've not checked the yield yet, but bottom line is Mickey D's is a GREAT play for the kids portfolio and a long term hold. Especially when you consider the growth in China.

Look to get in below $55 with a stop below the ascending triangle or 53.85.

FCX 5yr weekly


A closer look shows it will not be a short till the trend is broken. Take note of the 200 week SMA at 65.45, a rising 5/20 week SMA, & and the turn of the 50 week SMA. ALL BULLISH.

One thought would be to get long above 73.30 with a corresponding cover and short oder below 73.

Verizon on a long term play. This 20 year monthly shows the Fib Fans act as support/resistance. A buy plan could be to nibble here with 25% adding 25% more around the 27.50, 25 and 22.50 price levels.

Taking off again for now and in the category of "one that got away, again". The Golden cross of the 50 day over the 200 day SMA's will add fire to the bulls here. The patient may get a second chance on a pullback to the 20 SMA at 16.95.
