Daily Equity Market Comment 12/18/2007

We made a nominal new low today with some very trade able volatility.

We had a clear 5 waves up and it looks like we may have had the first leg down already, so this would call for some strength early followed by weakness and a retracement to the levels marked on the 1 minute chart below.

The bullish part of today was the impulse rally structure of the market and also its ability to recover from a pretty sizable and a little panic stricken decline. We even managed to keep a put/call ratio in place that remains bullish for stock prices.

As I mentioned yesterday, we will know very quickly if in fact the low put in place is the end of the correction as the market should move sharply higher from here.

I remain 25% invested with my intermediate term trading capital and I am 100% long on the long term positions after lifting the hedge position.

If we get more confirmation that this rally is the real deal I will be making call option purchases on select issues, with GM and Ford to the forefront. Of course after option expiration I anticipate getting into some AMD call as well.

We had a great day on the day trading with over 15 points captured. If you have the time stop on by and take a look. www.lowriskdaytrade.blogspot.com
