It's Brian Johnson again and here's a video on the current state of the markets. The bears had a decent day today but everyone will be watching to see if there's any more confirmation tomorrow. It seems these bear runs manage to get about 2 or 3 days out of the traders before the bulls rush in and buy it back up. We made it to some pretty major levels of support on the Indices and therein lies your chance to get in on a piece of the action if these levels are broken over the next couple of days.

It's Brian Johnson again and here's a video on the current state of the markets and what to look for as we move forward. The markets decided to actually roll over this afternoon and put in a series of decent red candles. While I don't want to put a damper on the bears parade it needs to be said that there is still nothing broken from a bull standpoint. We're sitting at or above a lot of support so confirmation tomorrow would really be nice from the bears.

Just A Matter Of Time (by Brian Johnson)

It's Brian Johnson here with another video on the current state of the markets. The markets have been absolutely wearing out the bears with this slow grind up but let's keep things in perspective. It's clear the markets are very overbought up here so a pullback/crash/whatever is imminent. In the last ten trading days we've moved a grand total of 35 points on the SPX with 14 of those points coming in one day. Don't be surprised on a pullback if we don't have at least one red bar that engulfs Molly Ringwald and her 16 candles. Be patient, wait for the more major lines of support to be broken, and until then stick to playing individual stocks. There is still quite a bit of opportunity there for profits.
