When a 'joey', is not JUST a 'joey' - Why HOMEWORK is good!

1) Daily downtrend is undergoing retracement.
2) After 3-4 pushes, momentum slows and price coils at Fib retracement, which also happens to be monthly High Volume Node and can see pocket on daily chart.
3) 240m and below hit low-adx zone during this 'balancing'.
4) If you want to read into MP shapes, Monthly 'P' profile indicates just short covering.

get ready....

5) 7/13/08 sneaky lunchtime move. 11:30am 5m chart breaks to downside after clearing some stops above.
6) 15m gets momo after 240m breakdown zone!
7) Is the 5/15 setup good for retest only?? NOT IN THIS CASE
8)...it's good for daily timeframe move with r/r around 100!!

any future value??...sure...watch to see if daily bear flag sets up some follow through ;)

comparison of S&P 500 vs some Fixed-Income ETF's

I picked the well-known Lehman Aggregate Index as starting point. Then added the two primary ETFs with same duration as the Aggregate Index (4 year durations) so that apples-to-apples comparison.

The Aggregate Index ETF is: AGG

The Pure-Treasury 4-Year ETF is: IEI

The I-G Corporate 4-Year ETF is: CIU

(note all of the above ETF's, including the S&P 500, add back dividends paid to create Total Return charts)
