Technical
Monday Morning Chartology
The S&P has stayed within its short term down trend and intermediate term trading range. It closed near the lower boundary of its intermediate term trading range Friday which I view as a level to nibble.

Disappointingly, GLD busted well below the lower boundary of its short term up trend. As you can see, it is near the lower boundary of its intermediate term up trend. Our Portfolios will not take action until we see whether or not GLD holds that support level.

Most worrisome is the VIX. It once again spiked above the upper boundary of its trading range. While our time and distance discipline applies, if this break is confirmed, it is a negative for stocks.

However, in line with our strategy to Buy at the low end of the current trading range, our Portfolios will nibble this morning at the opening.
