Though the stock market is made up of many moving parts today, sectors and reverse ETF's, it is an extremely rare occurrence for the S&P 500 index to leave an unclosed gap.
Perhaps Pimco Co-CEO El-Erian's belief the stock market is on a "sugar high" since it broke above 1,000 will finally be respected.
Credit Suisse's Doug Cliggott stated, on January 15th, the Technology sector is the most overcrowded of any, caution was urged to readers at top of blog for a couple days.
Congratulations to all subscribers who bought GOOG FEB $530 Puts. 600%+ depending on when you bought based on our time-sensitive email alert on Jan. 21st; Poo-Yahh ! http://psychologyofthecall.blogspot.com/2010/01/time-sensitive-trade-alert-issued-for.html
To view the 2.19 point S&P gap (1,016.48 - 1,018.67) that occurred between close of 9/4/09 and open of 9/8/09, please open this link and plug in a 6-month horizon, then use mouse to magnify the forensics:
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/interchart/interchart.asp?symb=SP500&sid=3377/
POTC does not believe the S&P gap will close this week, though we do believe the downtrend toward that goal should resume Friday, February 5th, after the pre-market national Unemployment percentage for January posts and ahead of another tense geopolitical weekend.
Since we guesstimate there will be a 1.5% - 2.5% S&P bounce higher from the 1,074 level sometime from Monday - Thursday, swinging chartistoes and chartistas must be prepared to trade small, fast, and book intraday option profits in stocks with positive PFF ratios like: Joy Global (JOYG) and QUALCOMM (QCOM).
The Psychology of the Call team thanks one and all for your kind emails. Please do not forget to drop in and support our Lead, fat, and often controversial Political Correspondent on Facebook.
Here's a second technical opinion on JOYG and QCOM (click on the symbol).
Though the above opinion is often times different from our analysis, please respect the other two elements of the PFF ratio: fundamentals (micro and macro), and "polit/cies" (micro and macro), layered on top of the all important ch-art-istry.

Lower Manhattan Screaming 'Oy Vey' After Obama's Lecture Against Risk Taking; Disingenuous State of the Union Speech ....
.
We see the S&P testing the 1,020 range sooner than later. (1 month) The latest political developments have been less than kind to the Obama Administration, and well they should be.
.
From attempting anti free-market public option healthcare legislation to the ongoing demonizing of Wall Street bodes negatively for long portfolios.
.
The impressive bounce the market experienced since March of 2009 is in jeopardy right here right now. Obama's speech was laced with jabs at Wall Street, as if they were solely responsible for the economic meltdown. Shame on the president and his shortsightedness.
Though financials have been backstopped through TARP, the question now is what the hangmen (regulators) will demand in return. Hangman-type behavior creates a paradox for turning the economy around, as taking away leverage prohibits growth, and only private sector growth is what will eventually solidify a healthy equilibrium.
.
Obama specifically mentioned that institutions holding deposits must not take risks.
.
If it wasn't for leverage and risk dear sir Mr. president, the United States would have never become the most powerful and innovative nation on the planet. What is it Obama missed in his studies?
a
Firms like Goldman Sachs: GS and JPMorgan JPM did not need TARP money to operate, yet these firms and their employees find themselves swimming in politically contaminated waters.
Non partisanship and confidence is never restored by a get even attitude, yet Obama continually used Wall Street as his punching bag. Why are there no corrective actions against politicians like Dodd, Frank, Geithner, and Summers, did a lot of this crisis not occur on their watches and their legislative actions?
Many of the same players with a different puppet: Definitely Not Change We Can Believe In.

The War of the Exchanges is Meaningfully Affecting the PFF ratio for Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group (CME), Caution; Subscriber Trade Alert for CME Coming Soon ...
.
The statement follows a letter from Commodity Futures Trading Commission staff late last week that rejected the Chicago group's justification for barring transactions that could move contract positions to upstart market ELX Futures, or vice versa.
.
CME and ELX have jousted for months over the issue, and a final decision from regulators is keenly awaited by the industry as it could open the way for so-called "fungibility", a move that could transform competition in the sector.
.
The issue dates back to October 2009 when regulators approved ELX's Exchange of Futures for Futures, or EFF, rule that would let customers move Treasury futures between markets.
.
.
CME responded with a notice to members that so-called transitory trades are barred by the Commodity Exchange Act--but regulators have rejected that argument, saying that the CEA provides for similar transactions on other exchanges.
.
CME shot back Tuesday, noting that the CFTC hasn't ordered it to accept EFF trades, and that the CEA lays out rules against "anticompetitive activity."
.
"Antitrust laws do not require us to take action to enable new entrants to take advantage of our substantial investments in innovation and marketing through which we have developed deep liquidity, broad customer relationships and distribution networks and established a world-class central counterparty clearing systems," CME officials said in the Tuesday statement.
.
ELX, in its own statement Tuesday, offered a different interpretation of the CEA and charged that CME was the one behaving in an anticompetitive fashion.
.
"The CFTC's Core Principle 18, which prohibits an exchange from 'imposing any material anticompetitive burden on trading,' imposes a duty that is independent of the U.S. antitrust laws," ELX officials said in the statement. "If there truly were a market purpose--as opposed to an anticompetitive intent--to disallow the EFF, the argument would have been made already."
.
CME's legal team is expected to respond to the CFTC staff letter in the next few weeks.
.
Shares in CME recently were down 2.3% at $299.91, weighed by the EFF issue, which some in the market saw opening the way for tougher competition in the U.S. futures business.
.
Kenneth Worthington, an exchange sector analyst with JP Morgan, wrote in a note to clients that if ELX ultimately triumphs in its quest for CME to honor EFF transactions, it could open a "back door into fungibility."
.
Fungibility refers to the ability to put on a position at one exchange and remove it at another. It's allowed in U.S. stock and options markets, but not in futures, where the proprietary nature of contracts has allowed exchanges to maintain a hold over markets.
.
ELX has sought to draw volume away from CME by launching lookalike Treasury futures contracts, and will continue to do so later this year, when it launches new products modeled on CME's Eurodollar futures, tied to expectations for inter-bank lending rates.

Google's Page and Brin to Reduce Personal Holdings by 10 Million Shares over 5 Years; Though Not a Sign of Long-Term Price Erosion, POTC Believes it's Definitely a Bearish Technical and Psychological Development in the Short-Run ...
co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin each intend to sell about 5 million shares of the Internet search giant as part of a five-year stock trading plan, the company said in a regulatory filing Friday.
.
Under the trading plan, the co-founders would reduce their combined holdings in Google from about 57.7 million common shares, or approximately 18% of outstanding capital stock, to 47.7 million shares, or about 15% of the company, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange filing.
.
Under the stock trading plan, adopted on Nov. 30, 2009, the two would also reduce their combined voting shares from 59% to about 48%, the filing said.
.
"These pre-arranged stock trading plans were adopted in order to allow Larry and Sergey to sell a portion of their Google stock over time as part of their respective long-term strategies for individual asset diversification and liquidity," the filing said. Such plans are widely used by company founders to gradually diversify their investment portfolios.
.
A Google spokesperson said Page, who serves as president overseeing products, and Brin, who is president overseeing technology, are "both as committed as ever to Google and are integrally involved in our day-to-day management and product strategy. The majority of their net worth remains with Google."
.
Page and Brin in November 2004 revealed an 18-month plan under which they each sold 7.2 million shares.
.
Google's shares slid 0.4% to $548.10 in after-hours trading. The stock has jumped 80% in the past year but is down 11% in 2010.

Pendulum of Change Looks to Show No Mercy for Obama's Anti Free-Market Policies in the Historically Liberal State of Massachusetts

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Dream of Equality based on Content of Character and Not Color of Skin is in Jeopardy under Obama ...
.
He would force a movement against Reid, yet Obama chooses to have his liberal strings manipulated by the donkey pupeteers. A paradox for all American citizens of character, but especially for the 90%+ of blacks who voted for Obama and do not fall into the "safe" category for blackness. Please read on ...
.
Which category would Dr. MLK fall under, and by the way, all of the below are "unsafe" for being U.S. President in the eyes of Reid:
1) dark-skinned blacks with a negro dialect,
2) dark-skinned blacks with no negro dialect, or
3) light-skinned blacks with a negro dialect, or
.
Yes Sir, MLK falls into the "unsafe" category #2 in my porky opinion (impo), so he would have no chance of becoming a democrat puppet in the 2009 U.S. Presidential race, agree? Obama happens falls into the 4th category deemed as "safe" in the eyes of Reid:
4) light-skinned with no negro dialect.
.
So should everything be fine, forgiven, and forgotten? Uh Uh, I think there are "mo betta" facts cable and satellite TV are failing to cover in fear of losing advertising dollars in this "politically correct" world.
.
Ever wonder why Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. wanted to "cut Obama's nuts off"? It has everything to do with MLK's Dream impo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS883xWTKOg
.
IMPO, today's political correctness is backfiring for the Donks, and Obama is proving to be just another politician; a failure in terms of "MLK's Dream". Obama is a Chicago 'Yes Man' with little backbone.
.
This pig looks-forward to the 1st true black president, as now the road is paved for him/her to be a fiscal and social conservative, not just some big government, regulate and control, tax and spend, light-skinned- dialectless-socialist-sellout.
.
My porky guesstimate is a majority of blacks are anti-abortion, in favor of lower taxes, and welcome competition in the free-markets. Obama's actions are opposed to every single one of those principles. And now Obama has let down the 3 aforementioned categories of "African-Americans".
.
This should make tomorrow's MA Senate race and the Nov, 2010 midterms a lot more color blind, but especially for the 3 categories of blacks he failed to stand-up for. What would MLK's reaction to Reid's comments be? Paradoxically, he'd never get a chance since he falls into that "unsafe" category of "negro", is this pig on to something? please read on ...
.
Bring on Alan Keyes or Charles Payne, they happen to have much darker skin than Obama, but do they understand what free-market prosperity has accomplished for the world, along with social conservative values. Republican National Chairman (RNC) Michael Steele must be commended for speaking out forcefully against Reid.
.
Michael Steele could have chosen to forgive since he also falls into that 4th "safe" category: light-skinned with no negro dialect. Yet Michael Steele is a man of solid conservative principles, similar to MLK's timeless wisdom: "MLK's core beliefs, such as the power and necessity of faith-based association and self-government based on absolute truth and moral law, are profoundly conservative".
.
This white capitalist pig is proud Steele represents the Republican party, and perhaps ALL blacks will begin to realize they are voting with a herd mentality. Down with hypocrisy and up with honesty. If you're a democrat and still reading, congratulations, because the argument is about to get much stronger.
.
Reid looks to get away with judging Obama by the color of his skin and dialect, fully aware that the content of Obama's character is despicably evil. It's a fact that Obama was the only person in Illinois to vote in favor of : "Infanticide":
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NzRhZTgzNmRlZWE0MTA1YTM4NWMxN2UxMjA5YjBkZTE=/
.
IMPO, there'll always be some sort of racial tension, especially in a young melting pot like the U.S.A., yet this capitalist pig judges and ultimately befriends a person not based on their color, accent, or dialect, butt by the consistency of their moral character.
.
Oh-oh-oh, my fat pig snout would be remiss if I didn't mention fiscal-conservative principles in favor of a cyclical Darwinian-type free-market, not a bigger governemnt, tax and stimulate us to death plastic economy.
.
Last butt not least, why not throw a bone to the born-alive infants as well, please? Hence we get to liberty for all, from conception to natural death.
Dr. Martin Luther King must be doing grave-spins during the year of this Apologist in Chief called Barack Obama.

Now Here's the Crisis Capitalist Pig Bob Would Urge the Obama Administration to Take Advantage of; Surely Timothy Geithner is $alivating at the Options Against the Chinese Yuan
.
"We will be issuing a formal demarche to the Chinese government in Beijing on this issue in the coming days, probably early this week," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters.
.
"It will express our concern for this incident and request information from China as to an explanation of how it happened and what they plan to do about it," he said.
.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has already informally asked for an explanation from China for what Google said was a wave of "highly sophisticated" cyberattacks aimed at Chinese human rights activists.
.
The White House on Thursday backed Google's decision to no longer submit to China's Internet censorship in a row the search giant warns could lead it to pull out of the country.
.
The row has threatened to rattle ties between Washington and Beijing -- already frayed over a number of issues, from the Copenhagen climate change debacle to the value of the Chinese yuan and a number of other trade disputes.

Semi-Monthly ETF Alert: Technical Emphasis from Capitalist Pig Bob's Friend John Mylant
This Week's Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is XLF: XLF includes companies from the following industries: banks, diversified financials, insurance and real estate. This ETF normally invests at least 95% of its total assets in common stocks that compromise the aforementioned industries.
.
The XLF has adopted a policy that requires it to provide shareholders at least 60 days notice prior to any significant material change in its underlying weighting. Be it known, the XLF is not a diversified investment vehicle since its concentration is solely in the financial industry.
The last two candlesticks formed a bearish Japanese chart pattern I won't address for reasons of brevity. This bearish reversal pattern speaks volumes in a strong potential for change in trend. Moreover, I believe the bearish pattern also signals a dislocation betwixt the market’s health and market value of XLF, caution. Though the long-term trend is still bullish, there are complex technical reasons that make great sense to be negative and establish short positions, right here, right now.
.
"For aggressive trading purposes (stock and options), I've set the initial profit target at $13.90, but if XLF closes below $13.70 the same day it breaks $13.90, I would recommend holding until further update ...
Only a print of $15.45 would force me to abort the trade and admit I was wrong, thus the established failure target."
.
.
After a period of consolidation, XLF exhibited a decent climb last week, I believe it's time for it to pivot-lower. The weekly chart is giving the same negative signal.
.
As evidenced by this chart, the XLF touched significant resistance just days ago:
.
I am anticipating a bounce back and thought Capitalist Pig Bob's friends must be informed. Obviously, the XLF retraced lower the last time it touched the top of the Bollinger Bands, and I expect nothing different this week, and Pig Bob's friends would be wise to heed my warning.
.
CPB thanks Johnny Mylant for his work and looks forward to more of his technical insights from his scenic Rocky Mountain hideout in Colorado. Here's some of John Mylant's work on Seeking Alpha:

Obama Believes in Mirandizing and Trying a Terrorist Who Attempted to Blow-Up an Airplane on U.S. Soil, Yet Using Drones to Kill Supposed Terrorists on Foreign Soil is Just Fine; Who's Actually in Charge of Connecting the Dots for Obama?
The double standard for terrorists who enter the U.S. versus terrorists on foreign soil is clear. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jun/12/stop-mirandizing-terrorists
Afterall, isn't a terrorist the same person in the caves of Pakistan or filled with explosives inside a U.S. airplane? Perhaps the terrorist inside the plane is much worse; what is this Capitalist Pig missing, or is it our current change Administration that's confused ..
Bombing Update 1/14/2010:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100114/ap_on_re_as/as_pakistan
ISLAMABAD (AFP) -- Pakistan warned U.S. senators Thursday that U.S. drone attacks against militants on its territory undermined "the national consensus" that supported the war against militancy.
.
President Asif Ali Zardari made the warning to a U.S. delegation led by former U.S. presidential candidate and Republican Senator John McCain one day after U.S. missile attacks killed at least 13 militants on the Afghan border.
.
McCain said Thursday in Kabul, the capital of neighboring Afghanistan, that the use of such drone strikes against suspected Islamist militants in Pakistan was an effective part of U.S. strategy and should continue.
.
"The drone strikes are part of an overall set of tactics which make up the strategy for victory and they have been very effective," McCain told reporters during a brief trip to Afghanistan.
.
But a statement issued late Thursday by the Pakistani government said Zardari had pointed out to the U.S. delegation "that drone attacks on Pakistani territory undermined the national consensus" supporting the war on militancy.
.
"The president underlined the need for the strategic long-term partnership between Pakistan and the United States to be based on mutual interest, respect and mutual trust," it said.
.
Suspected U.S. drone strikes have increasingly targeted North Waziristan, a stronghold for Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the Haqqani network, from where the militants launch attacks on 113,000 U.S. and NATO troops fighting in Afghanistan.
.
"(Zardari) urged the American delegation to persuade the U.S. policy makers to give drone technology to Pakistan so that the militants could be targeted by Pakistans national security forces themselves rather than by foreign troops, which raised questions of sovereignty," the release said.
.
It added that Zadari had told the delegation that "the economic cost of the war against terror amounting to $35 billion dollars for the last eight years has almost paralyzed Pakistans economy."
.
Washington has put Pakistan at the heart of a strategy for turning around the eight-year war against the Taliban in Afghanistan, hinging success on dismantling militant sanctuaries along the porous border.
.
Pakistan is under increasing pressure to tackle militants who use its soil to launch attacks in Afghanistan and U.S. officials have said that the highly secretive drone program has eliminated some top fighters.
.
The U.S. attacks on Pakistani territory fuel anti-American sentiment in the nuclear-armed Muslim nation and the government publicly condemns the strikes. Analysts say, however, that the strikes have Islamabad's tacit approval.
