Jeff Immelt/CEO of GE
Prius of Power
The giant American conglomerate GE plans to open a hybrid -solar, wind, and natural gas - energy plant that can supply energy for 600,000 homes by 2115. “Imagination at work!”
Jobs, cleaner energy, no nukes – Bravo GE -Just where is this American company putting this energy plant?
Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it - ……………………………………………………… Turkey. Remember the head of GE, Jeff Immelt, is also the head of Obama’s commission on fixing unemployment in the USA. Thanks Jeff. Great choice Barack
YOUR Comments
Yesterday, in the comments section of the blog you (JS, EW Paul & Popeye) had a lively debate (scroll down) on Germany and Unions. Also lots more on stocks.
Media Matters
The HUGE preponderance of scientific evidence supports human causation as a major factor in climate change.
Yet in the period from Dec. 201o to April 2011 76% of the appearances of guest were against human’s as a cause for climate change. This of course was led by the FOX news outlets. In a contest of Scientific vs. Media saturation who wins?

Technicals, Fundamentals & Analysis
- Mirror image of melt UP experienced from November to May. For the last 6 days we have had a melt DOWN in declining below average volume. Complete pattern reversal – From Yesterday - Markets from the introduction of Fed QE 2 moved higher on weak volume, now [with the impending end of QE #3] they are moving lower on weak volume ( Note – NASDQ did have slightly above average volume)
- Emerging Markets, especially China are the world’s hope for growth. China is experiencing Inflation = Almost always inflation is bad for stocks. Three views SF Chronicle & Reuters & CNBC If the worst of these happens (CNBC) and “China’s inflation gets out of hand” we are all in trouble.
- The McClellan Oscillator (MO) chart fell to -63.83. US Stocks are oversold. A “snapback” oversold rally is possible.
- MO did reach -90 in March and - 130 last May after the end of QE #1.
- Reading The Tea Leaves -There is a high probability that we will reach -90 to -130 on the MO this summer. Still holding to May 20th forecast for this summer.

Oh The Pain and Agony!
This market keeps ticking off, and it’s extremely over sold, we should have a decent bounce any day now. Yup any day now! Any day now fer sure! Although volume was up yesterday we still haven’t had a high volume blow off of a day. OPEC didn’t help at all today and Bernanke’s comments Tuesday seem to have put a few nails in the coffin.
Market internals aren’t getting any better, the only groups up bedside the VIX were the oils. 60% of the S&P 1500 stocks are below their 200 DMA, that isn’t good. The MO summation index has turned decidedly down and the MO has more room to fall. SOXS the 3X bear Semi ETF was up 6.1% Wednesday.
The Finance Equity Reits were top in the high demand search.

Positions
Below – Investors411 hypothetical portfolio that should outperform the S&P 500.
SLV/AGQ (very roughly 2x silver) Sold 1/2 for +3% profit. Have a sell order in on balance for 3% loss. Considering selling into rally.
REMX - (Rare Earth metals) Investors has a 1/2 position in this ETF. Sold at/near open for 25.31 = -2% loss. Total for REMX trade = -1%
NLY - Annaly Capital Mgt. Ultra high dividend stock. Caution - NLY and similar stocks are going elliptical in heavy volume – usually a sign of a climax run – simply put – so many buyers jump in that the stock runs out of buyers in the short term and takes a hit. We saw the same in silver a month or two ago. Another day of heavy buying would be a bearish short term sign. For NLY the 1.04% gain yesterday is HUGE.
IMAX – Imax Corp. (3D) Sold at/near open for 35.65. -2% loss
TZA – (3 tomes short small cap stocks)
Bought 1/2 position in TZA (3x short small cap stocks) at 38.65 on Tuesday Added another 1/2 position to TZA at 39.75 at/near open yesterday
Will consider adding another full TZA positions on a moderate market rally. Otherwise will add a 1/2 position in TZA on minor rally.
The US stock markets have stapled a message in the head of Fed Chair Ben Bernanke. - We are not going to buy until you give us more liquidity/stimulus.
The question becomes how low can you go?
Repeat - Therefore Strategy is clear -
- Short any rally - Investors411 will use TZA (3X short small cap stocks) and SDS (2x short S&P 500 more conservative) .
- Sell long positions into any rally -
Disclosure - I own SLV, NLY, & TZA -
_________________
The Fed has moved from an expanding money supply to a neutral – No QE #3. Congress is threatening to contract the money supply. “We [the USA]need to grow at this point more than anything else.” Investors411 outlook will remain negative on the USA unless the Fed and/or congress return to more pro growth policies.
