The trend of the indexes is now confirmed as down, so the successful strategy (for active traders) has been to short strength, though the rally off the March lows was in the neighborhood of 14%. The Fed is in a hard place, and Buffett came out today and said the Economy is probably worse than we think (or along those lines). Thank you, and Headline Charts for the comments.

It was a day to add some to one's short position, as stock prices rose in advance of the Fed announcement, if one is guided by an investment maxim such as mine: "in a bull market be a bull; in a bear market be a bear. In a bull market, one buys on dips; in a bear market, one sells into strength". Yes we are in a bear market and it is going to get very ugly. Having said that, however, and having set forth a model short selling investment portfolio in the website link, I suggest that one not use short selling, as all one has is a dollar denominated investment I recommend that one dollar cost average and investment in gold. Best to all. Nice charts.

I did notice that NASDAQ new lows were at a very high level while the market was rallying after the announcement, and that generally indicates a rally will fail into the close.
