Are you sitting? Here it is:
We are in a recession.
I know what you are thinking - did you read that right? A recession?
Yesterday, the Natural Bureau of Economic Research confirmed what everyone has know for quite some time:
Erasing any lingering doubts, there was also a declaration that an economic recession has been in progress in the United States since December 2007, made by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the nonprofit group of economists that classifies business cycles.
Entering this week, there was a lot of celebration over the five day winning streak in the Dow - yesterday over half of those gains were wiped out. The good news is we are still above 8,000. The bad news is down seems to be the path of least resistance.
All I know for sure is that December looks to have the same volatility as the past few months - which is great news if you are a trader!

X,
In a post a while ago you spoke about a service you were thinking about that might help with setups. Any news on that?
Thanks,
TonyB
Hey Tony - yes, I should have a Q&A post up [hopefully] tomorrow. It is actually a service for daily watchlists.
I also hope to have my MA post up this week as well. And Tom C. was working on a guest post for [maybe] next week.
Recession? That is crazy talk.
