The hint of a breakthrough to the upside  this  week.  The  bulls  are 
cautiously  walking  the  line.  The  150  day moving average has been 
crossed and is holding.  There is going to be some retracement to test 
this level.  In the meantime, it's OK to take some long positions.  We 
basically stayed out of the market in the past week but took two longs 
today and will  search  our  databases  this  weekend  for  more  long 
opportunities.  

Standard and Poors Average (SPX- 1412.90 - 05/02/08)

SPX Chart

Last  week  we  wrote:  Note  how  the  SPX  has  reached  the 150 day 
exponential moving average. Last week we gave you a target of 1400 for 
the SPX.  It's there.  What will it do?  Same  for  the  other  market 
averages/indices.   Just   like   the   average  member  of  the  fair 
sex.....it's unpredictable.  

Well,  reluctantly,  it seems,  the consensus is that what the FED and 
Congress  have done to support the economy and dampen the recession is 
working and the bears have been pushed back  at  least  for  the  time 
being.
