Thanks to Ira, BobR & Don. I would expect a retracement to SPX 1190/91 on a
ST basis today into next week. VIX & VXN are at the lower BB and oversold,
due for a bounce.
But there's a new crash-itis bug spreading fast, and crash-aroo talk is
heating up. It's approaching the high decibel level warning, which means the
exact opposite will take place i.e. meltup to SPX 1300. But I am bullishly
biased over the next month so WDHDIK.

Bank: Tuesday US Data Could Spark Selloff
LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. productivity data due out on Tuesday could shatter
the belief in a ``new paradigm'' economy of high growth and low inflation,
triggering a stock market crash, a leading investment bank has predicted.
Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein said in a note to clients that revisions
included with second quarter productivity numbers will revise away the
``productivity miracle'' of recent years, cited has a major factor in the
bull market of the 1990's.
``Investing in the U.S. miracle will in retrospect be seen as a sick joke.
The markets will be forced to confront this harsh reality on August 7,''
DrKW Global Equity Strategist Albert Edwards wrote.
``Make a date in your diary! The U.S. 'new paradigm' will then be officially
revised away! The risks of an equity crash are high.''
Edwards could not be reached to comment on how quickly this crash might
happen.
The term ``new paradigm'' arose to explain the fact that strong U.S.
economic growth during the 1990's failed to trigger inflation. Many
economists credited a rise in productivity, caused by technology, which
allowed businesses to produce more without raising costs.
This helped drive up stock markets because investors believed corporate
profits could now grow at a faster pace than in the past.
But Edwards predicted revisions included in the second quarter productivity
data will knock a full percentage point off longer-term estimates of
productivity growth. He said trend productivity growth could be closer to
1.5 percent than the 2.5 percent many now predict.
Because earnings estimates are based on a 2.5 percent rate, Edwards said the
equity market is vulnerable.
As a result, the firm's recommended equity portfolio is underweight equities
and overweight bonds and cash.
DrKW's model portfolio recommends placing 40 percent in equities, 45 percent
in bonds and 15 percent in cash.
