* Breaking Support - The Russell 2000 Index (IWM) shown above broke beneath multi-month support on Friday. As noted in Thursday's Twitter post, we're also breaking down in the advance-decline lines for the NYSE common stocks and SPX stocks. Both have broken decisively below July's levels, erasing divergences to that point. As we've been seeing with the money flow reviews, there is simply more dollars leaving equities than flowing into them; that is taking its toll.
* An Email From Decision Point - Apparently a few readers were having problems with the user names and passwords provided as part of a free trial to the Decision Point service, as described in a recent post. Carl Swenlin, the site's keeper, wrote me earlier today:
Brett,
There has been some kind of mix up on the ID/PW I gave you for your readers. Anyway, I would like to extend the free access offer through 10/26 with a new ID/PW set:
User ID: magic55
Password: moments
My apologies to your readers for our flub.
Regards,
Carl
So there it is. The new user ID and password will now be good through October 26th; many thanks to Carl for fixing the problem and extending the offer.
