U.S. Stock Market – We’re starting to see the excess that is needed before a major top can be put in. As more of these types of headlines and predictions of higher and higher take hold, the more likely we can see “the” top (but not before).
I’ve been advocating for quite some time now that what we’ll end up seeing is a megaphone technical pattern (shown here back in January), which allows us to get to 15,000 or so on the DJIA. I suggest one consider a scale-up sell approach for general U.S. equities.
U.S. Bonds – Spend a few dollars and read the new book “The Coming Bond Market Collapse” by Michael Pento
Gold – It would be natural for a rebound to previous key support around $1,500 but there’s nothing natural in the gold market.
