For Friday Feb 8 2008

Thursday the market did as per my assessment on wednesday. Market opened around the 1318 level as found support in the S&P, from there we mounted higher. Fear still persist in the market about a recession and defensive stocks like Phillip Morris are showing much strength in this market sentiment.
I have been noticing and reading of some weakness in the IT area of the economy especially those to do with outsourcing. One such first to watch for weakness is INFY. Presently in a downtrend should be highly playable as a short if the economy continues to weaken. I am still looking for a pullback in Gold to the $860 area but seems the fast money which was in OIL have set sights on GOLD.
The market has pulled back in volume this week and therefore puts me in the corner for more analysis on the next move. My ideal situation would be for us to get some buying and we move up and then go and test the lows but as said my times that's just my wishful thinking. Watch the solars they seem to be setting up again for a continuation down but I am not going to say when as I am not sure.
Watch for a gap up tomorrow for a short APPLE and BIDU seem to be weak here
