Trade Ideas for 05/11/09

Friday's action was similar to Thursday's, but in reverse. We got relentless buying almost all day long, but tempered, lacking intensity. Looking over the charts, I see a divided market. Commodities, basic materials and the financials soared, but other sectors, most notably semiconductors, performed poorly. This type of divergence can't continue for long. So far the parabola is holding up, but the way these formations go we ought to soon see acceleration and/or collapse. The siren song of quickly soaring prices has always proven irresistible to retail investors, but the challenge is to jump ship before getting smashed on the rocks.
