     Monday Morning Chartology

            The S&P remains in uptrends across all timeframes, even though the vast majority of stocks in our Universe do not.



            The long Treasury rebounded on Friday. It remains within a short term trading range and is fighting downside follow through from a triple top.  It is also in an intermediate term downtrend and above its 50 day moving average.



            GLD bounced off the lower boundary of its very short term uptrend.  If Monday is another up day, our Portfolios will likely start to nibble.  But our positions will remain small until it breaks out of its short term downtrend.
