After suffering strong losses yesterday the market gained today to recover some of its losses. Howver, stocks did not give a clear indication that investors were once again buying stocks. Market breadth was ok. Keeping with the markets pace we are raising the support/resistance levels on the DJIA (DIA), S&P 500 (SPY), and Nasdaq Composite (QQQQ) (see below).

Unlike most investment strategies, the Market Cycle Investment Management Methodology includes a selling-for-profit discipline that (incredulously) seems to be a unique investment model. Over the past 40+ years, MCIM users have taken profits during every market upswing and repurchased Investment Grade Value Stocks during every down bubble. Any feel for what the results must have been?

The market action today indicated another day of selling even as stocks closed off their intra-day lows. Under the hood today showed investors selling shares which has become the recent trend.
