Markets Set Up For Blow-Off Top?
by The Investment U Research Team
With fear subsiding that the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression has been averted, the global markets resumed their uptrend from last week, stocks jumped this morning.
And while that’s a good thing for many looking to recover some of their losses, it’s not entirely “coming up roses.”
The concern is that without strong fundamentals driving this market upswing, we are setting ourselves up for a blow-off top – a trading pattern that is marked by an increase in volume and sharp upward price movement followed by a severe drop.
Anyone see some similarities here?
Over the past couple of weeks we’ve heard the mainstream media talk about a significant pullback, which talk of such has almost dried up. This is either proof that there won’t be one, or an ominous warning sign that everyone is jumping into the pool.
And when everyone who can is “in the pool” the water level can’t go any higher. When that happens, the water (market) levels will go down – and quickly – as everyone rushes for the exits.
There may be plenty of optimism running rampant on Wall Street, but without fundamentals, namely real earnings, this rally will loose steam at best and severely correct at worst.

The Single Best Investment for 2009
Forget another stimulus package. Or retreating into "safe-havens" like cash and gold. All you need in 2009 is a small exposure to the "secret" White Cap Index.
It's up as much as 171% straight through Wall Street's meltdown. And one of the latest stocks to be added - an Internet-related venture capital company - is up over 100% since its inclusion into the Index.
Just weeks from now, we'll add another White Cap stock to this market-trouncing index. To get a sneak peek, click here for full details.
