Now more than ever I cannot stress enough the importance to leave emotion OUT of our trading. The Futures are up BIG as of 12:45 AM ET Monday Morning. We have had a lot of volatility recently.. and in the recent picture of things; the fact that the Dow Futures are up almost 300 Points really doesn't amount to much considering the big downward move we have seen. The idea here is to watch the key trigger areas as shown in tonight's update and to STAY OBJECTIVE.

The Dow Industrials lost over 18% last week, the S&P 500 index did about the same and the Nasdaq Composite Index lost over 15%. The market rally which lasted Five Years has almost been retraced completely for the Dow Industrials Index in ONE YEAR. From the all time high of October 2007 to this past Friday's low was a 44% MOVE. The lnks below are a sampling of ShepWave Updates over the past year.

ShepWave subscribers should have made a lot of money over the past year. In fact we still have 'some' short side positions; the only difference is that now we are hedging these positions a bit.
There WILL BE A RALLY... at some time. Every day we hear that a bottom is in or the market is bottoming out on television. The fact is that everytime we hear that we have hit a bottom the markets drop even further.. this has happened all year by 'most' financial pundits on television. ShepWave has maintained our positions over the past year.. selling in to strength. It has been one of the best trading years ever.... BUT, we WILL GET A RALLY. The problem is rather than trying to 'predict' a bottom WE are looking at the charts to get an accurate bottom target and even more important than that is 'Watching the Short Term Wave Action". It will be the short term wave action which will give us the 'heads up' for the REAL BUYING OPPORTUNTY. As shown in recent updates we are currently dealing with 'technicals', some of which, have never been seen in the markets before. NOW is NOT the time to be 'guessing' what the markets will do OR trying to predict market reaction to news items. Now is the time to maintain objectivity and keep LOCKING IN PROFITS.
ShepWave wil be concentrating on FINDING A BOTTOM in the coming days or weeks. Things could get tricky and we could get some even more volatile days: UP and DOWN. Don't be surprised if the Markets CLOSE temporarily due to the volatility.. but don't panic.
