HOT SPOT CHARTING...

SEC Ends Uptick Rule

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has eliminated the so-called “uptick rule,” which prevents short-sellers from selling stock in a down market. SEC commissioners voted 5-0 to eliminate the rule, which was established in 1938 as a way to prevent disorderly selling during market downturns. Under the rule, a short sale could only be executed on an “uptick,” i.e., when a share was trading up. The idea was to prevent stocks in free fall from being forced ever lower by short-sellers.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- China's government is expected to announce imminent changes to monetary policy -- possibly including a rate hike and a lifting in the ratio of funds banks must hold in reserve against deposits -- as officials step up efforts to cool the nation's accelerating economy, said analysts.

DJIA, Update...



Chart: The Nasdaq 100 with the Philly Semiconductor Index (SOX). The chip sector could be arguably the most significant single sector affecting the Nasdaq. While the two indexes are highly correlated and generally move in tandem, be on the lookout for divergences, such as when the SOX fails to confirm a move by the Nasdaq. These divergences are often an early clue that the move may not be sustainable...
