The Detailed Short Wave for 2010
Toy Story 3 saw a 7% drop in the DOW over 2 weeks. The market reversed with Twilight Saga: Eclipse, with a strong 5% rebound and a follow up gain by Inception for three weeks at 5.3%. The Other Guys was no joke, with the DOW dropping over 3% with another down week with The Expendables.. With light volumes and summer volatility, it may take a while to see if the bear market direction which started with The Nightmare on Wall (Elm) Street follows through to confirm a new Long Wave direction. We are in a volatile trading range awaiting a major breakout, probably to the down side based on movie mood sentiment..
