The 20 month exponential moving average for the S and P is a point of concern for some analysts who believe it is the overall best indicator for bull or bear markets. The S&P 500 closed last Friday at 1,076.76. The 20-month EMA is at 1,086.66. Where will the S and P go this week? Today is not looking good so far.

With Shanghai plummeting overnight, hope nobody here was seriously long oil! Tricky times for overnight positions in some areas, but should be some nice intraday moves this week. Wish I had spotted gold's drop in time yesterday.

Today's games made me wonder if this will be the last world cup without some form of instant replay review for disputable goals! One obvious goal disallowed, and one obvious offsides leading to a goal. In both cases the game's energy was definitely affected. I do tend to believe that Germany would've won anyway, they were a much crisper and more assertive team today, helped by Klose being back to form. But Mexico was playing very well and I think they might have held their own. And those two post richocets by Mexico were oh so very close in the early stages, bold shots! I was hoping for some encouragment for Mexico with all they are going through. Hang in there Mexico!

In sports I often love the underdog, but this time around I think the higher ranked teams will play to their strengths. The Americans are ranked 14th, well ahead of Ghana (32nd) and South Korea (47th) and slightly in front of Uruguay (18th). I take the US and Uruguay to advance. Uruguay has one of the best defences out there, and the US has overcome all odds and oddity of calls.

There are plenty of other FX forums out there which are more oriented towards robots, you might have much better sucess in engaging in discussions on those venues. My impression of this forum is that many of us have studied the field deeply and prefer to use our minds--and to some, robot posts come across as spam. Just one opinion . . .
