I see a lot of panicked traders and worried investors right now. And with good cause because we’re not convinced that the turbulence in the markets isn’t set to continue for a while.
But there’s one guy we know, Jeff, who looks pretty relaxed right now. You see, Jeff’s investing approach can pinpoint stocks and profit from them no matter whether the market is soaring or nose-diving.

Question #3. For your answer to Question #1, please share what specific reason(s) you think the S&P500 will be heading the direction you chose.
“Higher” Respondent Answers:
• Technically looks like to recover from friday’s low
• More positive comments in the news.
• end of quarter window dressing by institutions
• Unknown Mueller report is now known
• Correction
• Big impulse down, moderate + pullback.
“Lower” Respondent Answers:
• Pullback due to political/economic concerns
• technical.
• End of month rotation will cause the S & P to slide down.
• The uncertainty and noise around the completion of the Mueller invstigation
• technical analysis shows me a top has occurred
• Market will take a rest.
• below spx 2800 lower
• a reversal
• The Fed, which has lots of data to study, knows that they won’t raise rates this year, because they are confident that the economy is in a slowing phase. Also, the S&P chart looks like a triple top.
• After hitting the high of 2860 on S&P which was a known strong resistance point, the rally appears to have temporarily faded. It broke down through support at 2818, and is close to the next resistance of 2800. If it does not go up from here, we can expect the market to roll over here.
• Downside correction that started last week will continue.
• quiet period for buybacks weak internals support broken window dressing a difficult task
• Fridays drop
• It completed a reversal pattern on friday + fundamental factors like a slowing world economy.
• Engulfing at previous level of resistance.
• possible lower high on weekly chart
• The children will come in for lunch and not like what they are being served.
