MyTrendTimer : Nasdaq Composite Index analysis of August 22, 2007
Weekly Comment about this asset/index
Stocks continue to shake, led by losses in financial companies, as worries about spillover from the subprime mortgage market lingered despite the Federal Reserve's surprise discount rate cut on last Friday. The U.S. central bank's emergency move to stabilize credit markets followed sharp declines in world stock markets in recent weeks as problems in the risky U.S. subprime mortgage sector spread to other markets. The Fed took this dramatic step to combat the squeeze on liquidity last week. When banks became unwilling to lend funds, even to creditworthy investors, the Fed cut its discount rate by half a percentage point to 5.75 percent and extended its loan period to 30 days, from one day previously. The mytrendtimer.com signal is getting lower again this week. Trend timing show its limits : how whould you modelize a central bank/fed surprise rate cut ? Sell signal is really close.
