What I love about the markets is that unlike most politicians, they don't lie.
Is reality finally beginning to settle into the markets?
Things aren't going to get better right away. The magnitude of the problem in Europe and Spain's failure today to sell �3.5 billion of notes, underscores just how fragile the Euro economic system is right now. Europe is a big market for US and Asian products. If Europe is weak, it can't help but spread to other parts of the world.
As an example, one only has to look at Citigroup (symbol C) to know that things are not good.
We do not expect things to get better any time soon. If you look at a chart of capitalism over the last 100 years, you get a sense of how these longer-term economic cycles work. It is going to take us years, not months, to get these economic problems worked out.
Every stock market in Europe is down for the year, in some cases in double digits. France is down 18% and the German DAX is down 13%. At the moment, the US indices are pretty much flat for the year with the exception of the DOW, which is up approximately 4%. With the volatility that we are seeing, this can change quite rapidly and we want to pay close attention to what our Trade Triangles are telling us.
Now, let's go to the charts and the video and see how we can create and maintain your wealth in 2011.

S&P 500 INDEX
��������-
OUR VIEW: Beginning to roll over?
Combined Strength of Trend Score = -55
The S&P 500 index continues to look somewhat heavy to us and we would view a close below $1240 as further evidence of weakness in this market. The key level to look for on a close-only basis is the $1218 level. With a Chart Analysis Score of -55 we continue to be stuck in a trading range. Intermediate traders should be on the sidelines waiting for a new Trade Triangle short signal. Long-term traders should either be in cash or continue to hold short positions in! this in dex.

SILVER (SPOT)
��������-
OUR VIEW: Trading Range
Combined Strength of Trend Score = -55
No change in our comments. The spot silver market continues to be trapped in limbo and seems unable to move either higher or lower. That is reflected in the current market action, which is about unchanged for the week. This market remains in a broad trading range bound by $33.50 an ounce on the downside and $35.50 an ounce on the upside. With our Chart Analysis Score reading +55, we seen no clear-cut trend at the moment for this metal. Generally speaking, the major trend for silver continues to be negative based on our monthly Trade Triangle, and the weekly Trade Triangle remains in conflict. Long-term traders should continue to hold short positions in silver with appropriate stops.

GOLD (SPOT)
��������-
OUR VIEW: Resistance at $1,800
Combined Strength of Trend Score = +85
For the past ten days, the spot gold market has been moving sideways and is trapped in a trading range. For the moment, the $1800 level is proving to be a formidable resistance area for spot gold. Our Chart Analysis Score remains intact, with a +85 reading indicating that this market is in strong hands. Gold indicates to us to be concerned about what is happening in Europe and the financial markets. Long-term and intermediate-term trends remain positive for this precious metal. Intermediate and long-term traders should maintain long positions with the appropriate money management stops in place.

COPPER (DECEMBER)
��������-
OUR VIEW: Resistance at $3.60
Combined Strength of Trend Score = -75
The ! weekly T rade Triangle remains positive and we expect that this indicator will turn negative again. Copper generally reflects economic conditions, and as such is influenced by equity prices. With a Chart Analysis Score of -75 this metal could be emerging from its trading range into a full blown bear market. Generally speaking, the major trend for this metal continue to be negative while the intermediate trend is in conflict. Long-term traders should continue to hold short positions in copper with appropriate stops.

CRUDE OIL (DECEMBER)
��������-
OUR VIEW: Resistance at $100 a barrel
Combined Strength of Trend Score = +70
A move in the crude oil market below yesterday's low of 97.19 will give this market a little more downside momentum. For the past three days, this market has flirted with the $100 a barrel resistance area. This is a formidable psychological barrier and we expect that it might be tested again. With a Chart Analysis Score of +70 this market may be trying to move out of its broad trading range.
The $100 level represents a 61.8% retracement of the entire down move starting from the highs seen earlier this year in April. Intermediate term traders should be on the sidelines. Long-term traders should continue to be short the crude oil market.See today's Crude Oil Video Here.

DOLLAR INDEX
��������-
OUR VIEW: Near-term resistance at $78.50
Combined Strength of Trend Score = +90
We would view a close today over the $78 level as a positive for this index. With a +90 Chart Analysis Score, the dollar index is in a strong upward trend. We believe the $76.5 level will act as good support for this index. We are looking for a test of the $79.50 �C $80.00 levels. Our longer-term monthly Trade Triangle remains in a positive mode and our intermediate term weekly Trade Triangle turned positive last week. Long-term and intermediate term traders should maintain long positions with the appropriate stops in place.

REUTERS/JEFFERIES CRB COMMODITY INDEX
��������-
OUR VIEW: Trading Range
Combined Strength of Trend Score = +70
In the very near term, this index has resistance starting at the $320 level and extending to $321. Like many of the other markets we are tracking, the CRB index is in a trading range with a Chart Analysis Score of +70. Resistance is evident at the $325 level and support comes in around the $315 area. Look for these levels to contain the market for the balance of the week. Our longer-term Trade Triangle remains negative for this index. Intermediate term traders should be on the sidelines. Long-Term traders should maintain short positions with the appropriate money management stops in place.
