Market Timing Alert: BEARISH The market has just closed as I write this, and it looks like I have a bearish signal from my NASDAQ Timing Model (Ver.10q), based on a double-top chart pattern in the NASDAQ Composite. I sold most of my stocks today in anticipation of this bearish signal. Details will follow in less than an hour in my next bulletin. The NASDAQ has been on a roll since putting in a bottom on August 12 at 1752.49. That was, in retrospect, a major bottom; and yesterday, when the NASDAQ closed at 2151.25, the highest close since January, just may have been a major top. My Timing Model is telling me that there is significant risk of this. (By the way, the last new closing high for the year was 2153.83 on January 26, almost exactly the same as yesterday's close. That coincidence, plus today's heavy selling, is what makes this a "double top".) In my experience, the "double-top" chart pattern is one to be respected. Many of the most important NASDAQ tops of the last 20 years were immediately preceded by this pattern. -KD, December 7, 2004
