SP500 -9.9%, the most since 2002, 5th straight montly decline, the most since 1990.

THU: The 2 month rally in retail (RTH); transports (DJTA) and builders (HGX) could be over and we are primed for a BIG slide.

However, there may be one more pop to the upside in the tank. Watch em closely for clues
.

MON: Hitting resistance at 1350, perhaps a dip then surge to test major resistance at 1400.

We expect month & quarter fund inflow and sector rotation to generate a bounce to SP500 1380 & NDX 1885.

Then keep your eyes peeled to the sky, an overhead hoist could snap and it might be a "name brand" that pancakes this dead man walkin.

Often wrong, but never in doubt, this is the Nattering Naybob and you're not.
