FINAL 2012 RESULTS -- 2013 BEGINS -- STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant is long to start the new year of trading after a wild last day finish. Yesterday was the largest up day in the markets for a last day of the year in history. The fiscal cliff resolution lit a fire under the markets with semi's, copper, financials and retail are leaping into the bull camp creating the upside acceleration.  The algo is zeroed to begin 2013.

The 2012 results show the SPX Benchmark index rising from 1258 to 1426, a gain of 13.4%.  Keybot's algorithm program gained 22.3%, beating the Benchmark, and the actual trading return (which accounts for mechanical deficiencies, commissions and other costs and fees) gained 20.0%. 2012 was another successful year for Keybot the Quant in a very tricky trading environment.

For Wednesday trading, the market bears need to see RTH 43.55 to reestablish the downside. Barring this, the markets will continue sideways to sideways up. For the SPX starting the new year at 1426, the bulls only need to touch 1427 after the opening bell and this will create an upside acceleration.  The bears are simply trying to stop the upside momo by pushing RTH under 43.55. The House reconvenes today, New Year's Day, at noon time to vote on the fiscal cliff resolution.
