STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips to the short side today at SPX 5859 at munchtime. It is all about copper now and going forward.

CPER 29.38 is the bull/bear line in the sand and at the end of the session price comes up to, wait for it, wait a bit longer, 29.37 settling at 29.36. As copper goes, so goes the US stock market.

Bulls need CPER above 29.38 to keep the stock market steady and begin fighting back to regain control.

Bears need to keep copper in their camp and at the same time pulling UTIL below 1023, NYA below 19455, and/or VIX above 22.16. You can use these three parameters as a gauge on the potential selling event developing. If 1 of the 3 turn bearish, stocks will remains soggy and begin weakening further. If 2 of the 3 turn bearish, stocks will be falling in a steady machine-driven selloff. If all 3 turn bearish, the stock market is screwed and will be falling like a rock and if UTIL then loses 1010, it is over; a stock market crash is likely. It's fun.

Thus, copper is the big shot in Big Town, baby, please let me come back home, holding all the cards for the stock market right now. Watch copper futures Sunday evening and it will tell you the direction ahead. Copper, utilities, the NYA index and volatility are all that matter.

On the last trade, the stock market recovers big off the early April lows. The benchmark SPX is now back to flat on the year. The quant program gains +12% on the last trade and is now up +17% on the year. The actual trading generated by Keybot the Quant gains +12% on the last trade and is now up a big +21% on the year that is not even one-half over. The quant's actual trading is outperforming the benchmark S&P 500 by 21 percentage points so far this year. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Keybot the Quant exits SPY and enters SDS now back into the 2x leveraged ETF's since the whipsaw timer has expired. Matthew Sweet in the MTV days. Get well soon. Sick of Myself.
