Good morning. Happy Tuesday. Happy Election Day. <\/span>
\n The Asian\/Pacific<\/strong> markets closed with a lean to the upside. Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea and Australia did well while Taiwan and Singapore were weak. Europe, Africa and the Middle East<\/strong> are currently mixed. The UAE, Russia and Greece are up; Turkey, South Africa, Spain, Belgium and Austria are down. Futures in the States<\/strong> point towards a down open for the cash market. <\/span>

\n List of Indexes and ETFs – <\/strong> here<\/a>
\n—————<\/span>
\n The dollar is down. Oil is down; copper is up. Gold and silver are up. Bonds are up. <\/span>
\n It’s Election Day. News trumps the charts. The S&P can gap up or down 100 tomorrow. If you’re holding long term positions, fine. But having exposure to short term trades feels more like gambling than trading. Then there’s a FOMC meeting Thursday. Newbies should sit this out. There’s no reason to be aggressive when a sudden move in either direction can happen at any time. <\/span>
