Today's shooting star signal in the Dow and transportation index illustrates the bears starting to take control. A lower open in the Dow tomorrow would confirm the trend has reversed. This does not necessarily mean a full-scale reversal, but the prospects of profit-taking back to the T line.

Remember the common sense logic of the Japanese rice traders. Where do most people buy? Exuberantly at the top!

Short positions can be added to the portfolio upon weakness in the market indexes tomorrow.
