Got a late start in trading today due to a long distance phone call and personal chat. In addition, later in the afternoon trading session the power in the neighborhood went dead and my ups didn't kick in. Simply, the low points due to very little trading today on a big trend day that produce a buy signal soon after 0930am est when Emini ES had its WRB in divergence with one of it's earlier WRB's.

Also, I strongly believe that profitable trading involves more than just trade signals and that's why most traders fail because they put all their efforts in trade signals while ignoring the impact on their trading results via market experience, discipline, money management, team collaboration, proper trading enviornment (home or office), market psychology, trader psychology (trading habits/routine and personal lifestyle). If you don't understand this perspective...please ask questions here at the forum for more info or you can tweet me on twitter @wrbtrader.

Dow Surges To 13-Month High
Signs of continued global recovery and talk about deals boost to investor confidence. Dow gains 200 points; Nasdaq and S&P 500 jump 2%.
By Julianne Pepitone, CNNMoney.com staff reporter
Last Updated: November 9, 2009: 5:55 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks rallied Monday, with the Dow industrials surging to a 13-month high, as investor optimism gained momentum.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) soared 204 points, or 2%, to close at 10,226.94 -- its highest level since Oct. 3, 2008.

The gains were broad-based, with all but 1 of the 30 components in the blue-chip index closing higher. Financial and commodity-related shares led the advance.

The S&P 500 (SPX) gained 24 points, or 2.2%, to settle at 1,093.07 and the Nasdaq composite (COMP) rose 42 points, or 2%, to close at 2,154.06.

Stocks rallied right out of the gate Monday after the Group of 20 said over the weekend that it would keep economic stimulus in place.

With little news on tap for this week, "psychological factors and technical levels are driving 70%-80% of this market," said Financial Enhancement Group analyst Joe Clark.

"The market does create its own psychology," he added. "You would never go to the grocery store and pay a higher price because someone else did, but that's what happens in stocks -- the momentum that's happening today after G-20."

Finance ministers of the G-20 met over the weekend and pledged to continue government aid. The dollar fell sharply against the euro and British pound, while commodities and commodity-linked stocks rose.

In "a bit of a dead week" in terms of economic reports, investors will take their cues from other news events, Clark said.

"People are reading the news and pondering all of it," Clark said. "Some stories might be enough for a quick boost, but as far as overall recovery most people are saying, 'We'll believe it when we see it.'"

Oil, gold and the dollar. U.S. oil for December delivery rose $2 to settle at $79.43 a barrel, after sinking almost 3% on Friday's mostly negative labor market report.

COMEX gold for December delivery rose to an intraday record of $1,109.90 Monday before it pared gains to settle up $5.70 at $1,101.40 per ounce.

"The story's all about gold and the dollar," said Charles Smith, chief investment officer at Fort Pitt Capital Group.

With the dollar back at $1.50 against the euro for the first time in a few weeks, "the dollar scare has started again, with people piling into gold," Smith said. "I don't believe inflation is a valid concern, but that's what's moving investors."

Stocks had bounced back last week, with the Dow reclaiming the 10,000 mark. So far in 2009, the Dow is up about 15% and the Nasdaq composite has soared 35%.

S&P and technical trading. Financial Enhancement analyst Clark said more investors have "moved into the technical trading world."

Clark said professional investors had been holding out for the S&P 500 to cross 1,060, viewing the level as a signal it was safe to re-enter the market.

Still others are holding out for when the S&P crosses 1,100 and remains steady above that mark, he said.

"There are people on the sideline viewing this as an opportunity to get in," Clark said. "Personally, I'll be be happy when I see the S&P holding above 1,100 -- even though it's psychological rather than technical."

Eyeing corporate deals. With no significant economic indicators on Monday's docket, investors focused on corporate news, particularly talk about deals -- possible and completed.

Kraft (KFT, Fortune 500) launched a $16.3 billion hostile takeover bid Monday for British candymaker Cadbury after the deadline for the initial bid passed without a deal. Cadbury rejected Kraft's initial $16.7 billion offer in early September and again turned it down.

Comcast (CMCSA, Fortune 500) and GE (GE, Fortune 500) have reportedly agreed on the worth of NBC Universal. The agreement is a major hurdle cleared for Comcast as it aims to gain control of NBC Universal.

Northrop Grumman (NOC, Fortune 500) has sold its consulting arm to two private equity firms. The $1.65 billion deal was announced Sunday.

"Most of these deals have been viewed as positive for the market," said Paul Radeke, wealth advisor at KDV Wealth Management. "It's a view of consolidating domestic opportunity, rather than the transfer of American wealth to the international market."

World markets and bonds: Asian shares closed higher, with Japan's Nikkei adding a modest 0.2% and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong jumping 1.7%.

Major European indexes closed almost 2% higher, with the German DAX leading the way at a 2.4% gain.

Bond prices were mostly lower, with the 10-year note holding modest gains, as the government began selling $81 billion worth of debt this week in a quarterly refunding.

Treasury auctioned $40 billion in 3-year notes Monday, with $25 billion in 10-year notes and $16 billion in 30-year bonds being offered later in the week.

Market breadth was positive. On the New York Stock Exchange, winners topped losers by five to one on volume of 909 million shares. On the Nasdaq, advancers topped decliners almost two to one on volume of 1.2 billion shares.

4:20 pm : Market participants responded to a sharp drop by the U.S. dollar with a broad-based buying effort that helped stocks make heady gains and finish at session highs. In fact, the Dow Jones Industrial Average logged its best closing level in 52 weeks.

News that members of the G-20 and Treasury Secretary Geithner maintain the view that economic stimulus should not yet be withdrawn led to heavy selling against the U.S. dollar and drove the Dollar Index back to 2009 lows. It spent the entire session trading with a loss of roughly 1.0%.

Weakness in the greenback was greeted with a concerted buying effort that gave stocks broad-based gains. Within the S&P 500, 95% of its components logged a gain and gave the broad market index its sixth straight gain. Meanwhile, Kraft (KFT 26.53, -0.25) was the only listing in the 30-member Dow that failed to put together a gain. Its shares were sent lower after the food giant failed to take over Cadbury Schweppes (CBY 50.71, +0.21) with a cash and stock offer that valued the confectioner at some 9.8 billion British pounds.

Strength among diversified banks (+4.3%) and life and health insurers (+4.7%) helped the financial sector finish the session 3.6% higher and overtake materials as the session's best performing sector.

Materials stocks had sported the best gains for most of the session. The sector was helped along by broader market support and interest in basic materials and commodities amid the dollar's decline. The sector finished with a 3.2% gain as buyers showed favor for steel stocks (4.5%) and diversified metals and mining stocks (4.6%).

As for individual commodities, gold prices hit a new all time high of $1111.70 per ounce before pulling back a bit to settle pit trade with a 0.5% gain at $1101.40 per ounce. Meanwhile, buying in crude futures drove oil prices above $80 per barrel, but some momentum was lost so that contracts closed with oil priced at $79.43 per barrel, up 2.6%.

Amid a lack of major earnings announcements and a vacant economic calendar, recaps of the G-20's weekend meeting made up most of the headlines this session. However, health care reform has come back into sharper focus since the House of Representatives passed new health care legislation during the weekend. That turns the focus of industry watchers to the Senate.

Though market participants showed an increased interest in risk by chasing stocks, Treasuries had a reasonably solid session. As such, the benchmark 10-year Note climbed some six ticks. Its gain was solidified after results from a $40 billion auction of 3-year Notes produced a yield of 1.40% and a bid-to-cover ratio of 3.3.

Advancing Sectors: Financials (+3.6%), Materials (+3.2%), Industrials (+2.5%), Telecom (+2.3%), Consumer Discretionary (+2.2%), Tech (+2.2%), Utilities (+1.7%), Health Care (+1.7%), Energy (+1.5%), Consumer Staples (+1.5%)
Declining Sectors: (None)DJ30 +203.52 NASDAQ +41.62 NQ100 +2.2% R2K +2.1% SP400 +2.4% SP500 +23.78 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1860/2.02 bln/812 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2541/1.24 bln/496

3:30 pm : Stocks continue to trade near their best levels of the session. Commodities have also enjoyed healthy gains this session at the dollar index fell to lows not seen since August of 2008. Although the energy and materials sectors have been strong, it is the financial sector, up 3.3%, posting the strongest gains.

December gold futures hit a new all time high this session at $1111.70 per ounce. Both precious metals pulled back in the afternoon, however. December gold futures settled at $1101.40 per ounce, up 0.5%. Silver futures settled up 0.6% at $17.48 per ounce after hitting a session high at $17.65 per ounce. Shares of Hecla Mining (HL 5.47 +0.22) are surging this session as precious metals continue to trade with strength. The stock hit a new 52-week high at $5.67 earlier in the session.

Energy futures also had a strong session; they rose 1.2% as a whole. Natural gas lagged its counterparts as it finished just 1.3% higher at $4.65 per contract. Crude oil futures were especially strong. After hitting a session high at $80.19 per barrel, however, the December crude oil futures pulled back below the $80 level to close at $79.43 per barrel, up 2.6%.DJ30 +187.88 NASDAQ +36.62 SP500 +21.98 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1770/1.61 bln/886 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2504/825 mln/516

3:00 pm : Heading into the final hour of trade, the major averages continue to trend higher with the S&P 500 now up more than 2%. Every major sector is currently in the green for the session.

The dollar is still noteably weak, off by more than 1%. Gold, meanwhile, continues its surge higher, up 0.7% today, now over $1,103/ounce.DJ30 +191.2 NASDAQ +37.9 SP500 +21.6 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1813/1462.3/843 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2510/745.2/510

2:30 pm : Stocks continue to put in healthy gains, although the major averages have moved in a sideways fashion over the past hour. One sector that is showing particular strength today is the casino and gaming space, bolstered by Wynn Resort's (WYNN 63.40 +3.67) news before the open that it declared a special cash dividend of $4/share. Wynn's peers, MGM (MGM 10.35 +0.60) and Las Vegas Sands (LVS 16.65 +1.30) are also putting in solid gains.DJ30 +180.7 NASDAQ +34.9 SP500 +20.1 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1797/1351/846 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2512/688.5/499

2:00 pm : Despite a current 2.9% gain in oil prices to $79.70 per barrel, transportation and airline stocks are faring quite well as buyers show a broad taste for stocks. That has helped lift the Amex Airline Index to a 1.4% gain and the Dow Jones Transportation Index to a 1.5% gain.

Meanwhile, the broader market also continues to benefit from a concerted buying effort among participants. In turn, the S&P 500 has moved another leg higher to fresh session highs.DJ30 +172.23 NASDAQ +32.85 SP500 +19.05 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1817/1.23 bln/822 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2485/625 mln/519

1:30 pm : Stocks have steadied their ascent, but continue to trade near session highs with broad-based gains. The broad-based advance has given a gain of at least 1% to each of the 10 major sectors in the S&P 500.

Amid the interest in equities, Treasuries are showing resilience. The benchmark 10-year Note is up eight ticks, which marks a session high for the benchmark Note. Its gains have been extended in the minutes following the release of results from a $40 billion auction of 3-year Notes. The auction produced a yield of 1.40% for the 3-year Note and a bid-to-cover ratio of 3.3.DJ30 +153.19 NASDAQ +31.71 SP500 +17.58 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1812/1.14 bln/822 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2447/572 mln/530

1:00 pm : Members of the G-20 and Treasury Secretary Geithner continue to hold the view that economic stimulus should not yet be withdrawn, which has led to considerable weakness in the U.S. dollar and taken the Dollar Index down 1.0%. The sharp slide by the greenback has bolstered buying in both stocks and commodities.

In turn, gains are most impressive among materials stocks. The sector is up 2.7% as steel stocks spike 4.3% and diversified metals and mining stocks climb 4.8%. Gold stocks are up 3.7% and the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD 108.41, +0.98) made its way to a fresh 52-week high; that's partly owed to a rise in the price of gold to new record highs. Gold was last quoted at $1106 per ounce, up 0.9%, but had been as high as $1111.70 per ounce.

The dollar's drop has also provided a considerable lift to oil prices. Crude contracts are pricing oil 3.4% higher at $80.05 per barrel. That, along with positive sentiment in the broader market, has energy stocks up 1.3%.

Thanks to this session's upbeat tone, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has made its way to new 2009 highs. It is now up roughly 16% year-to-date. Such a feat has come on the back of broad-based buying.

Kraft (KFT 26.45, -0.33) is one of only a handful of Dow components currently trading lower. The food giant attempted to make a hostile take over bid for Cadbury Schweppes (CBY 50.84, +0.34) that used cash and stock to value the confectioner at some 9.8 billion British pounds. Cadbury rejected the offer, though.

There haven't been any other major corporate announcements, earnings results, or economic data for participants to trade on this session. However, many are now watching to see what will follow passed health care legislation from the House of Representatives over the weekend. Health care stocks are up a solid 1.0%, but lag the broader market by a bit.

Coming up shortly are the results from an auction of 3-year Treasuries. The benchmark 10-year Note has been trading just a few ticks higher ahead of the announcement and the 2-year Note has been just one or two ticks.DJ30 +153.42 NASDAQ +30.88 SP500 +17.32 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1812/1.06 bln/801 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2443/528 mln/520

12:30 pm : Less than 10% of the companies listed in the S&P 500 are trading with losses. Primary weakness is centered on education services stocks like DeVry (DV 52.93, -2.45) and Apollo Group (APOL 54.39, -1.60). The pair has been weighed down by a negative Barron's report that highlighted some of the ails facing for-profit education providers.

Meanwhile, only two Dow components are in the red. This session's dogs are Kraft (KFT 26.47, -0.31) and Cisco Systems (CSCO 23.77, -0.05). Kraft has made headlines by making a hostile cash and stock takeover bid for confectioner Cadbury (CBY 50.83, +0.33), only to be rebuffed. Cisco's primary headline of the session has been its announcement of a Senior Unsecured Notes offering.DJ30 +152.28 NASDAQ +30.39 SP500 +17.13 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1784/944 mln/805 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2437/482 mln/504

12:00 pm : Financial stocks have added to earlier gains so that they now sport an impressive 2.1% gain. That's second only to materials, which remains up 2.7%.

Strength among financials stems from sharp gains in consumer finance stocks, which are up 4.7% as Discover Financial (DFS 15.31, +0.78) and Capital One (COF 39.58, +1.91) surge to gains in excess of 5%.

Thrifts and mortgage players are lagging in the financial sector, however. They are down 0.6% at the moment.DJ30 +146.77 NASDAQ +30.02 SP500 +16.52 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1793/861 mln/786 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2427/438 mln/512

11:30 am : Retailers are having their third consecutive session of strong gains. As a group, they are up 1.6% this session, but up more than 5% since the close of trade last Wednesday.

Apparel retailer Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF 37.64, +2.63) is having an exceptionally strong session. The company was upgraded by analysts at Credit Suisse, but Reuters reported that analysts at Goldman Sachs also added the stock to its Conviction Buy List.

However, fellow apparel retailer Gap (GPS 22.83, -0.20) is lagging. The stock is trading with a loss after being hit with a downgrade by analysts at Barclays.DJ30 +147.29 NASDAQ +29.38 SP500 +16.20 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1806/760 mln/731 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2420/386 mln/487

11:00 am : The Dow and S&P 500 have steadily made their way higher, which has left the Dow at a fresh high for 2009 and the S&P 500 at its best level in two weeks.

Materials stocks continue to make the best gains this session. The sector is up 2.4% as gold stocks gain 2.8%, steel stocks surge 3.8%, and diversified metals and miners make their way 4.6% higher.

Though they are still up markedly, defensive sectors have been lagging somewhat. As such, consumer staples and utilities are both up 0.7%, while health care is up 0.8% and telecom is up 0.9%.DJ30 +130.14 NASDAQ +30.65 SP500 +14.59 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1846/625 mln/679 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2424/316 mln/459

10:35 am : The stock market opened higher and has extended gains in recent trading activity, pushing to fresh highs again, while the US Dollar Index continues to extend loss in early morning trade. On the dollar's weakness gold pushed to new all-time highs of $1111.70 per ounce.

December crude oil traded higher overnight and extended gains at the open of pit trading, pushing to recent session highs of $79.38 per barrel. In recent activity, crude is 2.2% higher at $79.07 per barrel.

December natural gas also traded higher overnight, but has been in a tight range for the majority of its session, just under its day's high of $17.78 per MMBtu. Right near the open, however, natural gas fell to morning lows of $4.473 per MMBtu and has since pushed back near the unchanged line. Natural gas is currently 0.2% lower at $4.587 per MMBtu.

Weakness in the US Dollar Index is also providing price support to precious metals this morning, keeping December gold under is new all-time high of 1111.70 per ounce and December silver just under its morning high of $17.78 per ounce, respectively. Currently, gold is 1% higher at $1106.20 per ounce, while silver is 1.6% higher at $17.655 per ounce.DJ30 +112.08 NASDAQ +27.72 SP500 +12.84 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1842/461.5 mln/621 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2407/235.4 mln/423

10:00 am : Gains remain robust among the major indices. The Nasdaq Composite does have a bit of a lead over its counterparts, though. That stems largely from strength among large-cap tech issues, which have actually driven the Nasdaq 100 to an even stronger gain of 1.3%.

However, even that isn't as strong as the gains currently sported by small- and mid-cap stocks. Both groups have the Russell 2000 and S&P 400 each up 1.6%.

Early movers: Trading up -- EWBC +44.7%, CGEN +19.3%, RCON +14.5%, REV +13%, RSH +12.7%, ARIA +10.6%, HERO +9.1%, NCS +8.4%, LNG +8.1%, SAY +8%, TTI +8%, PETD +7.9%; Trading down -- CHDX -27.2%, CHNG -18.7%, VSR -14.4%, HOGS -8.7%, BKD -7%, TBSI -7%, SRZ -6.3%, EDZ -6.2%, BEAT -6.1%DJ30 +88.80 NASDAQ +24.90 SP500 +10.55 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1784/270 mln/555 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2332/148 mln/419

09:45 am : Stocks are sporting solid gains in the early going. The move has been broad based, as well. As such, all 10 major sectors in the S&P 500 are in positive ground.

Gains are most impressive among materials stocks, which are up 1.8% as a group. The sector's relative strength stems from sharp gains by commodities amid a slumping U.S. dollar, which has dragged the Dollar Index down 1% to its lowest level in roughly two weeks.DJ30 +86.31 NASDAQ +23.67 SP500 +10.08 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1801/161 mln/466 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2312/99 mln/378

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +9.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +16.00. Weakness in the U.S. dollar currently has the Dollar Index down 1.1%, which is the sharpest slide for the greenback since late July. That dive comes in the wake of news that G-20 members maintained their view that economic stimulus should not yet be withdrawn. Treasury Secretary Geithner shared that sentiment in a report from Reuters. Geithner also made known in the report his opposition to a tax on financial transactions as a means of dampening risky behavior. With the dollar down so sharply this morning, support for commodities is particularly strong. As such, the CRB Commodity Index is up 0.8%. Gold has been a key underpinning of that gain. This morning the yellow metal hit new record highs just shy of $1112.00 per ounce; it is currently trading with a 1.1% gain at $1108.00 per ounce. Today's economic calendar is empty and there haven't been many major corporate announcements, though Cadbury Schweppes (CBRY) did reject an offer from Dow component Kraft (KFT) that values the confectioner at some 9.8 billion British pounds. Shares of KFT are up 1% to $27.05 per share ahead of the opening bell. Another round of Treasury auction results is set for this 1:00 PM ET. That's when the results of an auction of 3-year Notes hits news wires.

09:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +8.50. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +15.50. This morning's positive tone remains intact as stock and commodity futures trade higher amid a sharply lower U.S. dollar. There haven't been any major earnings announcements this morning and there aren't any major economic announcements on the day's docket. However, an auction of 3-year Treasuries is scheduled for 1:00 PM ET.

08:35 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +8.60. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +16.00. U.S. stock futures continue to receive support from an impressive buying effort in overseas markets, which has Germany's DAX up 1.6%. Its gains are broad-based as there are only three components in the 30-member index to trade lower; SAP, Fresenius, and Infineon Tech are the current losers. On the other hand, Allianz (AZ) and Siemens (SI) are trading as leaders. Separately, Dow Jones reported that German industrial production for September climbed 2.7% month-over-month. In France, the CAC is currently up 1.4%. Energy giant Total (TOT) is a primary leader in that gain, but financial issues of BNP Paribas and Societe Generale are also providing support. However, fellow financial outfit AXA (AXA) is a primary laggard amid news that it plans to launch a rights issue in order to raise funds for potential acquisitions. In Britain, the FTSE is up 1.3%. Energy and financial stocks are also among its primary leaders. As such, BP PLC (BP) and HSBC (HBC) are making some of the best gains. Gains by financials follow reports that Britain urged world governments to consider a levy on banks to fund future bailouts. According to Reuters, though, there was little sign of such a consensus. In other news, Kraft (KFT) has entered a bid for Cadbury Schweppes (CBRY) that values the confectioner at 9.8 billion British pounds, according to Dow Jones. News of the offer has caused shares of Cadbury to surrender early gains and to trade with a loss. In Asia, the MSCI Asia Pacific Index closed 1.0% higher, but Japan's settled with a much more modest gain of 0.2%. Mitsui Sumitomo Group Holdings jumped after indicating that it would handily beat its earlier profit forecasts. Kubota surged amid hopes that China's economy will continue to post good growth data later this week. Bank shares weighed on trade, however. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng closed 1.7% higher. Its banks led gains. As such, ICBC climbed to its highest close in roughly two years. Meanwhile, mainland China's Shanghai Composite advanced 0.4%.

08:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +9.90. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +16.50. Solid gains by overseas markets and a sharp drop by the U.S. dollar have sent U.S. stock futures considerably higher. The downturn by the greenback comes in the wake of a weekend G-20 meeting, which was highlighted by representatives keeping intact their opinion that stimulus needs to be maintained. Nonetheless, the dollar's drop has also spurred buying in commodities futures. As such, gold contracts are pricing the yellow metal at $1110 per ounce, up 1.3%, while crude contracts are pricing oil at $78.50 per barrel, up 1.4%.

06:56 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +8.90. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +16.00.

06:56 am : Nikkei...9808.99...+19.60...+0.20%. Hang Seng...22207.55...+377.80...+1.70%.

06:56 am : FTSE...5218.70...+76.00...+1.50%. DAX...5579.85...+91.90...+1.70%.
