Unsecured Loans
Another large garage bill makes you wonder if it`s really worth spending any more money on the car. It has reached the time in its life when it`s started to cost you in upkeep and a newer model might prove to be less bothersome. With no savings to speak of you might be considering one of the Unsecured Loans that a price comparison site has pinpointed for your needs. You looked at the Unsecured Loans a few months ago but haven`t done anything about it since. Using the website that searches for low cost loans is easy as you simply enter the loan amount that you are interested in, the time period that you need it for and the purpose of the loan. The company will also need your employment status and some information about you. An initial assessment will take place for the best quote available and once the loan comparison site has found the best quote, they`ll be in touch with you. Think about the type of car that you could get with one of the Unsecured Loans and how much cheaper it would be to run. You could even combine a few of your other smaller loans into the new one to cut down on your monthly outgoings.


The SPX to VIX ratio indicates SPX will be much lower within a month (see last week`s article "Will the Cyclical Bull Market End in 2006" for more information on volatility ratios). However, over the next week or two, SPX may stay high, because of end of the year window dressing, new money at beginning of the year, and the start of earnings season in early January.

The first two charts below are same period daily year-to-date charts of the SPX to VIX ratio and SPX. The ratio closed above 123 Friday, which is an all-time high. Consequently, SPX is severely overbought, and on the verge of a steep pullback or correction, since the ratio is mean-reverting.

SPX rose above and held the 20-day MA throughout the recent two-month rally. However, last week, it closed below that MA. Consequently, a level just below the recent high at 1,276 is resistance, i.e. around 1,270. The next two weeks is a seasonally bullish period. So, the possibility of SPX rising to its upper weekly Bollinger Band or the upper line of the rising wedge, both around 1,285, should be taken into account.

Major support is 1,246, i.e. previous four-year high. If that level fails, then the middle of the (rising) weekly Bollinger Band, currently at 1,230, is next major support. There are many minor support levels, including several open gaps. However, the third chart suggests when SPX closes below the middle of the monthly Bollinger Band (which is also the 20-month MA), currently just above 1,180, then the cyclical bull market will be over.

Economic reports next week are: Wednesday--Consumer Confidence, and Thursday--Unemployment Claims, Existing Home Sales, Chicago PMI, and Oil Inventories. Financial markets will be closed Monday, December 26th. The final trading day of the year is Friday, December 30th. Also, markets will be closed Monday, January 2nd.

Over the first two days of January 2005, SPX fell over 30 points, from 1,218 to 1,186, and was in a general downtrend, until late January, hitting a low at 1,163. There may be a similar fall next month. However, the SPX to VIX ratio is much further above the 200-day MA, which may indicate a more severe downtrend. Consequently, SPX could fall to the (rising) 200-day MA, currently about 1,210, in a month.
