Midas,

General Market, using the Dow as an indicator is short term very downtrend (yesterday's dark sky, in candlestick terms), with an overall downward trend since beginning of the year. News trumps techs and this seems to be the case because Dow techs were looking pretty good until the Stimulus Package passed.

Gold heading to 925 at this moment. KRY sp has benefitted from the recent spikes.

KRY seems to be in a holding pattern over the last few days with a slight uptrend, somewhat following an approximate 20 day SMA. Pop seems to just be someone wanting in immediately. Last couple of closings without a paint may be significant. Staying above the MA50 is working. Plus, MA50 is trending up :-)

If this were a normal (whatever normal is these days) stock, and currently KRY is acting very much as normal - as normal can be - considering the techs, it would seem things are looking pretty good to continued uptrend. But, it is Permit news that will make the big KRY sp move, and that is not any news to the folks on this board.
