Person's Proprietary Signal, the parabolic sar, the macd -- all moved to the bear side today. Only five days earlier the pps had turned bullish, two days the psar and one day the macd.
Oh, well. This illustrates yet again the Iron Rule of Technical Signals: They are always correct, except when they are not.
The price move was nowhere near as reversy: A 3% gap down at the open from the prior day's close, but it reversed and an hour before the close showed a net intraday rise. Today's low has stayed above the recent swing lows, just as the recent swing high was lower that it's predecessor.
However, the gap did pierce the 20-day simple moving average, a bearish sign.
All in all, the surprise means that NLY keeps on trucking the way it has for the couple of months, on a sideways romp between $16.90 and $18.40.
The very-short-term, 133-tick chart shows that all of the decline happened in after-hours trading last night, and today's moves were mainly sideways, with $17.40 and $17.60 the rough bounds.
On the Person's chart, the decline put the price solidly at the midline, $17.36, from which it rebounded.

Bottom line: NLY is part of my portfolio, for the high, 15%+ yield. In an earlier posting, I discussed the dividend play in detail, including my rules I when I would get out.
OK. The credit bubble burst. Housing, burst. Shockwaves reverberated. Markets collapsed. What lies ahead as we reemerge from the wreckage.
