By: Profit Confidential The decline in stocks should not be a surprise given that the stock indices were unable to break or hold above some topping resistance on the charts. The failure to break higher was a red flag. There are numerous technical breaks to the downside on Wednesday, with all four of our key stock indices turning negative this year. The NASDAQ and Russell 2000 are trading below their respective 50- day moving average (MA) and 200-day MA. The DOW is below the 200-day MA, but holding just above the 50-day MA. The S&P 500 is holding precariously around its 50-day MA. I feel that the recent failures to break above the chart tops for the various indices were bearish.

In addition to the economic growth concerns, the lack of job creation will continue to be a critical factor going forward into 2011 that could impact the rate of economic renewal. There were about 2.9 million jobs available in June, according to the Labor Department. Consider that there are over 14 million workers looking for jobs at the same time, it does not look promising for the unemployed. And, until we see a pick-up in jobs, consumer spending and GDP will be impacted. Further on the corporate front, tech bellwether Cisco Systems, Inc.
