Charles Nenner Research: Danger Of Deflation Is Real
.jpg)
We still feel that equity markets are flirting with deflation, and that commodities are continuing in a bear market. Supply has been growing faster than demand—and this is only partly the fault of the Federal Reserve.
Interest rates are close to zero, leading to fear of deflation. Therefore, under classic economic theory, prices either have to decline or output has to contract or both. Most economists today, however, believe that supply will create demand. (more)

To review Ixia’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of XXIA (Ixia) below with my added notations:
XXIA has been trading mostly sideways for the last 3 months. Over that period of time, the stock has formed a clear resistance at $13.50 (purple), which had also been a prior support. In addition, the stock has created a strong level of support at $12 (green). At some point the stock will have to break one of those two levels.
The Tale of the Tape: XIA has identifiable levels of support and resistance. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $12, or on a solid close above $13.50. The ideal short opportunities would be on either a break below $12 or on a rally up to $13.50.
