In the upcoming days (in FX University Daily), I'll be releasing an article that talks about how to protect your portfolio from the falling stock market. I hope you'll be looking for that issue in the upcoming days because I believe it could really help change the outcome of your IRAs and taxable stock brokerage accounts over the next 12 months.

However, today I want to show you the two charts that I'm looking at which tell me that "the crap is about to hit the fan" again! 

The first chart is of the Wilshire 5000 ($WLSH). Bet you can't guess how many stocks are in it? 5,000 right? You'd sure think so. As of January, it represented 4,033 stocks. So that's still one of the broadest samplings of stocks that you could get in the U.S.

I use this chart to see the "macro" 30,000 foot view of the stock market. This chart tells me how much Main Street is being effected...and right now, it doesn't look good.

In fact, on the chart below, you'll see that these 4,000+ stocks have broken below their 50 and 200 day simple moving averages and their uptrend line. You can look to the Slow Stochastics above the chart and see that another sell signal is nearing too! (Click on the chart below to enlarge it.)
