Special Bulletin: August 11th, 2017

The market continues to be under a 2nd stage SELL signal (2nd of a possible 3) and is exhibiting increasing signs of internal broad market deterioration. The risk level in the market has increased significantly as historical technical-measurements of the markets overall health are sending serious warning signs. We stand on the verge of changing our official Current Market Outlook to a “Red” light. The price & volume action in the major indexes this coming week

The stock market came under heavy selling pressure today and experienced another “Distribution Day”. (A term for a day of professional selling) Key price support levels were also violated on the Nasdaq and S&P500 and were accompanied with an increase in trading volume. We stated in our post yesterday that “a door has opened for possible selling by market participants”. Today “they” indeed entered through it and sold en masse. This action constitutes a second

Special Bulletin: August 9th, 2017 (3:05pm Update) 

The market flashed a first stage sell signal yesterday. Please note that this signal was only the first of 3 possible sell signal stages. Thus, it is NOT a “sell everything now” signal, but rather a warning that certain conditions are turning negative. View it as a door has opened for possible selling by market participants, and we are now watching intently to see if “they” enter through it. We believe the time for a few

Congrats on 22,000! Record highs continue to be reached by the popular indexes and give President Trump something positive to Tweet about. Whether or not we feel he deserves credit for the markets advance, optimism abounds unlike what we’ve seen in several years. Even though there are several issues facing the markets right now (N.Korea, Congressional stall, higher interest rates, etc.), it continues to climb a “wall of worry”. As we said this June and last year

The stock markets long-term uptrend remains in place as historic new highs by the major market indexes were reached within the last few weeks. However, due to very recent uncharacteristic weakness, in particular in the Nasdaq, the markets uptrend has come under pressure and is now in jeopardy. At this juncture, it is wise to be proactive to protect some gains by booking partial or whole profits in certain holdings, and to prepare an exit strategy (plan for raising cash) for

The markets continue to reach all-time highs thanks to T.I.N.A.  With Certificate of Deposit rates near historic lows, Real Estate facing tighter standards, Commodities being leveraged & too risky and Bond prices rather expensive, the Stock Market is benefiting from the fact that There Is No Alternative (T.I.N.A.) for investors who are seeking growth for their assets. There is recent good news, along with some bad news, for equity investors. The good news is that the rare technical “sell” signal from

Even as the market rests only fractionally off of all-time price highs, risk levels have persisted over the past 2 weeks and have even increased today. At the risk of getting too technical and confusing our frequent readers, here’s some of what we see. One primary area of concern is that the rare (and often early) technical sell signal that was flashed on May 17th has since then twice come within 1 day of being negated, but

The Nasdaq and S&P 500 indexes scored all-time highs today. Even better, they did it with an increase in daily trading volume. This action has prompted us to upgrade our current market outlook to “yellow”. If it weren’t for the presence of certain technical indicators that are suggesting internal deterioration is happening to the markets health, our signal would be green. Many investors are wondering if last weeks severe one day drop will in hindsight

The major indexes have recovered most of the losses from last weeks harsh sell-off, but on uninspiring volume to this point and as such remain under pressure. Last weeks rare, early “1st stage sell-signal” is still in effect, however, in as few as two more days of bullish action it could be negated and end up as a false signal. Our research shows that this particular technical event has a strong history of accuracy (high 80’s %), but

Our Current Market Outlook has changed to “Market in a Correction”. Our traffic light has changed from green to red, skipping yellow altogether. Today the market suffered its worst single day decline since the Brexit in June 2016. As we pointed out in our special bulletin last night, the market was on the verge of issuing a sell signal. That signal; a rare, early “1st stage” sell signal based on a certain specific technical indicator triggering, happened
