Good Evening, Just a quick note to start. We will be updating our phone apps for the I Phone and Android Operating systems. Here are the links to download yours!

Markets dropped again today based on more poor earnings reports and speculation that world banks won’t provide further stimulus. That latter issue also caused a sell off in bonds with a corresponding rise in yields.

 

Stocks dip as earnings pour in, consumer discretionary lags 

 

The days action left us with the following signals: C-Neutral, S-Neutral, I-Neutral, F-Sell. We are currently invested at 100/S. Our allocation is now -0.44% on the year not including the days results. Here are the latest posted results:

Now lets take a look at the charts. All signals are annotated with green circles. If you click on the charts they will become larger.
C Fund:
c-fund
S Fund:
s-fund
I Fund:
i-fund
F Fund: The F Fund generated and overall Sell signal today when the Williams %R moved into a negative configuration. Be advised that we are using a different set of indicators for stocks than we are for bonds. We went to a softer set of indicators for equities to prevent the many whipsaws that were occurring on their charts. Just mentioned it in case you were wondering why the C, S, and I Funds weren’t also generating sell signals.
f-fund
That’s all for today. Have a nice evening!
God bless, Scott 8-)

    Good Morning, Another day another challenge. This market is anything other than boring and I say that not necessarily in a good way! When it comes to the market I think boring is good.

    Good Morning, Our charts told us we were at the bottom and the fundamentals agreed. The opportunity was so compelling that we probably jumped back in a few weeks to early, but we wanted to make darn sure we were positioned for the run that would surely come. The market dipped and many chicken little…

    Good Morning, Inevitably, we will have a down day and today is it. Believe it or not the S&P 500 has gone up the past nine sessions and it’s been a long time since it’s done that. So a down day today is not so bad. The recent run has pretty much put things back…
