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-)
