Trading Strategy and Market Timing Update

 

Market  Commentary:

Stock market volatility continues to increase into the most dangerous seasonal time period of the year. Our original form of cycle research analysis has guided our clients, listeners, and subscribers from below Dow 6,500 to recent recorded high prices reached at its recent high tick of 12,258.01 last April.  We had suggested the "Selling in May" and going away at these upper levels providing you with our various major support levels, which if violated, would have generated continual downside targets  based on our original form of research analysis.

 

Since our "Sell Signal" last May, the market retreated 16% to its low point on July 2nd, at Dow 9,614,32.  With the month of July being historically, the most positive month during this seasonal cycle period, we once again were able to forecast a move back to our upside major resistance area at Dow 10,700.  A high tick of 10,719.94 was achieved on August 9th propelling the market back down to its current close of 10,303.15 after hitting a low point of 10, 268.71.  This downside level does satisfy a minimum downside target with Dow 10, 419 being nearby resistance.  A break above this area could signal another test to the 10,700 level and if the market is going to attempt this move, it  must do it by this trading week. This week is options expiration week which usually has an upside price bias at least by week's end.  For that reason, we have placed our suggested short ETF buy orders under the current market prices.

This is our third issue of our ETF Newsletter since we suspended publication in September 2007 at the time of our Dow 14,000.major sell signal.  At that time, this advisory was a long only position newsletter offering a lack of opportunity for profit by subscribers on the long side of the market.  Therefore we suspended its publication until better opportunities developed.  Today, we have included our cycle analysis for inverse ETF positions as an opportunity to either hedge long portfolio positions or to profit from the market downside directional movement in price.  The uniqueness of this updated ETF issues is the sole use of 3xs Beta ETF's currently being offered.

 

A Trailing Price Discipline should be used with any recommendation made in this newsletter.  This discipline allows your winners to run while protecting your downside to a small manageable loss.  For these listed issues, we suggests a 5% Trailing Price Floor which will be follow for this newsletter however each subscriber should determine their own risk tolerant percent levels.
