Still Waiting For An Entry To Go Long

SGS_LT Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of close of  November 11, 2016
SGS_LT is a Long Term (weeks to months) Timer

Current Long Term Portfolio (2017)
Past Long Term Portfolios (2008-2016)



Long Term Outlook


Longer term, chances are good for SPX to sell off to tests its DTL-W around 2250 sometime this coming and then continues its sell off to test its PUL-2 and price support around 2200.

Short Term Outlook



Shorter term, chances are good for SPX to sell off to tests its D-DTL around 2280 sometime this coming and then continues its sell off to test its AUL around 2270.

My Plan

The latest chaos created by the US administration could escalate and cause a minor sell off this coming week.  If there is no selling of individual stocks, then the upcoming sell off would be a good buying opportunity.  My plan is to do my first buy of three in SPY.

A Sell Off Is Likely This Coming Week

SGS_LT Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of close of  November 11, 2016
SGS_LT is a Long Term (weeks to months) Timer

Current Long Term Portfolio (2017)
Past Long Term Portfolios (2008-2016)


All major indices have now broken through their AUL's and trading below them. Chances are good that we see a significant (5% to 10%) sell off starting this coming week.


Long Term Outlook


Longer term, chances are good for SPX to sell off to tests its DTL-W around 2230 sometime this coming and then continues its sell off to test its PUL-2 and price support around 2190.

Short Term Outlook


Shorter term, chances are good for SPX to sell off to tests its 50 D-SMA around 2250 sometime this coming and then continues its sell off to test its 100 D-SMA around 2200.

My Plan

I'm watching the sell off to see if Big Money unloads any of his long equity positions. If there is no selling of individual stocks, then the upcoming sell off would be a good buying opportunity.

A Classic Case Of "Buy The Rumor - Sell The News"?

SGS_LT Market Timer Status:  LONG 
LONG as of close of  November 11, 2016
SGS_LT is a Long Term (weeks to months) Timer

Current Long Term Portfolio (2017)
Past Long Term Portfolios (2008-2016)


The rumor is that the Trump presidency is going to be great for the US stock market.  He and the Congress are going to get rid of tons of regulations, give everyone a substantial tax cut, create millions of new jobs, pure billions if not trillions of dollars into our military and infrastructure, balance the budget and reduce the national debt.  The news might be that the new administration would find itself drawn into many controversies, scandals, conflicts and become totally paralyzed.


Longer Term Outlook

Chances are good that SPX sells off to test its 13 W-EMA (W-DTL) sometime this coming week.  A close below W-DTL this week would signal a high likelihood of trend line (PUL-2) and price support around 2180. 

In all minor sell offs since the election, I have not seen any signs that Big Money was unloading his long positions in equities.  I wonder if that is going to change after Trump takes the White House.  If Big Money hangs on to his long equity positions as SPX sells off to test supports, then the sell off would be a good buying opportunity.

 
My Plan

I'm planning to stay in cash and watch the action from the sideline for another week or so.


SPX: S&P 500 Index    D-SMA: Daily - Simple Moving Average

Is this the beginning of a new bull leg?  I don't know, I am going to wait and see how indices and stocks behave in a sell off which should be coming our way soon.

I'm planning to include my usual charts and analysis in my weekly post very soon.  Still trying to recover from the shock of the election and rally since the election :).
