SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer
Why Market Timing Is A Must
Q4 earnings reports and outlook have been mostly positive for those companies that have reported so far. On Friday January 4, current and past Fed. heads assured financial markets that "Fed PUT" is still in and continues to be in for the foreseeable future. Inflation data is tamed, GDP growth data has been bullish, and unemployment is at historic low levels.
Major indices have rallied around 10% to 15% in the last 16 trading days with bullish internals and breadth. All seven major indices (RUT, DJT, DJI, SPX, NAZ, OEX, and NDX) are now trading above their 50 D-SMA while number of new 52-week lows have reduced to benign levels that usually accompany a bull leg.
There is chaos in Washington DC but that will get sorted out one way or another in the next few months. My guess is that Trump would be forced to resign.

After bottoming at -1741 on December 26, SGS advanced sharply in the last 16 trading days. The sharp reversal of SGS signals that there is a better than 90% chance that the lows printed on December 26 for major indices was the bottom for the recent sell-off.
Support and resistance levels for SPX for the upcoming week are shown above.
My Plan
My Plan
All five major indices (DJI, DJT, NAZ, RUT, and SPX) are now trading above their 50 D-SMA's. SGS is still short but there is a 70% or higher chance that it would turn NEUTRAL or even LONG by Friday. My plan is to do my first of three buys early this week in SPY (30%) and the following stocks (10% each):
1. WDAY
2. LULU
3. AVGO
4. XLNX
5. VRTX
6. UNP
7. SBUX
Current Long-Term Portfolio (2019)
Past Long-Term Portfolios (2018-2008)
