SGS Market Timer Status: LONG
LONG as of the close of Friday Feb 8, 2019
SGS is a Long-Term (weeks to months) Timer
Why Market Timing Is A Must
A major military conflict with Iran worries the market substantially more than the trade war with China. The outcome of a trade war with China is known, very likely a trade agreement in which wildly consumed Chinese products would be subjected to 5% to 10% tariff, paid by the US importers and passed on to the US consumers. The new tariff would be a flat tax, in a way a federal sales tax. The outcome of a conflict with Iran, on the other hand, is unknown. It could be just one or two missile strikes by the US with very little or no response from Iran. It could also spiral into an all out war, possibly nuclear war, in the Middle East.

SGS declined last week and got closer to turning from "LONG" to "NEUTRAL" but managed to close above +50. SGS status is still "LONG".
My Plan
I am watching the situation with Iran. If it looks like that Bolton and Cotton (both serve their Israelis and Saudis masters) are about to push us into a war, then I would close all long positions.
