Why Market Timing Is A Must


What worries financial markets is not inflation or high interest rates, it is whether or not there is a recession ahead.  A good predictor of a recession is continued selling of small cap. stocks. 

If Russell 2000, on its weekly chart shown above, sells off and breaches its support (red), there is a good chance that the economy is either in a recession or enters into a recession soon.  A rally and a close above the resistance line (green) in the next  couple of weeks would indicate that the chance of a recession is slim.

 
SGS Market Timer
