Introducing A New State for SGS

I am adding a new state to my market timer signal, SGS.  The new state is Neutral.  When SGS goes Neutral, RTS will close its open positions and will not open new positions so long as SGS remains Neutral.

Currently SGS is Long, but marching toward Neutral.

Will Bear Market Resume Next Week?

There is a good chance the bear leg that started in late April resumes next week.  SPX is up against the primary downtrend line now which happens to coincide with the 100 D-SMA at 1105.  100 D-SMA has turned SPX back down twice in the last three months.  It very likely does it again starting next week.

Nasty Move Down Might Have Just Started

The big move down that I wrote about last month (click here), might have just started today.  SGS is Long, but marching toward going short.  I think the likelihood of retesting of SPX 1011 is very high at this point.

SGS is Still Short, but ...................

Just an update to answer questions / comments emailed to me via my blog. 

SGS is still short, but very close to going long.   A strong up day either tomorrow or Friday would turn SGS long.  At that point, RTS would cover its current short portfolio and open a new long portfolio with 10 long positions.  As usual, I would post as soon as that happens (if it does that is).

Personally, I don't think Market is going much higher.  At best, maybe SPX 1140 - 1160 sometime in August.   After that I expect an accelerated and nasty move to the down side.  I expect SPX to retest its March 2009 lows (700 to 650) sometime in 2010-Q4 or 2011-Q1.

Where are we heading?

Down Down Down as shown in thick solid pink on the SPX montly chart below.

First of all SGS is short (been short as of close of 5/14/2010), so you've got to respect that.  Secondly, SPX solidly closed below its 23 EMA on the SPX monthly chart; and on the SPX daily chart, 50 D-SMA is now below 200 D-SMA (Death Cross). Thirdly, notice the symmetric nature of SPX moves from its major bottoms and tops in the last 12 years.  That symmetry will repeat itself as SPX goes down to retest March 2009 lows around 700 to 650 sometime in late 2010 to early 2011.

SPX Up Against Primary Downtrend Line

SGS is Short.

SPX hit the primary downtrend line today (thick blue line).  This trend line should turn SPX back and forcing it heading south again.  A solid close above this line (i.e. SPX closing at 1120 or higher) would very likely push SPX higher to its 50 D-SMA, around 1140 (green curve).

If this Market is heading substantially lower, it should start that way tomorrow.

Half Way Done - Another Half To Go

NASDAQ Composite (COMPQ), Russel 2000 (RUT) and S&P 500 (SPX) have dropped about 13% from their highs of late April.  By late June to mid July, they'll very likely shed another 13% to reach their 50% retracement levels of their late April highs.  Those levels are roughly at:

COMPQ:1950
RUT: 550
SPX: 950

Next Two Weeks, C R I T I C A L

Three scenarios to consider:

1. Less Likely: Continuation of the bull run that started early March 2009.

2. Likely: Market sells off more despite being very over sold, until it dramatically crashes down to SPX 950-900.

3. More Likely: A rally back to SPX 1120-1150 over the course of next two weeks and then declining back to retest last week lows, SPX 1070- 1050.

I like 2.

Possible Downside for SPX ....

SGS is Short.

SPX seems to be sandwiched by 50 D-SMA (as the resistance) and 200 D-SMA (as the support).  There is a good chance now that SPX comes down to retest its 200 D-SMA at lower 110X sometimes this week.

SGS is short.  Full portfolio update this weekend.

CF Took Over TRA on 4/15/2010 at Close - RTS Sold TRA and Bought ZION

CF announced on Thr 4/15/2010 that it was taking over TRA.  TRA was delisted on 4/15 at close. RTS sold TRA and bought ZION on Thr 4/15/2010 at close.

I didn't get a chance to sell my TRA shares and buy ZION last Thursday.  My plan is to do that as soon as my broker gives me the cash and CF shares for my TRA shares ($37.15 in cash + 0.0953*CF share for every TRA share).
