NOT a good week, NOT a buy week. The sum of all the deviations has been 348, 310, and now 206 – not up 2 weeks in a row.
The number of funds I rate as a buy over the last 3 weeks has been 01, 03, and now 03.
In reviewing some of the market indicators:
SPY (S&P500 ETF) is -2% above its 50 day moving average,
QQQ (Nasdaq 100 ETF) is -2% above its 50 day moving average,
IWM (Russell 2000 ETF) is -3% above its 50 day moving average,
SPY and QQQ are above their 200 day moving average.
The sum of the deviations is positive.
Not a time to buy – Sum of all deviations is not up 2 weeks in a row.
So last Saturday (10Aug) I was talking with a doctor at the local medical center. He told me I was going to stay there for a couple of days. I told him he was no longer my favorite doctor. He laughed, told me he could live with that, and he was going to get me a room for a couple of days. Thus, I was not home to do my weekly report. Both this week’s numbers and last week’s numbers are below.
I was talking with a lady last week who previously used a stop loss order to sell a stock when it dropped. Of course after she sold, it went up. I suggest she should look into PTNQ as an investment. Pacer Trendpilot 100 ETF uses the NASDAQ-100 index as an investment as long as it is above its 200 day moving average. If it declines below the 200 day moving average it starts switching to treasury bonds. Then when it increases above the 200 day moving averages, it invests in the NASDAQ-100 index again. paceretfs.com/products/trendpilot provides details about these 6 ETFs.
