Each week I get a copy 0f The Felder Report, sent free from www.thefeldreport.com. This week he reported some of the indicators which are of concern. They do not present a positive picture. The first four are: 1. The S&P500 median price to sales ratio – a record. 2. Bond yields are current lower than inflation – first time in 30 years. 3. Corporate America is now more leveraged than ever. 4. Junk bonds officially haved entered “Bubble” territory.
IBD TBP’s Market Pulse is “Confirmed uptrend” as of 21Sep. Time to invest if it stays this way for the next week. Personally I do not believe it will, but will invest next weekend IF it remains the same.
My current investments:
IRA#1 and IRA#2
SMedicalEquipment&Sytems has a price of 43.54, a sell price of 41.36, a rank of 03, and is a hold. (ETF – IHI current stoploss 136.01)
