Current
position for
Tuesday: Primary
program is Long: 37.5% Rydex S&P 2x fund. Long/money market
program is Long: 50% Rydex S&P 2x fund. Hot Money
program is Long: 50% Rydex S&P 2x fund. Retirement
program is 100% Money market. High Exposure
program is Long: 100% Rydex S&P 2x fund. Anticipatory Trend program
is 100% Money market. The
market had a small but enthusiastic plunge near the close with the NDX,
S&P, DOW and RUT indices all closing at the low of the day. This
indicates mostly tax selling but with a desire to wait for the indices to
go as high as possible prior to the sale. The first day of the year
generally goes higher and we are now in the S&P for that event.
Over the next month I will implement some small upgrades and review each
programs performance. Please pick up your free

Current
position for
Friday: Primary
program is Long: 37.5% Rydex Dow 2x fund. Long/money market
program is Long: 50% Rydex Dow 2x fund. Hot Money
program is Long: 50% Rydex Dow 2x fund. Retirement
program is 100% Money market. High Exposure
program is Long: 100% Rydex Dow 2x fund. Anticipatory Trend program
is 100% Money market. We
will switch to the S&P for the first three weeks in January then move
back into the NDX which by that time should have found its legs. I am
pleased with our programs going into the new year but will be making minor
updates to some of them reflecting new knowledge acquired. The new taxes
are having a negative impact on the dollar and will result in increased
inflation which I believe should increase the volatility of the markets
which are the lowest in over 35 years for the NDX. This year was 22%
lower than the previous lowest year which was 2013. It was also less than
17% of what it was in 2000, the year with the largest recorded
volatility. Please pick up your free

Short: 50% Rydex
Inverse DOW 2x fund, all other programs 100% Money Market.
The markets had a short rally at the close signaling a move of all
programs to the money market, but just prior to that signal we moved short
on the above two programs. The volatility remains exceptionally low muting
any downside attempts. Please pick up your free

Current
position for
Wednesday: Primary
program is Long: 75% Rydex Dow 2x fund. Long/money market
program is Long: 75% Rydex Dow 2x fund. Hot Money
program is Long: 100% Rydex Dow 2x fund. Retirement
program is 100% Rydex Dow 2x fund. High Exposure
program is Long: 100% Rydex Dow 2x fund. Anticipatory Trend program
is Long: 60% Rydex Dow 2x fund. Our
Anticipatory trend has turned long and that should combine well with our
other components to push the market higher on Wednesday. Apple hurt
the NDX on Tuesday and may not fully participate in any rally. We remain
in the DOW where Apple has less of an impact. We are fully long. Please pick up your free

dull market is not giving us much to work with. Tax adjusting doesn't
help. 2017 was on the most part a straight up year for the indices,
and it was also a very low key year for volatility. The two go together,
dull markets are generally good markets as investor fears are lulled
away. Have a happy holiday and we will be back on Tuesday. Please pick up your free

is 100% Money market. Our
Anticipatory trend is neutral and not supporting either direction.
This has an effect of lessening the probabilities of our main signal. We
compensate for it by reducing our exposure. As we go into the end of the
year we switch our trading from the NDX to other indexes. This year I have
chosen to go with the Dow through year end and will start the new year in
the S&P. I moved to the Dow a little early this year as the NDX
continues to be out of sync with the other indexes. Over the next few days
I will be makings some small improvements to our conservative program
which is already performing very well. Please pick up your free

today it fell another quarter percent raising the inflation level. To
compensate for the falling dollar interest rates will have to rise causing
even more inflation and yes both the 90 day tbills and 10 year note rates
went higher on Tuesday. Please pick up your free

good day for the markets as they continue to buy into the corporate tax
cut. The NDX corporations should benefit from the cut and more will come
from the drop in the dollar which is off almost 8.5% this year. Like
this tax plan, a weak dollar is good short term for corporations and the
stock market, and bad long term for the population which will have to pay
more for food, oil and most products. They will also have to pay for the
tax break to the corporations since the economy will not get a trickle
down boost and the lost tax revenue will have to be made up. Trickle down
only worked when goods were produced in the US and purchased in the US. Please pick up your free

Now fully long. For the past
few years I have been focused on shorter term volatility and how it
relates to index price, I am now researching longer term volatility.
Though this is a rather narrow subject it already has provided insight
into market action. The Fed did raise rates 1/4% but it was expected
and compensated for, so both the 90day and 10 year rates came down. The day
after the Fed acts the markets usually react in a positive mode. Please pick up your free

We are now partial long as our signals are mostly, but not all,
positively aligned. Volatility remains on the low side. Trend is
positive. Looking at the US budget what is most obvious is that as a
percentage of GDP our defense spending is three times that of
compared the UK or Germany. Why does the US need to spend so
much? The past Republican president Dwight David Eisenhower gave a
famous speech where he said:"We
must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether
sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex."
Looking
at the size of military spending it appears that our government has bent
to the wishes of this complex at the expense of other more beneficial
allocations. Like health care, education and infrastructure rebuilding.

We are holding our partial short position into Wednesday. Employment
growth has been in the technology area, and that is being hurt by the tax
plan. These employees are paid well and often the mortgages on their homes
easily run over the $500k proposed limit. One would think that well paid
jobs would be something that would be supported by a forward thinking
congress. Unfortunately this is a red vs blue tax bill with a bonus for
those of any color with estates over $5mil. On the plus side, housing, like
drug costs continue to out-run inflation so this might contain the price expansion.
More likely it will just spread the price expansion to lower priced homes
causing a compression in the $400K to the $1M range. Tax plan news
and news releases on the Russian probe are causing a disruption in the
normal stock market action. Please pick up your free

Although the market has become more volatile in the past few days it
remains in a low
volatility mode. The market is also split with the Dow moving higher and
the NDX off more than 1%. These are not the best conditions for trading on
the short side and there remains a good likelihood of the NDX recovering
in the near future.

News that Michael Flynn,
Trumps ex-national security advisor pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI
sent the market lower with the NDX going down at one point nearly 2% it
did recover about three quarters of that drop. The tech stocks were hit
and all the FAANG stocks and NVDA closed lower. We remain in our position
expecting a recovery in the NDX. At this time it is completely clear
that the tax bill will be a major benefit for the stock market as the cuts
will go to the bottom line (after bonuses) and a bust for the lower income
workers. This will eventually cause more problems down the road as trickle
down fails, demand and sales stall and the expanding deficit due to the
cuts will have to be dealt with. As long as there is a good chance that
the bill will pass the market should hold up. Though some may sell
on that news, if volatility remains low I don't see a reason for the
buy-and-hold crowd to sell
at this time. Please pick up your free

Our Anticipatory trend has
kicked in to the upside and we are now fully long. This was a more
volatile week than we have been accustomed to recently. Today's up move
regained about half of Thursday's fall. For about 50 years we have
seen a bubble and collapse of some sort, almost every ten years. In 1973
it was the stock market in the1980's it was gold and oil, by 1989
it was junk bonds by 2000 it was the dot coms and by 2008 it was real
estate and the overall stock market. The Bitcoin bubble is still too small
in terms of people involved to cause major damage, but in a year or two it
could be the next cause or helper of a major market collapse. Please pick up your free

very bad day for the NDX as all the FANG Stocks suffered drops from -2% to
-5%. With the Dow and RUT showed small gains and the S&P slipping a
very small amount it appears to be a flight of the Mutual
funds. Bitcoin, the crypto currency, ran above $11,000 a coin
then fell as much as 18% during the day, as Nvidia the graphic card maker
fell almost -7%, these cards are sometimes used to mine Bitcoin and any
dip in the bitcoin price is likely to cause major damage to Nvidia, even
the high volatility of Bitcoin could cause it to shake. Bitcoin is
used mostly for under ground transactions but its wild price swings even
make that use shaky. At some point governments will ban it and the price
of Bitcoin and all things tied to it will crumble. Even if they don't get
banned the mining of the coin gets more expensive as time passes due to
the way it was set up. We get to see another bubble. We are holding
our above positions (not bitcoin!). Today's ndx drop will help increase
the volatility making the market easier to read. Please pick up your free

Current
position for Monday: All
programs 100% money market. For Monday a
combination of market movements has produced a less common situation based
on our criteria providing insufficient data to project a direction and
range for our money market signal. We make money by having an edge
in our favor for each trade and when we do not we move to the money
market. Tax concerns are influencing the market and unfortunately the
current tax plan passed by the house, while good for the stock market, is
bad for the overall US economy and the workers. The economy needs to
be boosted from the bottom up. Workers having more money to spend due to
tax cuts will spend it on products and services. Corporations having more
money to spend will spend it on automation and on overseas expansion, and
will lay-off US workers leaving the government to pay the costs associated
with unemployment and further depleting US demand. This path is not
only stupid, but it is evil. Trickle down economics has not worked since
the mid 70's. Please pick up your free

Small pull-back on Tuesday

while GE dipped another 7 continuing its recent trend. Overall
market trend remains positive.

exceptionally low. We have mixed signals for Monday and have moved to the

are perhaps seeing the very beginning of caution in the markets but maybe
not as the NDX staged a strong recovery of a good portion of Thursday's
early drop. Volatility remains low and there does not seem to
be any major frights to worry about. Our Market Structure level
climbed again and is nearing the zero line as as we said before as it
climbs the market has difficulties making headway, but not so much when
under very low volatility conditions. Please pick up your free

Market Structure level has gained over the past week, remaining negative
but halfway up towards the zero level. It is more difficult for the
market to make gains as the levels are climbing, but we can see that despite
this, the market is doing very well. SNAP fell about 14.5% on Wednesday
and ROKU climbed about 25% in Wednesday's aftermarket. Though relatively
minor players in the Tech industry they reflect the rapid changes taking
place daily as the world of Tech grows exponentially. Making it hard for

Current
position for Monday: All
programs 100% money market. It was a very
good week for us. We have moved all accounts into the money market.
The market may be over extended short term but the low volatility tells us
that there is not a great chance of rapid deterioration so the safest
place for Monday is the money market. This could be a near term top.
Our Market Structure level is close to bottom having spent much energy
getting the market this far up. There may not be a lot more to run much
higher while the low volatility should keep it from falling very
far. Please pick up your free

The GOP tax bill was released
today giving large breaks to the rich and even more in the way of
inheritance relief to the super rich along with a giant boost for
corporations. Seems like no one cares that economies grow bottom up, not
top down. The market did little in response. Our signal stayed long and
strong and our probabilities became more positive. Our Market Structure
Level is now close to its bottom level telling us that the market should
have a more difficult time over the next few weeks in making large gains,

selling and allow the NDX to move higher on Thursday. Fed spoke in terms

Current
position for Tuesday: High Exposure program is
Long: 100% Rydex NDX 2x fund.
All other programs 100% money
market. As expected there was some carry-over from the
large NDX run-up Friday. Our new in 2017 "high exposure/high
expectations" program is now up over 30% ytd. Our signal is
saying that there could be some danger overstaying this rally over the
next day or two and we have
moved mostly into the money market for Tuesday. Indictments from the
Russian probe could lead to more market uncertainty and the recent jump
was large. The overall direction is still up. Cutting taxes is generally good for the economy and this
economy seems a lot healthier today than it did two years ago. The
proposed corporate tax cut is however the wrong tax cut at the wrong time.
If this was 1965 when the economy was booming, automation was in its infancy
and was something that supported labor rather than replaced it, it would
have been the right thing to do. Demand was strong and a corporate tax cut
would have meant more local jobs with increases in advertising and
production. Foreign sales were only a small part of the economy. But
this is 2017 and demand remains weak. You can not spur demand with more
goods, it takes increasing the available purchasing power and corporate
tax cuts do not increase purchasing power, at best they increase available
product. In actuality they will provide corporations the funds necessary
to fully automate processes, reducing labor and harming the economy. Goods
produced will find their way to China which is where there remains strong
demand, and more money will flow out of the US rather than into the USA as
currently more goods are sold overseas than consumed in the USA. Some of
that tax cut will become increases in stock dividends and some will be
part of stock buy backs. Good for stock prices but not good for the
economy. An economy with weak demand requires tax cuts at the bottom and
middle not at the top and not for corporations.

Friday we not only had the probabilities in our favor we had the
additional advantages of strong tech earnings and a strong GDP growth announcement.
This gave us the largest NDX percent change for the year while we were
leveraged. Interestingly the Dow was up only 0.14% for the day
showing the disconnect between Technology and Industrials. Barring unforeseen bad news, this strong move should
carry over into Monday. Even with Friday's large move volatility
remains very low, maintaining the upward bias. Please pick up your free

market fell today perhaps reflecting the -6.3% drop in GE. GE, one of the
original 12 DOW stocks back in 1896 and part of a group of
"Just put it in a draw and forget it." stocks fell over -6%
today and is now down -29% for the year. And also down since the
year 2000. It was a wonderful run but times change. It is an example
for not buying individual stock and blindly holding on. You always need to
know more about the transaction than the guy on the other side of the
trade. And you need to keep that edge for as long as you hold your side of
the trade. This is very difficult in stocks, and when it isn't difficult
it is called "insider trading". The market continues to
move slowly and we are holding our partial positive position........
I was in NYC last week which is now near 100% gentrified. monthly parking
was $600.xx, while the 24 hr cost was about $63. A "black label
burger with fries" was $33. This was in the West Village area. You
could still get Two Brothers $1 a slice pizza in the East Village or just
enjoy walking past the vast variety of unique shops for free. No
recession there, but high failure rate on the restaurants especially at
lease renewal time. I saw a decrease in the number of police and
probably a lower cost to the city to maintain services with the decrease
in poor people and the drop in crime. Unfortunately many ethnic groups and
elderly got caught in the change over. And for better or worse the city
lost some of its charm. With all the change or because of it there are
still homeless and winter is coming.

put more people to work in a rebuilding effort. The NDX continues to
push higher and should continue, but there may be a short test back
towards the 6000 level very soon
prior to a resumption of the uptrend. We have rather flat numbers
for Monday making it difficult to select a direction but overall
conditions are unchanged and Mondays tend to go in the same direction as
Friday so we lean higher but wait for a stronger signal. Please pick up your free

benefited today from the house passing the budget bill. Good tax
legislation has long term benefits for the economy and bad legislation
does the opposite and it is not always obvious which is which. It
was US tax changes that crushed Puerto Rico by ending a business deduction
for doing business on the island. It might have seemed like plugging a
loop hole but it was a life-line to the country and terminating it was not
well thought out, another case of unintended consequences.... We are

much flat-lined for the last three hours of trading then tilted slightly
higher at the close. We remain in the money market. Days like this show
that the market is temporarily in balance. Las
Vegas should inspire another attempt at
trying to keep guns out of mentally ill hands. I expect it to be brought
up, and shot down in congress. There are many things that can be fixed but
the players have their own agendas and nothing gets done. Hopefully the US
can grow above that and provide the guidance that Puerto Rico needs to
rebuild and become viable. It is a nice island about eleven hundred fifty
miles from Florida. Some tax incentives like those used by Ireland could
be used to lure business to the Island. Perhaps major manufacturing plants
or a mini Silicon valley could provide economic salvation. Please pick up your free

Current
position for Monday: All
programs 100% money market. The NDX moved
closer to a new high and should do so next week. We moved into the
money market as we adjust our market exposure according to our perceived
market risk. Some of our programs can make money from either market
direction. The market's current economic focus is on the tax
bill. Upping the standard deduction will help the economy by putting
money where it is really needed and immediately spent, which is at the
bottom. The ending of the state and local tax deductions are targeting the
states won by Clinton, so that has a smell. What smells the most is
eliminating the estate tax. Currently estates under $5.49M are
exempt from the estate tax which is a large percentage of the population
but Trump's plan is a direct give away for him and his billionaire friends
by eliminating it all together. All of our programs are doing well
this year, 3 have gained over 20% each. However we have not had
significant progress these past three months as we have spent time
recovering from being on the wrong side of a number of US / North
Korea tirades. Aside from these "event" days the programs are
running smoothly and are at or very near all time highs. Please pick up your free

are throwing rocks in the school yard and somebody is going to get hurt.
China has joined the economic world and is not looking to take a step
back. Donald Trump's obvious need to feel important ("look at
the size of my crowd") may be playing against him against North

Current
position for Monday: All
programs 100% money market. I was glad to
see that our program decided to move 100% into the money market for Monday
as there are two major events this weekend that could sway the markets
either way for Monday and we do not want to be exposed to the market
unless we have an edge. #1 is the potential for another missile or bomb (test?)
from North Korea on Foundation of the Republic day, and #2 is the amount
of devastation from hurricane Irma in Florida and the mainland. The
combination could send the markets much lower or even higher if the hurricane
path changes and the test fizzles. I don't toss coins. .....Going
forward our Market Structure has once again climbed to within one step of
the transition zone where it could turn positive and become a major
support for additional market highs. Most of the time the level does not
make it into the positive area but instead falls back, and unless the
volatility remains low we see more down side.
I
had a very interesting conversation today regarding Donald Trumps motivation.
By looking at Mr. Trumps actions in the light of his previous experience
as a wrestling promoter it makes a lot of sense. He has been 100% consistent
in supporting his hardcore base of about 30% of Americans. And he
gets great ratings with them. He is not part of a political machine, he is
independent and will make whatever deal he can to cement his core
group. A 30 percent core group means an over 60% piece of the
Republican votes and no one can unseat him there. Brilliant, even
though it seems to be irrational and evil to 60% of Americans and seems
just bewildering to the other 10%. He can and will make some deals
with Democrats because his core voters are not as much Republican
supporters as Trump supporters and Trump can do what he likes
because he has the ratings. In college wrestling there are rules and the
matches are real. In professional wrestling the rules are broken,
agreements mean nothing and the lies and bravado bring in the fans. Sound familiar?
As investors, understanding this will help you make better investment
decisions and not be surprised or blindsided by a seemingly random Trump
Tweet or decree. Recently

Korea's bomb test on Friday sent the markets lower over the weekend and it
carried in force into Monday. I consider this an "Event
day" which is when a major influencing event happens that immediately
effects the markets. These days are not predictable other than they are
generally in the down direction. I expect the market to try to recover on
Wednesday. Goldman Sach's fell over -3.5% as there are other
implications adrift. Our president is pursuing isolationist policies and a
move that might (temporarily) cut trade with China (because China
supplies North Korea with refined petroleum and buys their coal despite
agreements against it.) could fit in well with his agenda. Even the hint
of a trade stoppage with China would send the markets lower and clobber

The NDX made a new closing high but fell a tiny bit short on the
intraday. Our signal danced between a partial long and money market,
we moved fully into the money market taking the safer route while our
signal eventually settled on the partial long. Going into the long three
day weekend and knowing that we have a wildcard in the oval office I
leaned toward safety. Most likely we will see some early upside
Friday. Please pick up your free

The last three days were down for the NDX and that usually means an up-day
is next, but our signal remains down along with a negative money
flow projection for Monday, volatility has however slipped and could help

More loose cannon remarks last night by Mr. Trump sent the markets
lower. Shut down the government for a wall? I expect this drop
to carry into Monday but we will go one day at a time. We held all
short positions. We may have reached the
tipping point regarding Mr Trump and the market. I expect to see
Trump's chaos pushing market volatility higher over the rest of the
year. The dollar should continue to drift lower with slipping
confidence in the US and our interest rates should hold firm. Regarding
inflation, expect the falling dollar to cause food prices to rise and
continued inflation in medicine, education and rent. This should result in
more market pull backs than we have seen in the first eight months. Please pick up your free

One day without problems from the White house and the markets jumped. It
won't last. The increase in volatility does not mean the
market will go down, but it does mean that the direction is no longer a
one way street and investors should now be concerned that the market could
start going down at any time as long as the volatility remains above the
bottom level that we have become used to over many months.

Current
position for
Tuesday: High Exposure program is Short: 100% Rydex
Inverse NDX 2x fund. All other programs 100% Money market. This
market is shifting between extreme down days separated by a bunch of
nothing days. Today was a nothing day. The eclipse is over and we
can refocus and amuse or frighten ourselves with more news soon to come
from the White house. The hope of leadership in the White house is
gone. Still the continued gains in productivity supported by low
interest rates and overall small daily market movements should help the indices
hold up. Many companies will continue to shed workers and improve
profits with little or no increase in revenue. Low interest rates
can support high valuations. Unfortunately there is no one to
control runaway drug and hospital costs, higher education costs and rents.
How do young people who lose their reasonable pay jobs manage to retrain
with education costs rising along with rents? The Young White Disenfranchised
misplace their anger. The higher educated coastal populations often
do not see the problems of the YWD as severe
or as worthy as the problems of the African Americans who never wanted to
be here to begin with, and were chained, dragged and beaten to work for
free. Almost always both sides forget about the American Indians whose
land was forcibly taken (stolen) by the European Immigrants on their way
west. Productivity usually also creates new jobs but the timing and
location of those jobs puts them at another time and place while the
amount of new jobs is often less than the number displaced. Amazon
employs 341,100 while 100,000 jobs were lost in retail since October. This
is a world wide trend. even those countries that have replaced our workers
have found that their own workers were replaced by machines. It is not
immigrants taking US jobs, it is productivity
the double edged sword. It is one of the biggest and most neglected
problems facing the world. Please pick up your free

enough to encourage more downside. Even news of Bannon's departure

should help the markets continue to new highs but our anticipatory level

All other programs 100% Money market. We
got our quiet Monday and strong market, almost fully recovering from the
Trump inspired drop. Although days late, our president came very
close to rectifying his gaff on Charlottesville had he not told Fox news
that he was considering a pardon for the hateful ex sheriff of
Arizona. Donald you almost did good. We do need a United
America. Less money would need to be spent fighting crime,
more money could be spent on education and we would have a stronger,
better, more prosperous country. Not even considering morality or
social benefits, it is simple economics. The past three days has
helped move volatility higher but it will need more 1+% days to move it
back to normal. Mixed readings for Tuesday and we have moved most of
our programs into the money market. Please pick up your free

continue to follow our signals and have reduced our exposure.
My concern is the instability of the people holding the nuke codes. It
appears that all the other players are grown-ups looking to better the
economics of the countries that they lead. You don't do that with bombs
when your country is in the sights. Take the bombs out of the equation
and what is left are just normal market gyrations. The VIX jumped about
40% today. I don't think that Goldman Sach and friends will allow
this to go much further without applying direct pressure on Mr

fire and fury comment scared about 1% out of the NDX early Wednesday, but
when the smoke cleared at the final bell all but 0.12% was retaken.
The basic trend direction remains higher but any "event" could
send it lower for a short time and any really foolish irreversible
"event" could send the markets crashing. Short of a bomb
we should get sufficient warning for a market disaster and we should be
able to take advantage of the move. Event driven days are more difficult
because they can skewer markets in either direction the day that they
happen, leaving no warning for that day. It would probably have been
healthier for the market to not have recovered quite as much as it may
have run out of steam to go much further on Thursday. But our signal
has strengthened and we have increased our market exposure. Please pick up your free

did it again with Apple's strong earnings. The NDX opened higher then took
a substantial drop and made a modest recovery. This behavior is not
something we see in a healthy market and the size of the moves indicates
that Mutual funds and Hedge funds are probably involved. We reduced

Apple reported after the close and has jumped over 5%, since it has about
a 12% weight that should translate into about 0.6% for the NDX.
Since it will most likely push AMZN and FB higher that could also add a
tenth or two to the NDX. Why do millennials buy in excess Iphones, tattoos

traders may be using the "FANG" earnings reports to unload tech
stocks which have had a large run-up. Our signal has gone

currency strengthens as international investors see its country as strong,
dominant, enduring and safe. Since shortly after the election the
dollar has fallen as investors realized that the US was on a path that
could jeopardize all of those things. The fall has, however, been good for
the US multinationals who have more earnings from overseas than from the
US. This is part of the reason that the market has continued to make new
highs. Combined with the small daily change low volatility the
market continues to go higher. Our Market Structure level has taken a step
lower which should also encourage a pulse higher for Thursday. We are
fully long. FB posted good earnings, after the close the stock was up

have made some adjustments to our Anticipatory Trend program as well as to
the way we calculate our next day probabilities. The changes to the
Anticipatory Trend program will reduce market exposure to only the most
reliable conditions and should have a resulting reduction in drawdown
making it a step above our most conservative program with overall market
exposure equal to about 50% of the NDX, while striving for
annual double digit returns. This should offer an excellent
combination of low risk with time based diversification. The

Our Market Structure level is negative but only one step from the
transition area where it could turn positive. It has been turned back from
this level many times before, while the low volatility helped the market
to climb while overpowering the negative Market Structure. Under
these conditions I do not see much more than a small pullback, perhaps no
more than a day or two prior to the resumption to the upside. Please pick up your free

Window dressing for the mutual funds will be over as we enter the third
quarter so the cosmetic switch from tech to banks should taper off. At
some point money will flow back into the techs since they are one of the
few groups with good long term growth prospects. This is all outside
our work here but it does support our short term signal. We had a
very good week for ourselves and our clients as the increase in volatility
made the signals both easier to read and more substantial. The NDX,
comprised of many tech stocks, had a bad week dropping -2.7% but overall
is only off about 4% from its high. Our Market Structure level remains
negative and our T-Index is in the normal range and slightly to the deflationary

expect the drop to continue another day going into the weekend as fear
takes its toll on more sensitive stomachs. We continue to move inline with

have moved back to a fully long position for Wednesday. Tuesdays
drop was more than we expected but in line with our probabilities.
The longer term expectations under these still relatively low volatility
conditions is for a recovery rather than a crumbling market, but one must

Hot Money program is Short: 50% Rydex Inverse NDX 2x fund. High Exposure program is Short: 100% Rydex

All other programs 100% money
market. The NDX spiked higher on the open but
FB, AAPL, NFLX, GOOG and AMZN all closed lower bringing the index
down. The SPX managed a small gain. I do not know what drove the
techs lower, but for the last seven days the market has changed direction
from the previous day.

Our theory is sound and our direction is primarily long but we are nimble
and I expect to take full advantage of any downturn.

Current
position for Wednesday: High Exposure program is
Short: 100% Rydex Inverse NDX 2x fund.
All other programs 100% money market. The
drop in the last few minutes changed our signal, but too late to take a
position. This does not happen very often and the change often leads to a
false signal. Most likely cause of Tuesdays drop was the large drop in oil
prices. More scary was the US shooting down a Russian jet, but that
did not seem to be a concern since oil fell instead of going higher on a
war scare. One way (the wrong way) to convince everyone that there is no collusion
between the administration and Russia is to shoot down their jets. At the
same time it does help sell voters on increasing the military budget. It
is a dangerous action especially when we are already at odds with North
Korea and ISIS. Please pick up your free

pull-back in Friday ended with the NDX down a little over -1% for the

downdraft. We remain positive about the market as daily changes
remain small and interest rates low. Tax reform may get stalled but
that could be a good thing as a tax package might bring more homes on the
market sending prices lower and triggering another decline.

get caught in an extended downturn. The NDX has been down four of the past
five days, by contrast our Primary program was correct two out of three
days and in the money market the other two. We are now looking for a
small bounce in the NDX and a positive Friday often carries over into
Monday. The volatility has kicked up some, but remains under the long time
normal range and should support the market for the upside.

greater than -3.5% drop in oil prices held the market back early on but it
took the FED's decision to unwind their balance sheets while inflation is
below 2% to send it lower. The FED believes that they must use
this window of time to get out from the position that they took in 2008
even though the economy is not performing at a level that they would
consider dangerous and warrant the hawkish stance. We closed out all
long positions and moved some programs into a short or partial short
position. With the daily changes still relatively small the market should
recover from the past few days. Please pick up your free

The NDX has show both weakness and volatility over the past two days and
the index made a lower low on Monday. The automated trading programs have
now had two days to play, and the rush to the exits should be just about
over. Since this is happening under very low volatility initial
conditions there is still little fear and that should bring some rebound
money back into the high tech area on Tuesday. Please pick up your free

Current
position for Monday:
All programs 100% money market. The
House cut regulations on banks and Wall street Thursday and that sent
money out of tech and into the finance stocks Friday. At one point
the NDX was down more than -3.8%. It had a partial recovery near the
close. The move kicked up the volatility but it still remains in the
safe zone and the longer term direction remains up, however the market
could spend some more time this coming week testing Friday's low. A
down Friday more often than not means a down Monday. Our Market Structure
closed within one step of the transition zone and were it to go positive
would reinforce the longer term upside projection. Though I don't
like to see the daily moves get too large, the increase in volatility is
helpful to our program as the larger moves make the market even easier to
read.

the danger zone. The probabilities indicate that there is a good
chance for a second drop of over -1% and that should offset the strength
we see coming from this small-daily-change market.

took a long time for the "chaos that surrounds Trump" to impact
the market in a negative way and we will have to watch the size of the
daily market changes to get a better idea if the overall market direction
is changing to the down side. I expect a small market adjustment
higher for Thursday as is normal with the size of today's drop. Our Market Structure level has stepped
lower also increasing the chance for a positive result. Our signal
is positive and strong. The possibilities are large for major damage to
the Republican agenda and the squashing of its elected head. Which should
unwind the market gains of this year. On Tuesday our T-Index moved
from deflationary to normal and it continued in the normal direction
today. We will proceed one day at a time as always and step through
this new development. Investors get jittery around a week end so I expect
more down side over the next few days.

it was JC Penny's turn to get beat up and it lost -14%. The small
daily changes of the indices are keeping the market up, even with the
problems in Washington. But there are other lurking problems. The
biggest one is the world's dependence on the Internet. The internet of
2017 is not like the Internet of 1997, now almost everything depends on it
and it is becoming more vulnerable, not for lack of sophisticated
protection, but because bringing down the Internet would set the world
back more than 20 years. As more "things" become linked to the
internet every part of our lives could be headed for a crash, a crash much
more far reaching than a crash of the markets.

up-path. The NDX is however showing some overheating and a small
pause would be reasonable.

The market lunged higher during the last few minutes of the
trading day and looked like it may have overshot itself but earnings news
from the Tech sector was very positive and that should push the NDX
higher. Our programs are mostly in the money market for Friday with the
two that are still trading split on direction. Our Market Structure
level is negative and climbing, and once again it is getting close to the

The NDX fluttered about the zero
line and Trump displayed his tax plan. As expected it cut corporate
taxes a lot, putting the cart before the horse, as the stimulus is needed
at the bottom of the food chain. In that regard, his doubling of the
standard deduction is a good thing and aimed in the right place.
Boost the bottom and the money will flow back up into the corporations.
Only then should a corporate tax cut be considered. Meanwhile the
market should continue to make gains as the daily changes remain small,
corporate earnings are growing and revenues are not doing too bad
either. Please pick up your free

With the NDX hitting new highs over the doubt that Le Pen will win in
France and break up the EU, our signal has shifted to the down-side.
The Vix had a big drop and that reflects a rapid emotional shift to a

I did not like the market close as the NDX closed at the high of
the day. That generally means there was a blow off of enthusiasm and
little will be left over for the next day. When combined with our strong up-signal
probabilities remain positive but mild. Our signal is formed prior to the close to allow us to place a trade.
Volatility is increasing very slowly so conditions remain positive. The next few weeks of market

With the Syria
bombing causing only minor stock market disruption Trump went on to
super bomb Afghanistan. The reasons could be the stated ones
from the administration or attempts to impress China and intimidate North Korea,
or even trying to create a need for more military spending to support his

The current conditions of low interest rates and low volatility
support a rising market, however sometimes the market will still go
lower and we attempt to always be on the right side of the
probabilities. Monday's market started out higher quickly fell then

Tuesday. Our signal is strong but the probabilities are not going

largest down day in months hit the market Tuesday. The three main
financials JPM, BAC and GS averaged over 4% to the downside.
Probabilities have improved as our Anticipatory Trend has turned
long. We have gone long in that program keeping our exposure
unchanged in our other programs. The volatility has been too low for our
liking and this will give it a small nudge higher. The Russian links to
the administration could have been part of today's scare. Please pick up your free

is very negative and daily changes remain very small counter balancing
each other. Our programs are running smoothly with our newest

Our signal weakened and we reduced our exposure to the upside for
Friday. Seems like the market is looking at all news out of, or
about, the current administration as fake news, and ignoring it. Immigration
ban, wiretapping, Trump-care, Budget disruption, lots of smoke and no
substance, so the market continues without fear. But where's the
beef? Rising interest rates, volatility or an outside event
will eventually mark the end to this rally. Very small pull back on
Thursday after an early rise. Please pick up your free

Joyful response to the rate hike. The slight pull back at the end of the
day should leave some room for a small up-day on Thursday. We remain long

It looks like the market is expecting a small rate hike as T-Bills have
climbed a full quarter percent in the past few weeks. We are holding
our long signal. Our Market Structure level has fallen to nearly the
bottom of the range. This should leave us with fewer strong long

seen that number in a very long time. Shrinking volatility means

After two days of being short or neutral we have switched back to the
fully long side. This is still a low volatility low interest rate market
and the predominant direction is higher. T-bill rates have nearly
doubled since the election and that is in part due to the Fed and in part
due to lessening confidence in America. Please pick up your free

Our signal got stronger for Friday and we have gone fully long. SNAP
gained 44% on its first day listed but we will have to wait to see if that
ton of cash can be turned into a viable company. I did not buy
any. Our Market Structure level stepped lower, so far the market
looks like it can go higher into next week.

The positive response to Trumps speech helped the market to the best gain
since early December. The probabilities from our forecast page show
only little expected gain or loss for Thursday. Our Market Structure
level has again come within one step of moving into the positive
transition zone. On the opposite side the 90 day t-bill jumped
significantly today and if it continues long enough in that direction it
will be detrimental to the markets. For now we moved the
Anticipatory program into the money market along with the conservative
program and remain long in the others.

Sorry for the late post from yesterday. We did manage to grab the
downside and now most of our programs have returned to the upside except
for the anticipatory trend. Trump's speech is tonight so the response is
far from certain and a speech is a soft event rather than a hard event which
would be a tangible event like the outcome of an election.

percent or more in either direction. This is a strong positive for
the markets especially when combined with low interest rates, however when
other conditions align we can and do get "short" signals.
This is where we find ourselves for Tuesday. Trump will address
congress and there is a good chance that the rally will not pause, but
instead spike higher as it can when it is event driven. We don't
know what grandiose words he will say to sway the markets, we are
only reading what the market's data is telling us. And whatever

The NDX had a small drop on Thursday as the S&P and DJIA continued
higher. Our signal is now indicating a lean to the upside and we
moved partially long overall. Nothing has really changed regarding
the markets behavior, but it has made steady gains which makes it more
vulnerable to some outside negative influence, but we still do not see any
signs of immediate danger.

Closed out all positions on Wednesday's close.
Probabilities are mostly flat. There are currently more US car owners two
months or more behind on car payments than anytime since 2009. They
suspect that this is due to granting more credit to more people that have
poor credit scores and people buying more than they can pay for. US car
sales have been declining for the past two years.

The
dynamics remain the same and we are holding our reduced long
position.
I
read about the proposed Trump corporate tax plan in the Financial Times
today. The idea of supporting local employment is good in theory, but the
plan had some big holes. Importers would pay tax on the full selling
price of the items and not be able to deduct the purchase cost. This is
just wrong! Poorly thought out, and terrible for our economy.
Having importers pay a higher tax would be fine but not this. For one, the
whole group of stores like the 99c store chain that provides thousands of
jobs and inexpensive food for the needy would be greatly hurt, increasing
the burden back on the government and the tax payers. It is a
terrible idea that could be fixed with some non political thinking. And
this type of tax cut should be implemented over a number of years to allow
for the disruptions and job losses that would occur, while allowing US
companies to build the manufacturing plants necessary to fill the need. . Please pick up your free

our Anticipatory trend program has gone short while our more aggressive

Nothing prior to the close had
changed and we held our "fully long" position another day.
After the close AAPL announced great earnings and sales and caused the
stock and the aftermarket NDX futures to move higher. It is always
nice to get extra help with our forecasts. Markets remain calm and
overall trend remains up.

We moved back fully long after the
Monday dip. This is the first sign that the financial world is
concerned about what is happening in the White House. The immigration
order finally got some
investor attention. Republican law makers may have been able to
chuckle at the slew of executive orders spilling off of Trump's desk but
when their money is on the line they will pay attention. Any
extended drop in the market will be political cause for concern, but
for now it is just an isolated day, I expect to see the
markets back in bull mode by tomorrow.

pulled back on most of our programs going into Friday. The market is
behaving very well for us as well as for the buy and holds. Our High
Exposure (high expectations) program is now up over 10% ytd. I
expect the rally to continue with some spots of sluggishness. Goog
had good revenue growth but sputtered on earnings sending the tech stock
lower in the after-market. It should put a small drag on the NDX for
Friday. Please pick up your free

Our Market Structure is now at its lowest
level and will level off or go higher over the next few days. Either way
it should slow or stop major gains. The continued low interest rates and
low volatility should also prevent any sizeable declines. This
should be the situation for Friday and Monday. So far the market
players are cheering the President on, but he appears to be shooting from
the hip and one of these shots could be cause for a market reversal once
we see enough of an increase in volatility or interest rates. For the near
term at least it looks like the rally will continue. Please pick up your free

60% Rydex NDX 2x Fund. All
other programs are in the money market. Very
slow market. DC protests were contained and the markets continued
their ho-hum characteristics. Our Market Structure level continues lower
so over the next few weeks it should try to make its way back to
neutral. The path back should prevent the market from moving very
much in either direction. Please pick up your free

of nothing for volatility. If the inauguration
on Friday is uneventful this slow motion could continue for awhile. Our

but most of our programs are in the money market and probabilities are
looking somewhat mixed. Please pick up your free

Our Market Structure level fell away from
the transition zone and provided us with a strengthened "long"
signal. The market volatility remains very low going into the inauguration
on Friday. Netflix posted very strong numbers on new subscribers as
streaming media continues its take over from TV and the movies.

Current
position for
Monday: All programs
100% Money market. A strong opening week
for both ourselves and the markets. Our new high exposure program
did best and closed the week up +5.2%. Risk is directly related to
market exposure and this program is our most exposed with overall leverage
about 1.95 x that of the NDX. It is able to compensate for some of
the risks by being diversified over time. You will notice that our
forecast page has been updated to show long term compound annual rates of
return for all programs that have at least a year of real time history.
The table also shows how long the programs have been offered and actually run
with real money as well as the level of exposure risk over that time
period. For comparison the S&P 500 had an exposure risk of about
85%. Three of our long running programs have double
digit annual returns and our low exposure conservative program is showing strong
results greatly outperforming bonds. Our Charts have also been updated. For Monday our signals turned flat.
There should be more upside to this market as volatility remains low and
the Dow 20,000 is calling. Our Market Structure level remains
negative. Please pick up your free

The NDX has continued its rally and the
volatility has remained low, my expectation is for the rally to carry into
Friday and if that happens then probably Monday. This would not be
too unreasonable as the rest of the market has taken a break today and The
NDX is taking tiny steps. Please pick up your free

If you missed it we have added a new
program to our groups. It is the Anticipatory Trend program that we have
been using as one of our decision making components since early 2012
and often mentioned in our commentary for almost 5 years. This new
program was added because it uses fewer inputs and has a history of making
gains with low draw-downs. See side panel for description
details. The first day of the year was positive. Traders are
expecting more stimulus via tax cuts. We are fully
long. Please pick up your free
