Blog Post: Day 41 of $QQQ short term down-trend; $QQQ finishing Stage 3 and may begin Stage 4 decline; I never fight the market’s trend. Only young people can wait out a decline and recovery. I believe that Boomers belong on the sidelines, protecting their hard earned savings and investments.

QQQ’s 10 week average remains below the 30 wk average and the 30 week average is flat. If the 30 week should begin a decline, it will give the stage 4 signal that occurs at the beginning of a major decline. Last week, QQQ retraced to its 4 week average, as expected. I am mostly in cash on the sidelines.

The GMI remains on a RED signal.

 

Blog post: Day 40 of $QQQ short term down-trend; Daily modified Guppy chart told you to get out of $RH long before Wednesday’s 19% drop. All major indexes remain in BWR down-trends. See $USO RWB up-trend.

Just look at a modified daily Guppy chart before buying or selling. A picture is worth a thousand words, or dollars. Ignore the fundamentals and stories. Just look at the stock’s behavior. I am sorry for those who are holding RH. In an up-trend all of the red lines must be rising well above the blue lines=RWB, see chart of USO. The dotted line shows the daily closes.

I do not reenter the market on the long side until the moving averages indicate an up-trend with the 4wk avg>10wk avg>30wk avg.The rally this week might offer the last chance to get out or trim holdings. Then again, if this is a true bottom I will have plenty of time to get long again. Real up-trends last months. I never fight the tape. Look  at this chart and see how nice it is to be long when the 4wk>10wk>30wk.  The GMI=0. When GMI= 5 or 6 my long setups are more likely to work.
