GMI: 5; 78% of Nasdaq 100 stocks down since 2/22

@ 12:01 am

The GMI is still 5, and the QQQQ is in its Gmi0330 third day in its short term down-trend.  Furthermore, the QQQQ,  SPY  and DIA index ETF’s have all closed below their 10 week averages.  During such periods I am unlikely to make money by staying long.  The 30 day average for the QQQQ has now completed a rounding top and is now declining.  Since the Nasdaq 100 index reached its closing peak on February 22, that index has declined 4.16% and 78% of the Nasdaq 100 component stocks closed Friday below their close on 2/22; one half are down 5% or more from 2/22.  Don’t fight the trend of the indexes–go with the odds.

GMI: 5?

@ 12:07 am

The GMI declined to 5, as it looks like the Daily QQQQ Index is probably negative.  Only 3-16% of the stocks in the Nasdaq 100, S&P 500 and Dow 30 Indexes rose on Wednesday.  Gmi0328 While I usually like to see two down days before I call a down-trend, the index looks so weak that I am comfortable calling the change in trend.  The QQQQ and SPY are now below their 10 week averages. I am closing out my long positions.
