WEEKEND REPORT

There is an old saying designed to help us avoid being fooled into believing that something is anything other than it really is. Maybe you are familiar with that saying, it goes like this...

“If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, it must be a duck” 

.

I think that this saying can also apply to a Bull too, or even when it comes to a Bull Market run.  Whether it is short term or longer term,  a Bull Run should be treated as one until it no longer looks like one. Another helpful saying in this regard has been , "Never short a Bull market".  Let's discuss a number of Bull Markets on the run here...

 

SPX - Well nothing has changed here and this is a weekly chart. This is a bull market and anyone trying to short this has been trampled down.

SPX - I have recommended just using a trailing stop to be able to continue riding this Bull ( UPRO, UDOW, TQQQ, ETC), and with these shallow sideways pull backs, the ride continued to another week of new highs.

 

Let's take a look at the DJIA too...

Something For Everyone

 The way the various sectors of the markets have been playing out, I would say that there is something out there for everyone.  We have 'short term trades', 'longer term set ups', 'trending runs', etc.

 

 Note:  Today is Friday,  the last day before another 3 day weekend in the U.S. Markets.  You may want to keep that in mind as you decide what you do or do not want to hold until Tuesday.

Wednesday Jan 10 – It’s Just A Pullback

 We will discuss the Miners and the current pullback after a quick review of various Market Sectors.

 .

SPX - This is often a topping candle, a reversal , but lately the SPX just drops down to the 10sma and may fill some gaps if it does.

January 6th – Weekend Update

Looking at SPX, DJIA, and the NASDAQ at the end of the week, and we basically see the uptrend remains on track. Using  a trailing stop has kept the 'longs' in the trade.  Some are riding UPRO, UDOW, TQQQ.

I wanted to point out the VIX again, however...

Oh, THAT’S What That Feels Like!

How timely was my article at the end of yesterdays morning report, discussing how sharply the Medical Marijuana stocks can sell off ? Holding those felt a lot like that ride in the opening Theme picture, but I am going to have a part 2 in todays report and discuss future buying opportunities in some of these companies again too.

Thursday Jan 4th

 

SPX #1 -  There are a few reasons that I do not believe that we just saw a DCL 2 days ago.  That means that I think we are on day 32, and we should still dip into a low soon.  I pointed out the area of the green arrow yesterday as an example.

JAN 3rd – Floating Markets!

 In that Theme picture, we see what is known by some as a floating market. Well, I think that many of us are seeing our own version of a floating market too.  Let's discuss out stocks market action in a few sectors of interest, as well as some individual Miners and Stocks.

 

SPX - The first day of trading in 2018 was a move higher on day 31. That MIGHT have been a dcl, but I am thinking that it was a continuation move similar to what I am pointing out in October with the blue arrow. If you are long, it doesn't matter, your trailing stop is still keeping you invested.

Weekend Report – So Many Beautiful Bulls

 

DJIA - We have discussed the parabolic nature of the general markets climb, and you can see that this continues. Riding UDOW or UPRO with a trailing stop would now have kept you in the trade for a long time.  Dips are quite shallow on a weekly basis.

 

I would keep this in mind going into January 2018 however ...
