2/2/2018 Peerless is now on a Sell S9. In on-going bull markets, the original 2007
bull market Sell S9 variant dropped the DJI below the lower band in 7 of 11 past cases when it
would have been applied in January and February. With the DJI not having had a bear market's
18% or more DJI decline since March of 2009, lots of investors are now worried that
a 8.5%-14% correction, at least, is now under way. Certainly, I would expect Friday's very
steady deep decline to spill over to Monday and beyond.
I have added this Sell S9 variation to the regular Peerless. It will be available to Elite Subscribers
on Monday. Here is its track record and its coded requirements.
I suspect the DJI will not rebound much until it reaches its rising 65-dma, about 800 points
below Friday's close. A successful double-test of the rising 65-dma did take place in September
1987, whereon the DJI rallied to its upper band with all negative internals. This is what generated
the October 1987 S9. The DJI then utterly collapsed after the newly appointed Fed Chairman, Alan
Greenspan, went ahead with a rate hike to defend the Dollar.
A comparison of the DJI's recent top now with the one in August 1987 seems appropriate.
Then like now, there had been a long bull market and a correction was also long over-due. Then
like now, the Dollar had turned quite weak and this invited the FED to raise interest rates. Then,
too, we had a new Federal Reserve Chairman. He got his baptism in fire when the stock market
cried like a baby for a hand-out after falling 37% in just two months.
1987 Support at Rising 65-dma
True, our internals are not so negative as in 1987, but certainly the political situation now is much more
divided and dangerous for investors, I would judge. Republicans in 2018 will need to prevent a deep
decline if they wish NOT to lose many Congressional seats in the Fall Election. As of a week ago,
their polls seemed to be rising as the stock market's gains were lifting 401K retirement accounts. But a
serious decline now would change this. The problem now is it's not clear how they can go about the
fiscal pumping up of the market any more. Of course, the FED could provide lot of new liquidity, but
Trump campaigned against this. Even quickly passing a big Infrastructure spending bill may not do
the job if the bond market tanks as a result of Debt and Inflation concerns. Far-sighted investors
have no choice but to be quite cautious now. So should we.
Conclusion: Stay clear of the major market ETFs unless you are already short them.
If you have not already, Sell any stock whose Closing Power uptrends are violated. Add more
bearish MINCPs short sales.
Weaker Openings Now Cannot Be A Good Sign
For years the DJI has been boosted by higher openings. If that pattern changes now, I would
fear this will be a very bad sign for the stock market.
Lower Openings Have Led The DJI Down This Last Week,
Don't Fight This Down-Trend.
"Buy at the Close and Sell at the Opening." (Rising Opening Power and Falling Closing Power)
At long last, the New York Times has finally taken note of our findings. Now that they have,
I would suggest that this Tiger short-term trading technique may no longer work:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/02/your-money/stock-market-after-hours-trading.html?emc=edit_th_180204&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=58223894
Since SPY's inception in 1993, "all of ...(its) price gain since 1993 has come outside regular trading hours...
If you had bought the SPY at the last second of trading on each business day since 1993 and sold at the
market open the next day — capturing all of the net after-hour gains — your cumulative price gain
would be 571 percent. On the other hand, if you had done the reverse, buying the E.T.F. at the first
second of regular trading every morning at 9:30 a.m. and selling at the 4 p.m. close, you would be down
4.4 percent since 1993. "

===============================================================================
2/1/2018 The evidence from tonight's research is compelling that we should consider a
revised Sell S9 to have occurred on Tuesday's close. See below. There have
been 11 of these revised S9s in January and February in rising markets since 1929.
All 11 brought declines to the lower 3% band. 7 of the 11 brought declines below
the lower 3.5% band. The Futures are already dropping sharply. This probably
has something to do with the necklines of head/shoulders being broken. It has to do with
Trump's political difficulties. But there is a lot more at stake, as I discuss below.
A DJI decline back to its 65-dma and the lower 3% next seems highly likely. There
should be very good support there.
All this week I have suggested we should expect the DJI to retreat from its very
overbought position. In particular, I noted that the recent rally has brought a
gain that more than matches the average gain after a September Buy B21 and
so profits should be taken, rather than be too greedy. The deterioration of
breadth was mentioned as a bearish factor. Monday and Tuesday both were
days when the number of NYSE decliners was more than 4 times the number of
advancers. As a result, on January 30th, the P-I and the V-I turned negative.
Since the DJI closed down at only the 1.3% upper band, no Peerless S9 was given
on January 29th. But back in the days before 2008, Peerless also used its
hypothetical high in relation to the 21-day ma. I believe that is why a Sell S9
using the 2007 version of Peerless was given.
I do not have the source code for the 2007 version of Peerless. But I tested the
following parameters for January and February when the DJI was near its 12 month
highs and not in a bear market:
1) Close/21-dma must be above 1.013
2) Theoretical High/21-dma must be above 1.026
3) P-Indicator must be negative.
4) V-Indicator must be negative.
There were 11 of the 2007-like variations on our classic Sell S9. All brought declines to
at least the 3% lower band. Six saw paper losses, all under 5%. But most significantly,
7 of the 11 produced a DJI decline below the lower 3.5% band.
1) 1/30/1929 312.64 DJI rallied to 322.1 and then fell to lower 3.5% band.
2) 2/28/1929 317.4 DJI fell directly to the lower 3.5% band.
3) 2/15/1935 104.7 DJI rose to 107.2 and then fell to lower 3.5% band.
4) 2/11/1937 190.3 DJI rose to 194.4 (3/10) and then fell below lower 3.5% band.
5) 1/3/1939 153.6 DJI fell directly below lower 3.5% band.
6) 1/9/1946 197.37 DJI rose to 206.6 and then fell below lower 3.5% band.
7) 2/1/1955 409.7 DJI rose to 419.7 and then fell below lower 3.5% band.
8) 1/3/1973 1939 DJI fell directly far below lower 3.5% band.
9) 2/13/1980 903.84 DJI fell directly far below lower 3.5% band.
10) 1/13/1999 9349.55 DJI fell directly to lower 3.0% band.
11) 1/7/2000 11522.56 DJI rose to 11722.98 and then fell far below the 3.5% lower band.
What To Do?
Take profits in longs. Do not let a gain turn into a loss. Sell when the steep Closing Power
uptrends are violated. Sell some of the bearish MINCP stocks short. Because of Boeing's
unduly large impact on the DJI, I am reluctant to suggest shorting DIA.
January's JOBs' Numbers Are Unusually Important
The Fed's postponing a rise in interest rates until March did not help dividend stocks.
Investors again quickly unloaded utilities' stocks, REITs and bond funds Thursday.
The explanation is simple. Rates have been very, very low. Now they will almost
certainly be going up. Trump's tax cuts and increased spending on the military, domestic
security and, possibly, infrastructure has many big investors in bonds really spooked.
But there is a much bigger storm approaching. It has to do with the Trump's wager
on the strong and the power of "trickle-down" economics. What if the Economy does not
get as big a boost as Republicans are expecting from Trump's economic agenda? That
could cause a big turnover in Congressional seats. It conceivably could even cause the
Democrats to regain control of the House of Representatives. That has to be on Republican
investors' minds. I believe this is why the DJI, SP-500, Mid-Caps, QQQ and NASDAQ
have all quickly formed compact little head/shoulders price patterns.
If I am right, then tomorrow's Jobs' numbers for January have taken on a special significance.
They wobble and fluctuate, of course, month to month. But anything short of a really good
number, say above 210,000 for new jobs could be politically troublesome. Ordinarily, a
low number, one that is less than 12 months ago and also the previous month,
can sometimes be viewed as a cause for the Fed to delay raising interest rates. But not
only has the Fed largely guaranteed a raise in short-term rates in March, now a low number
of new monthly jobs, below, say 150,000 would mean economic Growth is probably not
good enough to boost Republicans' political fortunes, especially in the Midwest "rust belt".
So tomorrow's January Jobs' numbers will be important for partisans and for the stock
market, too. The new numbers will be reported an hour before the NYSE opens. Below are
current numbers which we will use for comparison.

1/31/2018 I have suggested doing some profit-taking and waiting for a pullback by the DJI
to buy again. In this way, we can again be positioned long to be consistent with
the still active September Buy B21. That the 10-day Down Volume has risen above the 10-day
Up Volume suggests this seems a good plan. So does the break in the NYSE
A/D Line uptrend, which warns us that interest rates are on the rise. It remains
to be seen if the DJI will decisively break below the near-term support at 25800;
such is the power of an accelerating uptrend. So patience seems warranted as
far as the DJI goes. A continued decline in Crude Oil and oil stocks would contribute
to a bigger DJI sell-off, so watch them now.
Should We Have Gotten an S9 on Tuesday?
An alert subscriber just emailed me, saying that the 2006 version of Peerless would
have given a Sell S9 yesterday. There is no time tonight to back-test it for January
and February. And I lost the source code for this version of Peerless some time ago.
But the current version gives no such Sell S9 and I would trust the current Peerless because
I know how many hours went into back-testing all of its signals. See 2006 version's chart.
Still, tomorrow I will show this old S9's track record for this time of the year. No time
tonight.
I still doubt if rising interest rates are ready to bring a much bigger decline.
The bad breadth on the NYSE, so far, owes mostly to weak dividend plays, bond
funds, REITs and utilities. I would suggest that an economic slow-down is not in the
cards, judging from the still rising A/D Line for the SP-500 stocks shown below.
The leading tech stocks (NVDA, GOOG, MSFT and AMZN) seem not to be
bothered by the prospects of higher interest rates. And so the NASDAQ and
QQQ show very high levels of underlying Accumulation. This suggests ample
support and only a limited pullback at this time. These stocks, QQQ and the
NASDAQ are "tightly held". Because of this, I would Buy QQQ if it makes a
run now and destroys its bearish-looking head/shoulders pattern. This will
bring on another short-covering burst upwards.
There are a number of very special biotech situations that look bullish. We see
them in the Bullish MAXCPs tonight. The star performer is Madrigal. Its preliminary
trials for a novel way to treat fatty livers not caused by drinking has had a high degree of
success. While trials are always limited. the stunning results its drug is getting
would occur less than once in 10,000 randomized samples. It used to be a $300
stock. It is still only half of that price. We will watch to see who makes a bid for it.
It epitomizes what we always hope to find using our Explosive Super Stock screens.
If someone came up to me and wanted one stock to buy, this is what I would pick
for him.

==============================================================================
1/30/2018 The Peerless September Buy B21 has not been reversed. But a bigger pullback than
we have seen so far would seem healthy and likely. Tomorrow's recovery will be
partisan-inspired. The State of The Union Message is mostly a political cheer-leading
event. For this reason, the DJI may stall out soon after it closes the downside gap in
today's trading. A run up to 26400 would do this.
Bulls, the animal that is, are actually color-blind like most four-legged animals. So, it is the
movement of the cape that gets them in trouble, not the color. We should not be fooled now by
a sudden lurch upwards. Buying on a decent pullback will be safer unless Peerless first
generates a Sell signal. That could happen. We might get a Sell at DJI-26600 later this
week since both the the P-Indicator and V-Indicators are now negative. As the DJI is
currently 1.3% over the 21-dma, a 300 point rally up from here on poor breadth and
low up-volume could bring a Sell S9.
Possibly good earnings this week for tech stocks, AAPL, GOOG and AMAZON will lift
the NASDAQ, though profit-taking on the positive news seems just as likely. Trump's
promise to take on the Drug Companies and their high prices may bring about some weakness
on the NASDAQ, too.
Did you know that the City of New York is suing fossil fuel companies for keeping to
themselves knowledge of their role in causing man-made global warming? Seems far-fetched,
right? But oil stocks have turned weak.
I am always ruminating on historical parallels. Trump's tax cut and de-Regulation are right
out of the 1920s, from the play-books of Harding and Coolidge. The policies' parallels here
are quite close. Along with low interest rates and margin requirements, these policies
produced the extraordinary bull market of the 1920s. But there are two important differences.
The first is the absence now of many, many new consumer goods. In the 1920s cars, radios,
refrigerators, washing machines... were all relatively new. The second difference is in the area
of consumer credit. At the start of the 1920s boom, consumer credit was relatively new and
consumers were not as tapped out as they are now. This means the dangers of over-production
and lack of consumer demand do over-hang the market. Most people need credit, a lot of
it, to buy a new car. We should watch Ford's stock. See below. If tariffs on auto imports are
not enacted, Ford is in trouble. The American market is already shrinking because credit
is harder to get now than in the past.
On balance, the bullish parallels are still much more weighty. The tax cuts have not yet had a
chance to work their "voo-doo" magic and there has not yet been a take-over binge. So, let's
plan to buy on a 5%-7% dip from here.
Today was the second day in a row when the ratio of NYSE decliners to advancers
was more than 4:1. This should reinforce our resolve not to chase the market at this
point. So should the fact that there were substantially more new lows than new highs
today on the NYSE and the NASDAQ. See Table 2.

==============================================================================
1/29/2018 Let's not be too greedy in here. That could get us in trouble. Take some
profits. There are many big "Red Popsicles" in Table 1. Table 2 shows us
that Professionals are doing a lot of dumping now. MAXCPs outnumbers
MINCPs by a wide margin and the number of new lows is quite high
considering that the DJI is only one day away from its high. It is even conceivable
that a new Peerless Sell signal could be devised that tests well and fit in here.
The ratio of declining stocks to advancing stocks was 4.4 today. This shows
a big rush to sell by Professionals. What are they afraid of?
Peerless has given no Sell signal, but how can taking some very ripe profits hurt?
That seems only prudent, I admit. So go ahead. But understand that we may
only be able to re-enter at a higher price.
Today the number of NYSE decliners (2467) were 4.429 times the number of
advancers (557). Clearly there was a rush to sell dividend shares. But it was more
than that. Interest rates rising are only one explanation. Another is that Trump is now
in deeper political trouble than before A third is that investors are afraid of a bad surprise from
Trump's State of The Union message Tuesday night. Adding some bearish MINCPs
short sales to hedge with will help.
There is a good chance that the DJI will fall no further than the 21-dma. Of course, that
is still a 3% decline. Such a poor breadth ratio like we saw today with the DJI so far above
the 21-day ma, 3% now, is quite rare. Only once in the five earlier cases with the DJI more
than 2% over the 21 day ma, did the DJI break below the 21-dma by as much as the 3% lower
band. So, the odds of a 6% or more decline now are, perhaps, only 20%. This would
seem to suggest that we should ride out the current decline. But why take a chance?
You have nice profits from the Buy B21, take them. As of today's close, the September
B21 has gained +18.6% on the DJI. This is a percent higher than they have averaged
in the past. Let's not be greedy.
============================================================================
==========================================================================
==========================================================================
A decline is certainly indicated. Below see all the cases of such poor breadth when the
DJI was simply above the 21-dma. Only in 34% of the cases, did the storm of selling
quickly pass. In 55% of the cases, such poor breadth was followed by a decline to
at least the 2% lower band, but sometimes much lower..
Below are all the cases of such a poor breadth ratio since 1945. Note that "la/ma" shows
how far the DJI is above the 21-dma. "Bad" means this case would have failed as a sell signal
because the DJI advanced significantly without even a decline to the 21-dma. "Good" means
a sell signal here would have brought a decline to the lower 2% band, at least. "Flat" means
a sell signal here would have stopped the rally for 3 weeks or more.
There have been 38 cases of such poor breadth since 1945 with the DJI above the 21-dma.
in 21 (55%) cases, the DJI fell at least to the lower 3% band but in 13 (34%) instances, the DJI
quickly rallied significantly. In the remaining 4, the DJI hesitated for a few weeks and then
rose significantly. This would seem to argue for some profit-taking now, especially when our
profits are so big.

1/26/2018 The September Peerless Buy B21 and the recent Buy B18 both predict higher prices.
All the key major market ETFs are running in all-time high territory above the most
likely resistance lines. Each of these shows a rising Closing Power and a 5-day ma.
Hold your long positions. Largely avoid the short side.
There has recently been a string of weak openings in the market on Monday mornings
followed by renewed strength. That appears to be building up here. Perhaps, the market
is a little nervous about the President's State of the Union Speech, or perhaps about earnings
this week. In either case, the accelerating uptrend should make any decline very brief.
Traders should still be buyers on weakness. I would favor stocks whose Closing Powers
are making new highs, show steady Accumulation (AI/200>150) and high recent accumulation
(IP21>.30). In this market, I would not buy laggards like CMG. Here are examples
of stocks and an ETF that might be bought on weakness.
ENTA 78.32 AI/200=179 IP21=.46 Closing Power at high.
NYT 22.95 AI/200=166 IP21=.512 Closing Power at high.
TDG 314.13 AI/200=151 IP21=.38 Closing Power at high
UDOW 116.82 AI/200=163 IP21= .443 Closing Power at high.

1/25/2018 More research on yesterday's Buy B18 signal shows it was unusually
powerful back in the second and sixth years of the Eisenhower Presidency.
The parallel with now is that the Trump Administration may also succeed
in launching a huge program of infrastructure spending. See in Table A below
the huge DJI gains on the Buy B18s in 1954 and 1958 at the time of the next Sell:
+56.1%, +34.0%, +28.7%, +21.8%, +16.4%. Of course, Trump may still
fail to get the infrastructure program funded and passed. Such a failure would
almost certainly end the current upswing. In this vein, note how small the B18s'
gains were under Reagan and Bush II, also Republicans:
+2.5%. +7.6%, -0.6%, +4.8%, +3.3% +4.5%. (+3.7% on average.
(See also the older research on the B18s here: http://www.tigersoft.com/2018/Buy-B18.html )
Today was a strange day in the market. The DJI rose 1/2%, but the NASDAQ
fell and there were 252 more down than up on the NYSE. The DJI-30 got
disproportionately big boosts again from its three high priced and heaviest weighted
components: BA, GS and MMM. They accounted for more than 100 points of
the DJI's total gain. In the past year, we have not found days like this to be bearish.
The A/D Line can lag for a day without mattering. In fact, the Buy B18 is based on
exceptional NYSE breadth strength.
What about earlier? Has it been bearish in the past when the DJI closed
3.5% above the 21-day ma on a 1/2% advance with more up than down on the
NYSE? Since 1965, there were just four past instances where the DJI closed 3.2%
to 4% over the 21-day ma, rose by more than 0.4% from the previous day and there were
at least 150 more down than up on the NYSE. 3 of 4 were very near a tradable top.

"The Ruling on the Field" (the Peerless Buy B21/B18) Stands
(This is a reference to how US National Football handles coaches'
challenges to the rulings by the games' referees. It is, after all, almost Super Bowl time. )
The conclusion one might reach from this is that there is a 75% chance of a decline to the
lower band in the next two months. But without a regular Peerless Sell signal, I
would rather trust the extraordinary upward momentum and only suggest shorting
some of the bearish MINCPs if you want to hedge. Hold all the major market
ETFs. After all, the NYSE A/D Line is still in an uptrend; there are 10x more new highs
than new lows (Table 2); the key major market ETFs still show rising Closing Powers and
5-day moving averages (Table 1) and 40 of our sectors show more than 50% of their
stocks above their 65-dma as opposed to only 6 that bearishly show the opposite.
I still think we are going to get some 500-point up-days or even a 1000-point up-day
to bring about a buying climax to this amazing bull market.

1/24/2018 The DJI's runaway rise finally produced a "continuation" Buy B18 to confirm
the importance of the current advance, just in case we had not noticed. The good
news here is that Buy B18s in the second year of a 4-year Presidential cycle
are particularly bullish. They average an additional gain of 15% on the DJI.
The Buy B18's rules are simple. They occur when the P-Indicator has been positive
for 41 straight days. The OBVPct must be at least +.152 and the V-I must be above
+7. They also cannot easily occur in the Summer months.
The Buy B18 gives us a chance now to see what might happen next if market history
approximately repeats. If we only look at the 7 cases since 2000, then we find that the
average additional gain after the B18 was only 4.5% on the DJI at the time of the next
Peerless Sell. For all 50 cases, the average additional gain is roughly +12%. (I will
re-compute this tomorrow night). The biggest paper loss since 2000 was only 2.1%.
If we consider all 50 cases, we see that the earlier B18s were quite powerful. The first 6,
up until 1944, all gained more than 10%. So, perhaps a look not at the average gains
for the whole period but at the biggest losses will show us something of the risk now,
such as it is. The paper losses were 2.6% or less in 45 of the 50 earlier B18s, 90%
of the time. The biggest paper loss was 5.4% on 1/3/2002. The next biggest loss was
3.4% on 1/11/2006. So, we should consider any retreat to the 21-day ma from here to be
a buying opportunity. (More on the B18 tomorrow night. See the earlier research I did
on this signal here: http://www.tigersoft.com/2018/Buy-B18.html )
Of course, there may not even be such a decline. The red candle-sticks (Table 1 below)
may not be meaningful. All the major market ETFs show rising Closing Powers
and 5-day moving averages and we still have not had a 500-point or a 1000-point
up-day to draw in all on-lookers and produce a buying climax.
Dollar Is Being Sent Downward by Trump Administration.
A Test of Its Long Term Support at 21 Seems Likely..
Today brought a sharp decline in the Dollar, which made a three year low. As a
result, Crude Oil, Gold and Silver rose while REITS, Utilities and Bonds were
again weak. Trump's policies will bring Inflation and higher Interest Rates sooner
than we would have expected two years ago. But we won't worry for the market
until interest rates rise considerably over 3% . That will be the time to worry. Until
then, a policy to deliberately weaken Dollar invites traders to buy growth stocks and
foreign ETFs while shorting the Dollar.
Avoid weakening dividend plays. Altogether, 42 of the 46 sectors we follow in Table 4
have the majority of their stocks bullishly positioned above their 65-dma. This is a
very broad advance.
There is a reason that Treasury Secretaries never openly call for a weaker Dollar.
It makes it very hard to finance more national Debt and encourages Inflation.
But that is what Treasury Secretary Mnuchin did today. We are already short the Dollar.
Now traders will see there is little upside risk in shorting it. This will also boost Crude Oil,
which should be bought. Gold and Silver should go higher, but they have a lot more
overhead resistance. When Inflation really takes hold, stocks will be much preferred over
bonds. Low priced stocks should go wild, as they did in 1968. But rather than buying US
stocks, many investors will buy growth stocks in overseas markets, particularly China.

1/23/2018 The September Peerless Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices.
The tech ETFs (TECL, SOXL and QQQ) are soaring above all resistance.
All the major ETF show rising Closing Powers and rising 5-dma. Don't sell
these or DIA and SPY. It looks like they could go much higher.
Trump's economic policies are very much responsible, as hard as it is for
some commentators to admit it. Of course, Obama's policies set the stage
for this runaway market, too and the developing world-wide Bull Market
should sustain our bull market, barring a trade war. Chinese ETFs are leading
this advance and YINN is the best of them. Buy YINN.
The Size of China's Retail Market Has Just Overtaken The US's
For example, 24 million cars were sold in China while 17 millions were sold in the US. China's
rapid growth rate ensures that this trend will almost certainly continue. Global investors should
be considering Chinese stocks and ETFs now. 3x leveraged YINN is the simplest way to play
boom. It is headed back to 65 short-term. It is the strongest performing ETF now by a wide margin,
A world-wide economic boom is taking place now. YINN seems to me the best way to play it.
YINN is immediately headed back to its highs near 60. With the Dollar declining, YINN has even
more appeal. I think it will breakout past that 60-resistance. At that point, we may well see an even
wider and more speculative advance in Chinese stocks.
Over the last ten years, the per capital average income in China has risen from $2000 to $8000.
Average real wages here have stagnated despite the boom in the stock market. This is not a story
that the American mass media talks much about, but it is a story that the now falling US Dollar attests to.
There is a world economic boom taking place.

1/22/2018 The September Peerless Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices.
The major ETFs all show bullish (blue) Quicksilver components. The rally
should continue into February and quite possibly much longer unless
Trump's announcements of tariffs today quickly starts a TRADE WAR.
That could happen, but not overnight. So, the bull market should be
able to ride out whatever turbulence the White House brings into the
picture. However, the Planet is not happy. A very big earthquake is
reported in Alaska. I fear the "big one" is getting closer.
( https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/trump-tariffs-will-save-some-solar-jobs-and-destroy-others/2018/01/22/756feb60-fca2-11e7-8f66-2df0b94bb98a_story.html?utm_term=.563dc68816e2 )
.
The big Techs are the leaders once again. Look at TECL and TQQQ
A number of speculative biotechs are making new highs with confirming
Closing Power and IP21s. See the Bullish MAXCPs for ideas in this vein.
Otherwise, I would buy GOOG. Its smart phones are competitively priced
and the new models it showed at the Las Vegas COMDEX have many special
features, including voice recognition, that allow automated search of GOOGLE
and YOUTUBE. See:

Today, the Democrats "caved". As if to prove that they really are the
"Party of Big Government", they just could not bring themselves to prolong a
government shut-down. After the ends of each of the past shut-downs (January 1986,
Fall of 2011 and February 2013, the markets always rose. And so it did today.
Now what? For how long?
The DJI's accelerating uptrend most closely resembles the markets of 1915
when the US very profitably exported vast amount of war materials to Britain
and France and 1954-1955 when Eisenhower launched the Interstate Highway's
Infrastructure federal spending. In both cases, the DJI showed a hyperbolic
rise on a standard (arithmetically scaled) DJI chart. After the parabolic uptrend-line
was broken the 1915 bull market went into a sidewise 13% deep corrective phase
until August 1916 when it took off again and made its final new highs when President
Wilson was re-elected. What stopped the 1915 hyperbolic uptrend was Inflation,
tighter money and fears that the US would be drawn into the actual fighting of World
War I.
The Eisenhower bull market, 1952-1957 had three 10% corrections before
inflation fears and higher interest rates finally stopped it in July 1957. So, it's a
good bet that inflation will cause the much higher interest rates and the end of the
Trump Bull Market. It will not just be that labor costs will become higher.
It will be also be because of tariffs, higher oil prices and raw materials'
shortages which will be the result of world wide economic growth, which is
presaged now by the bullish trends in foreign ETFs.

=============================================================================
1/19/2018 The September Peerless Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices.
The stalemate over the terms of a raise in the Debt Limit continues, quite predictably,
with both parties more interested in blaming the other than producing a workable compromise.
Conceivably, it may take a lowering of the US credit or decline by Wall Street to get them|
to work together. But right now, there is still no Peerless Sell.
The current Peerless key values historically match with 3 past cases. In 2 of the 3, a January
top was quickly fell and the DJI fell 3% and 6%. The drop in the V-I Indicator to +26 on
Friday from +101 on Wednesday is what has now technically tilted the odds in favor of
another shallow decline. Short-term, much will depend on the negotiations between the
Democrats and Republicans, who I can't believe want to risk even a week-long government
shut-down. Trump is the rogue element here. He has said that the bureaucrats in Washington
"could use a good shut-down". But the key consideration here remains the extreme
corporate profitability of this new year. That will not change and historically profitability is
the single most important factor that vectors the market's moves.
Some weakness here is also suggested by seasonality. Going back to 1965, we find that the
DJI has risen only 46.2% of the time over the two weeks following January 21st and only
48.1% of the time over the next four weeks. The average decline was 0.9% over the next
month.
I doubt if the strongest stocks will be much affected but selling short some of the Bearish
MINCP stocks as a short-term hedge might give some peace of mind while we wait to see
what happens in Washington. Traders of the key ETFs should probably just hold their
positions. DIA, SPY, QQQ, COMPQX and IWM all show rising Closing Powers and
5-day moving averages. See Table 1 below. Let's see if a weak Monday opening can
be turned around by the end of the day. That would be bullish.

It also provides a useful short-term outlook of these sectors ETF's and the sectors they represewnt
Blue is Bullish and Red is Bearish.
1 Candle-Stick color is shortest-term. This changes when close vis-a-vis opening changes.
So, in stocks or ETFs that advanced a long ways, traders should sell when a higher
opening gives way to a decline that brings a drop below the previous day's close.
2 5-dma AROC and Close-versus- pivot point is next most short-term.
W = warning. Close is below PIVOT-Point.
3 Closing Power trend-direction vs. its 21-dma is next most short-term.
4 IP21 is used to spot divergences and to estimate underlying support.
5 > IP21 falling and below +.15 and its 21-dma is bearish in an over-extended ETF, especially
when its Closing Power is falling and is below its 21-dma.
> IP21 below 07 with AROC below .07 is less likely to bring a rally back up from 21-dma.

1/18/2018 Why Does It Take 60 Votes in the Senate To Get A Federal Budget?
That Constitutional Issue again Overhangs the stock market and will almost
certainly bring a government shut-down. This has grabbed the news now and
traders took more juicy profits today. But I would argue against doing that,
at least for now.
The September Peerless Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices.
Given the key values we saw yesterday and today, the odds are 3:1 that the
DJI will make new highs before it peaks preparatory to a decline to the
lower band. See tonight's Table A and Table B. But the Debt Limit lessons
of 2011 and 2013-2014 do suggest that ultimately it may take a market sell-off
in a few months to cause our political leaders to finally forge a compromise that
avoids a US Government default on its debt and a lowering of its credit rating.
Note that does not mean the stock market will not reach more new highs first
even though there are some lay-offs and suspensions of Federal benefits in the
next month.
The news will be dominated by the Budget Crisis for the next few days, weeks
and possibly months. The history of the last Budget Crisis, 2013-2014 suggests there
may have to be a sell-off to the lower band before the politicians are then forced to
reach agreement and the Federal Debt limit is raised. But before the brinksmanship
reaches this level of a crisis, the DJI may make more new highs. That was the primary
lesson from the last Crisis. As long as the V-Indicator remained positive, the market
at end of 2013 was reasonably safe and ours should be safe, too.
In the 2011 Debt Limit crisis, the top occurred in August after the V-I turned negative
with the DJI at the upper band and the credit rating of US debt instruments
were about to be lowered. This caused the timely Peerless S9V then.
2011
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_debt-ceiling_crisis_of_2011
2013-2014
Who Do The Politicians Listen Most Closely to?
The 2011 and 2014 Experiences Suggest Wall Street Is The Answer.
(Of course, this is also the lesson of 2009-2010 as well as the lesson
of December 1913 when the Federal Reserve was first established.)
Currently the DJI is 3.4% above the upper band. It appears not to have escaped
the gravity of the 3.5% upper band. The reason is the looming shut-down of
the federal US Government because our two dominant political parties cannot
agree on what to do about the children of illegal immigrants and present law
requires Congress to approve an increase in the limit on Federal Debt which
has now been reached. The Democrats are tying this issue to the raising of the
Deficit Limit just as Republicans attempted to do the same in 2013 by demanding
a reduction in food stamps and an increase the age of retirement for Social Security
recipients before voting to increase the Deficit Limit back then. There was no
agreement for months. The Treasury furloughed non-essential employees.
Five months later, a separate bill was passed by Congress to increase the
Debt Limit high enough so that this would not be an issue for two years. The
rating of US government securities was not effected. It took a sharp sell-off by
the DJI to get the politicians to compromise.
Why would it be any different now? Possibly because the Republicans view
a rising stock market to be essential to their political success.
During this 5-month standoff, the DJI rallied 10%, from 15000 to 165500
before selling off in January after a feeble Santa Claus rally (S16) and
a negative V-I reading. The quick decline in January took it down to the 5.1% lower
band from the 3% upper band on 12/31/2013. Note that it took 3 months of
Budget Crisis and temporary furloughs before the DJI declined seriously.
Apparently, it was the falling stock market that most motivated Congress
and the President to reach agreement. This may be the way the crisis is
finally solved now, but I doubt it. I suspect the Republicans will "blink" first.

1/17/2018 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. The DJI's
accelerating uptrend will likely angle up at an even faster rate. But a breather
and some profit-taking now would come as no surprise. The ratio of new highs to
new lows has slipped quite a bit over the last two days and the percent of all stocks
above their 65-dma actually fell 3% today.
But don't look for much of a decline. The thing about parabolic up-trends is that
all the declines are usually shallow and short-lived until the market or stock goes
truly vertical. By this I mean, we should expect a 500-point or 1000-point DJI
up-day. This is not a random-walk market anymore. This is a market whose
"animal spirits" have been awakened and starting to run wild.
The DJI, of course, is led by Boeing (BA) which is rising in its own accelerating uptrend.
Like the DJI it has come a long way without a single correction. It appears to be very
tightly held. No one knows where to sell and everyone of its shareholders wishes
they had bought more. Until it announces a stock split, it should go higher. Note
how the optimized lower band for BA is just 2.5% while its upper band is 8.5%.
The ratio of the optimized upper band to the lower band will be made into a TigerSoft
screening tool. More on this tomorrow night.
TigerSoft's "Rocket Ratio" for Boeing = 8.5/2.5 or 3.4
In aerospace engineering, the rocket ratio is a measure of the efficiency
of a rocket when the weight of more or less propellant is added. Our
ratio shows efficiency, too. A stock that pulls back very little and rises
much more should usually be favored, especially if the marginal rocket
ratio is increasing.
And lest you think the DJI can't go much higher, look at AAPL. If it can breakout
above its flat-top and then above the top of its price-channel, it will easily surpass
200 and then much higher.

==============================================================================
1/16/2018 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. Short-term
traders will no doubt have noted today's big reversal and how the DJI is now doing
much better than any of the other major indexes, even the NASDAQ. See the
column of ITRS numbers in Table 1. ITRS is the difference between the stock's
ETF's, or index's 50-day rate of change and the DJIs.
To guard our flanks, we should probably do some selling short in tonight's bearish
MINCP offerings. The Dollar's continuing weakness makes a Fed hike seem likely soon
even though the posted CPI is only 2.1% above last year. But, hold DIA, SPY,
QQQ and TECL. We will need to see a new Peerless Sell, a head/shoulders top
or a serious A/D Line non-confirmation before we can expect a decline that will
break the DJI's rising 21-dma.
The two hundred point jump at the opening to the DJI's 26000 level was just too
much for lots of folks not to take profits. But did you notice that the DJI could not
go much below its previous close? There were too many lagging buy orders from
folks who understand how bullish the political economy (tax cuts, de-regulation,
military spending and infrastructure re-building) is for the market's leaders, most
of whom are in the DJI-30.
One reversal day is not enough to stop this bull market.
I remain optimistic, first, because of the Buy B21's average +17% gain has not yet been
reached. So far, the DJI's September-B21 is up "only" +15.7%. Secondly, because
accelerating DJI uptrends are very bullish and because the NASDAQ shows a nearly
perfect A/I-200 score, it will probably take a truly flagrant A/D Line non-confirmation of
a DJI new high plus a Sell S9 to stop such our powerful uptrend. Low IP21 numbers are
not enough.
Third, I would stay bullish because talk of a Government shut-down is very
likely premature and, in any case, the 1995 and 2013 earlier experiences with such
shut-downs show how an on-going bull market all but ignores them. Only when the V-I
was negative in 2011 (The V-I is now + 71.), did the DJI peak with a government
shutdown dominating the news. I believe the cause then was a lowering of government
bond's credit ratings. News of this would hurt the market, I will admit. But there is no
talk of lower the bonds' credit rating now by Moody's or Standard & Poor's.
An April Top This Year Would Be The Most Typical
There is a fourth reason for believing that we will see still higher DJI prices. It is
that we only infrequently see tradable tops early in the year following a powerful DJI
advance. See the table just below. There were 33 cases to study. Only one saw a
January top after the 10th of that month. That was at the end of January 1994 when
Greenspan raised short-term rates unexpectedly.
Otherwise, consider the frequency distribution of tops in the year following a big upswing
in the DJI. There were 3 tops in January, 4 in February, all in the first half, and 6 in both
March and April. By my calculations, a mid April DJI top this year would be the
most typical given this chronological distribution.

1/12/2018 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices.
When the lower support is accelerating up and prices breakout above
flat or rising resistance, we often see swift vertical ascents. This is
rare for the DJIA. 1915 shows this most clearly. (See its chart further below.)
And that produced the single best year for the DJI ever. Usually we see such
moves in commodities or in the climactic blow-offs in smaller, speculative stocks.
The major market ETFs, led by the DJI-30 (DIA) is running away from anyone
who hesitates. Many Trump haters are being left behind. Our people should
separate politics and the stock market enough to take advantage of the trends no
matter what you think of the President's lies and vulgarity. There are still a lot of
people, even Professionals, who are still not aboard this bull market because they
cannot make this distinction. That's one more reason for thinking it has much further to
go on the upside.
Boeing and Caterpillar, representing Big Military and Infrastructure Spending, are
the leaders. They are up a lot, true. But the lesson of 1921-1929 is that they can
go much higher unless the FED tightens money for Wall Street speculation, something
which they very rarely do. As it is, higher performance money must play these leaders
and DIA, in particular. Relax and enjoy the ride. Peerless teaches us that we will
see obvious divergences and an obvious top formation when the top is reached.
If you are a Republican, I would not worry about the Democrats taking all the
fun away in November Elections. That is far away, number one. The rising market
is helping a lot of workers' 401Ks and mutual funds, number two. People vote their
pocket book. And finally, even if Trump were impeached, a President Pence
would change nothing regarding De-Regulation, Taxation, Off-Shore Leasing,
Privatization or Infrastructure Spending. My advise is do not listen to CNN. They
thrive on drama. We should focus on the market's technicals. This seems to be
a once-in-a-generation MELT-UP. This is the 1920s! If I'm right, expect to see
the fashions from then make a return, too! .

1/11/2018 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices.
There were 1610 more up than down on the NYSE. This is the best
breadth since September 11th last year when the DJI began the big
advance that is continuing full force now. What lifted the market so
much today, I believe, was its move past the expected resistance at
12500 and the Labor Department's report. just before the market opened,
that December's Producer Price Index fell by 0.1 over November's. This
gives bulls hopes that tomorrow's CPI annual change will continue to be
well below the +3.2% rate that past history suggests we should worry about.

Monday is our national celebration of civil rights' martyr Martin Luther King's
birthday. Trading the day before a holiday typically beings an advance.
Enjoy the three day weekend. I've matched the Peerless key values with
those most similar in the past. As you can see from Table A tonight, the DJI
should keep rising so long as the V-I is in an uptrend. The momentum of
the DJI's hyperbolic uptrend is accelerating. We could see some spectacular
DJI gains soon if the parallel hyperbolic uptrend shown in the DJI chart is
violated to the upside. The NASDAQ has broken above its year-long upper
channel boundary, as have the SP-500, NYSE, OEX and QQQ. Foreign ETFs
are also very strong.
The falling Bond market, Utilities and REITs reflect the flight of fixed income investors
into equities with growth prospects that can protect them, they trust, from the increasing
likelihood of Inflation. These three groups and falling Food Commodities are the
only sectors that have more stocks below their 65-dma than above. This is now
a very broad advance even though its leaders in the DJI-30 are making the biggest,
gawdiest advances.
What moves the market these days? More than technological and scientific
breakthroughs, I would bet on those sectors and stocks that look like they
will soon be the beneficiaries of a lot more Government Spending . This translates
into BA and CAT in the DJI-30.
Table A Is A Weak IP21 A Problem at This Time of Year with DJI 2.7% over 21-dma
and the P-I positive?
There were only 4 year-cases. Trouble only developed when there was a Sell S12 and/or after
the V-Indicator fell below its 21-dma and is much closer to 0. In the other 3 cases, the DJI kept

QuickSilver Documentation This is for short-term trading leveraged ETFs.
It also provides a useful short-term outlook of these sectors ETF's and the sectors they represewnt
Blue is Bullish and Red is Bearish.
1 Candle-Stick color is shortest-term. This changes when close vis-a-vis opening changes.
So, in stocks or ETFs that advanced a long ways, traders should sell when a higher
opening gives way to a decline that brings a drop below the previous day's close.
2 5-dma AROC and Close-versus- pivot point is next most short-term.
W = warning. Close is below PIVOT-Point.
3 Closing Power trend-direction vs. its 21-dma is next most short-term.
4 IP21 is used to spot divergences and to estimate underlying support.
5 > IP21 falling and below +.15 and its 21-dma is bearish in an over-extended ETF, especially
when its Closing Power is falling and is below its 21-dma.
> IP21 below 07 with AROC below .07 is less likely to bring a rally back up from 21-dma.

1/10/2018 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. Once
again, the market sold off at the opening and then steadily climbed back to
even. This shows Public Selling and Professional Buying. That has to be
bullishly interpreted. Minor declines are typical of hyperbolic uptrends until
there has been a violent vertical rise and a buying climax. I checked the
past record of weak IP21s in January with the DJI 2.0% to 2.5% over
the 21-day ma. There were only 3 past instances of this, but the DJI kept
rallying in each case for more than TWO months more. See tonight's Table A below
Bonds, Utilities and REITs got still weaker today, as reports spread that China
may hold back on buy US Treasuries or even become a net Seller. China has
been a huge buyer of Treasuries for some time. Predictably, the Chinese
Government said the rumors were "false" Read the article in NY Times tonight.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/10/business/bond-market-central-bank.html?emc=edit_th_20180111&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=58223894
True or not, the Chinese could be sending a message to the Americans that
the size of the US Debt is starting to alarm them and the Trump Administration
should not go down the path of Protectionism.
On Friday, we learn the latest CPI-Inflation numbers. These will be the most
important factor, I believe, in the FED's calculations about how fast to raise
interest rates. The biggest contributor to the CPI is the Price of Crude Oil.
The second biggest, or to close to the second, is the level of interest rates themselves.
With the current 12-month CPI figure at 2.1%, there would still seem to plenty of room
for the stock market to continue to rally before Inflation pushes the Fed's to raise rates
so high that they hurt the blue chips in the DJI-30. Until then, some of the money that
comes out of bonds will surely go into stocks.
Table A Is A Weak IP21 A Problem at This Time of Year with DJI 2.1% over 21-dma
and the P-I positive but falling on last trading day?
There were only 3 cases. In both, the DJI kept rising for more than a month.

==============================================================================
1/9/2018 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. But today's
market looked quite "sloppy", to use a word showing that there was too much
heavy lifting done by mostly high-priced DJI-30 stocks. Despite the DJI's 100
point gain, there were 500 more down than up. Not surprisingly, another early pullback
is shaping up for tomorrow. But without a Peerless Sell, today's "bad breadth"
is likely only to bring a shallow retreat by the major indexes. Such is the underlying
support gained from the DJI's hyperbolic rising support line and its shallow, optimized
1.6% lower band. See also Table 1 below. The key major market ETFs' 5-day moving
averages and Closing Powers are all still above their 21-day ma.
I suspect that there will be no important market top until Congress passes a new
Infrastructure Spending Program or, perhaps, fails to despite its need and popularity.
My studies of past markets also suggest a top will only become likely when the CPI
(rate of Inflation) surpasses 3.1% or short-term interest rates rise above 3.5%.
Note that big gains made today by all five of the DJI stocks over $190. These five
accounted for $97 of the $102 point gain made by the DJIA: BA 318.43 + 8.28,
GS 253.94 + 2.13, MMM 241.28 + 1.49, UNH 225.88 +1.06 and HD 193.10 +.06.
Gains like this just draw more money to the leading DJI-30 stocks. Big money, I predict,
will NOT soon abandon these high priced blue-chips. Nor will it start selling the hot
Infrastructure stocks before Congress gets a chance to produce its big new subsidy for
the group. Now John Deere (JD) is getting hot. Tomorrow it may be CAT again.
I expect Democrats and Republicans in Congress to climb all over each other in
pushing for much needed infrastructure Federal aid. This is much needed and should get
bi-partisan support.
(See the hyperbolic rise in the TigerSoft Infrastructure chart further below.)
Short-Term Resistance Is Likely at 25500.
Above that, prices could "go vertical" upwards.
It's not clear where traders can thereafter bunch their sell orders.
500 More Down than Up Today on NYSE Warns of Higher Interest Rates
More dangerous than the leading DJI stocks going up faster and faster is the other story
today that was largely concealed by the DJI's nice-looking gain. This is the story of
how Interest Rates are definitely on the rise. If you are a cynic like I am, I think we can
safely bet that insiders at the FED (which remains a privately run bank despite the
word "Federal") are already starting to shake up big hedge fund managers about the
risks of holding dividend stocks with advance information about how the Fed is planning
to raise rates this month or next when Powell takes over as Fed Chairman.
(If you think I exaggerate, Google "SAC, insider trading, youtube"
or listen to FRONTLINE - "To Catch a Trader 2017" )
That, at least, is how I would interpret the fact that there were 500 more down than
up on the NYSE and big declines occurred in Utilities, REITS and Bond Funds. If a
marginal 12-month new high by short-term rates can cause this much damage to the
group, how much more hurt will be caused by the FED announcement this month or next
of another rate hike? Watch the Dollar (UUP). As Oil prices rise, so must the CPI.
And it is the CPI more than anything else which moves the FED to raise rates.

==============================================================================
1/8/2018 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. We now
see breakouts by DIA, SPY, NYSE, QQQ and TECL above the top of 6mo and
1 yr. price channels. These indexes are entering the exciting vertical up-phases
of hyperbolic markets, I believe Note that the DJI's monthly chart shown just below
going back to 2009 does not yet show this. To me, this suggests there is a lot more
upside potential. (I purloined this chart tonight from TC-2000 using the ever-handy
commands Shift + PrintScreen and PaintBrush to save it as a file.).
In any case, without a Peerless Sell signal, we have to hold tight the long positions
we now hold. In addition, I suggest thinking about the logic/the dynamics of the current
political economy in the context of accelerating inequality and de-Regulation as they
reinforce what seems to be an inexorable and self-reinforcing drive for higher and higher
stock prices. See tonight's Table A.
In the 1920s, the DJI rose from 63.90 on August 21st, 1921 to 381.2 on
September 3, 1929. This was an 8 year and two weeks' gain of 496.5%.
In our case, the DJI bottomed of March 9, 2009 at 6547.05. It is now up
286.1% in 8 years and about 10 months. Yes, this an aging bull market, but
by the standards of Harding and Coolidge, there is much more head-room.
And by the standards of Bill Clinton's 8 years as President applied to the
NASDAQ, we should expect still higher prices for the NASDAQ, too. On
January 20th, 1992 the NASDAQ was at 619.38. Eight years later, by the time
he left office it closed at 4189.51 and had risen 576.4%. The NASDAQ's
gain since March 9, 2009 is now 464.2%%. On this basis, too, there is more
upside potential and even more, if we consider that the NASDAQ did not peak
until 6 weeks after Clinton left office and by then it had risen another 20.5%.
The DJI in 1929 topped out just before the Fed raised the Discount Rate to 6.0%
The NASDAQ hit its final high in 2000 a month after Greenpan's FED lifted
rates to 5.25%. (See http://www.tigersoft.com/Tiger-Blogs/8-18-2003/index.htm )
The rates now are way below this level and CPI measured Inflation is still one percent
below the levels that have caused problems for the market in the past since World War II.

Table A The Dynamics of Hyperbolic Stock Markets
The stock market's key indexes, DJIA, NYSE, NASDAQ, SP-500, all now show channel breakouts. These
are the first signs of a developing hyperbolic curves. Such trends are not sustainable. But for a while the rally
feeds on itself. It is best game in town. It attracts the gamblers and the economically hard-pressed. It draws in
the desperate middle class. It also attracts the money of the super-rich, who are richer than ever now and
cannot keep on buying more homes, boats and cars, so they must buy Boeing and Caterpillar, etc.
The growing Wealth Inequality is a world-wide phenomenon. The more wealth is concentrated, the more
political power is acquired by those who want Government not to regulate markets and allow markets to go to
their logical extreme. As a consequence, the stock market will go hyperbolic in our era, I believe. In this
environment, Corporations know that they can't just produce more goods because the average consumer
is running out of money and credit. So, they buy back their own stock or buy other companies' stocks and
create bigger and bigger trusts, conglomerates and monopolies, instead. Mutual fund managers who should
know better, can't resist the trend. They are judged by whether they can match the major indexes'
performances. So, instead of being prudent, they chase the leading stocks and indexes and up the leading
stocks do, higher and higher until the Bubble is finally pierced. You might think that the FED might try to
stop this "asset-inflation", but they don't and won't. Such is their history apart from 1936-1937 and
half-heartedly in 1929. Their Wall Street and political masters won't let them. So, in my judgment,
the model of the 1920s seems the best parallel. But that was long ago and no one alive has a personal
memory of the hyperbolic trend then and what drove it higher and higher until the market collapsed.
I will publish electronically my History of the US Stock Market, 1915-1932 in a few weeks for those who
want to read more about this topic that I find so timely.

==============================================================================
1/5/2018 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices.
We are living in Wall Street's New Utopia. We should go higher, quite possibly much
higher. Look at how all the key Indexes are not only making new highs together, but
breaking out above the top of their price channels. We have a "Goldilocks" financial environment.
Overseas' markets are strong. Inflation is not a problem, yet. And interest rates are still quite low.
What's more? Now rich people will have a lot more money to invest. And so will corporations.
And then there's De-Regulation and Privatization, too. The only thing left would be the
privatization of Social Security. Wall Street wants this, too. What better way to set the
stage for another crack at the golden eggs of the retirement goose, than a straight-up stock
market now? Main Street needs to re-discover Wall Street, its boosters know.
It's true the DJI is now at the 2.5% upper band and the DJI has risen 4 straight
days. A small retreat should not come as a surprise and will give us a chance to
buy more at better prices. I have to think that the IP21-Accumulation Index turning
positive is constructive. We appear to be in the midst of a January take-off into
all-time high territory. 25500 looks like the last logical place where sell-orders might be
concentrated. So, give the market more chance to run.
The big NASDAQ stocks, like GOOG, remain favored. In the DJI-30, I would
think CAT and MSFT (the DJI's highest AI/200 stock) will do well. Oil service stocks
should go much higher now that the Trump Administration has declared it wants to open
up all of America's shore-lines for exploration as well as Alaska.
Eventually inflation will become a problem. So, interest rates are bound to rise as the
size of the Federal deficits gets more and more attention. Stay away from Utilities, REITs
and pure dividend plays. Gold and Silver will go higher, too, but they are defensive
plays. This is a time when speculative animal spirits will take over. This will bring bounty
to lesser known biotechs making flat top breakouts. Now is the time of the year when
high (intense) Accumulation shows which stocks are having new positions being taken
by institutions. I've tried to put some of the most promising-looking high IP21
in the MAXCP group tonight. And last but not least, foreign ETFs like JOF are
gathering exceptional momentum. No fewer than 63% of the foreign ETFs we
track made 12-month highs on Friday. See Table 3.
I would not worry about the FED yet.
Only when short-term interest rates rose above 3%
in 1957, did the 1950's long bull market fall 19%.
A Sell S9 signal finally stopped the bull market in July 1957.
But before that, in 1954 and 1955, the NYSE A/D Line
and the DJI rose together to one new high after another.
That seems the closest past parallel and model for
us to study. Note that before interest rates rose to 3.5% in
July 1957, the CPI (Inflation's Annual Rate of Change)
had to rise above 3% a few months earlier. Right now,
that number is only 2.2%.
Table A below shows that it will be difficult to get a Sell S12 signal soon unless the
P-I breadth and V-I worsens abruptly. Table B shows that until the Inflation's (CPI)
12-month rate of change rises above +3.1%, it is unlikely the FED will raise rates to levels
where the stock market becomes vulnerable.
The connection between the level of Inflation (CPI) and interest rates is clear enough.
If the CPI were to jump above the prevailing interest rates on government bonds, it would
become very difficult for the government to finance its debt. Right now, the published 1
2-month rate of change in the newly created "urban" CPI is rising at a 2.2% clip. So, on
this basis, too, the market does not look vulnerable.
Stock market inflation does not count. Not since the mid-1930s has the FED worried
much about about inflation in stock prices (asset-bubble). Their 1936-1937 fear about a
stock market bubble grew out of their complete failure to protect the country against the
1929 stock market bubble. Like Generals who re-play the last war, they obsessed about
about allowing another stock market bubble and crash.
This active focus on asset-bubbles pretty much ended after these concerns led the Fed
to tighten credit and margin requirements in 1937 with the result that the stock market crashed
by more than 40% in 1937 and early 1938. So, though some Fed members may talk about
excessive stock market speculation, I would not count on the Fed to try to arrest it. Of much
more concern is Inflation and also a very weak Dollar. Right now the Dollar looks weak, but
this is also what President Trump says he wants to see. It remains to be seen if the new Fed Chairman
Powell will take his marching orders from the President or Wall Street's bond houses and international
banks.

Yes, we have no Sell S12 yet.
No Sell S12 here. The V-I is too high and the LA/MA is too low. Though based on
negative non-confirmations by the IP21-Accumulation Index, the code for the Sell S12 looks
at many other key variables besides IP21; the result is that we must see much lower P-I, V-I
and AROC, or else the DJI will have to get much closer to the full 3.5% band. I have just
finished going through all the January Sell S12s' key values, one by one. See them here.
I think you'll see that pattern. I also dummied in hypothetical numbers and could not easily get
a Sell. The reason the code is this way is that there are quite a few take-offs in January and
this is the best way I could distinguish the reversals from the take-offs. As you can see from this
table, much of the time the Sell S12s do not bring immediate reversals in January.
23 January S12s since 1929
>All but the one in 1930 would have been profitable if DJIA shorted
and then covered on the next Buy signal.
>16 of the 23 would have dropped the DJI by 8% or more at the time
of the next Peerless Buy.
>But only 9 of the 23 would have called the January top perfectly.
If we consider only the post 1965 cases, then only 3 of these 13
would have led to a paper loss of more than 2%, the biggest being
3.3% in January 1981.
> There are lots of S12s that occur with the DJI's "la/ma" less than 1.035, but they

==============================================================================
1/4/2018 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. Almost
all industry groups and sectors funds are rising except dividend plays like REITs and
Utilities. When all the key indexes are simultaneously making new all-time highs, it
is very difficult for the bears to concentrate enough sell orders to stop the bull market.
They are trying. Yahoo regularly gives space to bearish forecasters who have been
wrong for a long time. And our Tiger Accumulation Index for the DJI is still negative.
But Peerless refuses to give a Sell signal and remains steadfastly bullish. Keep in mind
that most September Buy B21s do not bring a meaningful reversal until after January.
Over-night orders keep pushing the markets higher and subsequent sell-offs are minimal.
We will need to see new evidence to not just trust this bullish momentum. Wall Street has
gotten from Trump and Congress nearly everything it could realistically wish for. In return, a
bull market is expected and needed now to boost the "real" economy. I don't think Wall Street
will fail to produce its part of the bargain, at least not for a while and probably not until
interest rates go over 3%. Too much is at stake for Wall Street to fail to deliver.
The DJI is not close enough to the 3.5% band to produce
a Sell S12 with the key values we now have.
It is possible to get a Sell S12 signal (IP21 negative and the DJI at the upper 3.5% band)
but shy of that level, it will be difficult. Should we get a Sell S12, the odds of it producing
a significant decline are very good. There have been 23 January S12s since 1929. All but
the one in 1930 would have been profitable if the DJIA was shorted and then covered on
the next Buy signal. 16 of the 23 January S12s would have dropped the DJI by 8% or more
at the time of the next Peerless Buy. But only 9 of the 23 would have called the January top
perfectly. If we consider only the post-1965 cases, then only 3 of these 13 would have led to
a paper loss of more than 2%, the biggest being 3.3% in January 1981. I will post this study
over the weekend so that you can compare the key values in these signals with the present
ones. Right now, it will be difficult for Peerless to give a Sell S12 tomorrow. In addition,
I expect the Accumulation Index to turn positive next week if the DJI keeps moving up
the way it has this week.
In Table 1, you can see the favored (blue) groups are TECL (techs) and the oil sector.
Utilities and the Dollar remain in bearish (red) category. There is little reason to believe
that these trends will continue. The big tax cut is inflationary. Not surprisingly foreign
ETFs for China, Russia and Asian and European small caps are now on the rise. See
below that SMH (semi-conductors) and CH (Chile) show particularly high levels of IP21
(current Accumulation) among the top power-ranked sector ETFs and foreign ETFs.

1/3/2018 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. The
advances today in leading techs, semi-conductors, the NASDAQ and QQQ are encouraging.
This shows continuing confidence in Growth stocks. More military spending, smarter robotics
and lower taxes, especially on repatriated earnings, seem to more than offset any profit-taking.
We should also see them historically as a favored group when Inflation Fears begin to worry
investors.
Oppositely, the continuing weakness in the Dollar, Banks and Utilities reflects a
widening belief that Inflation must surely make a return this year given the huge
cuts in Federal taxes. As a result, the fall in Utilities shows no sign of relenting and
Gold, Silver, Oil and commodities, generally, remain favored. Utilities have
under-performed the DJI by even more than TECL (3x tech stocks) have
outperformed it.
Impressively, the leading Indexes are all simultaneously advancing into all-time high territory.
This is very unusual. Such congruence is ordinarily bullish. See the charts of DJI, SP-500,
NASDAQ, NYSE and the OEX.

1/3/2018 Bullish MAXCPs Bearish MINCPsNegative IP21s Are Not Consistent with January Take-Offs.
A new January take-off is clearly being attempted. It is worth looking back at earlier January
"take-offs" to be reminded of the upside-potential this presents. But when do this and also
look at the internals and key values, we find that nearly all successful January take-offs showed
much higher IP21 readings than the -.09 we now see on the DJIA. Moreover, when the IP21 was
below -.01, the success-rate fell for these attempted January takeoffs. When the IP21 was
below -.01, there were 3 January declines in 5 cases and one February peak before a decline
to the lower band. This means we should still be looking for a January top and must
watch the uptrends of the Closing Powers, as was suggested last night.

1/17/2013 +429 +.191
5 1/16/2014 +222 -.016 Immediate decline 7% decline.
There are two other problems. Though the DJI rose an impressive 98 points today and made
a new high closing, there were only 446 more up than down on the NYSE and many dividend-
paying bond funds, REITS and bank stocks, including even Goldman Sachs, are not doing
well. The Closing Power for GS even made a 12-month low today. The main problem now is
a fear of a return to Inflation and a quick rise in interest rates if the Dollar starts falling.
But this is not the 1980s. But Inflation is still much lower than in the 1980s; so are interest rates.
The Republicans in Congress may even choose to move in the direction of a national sales' tax
to prevent a big deficit if the new round in "supply-side"/"trickle-down" economics does
not produce enough national growth to shore up Federal revenue.

1/2/2018 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. The
advance today in leading techs, semi-conductors and the NASDAQ is encouraging. This
shows continuing confidence in Growth stocks. (They are a favored group when Inflation
fears begin to gather forces.) The continuing weakness in the Dollar, Banks and Utilities
reflects a widening belief that Inflation will make a return this year. Accordingly, Gold,
Silver and Oil are favored.
But lets consider the major ETFs, DIA, SPY as well as the NASDAQ. As long as Peerless
does not give a Sell signal, we are probably safe. But just to be sure, if the DJI's IP21 continues
to be negative and the key ETFs' Closing Power remain below their recent highs, I think we
should review some of our Closing Power rules for traders.
How worried should we be that the DJI's IP21-Accumulation is now -.086. So far, my answer
has been to wait for Peerless to give a Sell signal. But let me revise that below. When the
Accumulation Index remains negative for a week or more and the Closing Power is lagging,
it may be a good idea to draw the best Closing Power we can with the SP-500 and Sell if
the CP breaks that uptrend-line. I will start posting this chart along with SPY's and DIA's.
SP-500 now show shows a falling Closing Power
and a negative IP21. This can still be repaired. It must
not worsen. That would likely be bearish and mean
one of January sell-off scenarios we have recently shown
might start to play out.
Rules for Closing Power and Closing Power Weakness
Applied to SP-500.
1) It is usually very bullish when the Accumulation Index (IP21) has been consistently positive
and then dips below zero for less than a week and then turns positive again.
Examples below occurred within a year of bull market peak in 2000. Even so it is bullish.
This concept would seem to apply to the NASDAQ now. But another week's delay
would make rule #3 apply.
2) An extended flat-top pattern followed by a breakout which is soon abundantly
confirmed by IP21 is very bullish. Examples: SP-500- 1994-1995 and 1998-1999.
3) When IP21 and Closing Power are lagging, prices can still go higher for a while,
but it is advisable to sell when the SP-500's Closing Power then breaks its uptrendline.
This commonly occurs at a very tradable market top.
Examples: SP-500: 1996, 1997, 2000, 2011, 2013-2014, 2014-2105.
4) Expect a sell-off as soon as Closing Power uptrend is broken following a Peerless
S12 or after the SP-500 forms a head/shoulders pattern:
Examples: Oct-2008 and May 2010.

Blue is Bullish and Red is Bearish.
1 Candle-Stick color is shortest-term. This changes when close vis-a-vis opening changes.
So, in stocks or ETFs that advanced a long ways, traders should sell when a higher
opening gives way to a decline that brings a drop below the previous day's close.
2 5-dma AROC and Close-versus- pivot point is next most short-term.
W = warning. Close is below PIVOT-Point.
3 Closing Power trend-direction vs. its 21-dma is next most short-term.
4 IP21 is used to spot divergences and to estimate underlying support.
5 > IP21 falling and below +.15 and its 21-dma is bearish in an over-extended ETF, especially
when its Closing Power is falling and is below its 21-dma.
> IP21 below 07 with AROC below .07 is less likely to bring a rally back up from 21-dma.

H A P P Y N E W Y E A R
12/29/2017 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. However,
traders have to stay vigilant. The DJI's Accumulation Index (IP21) is now negative, a -.041, the
major ETFs' Closing Powers are all falling and the NASDAQ is significantly underperforming.
the DJI. Only Gold, Silver, Oil and Oil Drilling show blue Quicksilver strength. This is the result
of a weakening Dollar and the likelihood of a much higher rate of Inflation in 2018.
All the major market ETFs show mostly or all negative (red) Quicksilver values:
DIA, SPY, QQQ, IWM, TECL, SOXL and even FAS. See Table 1. Fortunately, the upwards
price and breadth momentum should limit any decline.
The temptation now will be strong for many to take profits in high flying tech stocks due
to the much lower taxes this year and switch to infrastructure stocks because of the
likelihood of new federal legislation which will focus on "rebuilding our crumbling" bridges, roads,
railroads, airports, schools...". All we have to do to see this is to compare CAT's accelerating
uptrend with the NASDAQ and its numerous signs of weakness.
If the V-I, now +40, turns negative and the DJI hovers where it is now, we could still get a
Sell S16 until Thursday. See the recent example below. That seems an unlikely development.
Traders should appreciate that a very low or negative IP21 in the DJI now does not
mean that we will next see a quick decline to the lower band. In 4 of the 9 past cases
where the IP21 was very low like it was on December 28th, there was no January decline
much below the 21-day ma and even in the four cases where there was a January peak,
the DJI typically advanced 2.1% from the end of December before making its top.
The Big Picture Remains Very Bullish
Barring war, we are in the midst of a tremendously important fiscal experiment/gamble. The
Trump tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy plus the bullishness of a big, mostly privatized
Infrastructure program are setting up for Wall Street and stocks for what could be an almost
"perfect" new year. Just so long as interest rates do not shoot up past 3%, the history of the
1950s, from 1954 to 1957 suggests that we should remain very bullish. If we compare this,
the second year of the Trump Administration, with the second year of the Eisenhower bull market
in the1950s, we could see another very good year, perhaps, like 1954-1955 was back then.
(These years' DJI charts are shown below.)
Of course, such an outcome will require the current red Distribution in the DJI chart soon drying up.
After that, we should expect to see a late January price breakout and a surge to new highs, all
confirmed by the NYSE A/D Line. But first, the markets must deal with the cross-currents of
profit-taking and accentuated tax-based selling.
January Seasonality and Short-Term Traders
If this were a more typical year, we could not be so bullish. But as a trained Keynesian,
I have to view tax cuts and additional federal spending as a powerfully bullish combination
for two or three years.
Overall since 1929, Januaries are the fourth most bullish month of the year. But this is
misleading. If we only look at Januaries in the second year of the Presidential Election,
then this month has only a 54.5% probability of rising and the average gain in the DJI is
just 0.2%. As I have said a dozen times since Trump's election, these statistics give no
weight to his tremendously bullish economic growth program. Note that Trump even says more
inflation should be viewed as a positive force. (So, I can't wait to see how he treats his new
Fed chairman when the latter starts talking about inflation and the need for higher interest rates.)
The Negative IP21 Is Short-Term Bearish
Early Januaries (before the 10th) have produced tradable declines in 10 of the 24 second
years in the Presidential cycle. (1918, 1942, 1962, 1970, 1974, 1978, 1982, 1990, 2002
and 14). When the Accum. Index is negative but the P-I is positive at the end of the year
and the DJI has closed more than 1% over the 21-day ma, as it did on December 28th,
the odds are 4/9 (44.4%) that we shall see a tradable January top but still 55.6% that we shall
not see a stop until at least February. Looking at those cases closer, we see that the
DJI rises 2.1% from the end of December to these 4 January peaks. See my study here.
And all these January peaks gave a Peerless sell signal. So, for traders, the conclusion I have
to reach now is that we should still give the market more of a chance to run.

==============================================================================
12/28/2017. The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. The DJI's
narrow price pattern looks like a FLAG. This is usually a continuation pattern. And bullishly the
NYSE A/D Line made a 12-month high. But our IP21 remains negative.
The conclusion I reach is
that until Peerless gives a Sell signal, we should not sell. I should add, though, that all
major ETFs now show falling Closing Powers. (See Table 1). This is a warning not to
expect a big January take-off; at least not until we see some gains extended significantly
after the openings.
In reaching that conclusion, I have looked back at all the past cases where the DJI closed 1.01%
above the 21-dma and showed a negative IP21and a positive P-I, as now, on December 28th.
Only in one cases should Peerless ideally have given a Sell. That was in 2009. After a quick
decline to the lower band in January 2010, the DJI then rallied to new highs. Table A below shows
all these cases.
I also reviewed the data for all 16 cases where the NYSE A/D Line was making a new high at the
end of December. In 7 of the 16 cases, the DJI moved up after January 10th to significant new
highs. But in 4 cases, the DJI quickly topped out and fell. In 5 more cases, the DJI peaked before
January 10th. Note that in only 2 of these cases did the DJI fall more than 2.5% below lower band
before running up to new highs. In 13 of the 16 cases, the DJI made significant new highs after
whatever January mischief it needed to deal with.
Today Nicolas Tesla's Dream of A Wireless World Seems A Lot More Real.2
Energous (WATT) is company that builds chargers that can power electronics through the air.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted its first approval for remote wireless- charging technology, its “WattUp” system, yesterday. That’s a big step closer to commercial
viability for wireless charging. There would be a huge market for this. Many other applications
are sure to be developed. As a caution, note that we do not know how long it takes to charge,
say, a cell phone and today the US Patent & Trademark Officepublished a pair of patent applications from Apple relating to wireless charging. WATT
should go much higher. So should AAPL. Worldwide-interest in this could be huge.
(I will add it to the stocks that are graphed each night.)
Consider A Short Sale on Square Financial Services (SQ)
It has a big bet on Bitcoins. But the real reason, I think, that it now shows a bearish
head/shoulders pattern is because it is unexpectedly freezing merchants' moneys without warning
after they have run a customer's credit card through its slick processing system. More and
more complaints about SQ's arbitrary seizure of this money and the difficulty that merchants are
having getting their moneys unfrozen. This we can see from the on-line reviews of SQ. Since
trust and confidence are the keys to any financial services business, SQ is burning a lot of bridges
and getting the worst kind of publicity. Well, not the worst. That may lie ahead. This is a story
that is only beginning to play out. SQ is a San Francisco company. The number of complaints
against it will surely lead to the State of California launching an investigation into what appears to
be a form of financial theft and racketeering. News of such an investigation will really hurt. This is
a company that depends entirely on businessmen's confidence in it. (I will add SQ the stocks
that are graphed each night and we will see if this story develops into a full-blown scandal.)

===============================================================================
12/27/2017. The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. The DJI's
narrow price pattern looks like a FLAG. This is usually a continuation pattern. And bullishly the
NYSE A/D Line made a 12-month high. Except in 1976, 2004 and 2013, a
a strong A/D Line making new highs at this time of the year is usually quite bullish for
the start of the new year. This is seen in the DJI and A/D Line charts of 1943-4, 1949-50,
1950-1951, 1952-1953, 1954-1955, 1958-1959, 1992-1993, 1995-1996, 1996-1997,
2003-2004, 2005-2006, 2010-11 and 2016-2017. So, on 13 occasions late December
NYSE A/D Line new highs led to the bull markets extending into March or longer. Only thrice,
did a strong A/D Line at the end of December produce a tradable January decline. (More
on this tomorrow night.)
We do have several bearish concerns. First, short-term rates rose sharply today. But the markets
largely ignored this. Secondly, the NASDAQ continues to lag the DJI. But one could also say
that it is short-term oversold. And third, most of key ETFs we follow still have falling Closing
Powers. See Table 2.
Without a Peerless sell signal, we should continue to trust the bullish seasonality.
Since 1965, the DJI has risen 64.7% of the time over the next ten trading days and averaged
a gain of 0.7%. A month from now the DJI has a 2/3 probability of being higher if we only
consider its track record since 1965. The average gain over the next month is an impressive +1.3%
I would avoid shorting equities now. Even the most bearish looking stocks can rally in January
when tax-loss selling comes to an abrupt end. Gold is tempting. It has shown a pattern of rallying
in January when it has previously been weak. But with interest rates on the rise, its upside
may be more limited.

==============================================================================
12/26/2017. A lot of shifting in and out of sectors is taking place while the market
appears to be quietly sitting still in slow holiday trading. The shift
out of tech stocks will probably increase as we go into the new year.
Infrastructure, Mining, Metals and Heavy Industry Stocks are winning
new favor. The Trump Administration may be preparing a new plan
to spur infrastructure investment and spending.
The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. The DJI's
narrow price pattern looks like a FLAG. The low volume today fits that interpretation.
So, despite the falling 5-day moving averages and Closing Powers for DIA, SPY, FAS,
TECL and SOXL, there may soon be an upside surprise. But first these ETFs need to
close above their 5-day ma pivot-points. And to go significantly higher, Professionals
will have to show themselves to be buyers by having any price breakout be extended.
We will need to see that happen to become bullish for January.
Interest Rates are almost certain to rise. Perhaps, much faster
than the Fed and stock investors want. This is the message the
Utilities' head/shoulders offers us now.
The Dollar is now below its 65-dma and seems to be trying to digest what will happen
if the Federal deficit mushrooms because of the huge tax-cut. The weakness in Utilities reflects
this, as does the new highs made by Oil and Gold's rising back above its 65-dma. The
big winners today were Infrastructure stocks like CAT and DE. But note below, too, the new
highs made by the Dow Jones Coal and Morningside Sectors: Iron Ore and Steel and
Copper Sectors. Next year Congress and the President will turn to Infrastructure spending.
The President knows very well that he owes his election to folks in the rust-belt states, West Va.
PA, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. I would expect a lot more investment funds to be put to work
in much neglected heavy industry and infrastructure sectors. Some of the money will surely will
come out of the investment sectors that have been leading the long advance, especially high techs
and the nifty-30 stocks. Profit-taking in TECL and SOXL stocks must be expected in the new year,
at least, for so long as their Closing Powers are falling. Further below, see the head and shoulders
patterns in Fidelity's Computer Sector Fund and in Morningside' Electronic Equipment Fund. These
are warnings that we must be flexible and recognize trend-changes as they develop.
(I am having trouble identifying the components for this Coal Index. It must be
ARCH and BTU, which I have added to the MAXCPs tonight.)

Blue is Bullish and Red is Bearish.
1 Candle-Stick color is shortest-term. This changes when close vis-a-vis opening changes.
So, in stocks or ETFs that advanced a long ways, traders should sell when a higher
opening gives way to a decline that brings a drop below the previous day's close.
2 5-dma AROC and Close-versus- pivot point is next most short-term.
W = warning. Close is below PIVOT-Point.
3 Closing Power trend-direction vs. its 21-dma is next most short-term.
4 IP21 is used to spot divergences and to estimate underlying support.
5 > IP21 falling and below +.15 and its 21-dma is bearish in an over-extended ETF, especially
when its Closing Power is falling and is below its 21-dma.

==============================================================================
12/22/2017. The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts
higher prices. The main ETFs' Closing Powers, however, are not rising and their IP21s
(Accumulation Index) are mostly negative. From Table 1 below, you can also see that
most of the major ETFs, higher priced DJI-30 and tech stocks are also below their 5-dma
pivot points. This would seem to put a limit on the potential of the market to rally just
now despite the bullishness normally associated with this time of the year.
Note that we are not likely to get a Sell S16 later this weak even though Santa Claus appears
a wee bit tired. This is because the V-Indicator would need to drop back to +4. The V-I is
now +60. Any sell in here is very likely to come on strength in January.
What has happened in the past when the DJI was 1.7%-1.9% over the 21-dma and showed a
low IP21? The IP21 now is only .012. The answer is that only once did it quickly turn down.
That was the most recent case in 2014. In 6 cases, the DJI peaked in January, 3 times the rally
stopped in March and once the DJI got to April before falling back to the lower band. So,
without a Peerless Sell signal, it seems reasonable to expect a rally beyond the year's end. While
there no doubt will be new money coming into the market with the start of the year, I would
expect considerable profit-taking because the new tax bill makes that more advantageous. So,
we have to be on guard if the market's internals do not improve.

Blue is Bullish and Red is Bearish.
1 Candle-Stick color is shortest-term. This changes when close vis-a-vis opening changes.
So, in stocks or ETFs that advanced a long ways, traders should sell when a higher
opening gives way to a decline that brings a drop below the previous day's close.
2 5-dma AROC and Close-versus- pivot point is next most short-term.
W = warning. Close is below PIVOT-Point.
3 Closing Power trend-direction vs. its 21-dma is next most short-term.
4 IP21 is used to spot divergences and to estimate underlying support.
5 > IP21 falling and below +.15 and its 21-dma is bearish in an over-extended ETF, especially
when its Closing Power is falling and is below its 21-dma.
> IP21 below 07 with AROC below .07 is less likely to bring a rally back up from 21-dma.

12/21/2017 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. Only
small gains are likely. The Closing Powers are not rising for the major market ETFs
shown at the top of Table 1.
New highs have a commanding lead over new lows. So any weakness should be
limited. The primary source of weakness now is in Utilities (because of fears of rising rates),
Natural Gas and food commodities. Hopes of big infra-structure spending is making CAT
go vertical. Chevron in the DJI-30 is celebrating the opening of the Artic wilderness to drilling
by bursting to new highs.
We shouldn't see much trading tomorrow. Typically, the market does rise on the last trading day
before Christmas and the next day afterwards. The Accumulation Index for the DJI
has turned negative. This may cause a Sell S12 on December 28th. But no Peerless
Sell is expected until then.
Instead of a normal Hotline, let me offer this present. It's something that we all might want to
do. Namely, going through stocks in the Tiger download-letter, like "17-A", one by one,
and pick out the salient technical lessons from each. I hope you find this useful. Go here.
Attention will mostly be turned to BitCoin's bursting bubble tomorrow. Notice the bearish false
breakout over $17000. Let's hope their is no spread effect.

Blue is Bullish and Red is Bearish.
1 Candle-Stick color is shortest-term. This changes when close vis-a-vis opening changes.
So, in stocks or ETFs that advanced a long ways, traders should sell when a higher
opening gives way to a decline that brings a drop below the previous day's close.
2 5-dma AROC and Close-versus- pivot point is next most short-term.
W = warning. Close is below PIVOT-Point.
3 Closing Power trend-direction vs. its 21-dma is next most short-term.
4 IP21 is used to spot divergences and to estimate underlying support.
5 > IP21 falling and below +.15 and its 21-dma is bearish in an over-extended ETF, especially
when its Closing Power is falling and is below its 21-dma.
> IP21 below 07 with AROC below .07 is less likely to bring a rally back up from 21-dma.

12/21/2017 Bullish MAXCPs Bearish MINCPs
==============================================================================
12/20/2017 The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices.
Any dip at this time should be considered a buying opportunity. I doubt if the
DJI will fall as far back as to break its rising 21-dma in the next week.
Interest Rates May Rise Very Quickly Now?
The tax cuts will almost certainly increase the National Debt. George "Read My Lips"
Bush Sr. found this out the hard way. The Fed will almost certainly will not keep rates
low. So, I would short the bearish interest-rate sensitive issues shown among the Bearish MINCPs.
The DJI-Utilities chart has broken its year-long uptrend and shows a bearish head and shoulders.
The Trump tax could rapidly increase the Federal deficit and require much more borrowing by
the US Treasury. Buy PST (shown below). At this stage, I think the ETFS and high-caps
that will move up the most going into the new year will be those with the highest IP21 readings
and rising Closing Powers. Interestingly, when we rank all the Leveraged ETFs for IP21,
the highest (showing the most intense Accumulation) are DYY (Double Short Commodities),
PST (Short 7-10 Yr Treasuries) and BZQ (3x Short on Brazilian Stocks).
BUY PST
Does Santa Claus Have Any More To Give?
It's only natural that some traders are taking profits now that the new tax bill has
passed Congress. So, a short-term pullback has started. DIA, COMPQX, SPY, QQQ, MDY
and FAS all show falling Closing Powers and Red candle-sticks. (See Table 1 below).
Only a shallow decline is expected. The Peerless system cannot easily give a Sell until the
28th of December because of the bullish seasonality now. In Table A below, we show the
numerous cases since 1965 where the IP21-AI was near or below 0 with the DJI more than
2.1% above the 21-day ma between December 17th and the end of the year. What this
demonstrates is that even with a weakening IP21 and an "over-bought" DJI, there
were no Sells until December 28th at the earliest. In every case, the DJI continued higher
until at least December 28th. This is the "Santa Claus effect".
True, some may say that the Trump Rally has frequently suspended the operation of ordinary
seasonality, so there may be no Christmas rally. Perhaps, but given the special bullishness of the
Buy September B21, given the very bullish AI/200 score for the NASDAQ and given how
shallow all pullbacks in the DJI have been for the last year, I would not expect the DJI to stay
very long at its 21-dma support, if it does drop-back that far. There are just to many buyers
"wanting in". The DJI's rising 21-day ma is now at 24219 and is rising about 60 points a day.

12/19/2017
The September Buy B21 still operates and predicts higher prices. Any dip at this
time should be considered a buying opportunity.
A short-term decline after the DJI pushes up to the round-number 25,000 to
celebrate Congress's passing the biggest US tax cut since 1986 is certainly
a possibility. Grabbing profits when a long-expected bullish event finally takes
place has a long tradition on Wall Street. And though BA and CAT show no signs of
slowing down in the DJI, the Hourly DJI's DISI-OBV has recently widely failed to
confirm the recent run-up. We also see negative (red) distribution when we look at the
key DIA ETF.
But such a sell-off now would be fighting the bullish second-half December seasonality.
Since1965, the DJI has advanced 68.6% of the time over the next five trading days and
has averaged a1% gain over the next ten trading days and 1.9% over the next days. And
it would be fighting Peerless, which has yet to produce a Sell. Going back to 1915,
I don't believe there have been any significant tops in on-going bull markets that were
made in the week before Christmas even when the Accumulation Index is close to 0,
as now. The biggest declines at this time were a 1% pullback in 1951 and 1959 and
a 2% retreat in 1953. There are many more cases of big advances from now until
year-end and beyond.
Wall Street Will Not Allow This "Wager on The Rich" To Fail
Working now is a much important consideration than the bullish seasonality or any
technical warnings. Wall Street has a huge vested interest in keeping the bull market
going. Just as when they punished Truman and Kennedy by dropping the market
(and the economy) when these two Presidents began to threaten Corporate and
Wall Street power, now they must reward Trump and the Republican Congress.
I believe they understand very well that a sell-off now would work against the whole
purpose behind the tax-cut, which is to pump up Wall Street, thereby making big
shareholders and corporations oodles of money so that their spending and investments
will spur on national economic growth and make the economy surge by the time of the
Election next year. Now is not the time for Wall Street to grow feint-hearted and
"fold". I believe Wall Street is very aware of their responsibility now to make the stock
market go much higher. Too much is at stake for them to act like short-term traders.

Blue is Bullish and Red is Bearish.
1 Candle-Stick color is shortest-term. This changes when close vis-a-vis opening changes.
So, in stocks or ETFs that advanced a long ways, traders should sell when a higher
opening gives way to a decline that brings a drop below the previous day's close.
2 5-dma AROC and Close-versus- pivot point is next most short-term.
W = warning. Close is below PIVOT-Point.
3 Closing Power trend-direction vs. its 21-dma is next most short-term.
4 IP21 is used to spot divergences and to estimate underlying support.
5 > IP21 falling and below +.15 and its 21-dma is bearish in an over-extended ETF, especially
when its Closing Power is falling and is below its 21-dma.
> IP21 below 07 with AROC below .07 is less likely to bring a rally back up from 21-dma.
